BrianHermelijn Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Greetings, I have had this problem too on Photoshop, any other software works fine when you use Window Capture. However both Photoshop and Affinity Designer, I can't see the canvas. I Is there any way to resolve this aside from using full display capture? Which defeats the purpose, since I want to record the application window. Thank you. Quote Illustration/Design Journal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I've no idea if it's relevant but do you have more than one GPU? See this post for more information: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Laptop-Performance-Issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted July 30, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi Brian, Unfortunately there is currently a bug between our apps and OBS where the canvas doesn't show when the scene is set to Window mode. However it will work on different settings. C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianHermelijn Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Thank you for the responses @GarryP @Callum @haakoo - Yeah do know of using Display Capture, but wanted to confirm to see if the canvas problem was on my side or not. Hopefully we can see a fix in the foreseeable future, I suppose for now will just have to continue using Display Capture.

GarryP Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 @Callum I - and probably some others - would be very interested in learning a bit more about what the problem is. Would you be able to give some details - if it's not giving away any proprietary secrets - about this issue? Either in layman's terms or guru-speak would be fine (we can all do internet searches). At the very least it might help us get some basic insight into how modern apps are developed and what some of the difficulties are when creating cutting-edge software like the Affinity range. A little bit of a peek into the day-to-day trials and tribulations of software developers might help users understand something about - and gain more appreciation for - what the developers go through in order to create this software we like so much. Also, if people can read about the sort of effort that goes into creating and maintaining complex software, they might be a little less eager to present frequent and repeated requests for "more stuff and quicker about it" (although, of course, that's not guaranteed).

SrPx Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Or they could work in several software developing companies as I did...(games, apps, and webs. Some concentrating the 3 in the same pack, and other combinations) . As a graphic guy web coding grunt, and other stuff, it was really exhausting (and yet fun). But the coders, I mean, the actual programmers...those were really under pressure (not that I wasn't). I did not really code, but I could see 'em loose blood, sweat and tears, every minute of every day ...truly... They can explain u stuff, but if it is something remotely similar (maybe not, UK is extremely different (for good) to my country's work habits and company culture) to what I lived through a bunch of years, people wont get it fully... Will only see an abstraction, (probably sugar coated for all public) not the entire crude picture... (so, surely wouldn't have the effect you mention, at the end....IMO ) If I could summarize in non technical ways what we all lived in most cases ... having no life, working till high hours in the night (often connecting with the morning and continuing) almost every weekend (at least they seem to stop, or most of them, then) and many days so too during the week, high pressure every minute, no time to breath. From what I read sometimes around here, is not the case. But even with a 20% of that, they deserve all the margins they need, and all the credit... (at least, from me...) Quote AD, AP and APub.

BrianHermelijn Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hmm I tried CPU Mode but it doesn't show it either so, I don't think its Nvidia @haakoo Quote Illustration/Design Journal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Same issue in Affinity Photo. EDIT: I use Windows 10 laptop with a single 1070 GPU (no integrated graphics). Using Display Capture is not viable for me for two reasons: 1) I move and resize my windows regularly depending on my needs. Using Display Capture does not track my application or scale it within the bounds of my recording resolution. Because of that, cropping Display Capture to the edges of the Affinity application will reveal my desktop when I have to resize the application or move windows around in order to better view windows containing image references . 2) Also, I am not interested nor comfortable with showing my entire desktop to people while I record or stream. In the following example I have cropped the Display Capture to my Affinity application's window size, and it is rescaled up to 1920x1080 in OBS. Then I moved/resized the window (as I would normally do in order to fit reference/other viewable content/etc on my screen): Red = My desktop that I may not want viewers to see. Green = Affinity Photo window rescaled and moved as needed. As you can see it is not only not scaled up to the resolution, but part of it is even cut off. Blue = Areas that, overlapping or otherwise, may contain folders and or windows that reveals information that I may not want viewers to see: — windows that may contain private files, folders, or information — forums or private chats that I may not want viewers to read (browser-based/discord/twitch dashboard/etc.) — OBS itself Edited March 27, 2019 by Guest why Display Capture is not viable for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
