yakk Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Hi I had the occasion to work on some photos yesterday night with the 1.6.6 version of AP on Mac and I had several crashes. I cannot give a specific manipulation to reproduce it, it wasn't complicated retouching, just few layers, few adjustments. It always happened when operating a change on the layer panel though, changing a visibility, adding a layer,... I transfered all the crash reports to Apple. I noticed it just because version 1.5 was very stable for me. Tx OS X 10.12 - AP 1.6.6 - AD 1.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy_b Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hi, thanks for the new version. Are there plans to provide an automatic upgrade installer at some point? It's simple enough to download and install, but it would be convenient if the process was a 1 click update. Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NilsFinken Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I am happy to see that there is a new version 1.6.1 for download for both Designer and Photo (Windows). Where do I find the release notes? Gary_F, Txeroki and snh230 3 Lenovo laptop with Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, Windows 10 Home.

The software is so cool, but the performance negates that. I've had to purchase Photoshop recently because I can't be waiting for processors to finish. I think that once the software is more optimised then this truly will be a Photoshop killer. For now though I find myself using primirily Photoshop but will continue to learn/use Affinity Photo becuase I do see it as next-gen software. I think its a bug. I had the same issues on my 2016 MBP, but suddenly everything was smooth again (dont remember why or when). Now it easily outperforms both Sketch and Photoshop.

Henry Stahle Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 They keep on crashing, both both Designer and Photo 1.61 (Win10). Still, I want to use them... so keep on debugging.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoHotel Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Where did the side bar go that had the color wheel, layers and layer effects, zoom etc? I can't seem to open any of those or get the side bar back, after the update!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photo570 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) My apologies if this has been covered before. How multi-threaded is Photo? Just trying to figure out if the new iMac Pro is worth it. Standard iMac is 4 core i7. iMac Pro is 8-18 core Xeon. Will it make a noticeable difference? Kind regards, Jason Berge.

One item that I have been looking for from the beginning is the equivalent of a 'knife' tool in Adobe Illustrator. The ability to trim a complex vector form along a line is very important for my design work and something that requires hours of work to do without a 'knife' tool. Does version 1.6 have this tool, or its equivalent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.M.1986 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Big bugs with Affinity Designer, not the first time, a beta version and 1.6 fixed it for a time, but I think since I am on High Sierra it appears again. When you zoom in or work on a second monitor, a bigger one, like every professional, there is huge glitch I don't see what I draw, for example rectangles I'll put a screenshot so you can see.

G.M.1986 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I am not sure what you are trying to say, me it is simple, I draw a few rectangles. If I am working on a second monitor or zooming in those rectangles tend to disappear or glitch. Can't work like that, I seriously think going back to adobe because they pissed me off with their model, but it works and I need to put food on the table.

G.M.1986 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Here's again with the 1.6.1 beta. tried it it seems to correct the glitch when zooming in my main monitor.
