Tomáš Luža Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hello there, I am having a bit of an issue with thumbnail preview of layer masks in Affinity Photo (Windows version). Especially when working with larger files layer's mask thumbnails get sometimes (quite often to be honest) stuck. I mean it does affect image but thumbnail remains black/white (not showing the shape and intensity of paint). Expanding group or minimize Affinity Photo usually helps but obviously that is not ideal solution. Now I have discovered that there are similar topics here already but I am wondering if this has been resolved so far or is on schedule to be? Or If there is anything else I can do to fix it? BTW my rig spec is : I7 7800X (3.5 Ghz / 4 Ghz turbo), 32 GB RAM, GTX 1050ti, SSD, so I guess hardware shouldn't be of an issue. Thanks and cheers T.

Tomáš Luža Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hello @GabrielM, thanks and I will do. Just wanted to ask, can I install it alongside my Af. Photo master build? I suppose this won't affect my main installation? Thanks, T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted February 20, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 20, 2019 If you don't install it in the same folder, no, it will not affect the 1.6 release ( By default it will create its own folder). The beta build is a separate install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomáš Luža Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 @GabrielM I just tested it and it looks promising. There is still a bit of a lag when you paint and then release mouse button it takes like 1-2 seconds to update preview in thumbnail, but still that is good enough as long as it doesn't get completely stuck. Will further testing. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
