• macOS Photos Editing extension missing in V3

    Looks like we can no longer round trip edit RAW photos in V3 as we can in V2 and V1, surely an oversight? Reported.

  • Once you clicked "Develop" after editing your raw file you're in the "Pixel" studio. I you select the move tool you then have the options "Develop" and "Replace Image" at the top left, at right of the RAW file filename. Clicking Develop gets you back to the Develop Studio.

  • Is it a bug or have I overlooked something: the height of the pallets cannot be changed. It is not for all palettes, but for example with characters in Publisher always.

  • Some panels like Stroke (Kontur) have a fixed height, so it's locked "by design" because the resize area applies to the panel below. It seems a bit confusing at first but it follows the internal "app logic". Whether this logic is OK or flawed is debatable, of course…

  • By the way, my "workaround" is to have at least one resizable panel in each row. So I can temporarily activate it if I need to resize a panel in the row above or below.

    Thank you for the answer. This shows how good and important such a forum is. These many little things that do not work or work unusually - as well as the problem of paragraph decoration described here - make me crazy. I wanted to edit a new document in V3 today and switched back to V2 after a few minutes. There are appointments, it has to be fast and you want to concentrate on the work.

    So once again thank you very much for the answer and everyone who works here in the forum.

    I just saw that if I let plates float freely, I can also change all sizes.

  • It may have been reported already but I just reported the failure to save default tool settings. At least for clone and inpainting brushes (maybe others?) setting the layer option and brush parameters is not preserved even within the same session. Switch tools and back, they're back to default.

  • 100% reproducible bug on my MacOS Sonoma:

    If you want to add Master Pages to your existing layout document, make sure the Quick Export panel is closed.
    Else crash, at least on my MacOS Sonoma.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. create a new document
    2. add a master page – no problem
    3. open the Quick Export panel
    4. add a second master page, be it via Pages panel or from the Document→Pages menu
    5. upon confirming the Master Page dialog: crash

    Bug report submitted already.
    Can anyone confirm on different configurations?

    Hi all,

    I can confirm this issue above (by loukash) and have another one:

    the settings pop-ups right beside the pixel size fields in the batch job panel are empty:


    Can anyone confirm this?

    Edited once, last by werfox: I did not follow the instruction exactly enough to reproduce the issue that @loukash provided. After opening the Quick Export panel (I had just the Quick Export "button" open) Affinity3 crashed when adding a master page. (November 18, 2025 at 10:15 PM).

    This works OK on my Mac, except the fly-out is very tall, about 2/3 of the height of my 27" iMac screen, with a lot of wasted empty space at the top & bottom. I reported it in-app via Ask > Report a bug.

    It is likely different for Windows so you should probably report that in the same way.
