Steve Beeston Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) I am extremely unhappy with the poor performance of the "rewritten" shadows/highlights live filter in Photo 1.7, to the point where I would like to revert to 1.6.7. Unfortunately only old versions up to 1.6.5 appear to be available on the download page - 1.6.6 and 1.6.7 are both missing. Is this an oversight? https://store.serif.com/en-gb/update/windows/photo/1/ Edited June 7, 2019 by Steve Beeston Jowday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithferion Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 There was never a version superior to 1.6.5 for Windows, as far as I remember. I keep all the Installers, I’ll take a look as soon as I can.

walt.farrell Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 1.6.5.123 (or .135) were the latest Windows releases. 1.6.6 and 1.6.7 were only Mac, I think. More details here.

Jowday Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 It is the worst implementation of shadows/highlights recovery in the industry. "Graphics software redefined" - Indeed Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface." Computer-, operating system- and software agnostic; I am a result oriented professional. Look for a fanboy somewhere else. “When a wise man points at the moon the imbecile examines the finger.” ― Confucius Not an Affinity user og forum user anymore. The software continued to disappoint and not deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Beeston Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 I've tried downloading and installing 1.6.5 but I just get "Setup failed" when trying to re-install. Looks like I'll have to go back to Photoshop until this is fixed. As I recall, the Shadows/Highlights live filter in the Photo persona was rewritten in later versions and was certainly an improvement on earlier implementations, although still far short of the Photoshop equivalent. I don't think the Shadows/Highlights adjustment in Develop was rewritten though. They seem to have chucked out the newer rewritten filter in Photo and simply copied the poorer Develop adjustment in to Photo. I'm surprised this wasn't picked up in testing. It's a gamechanger for me as I use the live filter a lot in my workflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
