Staff Patrick Connor Posted October 26, 2017 Staff Share Posted October 26, 2017 Remember that the Rotation options are only there in the Develop Persona when opening a RAW directly - not when entering Develop Persona from an already developed document.

Alfred Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Perhaps I'm missing or misunderstanding something, Patrick – it wouldn't be the first time! – but if I paste an image from the clipboard and rasterize it the rotation options become available in the Develop Persona.

Hi Alfred, yes, 15 degrees.. make it 6 times and then there is 90 degrees, great ! Lets go this way and click "Develope". Next the picture is in Photo Persona, try to operate with ex. enlarged picture with sliders changing the position Horizontal slider move the image vertically and vertical slider move the picture horizontaly.

Still.. try to move rotated and enlarged RAW file in Develop Persona (where view not document is rotated) with sliders (horizontal and vertical then work opposite) needed ex. for Blemish, Paint, Erase Tools which you need to correct at the Develop Stage (not at the next Photo Persona stage).

kumarab123 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Downloaded the beta today. Opens faster and feels snappier overall, esp in Develop. Uninstalled though...will wait for the stable release. DoF blur filter simply loops. Can't do anything, other than kill AP from the task manager (saw it touch 100% usage the third time I killed it). Becomes unresponsive with Lighting filter now and then, for like 5-10 seconds. Same with zooming and panning. Context Menu file opening results in unhandled exception error 1 out 3 times. But this problem exists with the 1.5 release version too.

For what do you need layers in a raw development tool? If you use dxo, you do not need Affinity Photo's develop persona.

I do a lot of shadow highlight recovery, this works best in RAW (ie. DNG, CR2) format, but I can do only global adjustments in DxO. So I want to import DNG file into AP, but than I can't save what my settings were to ie. recover some pixels, or redevelop the raw file (brighter/darker spots).

If the develop module covers your needs, you don't needed it. My needs are not covered, because I need non destructive raw processing with sidecar files integrated into a photo management software where the developed changes can be previewed. The tool must support body and lense profiles and auto correct photos according to these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
