Puck Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hello, some files look different when opened with Affinity Photo 1.7.0.106 (see screenshots) iMac 2017, 16 GB RAM, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536 MB, MacOS Ventura 13.6.6 (22G630) - Affinity V2-Universallizenz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 HI Puck A number of things have changed such as how some filters and adjustments work behind the scenes which affect the appearance slightly. Without a file or knowing exactly what your file consists of there it is very difficult to say what is causing this slight change Cheers Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hi Chris, the reasons why the files look a little different are clear to me. I just wanted to point out that if you open older files with 1.7.0.xxx, you should take a close look to see if anything has changed. As a hint for other users.

Hi Walt, I wanted to say that I can understand that - if you rewrite a program - something like this can happen. It shouldn't, but it is.

Puck Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hi there, as it turns out - at least in my case - this only happens when the metal compute acceleration is activated. If this is turned off, I have the same view as in 1.6.7 (no matter if 1.6.7 has Metal enabled or not) Cheers, Puck (iMac 2017, 16 GB RAM, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536 MB, MacOS 10.14.2) iMac 2017, 16 GB RAM, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536 MB, MacOS Ventura 13.6.6 (22G630) - Affinity V2-Universallizenz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Too early: Here's another example of an image created with AP 1.6.7, opened in AP 1.7.0.108 beta (Metal on or off doesn't matter!) I'm talking about .afphoto files, of course. For example, if I compare jpgs, they look the same in both versions.

Puck Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hi there, the difference in the appearance of the files seems to occur with certain life filters, because this effect does not appear with every .afphoto file.
