Windows 10, updated to latest version.

Hi, Ever since I updated my Affinity photo to the latest version, problems do not seem to stop appearing. Initially all macros vanished. Followed by repeated crashes. After crash when I relaunch the program, all my work done before crash would have lost forever and program would go to it's default state. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times, but to no avail. Now, I cannot flatten the layers. 'Flatten" command and keyboard shortcut doesn't seem to work. How do I save my work now?

Thank you so much.

Yes, I purchased from Serif and I use Windows 10 with latest update.

I shouldn't have updated this time. Not only I lost all my collection of macros, I can't save them anymore. Everytime I start the application, I find only the default macros and nothing I made in the last session. Can I go back to earlier version?

Thank you very much Walt.

I recently upgraded to 1.8.5 version, and found that all my macros created over last few months are lost. Very frustrating.

I will try the same image again and save it with layers, and get back to you. Thanks for your support. Regards, Jitendra

Seems impossible. It was the stack of 25 images, and each image was a 50 mp file from Canon 5Ds. After merging I saved it in the jpeg format. I don't see a way to find .afphoto file.

I have uploaded both the images.

This suggestion looks useful. I will try both methods of merging layers and see. Thank you very much.

Hi, I noticed a peculier behavior here. After merging the layers the contrast is reducing, it is more noticeable in the central area. Please go through the screenshots and let me know if I am doing anything wrong.

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. However, I have not applied any feathering. I checked again, but no, no feathering applied. Regards, Jitendra

Hi, In a monochromatic image, I was trying to apply selection to the mask and then use gradient mask. I was expecting sharp edges of the selection, but when I inspected the mask by pressing 'alt', I saw that the edges of the mask were quite fuzzy, as if applied blur. This is not what I want. Could it be possible that some blur is applied to the selection by default? If it is so, how to avoid it? I have latest version of Affinity Photo and I use Windows 10. Your help will be immensely useful for me, Thanking in anticipation. Regards, Jitendra

Thanks for the suggestion Chris B. I will certainly try and let you know. Regards, Jitendra

Thanks for the answer chris B. I use mediaum thumbnails.

Hi, I am very satisfied with Affinity Photo and I have stopped using other softwares. However, I am facing two problems quite often. 1) While using Levels and Curves adjustment layers, many times I do not see the histogram in the adjustment window. 2) Many a times, layer thumbnails remain grey and do not show the small pixel image, also mask thumbnail also remains grey and it becomes impossible to know if the mask is white or black, and I have to check by pressing Alt + click on thumbnail. please help. Regards, Jitendra

Thanks for this ...working nicely.

Thanks for nice brushes..

No shortcut. I found the solution in the answers above. Thanks for the help..

Thank you very much for help.

Thanks friend, it is working......

Hi Sean P, Thanks for the reply. I understand the concept of resizing. My problem is that I cannot view the image at 100 percent size for noise reduction by pressing "alt-control-0". I can see it 100 percent by pressing 'control-+', but not by the other method of using alt-control-0. It is minor problem, I just notified. Regards,

Thank you very much. I will recheck everything. You people are very helpful.
