delpi767 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 When I watch video training, I note that the dialogs on the Mac are different from those on Windows. Would it be possible to post a list of the differences and an explanation as to why? Thanks, -dmd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you provide some examples of the differences you've noticed so far, and a pointer to the videos you're watching?

R C-R Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I don't know of any such list but the most common reason for why they are different is because the Mac OS & Windows OS provide different ways of doing the same or very nearly the same thing. Macs also provide built-in support for a few features that Windows PCs do not, like the Media Browser, the Apple Color Picker, & System Color palettes.

delpi767 Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Walt, Here is the example I remember offhand. The Levels dialog in Windows has Output White Level and Output Black Level sliders which are absent in the Mac version. This from Udemy Affinity Photo: Solid foundations video 11 (done on a Mac) Getting the Dark and Light Right, Part 1. I've also seen some disparity in the Affinity Revolution videos but I don't recall them specifically. In the future I'll document all such discrepancies.
