dmstraker 361 Posted February 25 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. 60 Posted February 26 The Copy from Clipboard layer is an Image Layer. Needs to be rasterized, then the merge works as it should. 1 Chris B reacted to this Affinity Photo 1.6.5.123, Beta 1.7.0.243; Win10 Home Version:1803, Build: 17134.706: Intel i7-4770, 3.40GHz, 16GB Ram, Nvidia GTX 645 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris B 1,169 Posted February 26 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Windows 10 Home, version 1809, 16GB memory, Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.00Gz, GeForce GTX 970 Affinity Photo 1.6.5.123 and 1.7.0.333 Beta / Affinity Designer 1.6..5.123 and 1.7.0.333 Beta / Affinity Publisher 1.7.0.337 Beta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bit of a usability confuser, though. @Chris B: Think I've found another 'whitening' one... Going from Photo persona to Tone Mapping. Here's video with both effects: Dave Straker Cameras: Sony A7R2, RX100V Computers: Win10: Chillblast Photo with i7-3770 + 16Gb RAM + Philips 40in 4K; Surface Pro 4 i5 Favourite word: Aha.

Chris B 1,169 Posted February 27 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?

Checked Colour preferences. Identical to yours. Tried it again today with another image. 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 2 Posted May 8 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 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HVDB Photography 185 Posted May 8 @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 1.6.5.123 & 1.7.0.333 bèta Windows 10 Home v 1809 (build 17763.437) - 64 bit processor - AMD A4-5000 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.50GHz - RAM 8,00 GB Calibrated Monitor (Datacolor Spyder5 Pro) My Youtube channel Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
