whizzrd Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Thanks for making Affinity Photo more awesome! Just a quick question: is the new (and hopefully improved) shadows / highlights algorithm implemented in the Tone Mapping persona as well?

Jonas14 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I have a little problem with the NIK (Google) filter - DFine 2 (I keep getting this message (S. screenshots 2017-12-18 and 2017-12-19).) What do I do when I get the state of affairs? www.donath-photographie.eu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas14 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 but that has nothing to do with the new beta, it was already in the beta 1 available. Only in the regular version (1.6.6) did not exist ... www.donath-photographie.eu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manu schwendener Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Macro column is visible when I first open this Beta. That may be on purpose. To hide it again View -> Studio -> uncheck Macro manuschwendener.ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxxxworld Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 there are some news about release of next beta? I have problems to open Lumix G9 RAWs on MAC Sierra. There is only a black screen, nothing else. So I can´t check the quality of the new camera on AF! Please help!

JoanKauai Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The Media Browser, shift-command-m, is indeed improved in 1.6.7 beta 2 over 1.6.6. Now subfolders within the Pictures folder can be opened and photos within them selected. Also, additional folders can be added to the browser window by dragging into the window. Nice. The problem that remains, IMHO, is that the browser cannot be docked into either the left or right studio panels. The browser only floats. I would like to dock the browser on the left studio panel consistent with the UI of other still and video editing programs. Thanks for listening -- Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxxxworld Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Dear Affinity developers, do you have any idea for a date of release of 1.6.7 - B 2 ? I´m waiting really hard for the improvements of Shadows & Highlights and Curves!

Staff MEB Posted January 19, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hi Maxxxworld, It was already released (on this thread). The link to the file/installer in right on the top (5th line), unless you meant Beta 3?

I imagine he means the actual release of this build (or one like it) to the public as 1.6.7. I think that there will be another beta before the release, because of the PNG transparency issue if nothing else.

Maxxxworld Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 oh sorry, I meant the final release of beta 2. But if there are still problems with PNG transparancy, I´ll wait for beta 3 .

Polygonius Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 After 3 hours testing: 1. Fonts/Forms get rasterized by a filter, even if the assistant is set to "no action on vector" 2. some small view-glitches if set in preference "big font", like here below. 3. The objective-blur is extremly slow. Escpecilly with extrem radius/bloom. +++++++++ Will the next version of this beta use the same path and preferences? its a lot of work to import/reset all my shortys, preferences, brushes, palttes... It would be nice if all upcoming versions use this base-settings. OSX 12.5 / iMac Retina 27" / Radeon Pro 580X / Metall: on! --- WWG1WGA WW!
