Under Affinity's definition, I think the fact that Faststone Image Viewer requires a work-around to launch APhoto2 is not a bug. "We define a bug as something that isn't working the way the code intends it to." Not to be too picky or pedantic, but I do think we require extreme precision in the use of words to avoid end-user B told me the other day that Hope this helps and apols if earlier lack of clarity has confused. anyway, I've done a couple of restarts and things seem to be working OK at the moment.Īs far as Walt's batch file is concerned - I can confirm it launches V2 from my desktop. I have no idea why my permissions changed overnight.
I've now regiven myself permissions and am getting V2 to invoke via DXO and ACDsee but - I have now had a couple of requests to re-enter my licence/account details. exe in that folder - even though the desktop shortcut I'd created yesterday worked fine. Since I now know where the V2 app is I went to the folder to find I didn't have permissions that I had set up yesterday - so I think I couldn't start V2 by double clicking the. Or something like that - the upshot is I couldn't invoke V2 from DXO. When I came to explore V2 this morning I tried to invoke V2 from DXO but got a message along the lines of (sorry - I've been fiddling for a couple of hours so can't remember exactly) "can't access". I started this morning by starting from the desktop shortcut I'd created yesterday. And apologies but the precise order of what I've done is lost in the mist of exploration and button presses. I'm using DXO and ACDsee and, as far as I can see, I can only invoke. After comparing the images, you can delete, modify or save your duplicate layer accordingly.This a follow up and a bit of clarification since my response to Walt has been picked up.įirstly clarification - I've not used Walt's batch file to invoke from a 3rd party application.
It’s important to experiment with the different sliders to find the best settings for your image. If you duplicate the layer before applying the Denoise Filter, you will be able to compare the filtered version with the unfiltered version and decide whether the filter has improved the image or not. The Denoise Filter works in a destructive way, meaning that you will need to make a copy of your layer before applying it if you wish to preserve the original image. Add mask on the Duplicate Layer to remove the denoise effect where needed.

Higher values will allow more fine detail through, whereas lower values will smooth fine detail and provide stronger noise reduction. Luminance Detail-adjusts the detail edge smoothing threshold.
