Red Angel Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hi, is it correct that the RAW indication is missing in Persona Development? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 It's still present on Windows, but perhaps there's a Mac issue. However, your screenshots were from different raw images. Is it possible that the one with 1.7 was taken with a different camera that's not supported by the raw engine you're using? Perhaps that information is only present when the camera and/or lens are supported. Or, is it possible that in 1.6 you were configured to use the Serif Labs raw engine, and in 1.7 you're using the Apple raw engine? Perhaps the information is present only when using the Serif engine.

Staff Lee D Posted August 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 19, 2019 In the Develop persona click on View > Customise Toolbar, you can drag RAW part onto the toolbar or drag the default set back to the toolbar. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit off topic but when I opened the Customize Toolbar drop down to add the RAW Readout item, I noticed that (I believe from a bug in a previous version) I had 2 "Auto White Balance" buttons & a "Baseline Grid" button. I assume all 3 should be deleted, right? FWIW, the grid button has no effect but the auto one darkens the image greatly, & has no History panel entry.

MJCphoto Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Can I go back to an older version where all the tools are still on my screen? I'm so aggravated. I LOVED Affinity photo and I hope to love it again. Stop making things so difficult. I spend all my (limited time) trying to find the tools I need. And now I'm out of time. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which tools in which persona do you mean? And do you mean tools or toolbar items? AFAIK, all of both from the older versions are still available, plus a few new ones.

MJCphoto Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I'm not very tech savvy, so it's not east to describe what I'm trying to say. But what I am still missing is where you can click on the layers that you have added to a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I am still missing is where you can click on the layers that you have added to a photo. In the Develop Persona you are usually working on a Raw image, which does not have layers. If you want to use the Develop Persona on an already developed image, you can do so by selecting a pixel layer before clicking on the Develop Persona. When in the Develop Persona you are working on just that single pixel layer that you selected. You do not have access to the other layers; that is a function of the Photo Persona.

MJCphoto Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Thanks Walt, I believe I'm stuck in Develop Persona. Before the latest update I would open AF and my tool bar (crop, dodge/burn, paint brush, etc.) would be visible on the left side of my screen, and my layers would be visible on the right side. I just can't find a way to get back to that. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The persona you are currently in should be the one selected on the main toolbar, usually the first item on the left of that toolbar. If you do not see that group of toolbar buttons (five buttons for AP), you can use View > Customize Toolbar to place it there, or just drag the Default set into the toolbar. You also should make sure that the context toolbar is visible. You can do that on the View menu by making sure "Show Context Toolbar" is ticked. So if you are 'stuck' in the Develop persona, click either the blue "Develop" or the "Cancel" button on the context toolbar to exit the Develop persona. Note that the Tools are in the Tools panel (identified as "Tools" in the View menu). It is not a toolbar. Also, the usual abbreviation for Affinity Photo is AP, not AF.
