HRW Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I just started using beta two days ago to do processing on some raw images of architecture that required perspective change. Here are my first thoughts on improvements. When doing a perspective transformation in Photo Persona, the grid distorts along with the image, which does not make sense to me. the grid itself should remain rectilinear so that it provides a reference for horizontal and vertical. Similarly, in Develop Persona, the lens distortion corrections provide a perfect means for perspective correction in RAW. However, there is no grid whatsoever to provide horizontal-vertical references. It would be very valuable to have an option to show such a horizontal/vertical grid. In the lens correction, will there eventually be a range of files for different lenses, or will the user have to create them him/herself? This especially relates to issues like barrel/pincushion for ultra wide angle lenses. The chromatic aberration correction seems very good. Thanks! For crop, you certainly want a 3:2 constraint option. This is the standard 35 mm format. I cannot get Affinity to print. The printing dialog comes up, but when I click OK, the printer simply runs a sheet through without printing. Thanks for developing a really powerful Mac product!

billtils Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Generally agree with where you are coming from. For a beta, the image editing capabilities are outstanding, but my hair would have gone grey with the hassles of getting it to print what I want, were it not that the same issues have already made me pull out my hair :) Could we PLEASE have a print UI like that in LR????

Staff MEB Posted February 20, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hello HRW and billtils, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Thanks for your comments and suggestions. There's still a long way to go until Affinity Photo is finished. We are still adding/improving several features. Bear with us while we develop it. I'm sure all print problems will be solved as soon as possible. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billtils Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Thanks for responding MEB. I'll take it as at least "It's a beta and there's a lot to do yet, but printing will get its turn". I can live with that :) Retina iMac (4K display, 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM) OS X 10.11.6 Capture One 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
