Mark Ingram Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Click here to download the latest beta Status: Customer BetaPurpose: StabilityRequirements: A valid product key, issued when Windows Affinity Photo version 1.5 was purchased.This is a beta of a substantial change to our codebase and as much as we have tried to ensure the quality of the code, 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 definitely worth noting that files created in Affinity 1.6 may not open in 1.5 so always make a copy of your important documents before opening them in 1.6 to ensure you do not accidentally overwrite them and are unable to open them in your 1.5 version.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.Fixes Fixed batch processing failing to complete parallel jobs Fixed Swatches 'Set as default for' not working properly Fixed Quick Mask 'Show as Transparent' not showing the mask Fixed Slices Panel not updating when ticking/unticking slices Fixed missing Copy cursor when dragging Macro between categories Fixed anchor point box moves when clicking Flip Vertical Added SVG import of CDATA text Fixed Focus Merge discarding images and producing poor results Fixed Text nodes clipping against its curves when output to PDF if it has a live filter applied to it Fixed raster brush nozzle being barely visible in preview from a tablet device Fixed live filters not printing flattened when applied to vector objects Fixed Refine Selection undo then brushing results in lag Fixed Refine Selection undo doesn't work when used for a second time Fixed Selection Refinement preview for when the reference image is an image (not a pixel layer) Fixed Selection Refinement preview to be more like the result of applying Fixed brush dynamic for Direction being inverted Fixed pixel layers copy/paste pasting to the top-left of the node, rather than any active selection area Fixed incorrect background colour after closing a document Improved performance of waterfall colour choosers Fixed sporadic crash in tone mapping (affects HDR Merge, etc) Fixed Develop Persona Chromatic aberration interfering with noise reduction Fixed crash creating 1 x ( > 1024) pixel document Fixed Hard edges appearing in Depth of Field filter Fixed RAF images opening distorted and cropped Fixed Develop Persona presets not working for non-basic panels TheLivingKing2, Hofnaar, pioneer and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulAffinity Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Excellent. 6s jog load time in beta vs. 12s in live.... Pleased. All my key functions appear to be working ok. Looking forward to a November release.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Thank you! The FilterMeister preview issue seems to have been fixed. An error still pops up when a filter is reopened: Aborting X86_call_fmf1 -- code not valid. But the filter proceeds to work. I understand that it has to do with initializing variables; will have upgrades available soon. —Russell http://www.russellcottrell.com/RCFilters/index.htm PaulAffinity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrym Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 just finished an edit session and also re-edited a couple of images I had a lot of stability issues with using .85. Very happy, this version feels like a release candidate Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altae Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Performance of the healing brush when using "Current layer & Below" is still unbearable. Shadows & Highlighs live filter still reverts Shadows Range to 50 %. New: The Blend Ranges dialogue is flawed, as soon as there are 3 or more points to define a custom blend range the corresponding values cannot be entered manually as the boxes for the input and output values are greyed out (screenshots attached).

Sherbakov Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Found that guides are invisible on the edge of the opened document or outside of it. Move tool can grab it and move. But what to do with outer guides? It would be much easier to navigate if guides were visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max N Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Wacom. The cursor of the tool of clarification and darkening brakes even if you do not press. The tool brush does not brake the brush. If you use it, then everything is OK, and if the tablet, then very strong brakes.
