Affinity Photo Customer Beta (1.7.0.111)


Recommended Posts

  • Staff

Status: Beta

Purpose: Features, Improvements, Fixes

Requirements: Purchased Affinity Photo

Mac App Store: Not submitted

Download DMG: Download

Auto-update: Available.

 

Hello,

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the latest beta of Affinity Photo 1.7 for macOS.

Photo 1.7 is a (very) significant change to the currently shipping 1.6 version, so, as ever, I would strongly urge users to avoid the 1.7 beta for critical work. This is a pre-release build of 1.7 - we will release more builds before 1.7 ships. Things will be broken in this build - please use it to explore the new features and not for real work.

If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.

It’s also worth noting that we aren’t done yet - we are still working through reported bugs from previous releases and hope to fix as many as possible before the final release of 1.7.

With all that said, we hope that you will enjoy the new capabilities introduced in this release and we look forward to any and all feedback you give to us.

Many thanks (as always),

Affinity Photo Team  :ph34r:

Changes Since 1.6 Release


Performance

- The core processing engine in Affinity Photo has been rewritten to take advantage of the powerful discrete AMD GPUs in modern Mac hardware. It will now automatically use any compatible discrete GPU, alongside the Intel GPU support present in 1.6. Typically this improves compositing / editing performance by at least 1000%. Performance when using integrated Intel GPUs has also been massively improved.

- External GPUs (eGPU) are also supported - including hot-plug-and-unplug support.

- Multiple GPUs are supported - if you have more than 1 GPU (ie. Intel + AMD in MacBook Pro, or Intel + eGPU in other Macs) Photo will use them all, at the same time, to improve performance. There is no limit to the number of GPUs which can be used.


Brushes

- Photo 1.7 introduces a new “sub-brush” mechanism, developed in conjunction with Paolo Limoncelli (DAUB® Brushes). This exciting feature allows any brush to have a list of other brushes attached which will draw at the same time. Each sub-brush has a fully separate and customisable set of dynamics. You can control when the sub-brushes are drawn and how they blend with the main brush.

- The brush engine in Photo has been rewritten to use the new GPU architecture described above. With GPU support, even huge brushes with 1% spacing will perform well. All brushes / brush tools are accelerated.

- Symmetry (up to 32-way) is now supported - including on-canvas controls and optional mirroring. We have more symmetry features on the way - so stay tuned during the beta process.

- Wet edges and accumulation are now available on colour brushes and brushes with HSL variance.

- Brushes with multiple nozzle textures have always chosen the nozzle at random. In 1.7, the nozzle choice has a dynamic controller and ramp for greater control.

- All brush tools now support left and right arrow keys for rotation - a common feature request ;)


RAW

- The RAW processing engine in Photo has been rewritten - producing better results and improved performance. It also takes advantage of the GPU architecture changes described above.

- RAW files now load much more quickly - especially if you have a compatible GPU.

- Reimplemented support for XTrans sensors.

- The denoise algorithm has been rewritten. It produces better results and takes advantage of the new GPU architecture.

- Hot pixel removal is now automatically performed by the Serif Labs engine.

- Profiled lens correction are more stable, apply more quickly, and can be toggled in the Develop UI.

- The histogram in the Develop persona is now presented in the output colour space - as opposed to always being linear.


Filters

- New “Procedural Texture” filter with advanced presets support.

- New “Voronoi” filter.

- Denoise, Clarity and Shadows / Highlights filters have been rewritten (using technology from the Develop Persona).

- More filters are now available as Live Filters - including the new Procedural Texture filter.

- Live filters have been rewritten to improve performance - especially when multiple filters are used in a document.

- Improved Polar to Rectangular and Rectangular to Polar filters.


Adjustments

- The HSL adjustment layer has been rewritten. It now supports custom hue ranges, a new algorithm, new UI and picker controls.

- The Levels adjustment layer now supports output levels - a common feature request.

- The White Balance adjustment layer has been rewritten.

- The Selective Colour adjustment layer has been rewritten.

- PSD import / export of adjustments has been improved.

- The Vibrance adjustment layer has been rewritten.

- The Recolour adjustment layer has gained a lightness slider.


Tools

- The Crop tool has been rewritten - it now supports resolution changes, absolute pixel size and has a much improved preset mechanism.

- The Sponge Brush tool now gives more correct / pleasant results.

- A general tools overhaul has been performed - providing editing of grids, guides, page origin, across multiple tools (not just in the Move tool)


General

- “Alternate futures” for document history have been added. Traditionally, if you roll back the undo history then do something else all your changes after that point are lost. Photo will now display a small branch icon in the history tab when you do this. Pressing that button will cycle between all the different “futures” after that history entry - meaning you will never lose work you have done.

- HEIF images can now be loaded directly into Photo. If they contain a depth map, this will also be loaded as a second layer. Because depth maps are typically lower resolution than the main image, optional “smart” upsampling will be performed.

- A large number of new cameras are supported for RAW development (we will provide a list of the new supported cameras as soon as possible!).

- The batch process dialog now fully supports expressions for height and width - available constants are “w”, “h” and “dpi”.

- Photo now supports custom document presets - a popular feature request.

- A new blend mode - Linear Burn - has been added.

- New “Move inside / outside” commands have been added - useful for quick operations on clipping masks etc.

- The Hard Mix blend mode has been improved.

- New provider options have been added to the stock panel - support for Unsplash and Pexels. Both of these providers offer full-resolution stock imagery which is free to use.

- Metadata is now dynamically synchronised with your document - so if you resize then export, the values will be correct.

- Numerous text improvements have been made - including new features.

- Significant PDF import / export improvements and fixes.

 - Numerous other bug fixes - too many to list!

- Added ellipsis to adjustments flyout in layers page.

:37_disappointed:   WRONG!!!   That doesn't require more information before completing the action.  The action it performs is to add the adjustment layer, and it does that without prompting.  The fact that the layer's edit window is opened is not the same thing as requiring information to complete an action, so this should NOT have the dots.

Hi @Andy Somerfield 
this feature is so good but ... the colors looks dimmed and not natural, i mean the Red is kind of darkish.
i don't know if it's me but the colors are not reflecting brite life that Affinity brings.
Also please make it possible for us to add more tagging colors or create our own tagging color palette which fits our workflow as we don't use the same colors used by everyone to do the same kind of job.

Also i like the way icons have been refined just by looking at the bottom icon set (Mask, Adjustment, Fx and Live Filters...) it is more professional and less bigger thus making me feel better just by looking at it.
The monochromatic icons display is not yet updated to fit with this Professional look but can wait until it is updated.

Auto Levels, Auto Contrast, Auto Colors and Auto White Balance does nothing to a picture loaded unto the Software. i may be missing something with it but i can click tons of time nothing changes compared to older version (precisely 1.6 cycle).

Burn & Dodge tools have no effect on layer masks ... bug ?
i mean here i tends to use Dodge or Burn tool to refine edge and remove fringes or exceeding contour; by pressing Alt+Click on Mask i should be able Burn tool on Shadows and Dodge on Highlights with the dedicated tools but ... it does nothing in this version or maybe missing something here too.

Tone Mapping Persona still takes a lot of time to load also its applies without asking the last used Preset, which is a bit confusing, i mean the Tone Map should load its interface without Auto Applying any previously select tone map, i should see the photo/picture in its default state/appearance then from that point i can make my choice: Apply a preset or fine tune the thing using my own adjustments.
Here also ... bug or ?

Blessing for this release as it is much faster in general and seems to be the open door to new Affinity Feeling.

Never be the Same Again !

Very glad to see this! It could also use an extra-large size for people on large 5K monitors. I hope the left side tools bar gets enlarged soon as well! Maybe 2-3 times the size (probably 3 times the current size given the major increase in pixel density screens.)

Colors look bright on my machine (2013 MacBook Pro, Mojave). Could be a High Sierra thing, or something else...

This is how colours look currently. They don't look "dimmed" quite the contrary actually. Are yours different in any way?

The color palette of the current persona icons would be a great palette to base these on IMO.

On my mbp pro the latest beta works really fast and without a big problem. There were some problems with the fx ( especially frame function) but this was no big thing. I have to check this in the next days to find the trigger for this.

good job guys...

Hello @MEB
Was offline for hours, but Yes it is different, so maybe something with my settings.
Was thinking of doing calibration but still need to source a calibration device for that.

Thanks for yours answer, appreciated !
Blessings !

Well did anyone noticed that the blemish removal tool in the development persona now work better and does better fix suggestions? 

Also found the inPainting tool is much intelligent and does apply correction much faster too.

Still something like the new inpainting method on PS is really needed but want it more intelligent but this is another story.

Blessings !

I'll get this looked into for you. Thanks Uncle Mez!

Thanks a lot @Chris B

Was thinking if you could make it possible to have different sizing for layers and sub layer?

i mean here I would be able to chose big or medium size for layer but I also should be able to set a different size for sub layers in this case small or medium all this depending on how I organize my workflow.

possible ?

once again sorry for posting this here but today I'm struggling no power and posting from my very old iPhone 4.

blessings !

Hello,

I read in the description of new features:

Quote

- The flood select tool now has a refine button.


But I don't see it and it is really a pain that it doesn't have anti-aliasing options..

Is this going to be fixed?

Thanks!

Hi Roberta,
Check the screenshot below for a reference (Flood select tool and the new Refine button in the context toolbar). Regarding anti-aliasing I suggest you create a new thread in the Feature Requests section.

 

Hi MEB,

I don't see that in my Affinity Beta, I have a Mac Book Pro and the latest version available of the beta..
(Please see attached)

Regarding the anti-aliasing I will do thanks :)

You were looking at the Flood Fill Tool (paint can), not the Flood Select Tool (magic wand).

Oh Jeez!! :O 

Thanks for the clarification!
I didn't even noticed a different tool was highlighted in the image...

 

I posted about the anti-aliasing for the flood fill tool on a already existing post from 2016...

I wonder why this feature is still not implemented..
