Staff Andy Somerfield Posted February 8, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 8, 2017 Status: Customer Beta Purpose: Fixes Requirements: Purchased Affinity Photo (1.5.1) Mac App Store: Not Submitted Download: 1.5.2 - Beta 4 Hello everyone, This is the latest in a series of customer beta builds intended to improve the stability of the new 1.5.1 App Store version of Affinity Photo. We'll be doing these for a few weeks, then we will update the App Store version. This beta will sit alongside the App Store version and not interfere with it - although your settings will not be shared between the two versions. As this is a stability beta, it is suitable for production work and should be used in preference to the App Store version if you need any of the fixes it contains. Fixes - Numerous stability improvements and fixes. Thanks, Affinity Photo Team :ph34r: MatthewPah, Marinedge, pruus and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nana Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi Andy and Team, Thanks for this beta. However, automatic lens correction for Canon mirrorless camera such as the Canon Powershot G1X is broken again. This was fixed in 1.5.2 Beta2 but broke again in 1.5.2 Beta3 and the current beta4 as well. I really appreciate the hard work that you and your team are putting in to make this software even more awesome. Kind Regards, nana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerryy Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hello, I am writing to report there is still a problem with some of the blend modes for documents whose Color Format is set to Lab. Not all of the blend modes, but notably the 'Difference' mode does not work the same as it does when the document's Color Format is set to RGB. If it helps, I can upload screen shots. Just about all of the other blend modes work correctly -- as far as seeing a noticeable distinction when choosing those options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_mac Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Andy, I don't know if this is a bug but I just got a new 15" MacBook Pro 512 SSD with the Touch Pad. I have been seeing that when I am using the Brush Tool, Clone Tool, Inpainting Tool that the Touch Pad and the software are not co-ordinating with the Opacity setting. The Touch Pad slider is setting the opacity but it is not changing on the screen. It seems that the slider once used is setting the rules. Flow, Brush Size, etc are all working perfectly. Hope this is not a redundant post but would you please check this out. Thanks for all the great work you all are doing. anon1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafus Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I am unable to run 1.5.2 beta 4. I get the "A purchased copy of Affinity Photo must be installed to use this beta." message, and then it quits. Version 1.5.1 is installed; I get the message whether it's running or not. iMac (27 inch, late 2012), running OS X 10.12.3. I have not been able to determine whether my Library Panel problem has been solved in the beta version. This problem is copied below from the mac problems forum: I cannot view the library panel on my iMac (27 inch, late 2012), running OS X 10.12.3. That is in spite of downloading a fresh copy of Affinity Photo 1.5.1 from the App Store and following your Reset instructions posted 10 December 2016. There is a View-> Studio -> Library entry, but checking/unchecking that entry has no effect. Re-starting Affinity Photo did not help. In contrast, I can view the library panel (and install the macro pack) on my MacBook Air (13 inch, mid 2011), also running OS X 10.12.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 26, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hi dafus, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Can you please check if the Affinity Photo (Mac App Store version) is installed in the root of the Applications folder? It must be there otherwise the Beta will not find it. Thanks. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted February 27, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi Puffin, This Beta 1.5.2 (Beta 4) has expired too. So it's not supposed to work anymore. There should be another one out soon. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted February 27, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi jeffkovitz, It's a beta, sometimes it may happen. The dev team is quite busy. If you are using the software for commercial purposes you should rely on the Mac App Store version instead. In any case there will be a new version out soon.
