John Rostron Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I had been processing an image an image by making a selection and then selecting Refine selection. This created a red matte that covered my entire image, not just the non-selected part. I was able to paint around the edges and refine and use the selection. I then tried to print the image. and the red matte also appeared on the preview image. I exported the final image as a flattened tiff (closing the original). I then re-loaded it and went to print. Again the red matte was there. The image printed OK. You can see my final image under Share Your Work.

Staff Chris B Posted March 18, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hi John, Are you able to reproduce this on a new document at all? It would be handy if you could so we can get the afphoto file from you with saved history. It sounds similar to when in Inpainting red matte got stuck on the screen so I wonder if this is a related issue John Rostron 1 How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rostron Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 @Chris B I tried to reproduce the Refine Selection with a new image, (one of the various images used for stacking) but it appeared to behave itself. I then called up the print dialogue and got this: The red matte on this is similar to what I was getting on my Refine Selection. Here is an .afphoto file similar to what I was using before (which now behaves): AmaryllisMergeTIF.afphoto John Windows 10, Affinity Photo 1.10.5 Designer 1.10.5 and Publisher 1.10.5 (mainly Photo), now ex-Adobe CC CPU: AMD A6-3670.

Staff Chris B Posted March 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 19, 2019 Hi John, The red tinge is coming from a bug in the Print preview dialog. The image was too big for the paper so the print dialog was warning you by giving it a red tinge, however if you reduce the scale so it fits on the paper, the preview still had the red tinge. So I need to log this with the developers and there's nothing wrong with your image!
