[AP Beta 1.5.2.66] - Corrupted .afphoto file by Beta

[AiDon]

The Beta app seems to have corrupted this file during editing and now I cannot duplicate layers as, using Ctrl+J to duplicate any layer, results in a layer as in the attached screen shot being created. The process undertaken was:

 

• Import from a multi-layered TIFF 
• Save as .afphoto file
• Turn off visibility on all layers except Background
• Duplicate Background layer
• Select a Mask using the Selection Brush Tool
• Mask using the Mask Layer icon
• Refine the mask ... Smooth 2 pixels and Feather by 4 pixels
• Move the masked layer up by 2 layers
• Turn on visibility of all layers except layer labeled ReMask
• Save the file

 

Next try to duplicate any layer and the layer is duplicated as in the screen shot.

 

The AfPhoto file can be downloaded from: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hj7la7d4zm14mhj/EOS%205DS%20R172267.afphoto?dl=0

Hi AiDon,

The file isn't corrupted. You have a very small selection in your file (which isn't visible when the file is opened on Windows due to another bug). When you duplicate a layer and you have a selection, it will duplicate that area of the layer (instead of a whole layer). This is 'By Design' - if you go Select > Deselect you will be able to duplicate layers without a problem.

Thank you, I appreciate the help ... I understand the duplication process but I just couldn't find the selected area as I couldn't see it. It took me a while to find it after you explained as they are large files and viewing at 100% is the only way to find it.

 

Also, there have been complaints about the size of your AfPhoto files but in this particular case the TIFF (uncompressed) is 1.27GB and the AfPhoto file is 0.97GB. So thank you for all the work being done.
