Affinity Photo Public Beta - 1.5.0.45 (RC2)


Recommended Posts

As Affinity Photo has now launched, the public beta is no longer available. A customer beta will be available shortly.
https://affinity.store/en-gb/buy/windows/photo/
 


 
 
Status: Release Candidate
Purpose: Stability
Requirements: None

As this is a beta release, it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity that you may be adversely affected by the application failing. In addition it is worth noting that files created in Affinity Photo 1.5 cannot be opened in Affinity Photo 1.4, which means that they cannot be opened in the latest Mac App Store version of Affinity Photo, and instead you will need the latest macOS 1.5 beta.

We hope you enjoy the latest build, and as always, if you've got any problems, please don't hesitate to post here and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Thanks once again for your continued feedback.

If you have a general question about the software, please head over to the Questions Forum, or if you have any suggestions, please head over to the Feature Requests forum.

Alas, it keeps crashing when I try to process images calling NIK collection. In the task window I see Affinity Photo still running, but not visible on the monitor. I hope the DMP crash report will be sent.

I am looking for the Lighting Filters and I can not find it on the Windows version.

 

I seen screen shots and tutorials for Mac using the Lighting effects but I don't know where to find it and I don't see it listed in the Help.

 

Is Lighting not supported in the version for Windows?

Hi LarryM,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Which application are you using? Affinity Photo or Designer?

 

The filters are only available in Affinity Photo (currently available as a Public Beta for Windows) which is our photo editing program. Affinity Designer doesn't have them.

You already can effectively do this

Not sure if I should still report on a bug that I've reported on in previous versions (but is still present). Maybe the bug already made it to the list, and I don't wanna come across as a naggy little turd.  :unsure:

 

Either way, I'm ready to buy as soon as this releases. My AD is feeling lonely now.

Affinity Photo still complains about unkwon ressource blocks it doesn't know and simply stops loading. If a future Photoshop version adds a new tag - the same will happen. This behaviour throws the whole forward and backward compatibility (that is so great about the PSD format) out of the window. As far as I know the PSD format was intentionaly deisgned to not have versions, but features. There is no reason to halt import because of an unknown ressource block.

 

Detailed bug report here:

https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/30366-psd-parsing-bug-import-halts-on-unknown-image-ressource-blocks/

 

BTW, thanks for quickly fixing the other bug I reported (32-bit PSD layer mask).

Well i don't know what causes the problem, I have inserted the Log file from affinity here in previous releases.
My Wacom works perfectly in many other different softwares, only Affinity Photo has this little delay that prevents me to draw desired lines. The devs team stays quiet about that, i have not idea if they are still looking at it, or not. I am happy to look for solutions on my side also, but i run out of ideas what else i can do.

We are still looking at this issue and hope to have a fix available for it soon.

Hi Mark, kindly implement a right click option to the pen tool for stroke to be able o make selection that can specify a feather radius (note it should keep the input values throughout the entire session) this to make masking using pen selection much easier like photoshop.

Also about German lang: "Copy Flattened" is not translated. Photoshop (CS2) calls it "Auf eine Ebene reduziert kopieren" (German makes it complicated....) How about: "Zusammengefasst kopieren"?

Yes, sorry about that, the programmers sneaked a whole new feature in this build! There was no time to get it localized in any language, so thank you for your suggestion.

Hi, you would be better making this request in the Feature Requests forum, else it will probably get lost in here.

Hi,

 

Request 1:

About resizing an image or the canvas size:

Would it be possible to add the option resizing by "percentage".

 

Request 2:

Curves: in photoshop you can add a point to the curve and set the RGB values fot that point to for example 128,128

Could this option be added in Affinity Photo?

 

Request 3:

Smart Object (in Photoshop) is a feature I use a lot in my workflow. Could this be added to Affinity Photo aswell?

 

Regards

 

Johan

 

Edit: moved towards feature request
