dmstraker Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I wanted to use a screen/window image, so did Alt-PrtScn. Then File/New from Clipboard. ...and it looks like the 'too white' effect we were getting with RAW import on the previous version. I then added Curves to compensate and tried to Merge and the Curves layer wouldn't disappear. Tried with other adjustments. Same effect. Tried with 1.6. Happens here too.

Ron P. Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The Copy from Clipboard layer is an Image Layer. Needs to be rasterized, then the merge works as it should.

Staff Chris B Posted February 26, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 26, 2019 I don't seem to be getting the same effect. Could you screenshot a comparison between the window you captured and the Image layer inside Photo?

But @Ron P. is right that New from Clipboard gives you an (Image) layer after a PrintScreen operation, and to merge your adjustment layers into it you'll need to Rasterize that layer, or use Document > Flatten instead. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Going from Photo persona to Tone Mapping.

Staff Chris B Posted February 27, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 27, 2019 I still can't reproduce the New from Clipboard issue. Have you changed any of the settings in Preferences > Colour? The Tone Map is applying a Natural preset so I'd expect this to change! We could maybe add a toast to inform the user to rasterize the image layer. What do you think?

Still happening. 7 hours ago, Chris B said: We could maybe add a toast to inform the user to rasterize the image layer. What do you think? Breakfast option? With marmalade would be nice. Information to help user would probably be a good idea. Maybe more generally, give a Preferences option to enable tips, then add more toast points...

agnesim Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I have a photo croped to 30x30cm 300dpi, selected all, copy the image and then use new from clipboard. The result is a modified dpi image, now its 96 dpi 93.75x93.75 cm. why the new file is not 300 dpi ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVDB Photography Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 @dmstraker PrtSc : I don't get the same effect either. Tone Mapping : the whitening effect there is because a default preset with 100% Tone Compression is being applied (which is the same as in 1.6) Affinity Photo 2.3.1 Laptop MSI Prestige PS42 Windows 11 Home 23H2 (Build 22631.3007) - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.00 GHz - RAM 16,0 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
