Thanks for your help. Re the UX, I did try to multi select LUTS for export but of course it did not work, hence my need to ask here. Geoff

I am at a loss, I can't seem to find a way to make a collection of LUTS grouped together as an .afluts file. Thanks

In a word, yes. You will have to install the msi version of the software to make it all work now and into the future The msix install path for the photo.exe file will change each time there is a new version. Given that you will have to set up all your shortcuts again after each updrade. I initially had the msix installer but changed to the msi version when it became available for this reason. I use a different XP Pentablet (Deco 01) but the application software is the same.

Yes it's a desktop so I don't have to care about battery power. Win10 Home probably defaults to conserve power on a laptop so that's one option to try. When I was working and had a laptop for work (3D MCad modelling) we changed the power settings from the default and also ran off docking stations. My files are all on internal drives. I don't process large TIFF files regularly as my camera files are either raw or jpg. The TIFF files I worked on recently are from my scanner and can vary from 12 to 100 Mb . However when I'm editing I'll often have multiple Afphoto files of anything from 20 to 40 mb file size each open simultaneously without any problems

I have been following this thread with interest as my PC has had affinity photo since 1.5 and has absolutely no problems with any amount of temp files. My autosave folder which I had never looked at until this discussion came up has a total of 11 files 645mb since 2019. My PC is AMD Phenom2 4 core with 12 GB Ram, Win 10 Pro and multiple internal 1TB drives so its nothing special and getting a bit old now. In general photo editing I rarely get crashes. I have not changed any of the defaults in the options either. This sounds like an issue that may not be directly related to the program, rather the machine configuration/specification causing multiple crashes. Geoff

A more information would be helpful in helping resolve this. Which program are you using and what file format are you working in? Generally if you save in an Affinity native format file you can go back make edits. Geoff

I can confirm that Google version of Nik is compatible and operable with APV2. I have both versions of AP and it works with both. I'm running W10 Pro. Geoff

I can recommend the Affnity launch exe that's available. I used it to successfully get xnview mp to work with V2 Photo.

I'm seeking user feedback on this tablet. Could anyone who has one on Windows please tell me how well the wheel/trackpad works in AP. I currently have a small Wacom tablet and am looking to upgrade as I have about 400 slide copies to process and would like an easier way to pan and zoom than using the space bar and pen buttons. Ideally I would like to be able to transparently pan and zoom with my left hand. Thanks Geoff

Hello Wayne Just do search on "convert colour negative film to postive" You will get lots of videos and methods you can use depending on which software you have or want to use. Negative lab Pro is very good software for doing conversions and if you have a mix of scan files that have been scanned from various film stocks it maybe worthwhile. If you want to try a free option there is Darktable which has a negative conversion module which is quiet effective. The tools within Affinty Photo are not very good without a lot of work. I got a good result on my first try in Darktable after not getting anything close in Affinity. Geoff

On Win 10 system everything up to filters goes right, then it goes left ,mostly View/studio goes right, View/studio present goes left. Tested on 1.10 beta. As far as I recall its always been this way. It seems to be an Affinity quirk as the other programs I have tested all go to the right.

Just some further input. If I open an image file, float the window and then resize I can do it till I get bored without the problem occurring in either version of the software as in my previous post. I then created new documents in several different formats and could not repeat the problem. Closed and restarted and still no problems. Oh the joy of tracking down intermittent problems!

I tried to replicate this and at first with a mouse it did not show, however if I drag vigorously for a few seconds it started. I tried on both 1.9.2.1035 and 1.10.0.1127 Beta (Win 10) and had similar results. If I just did a single drag to size the problem was not apparent. As my system is older and a lower spec (AMD Phenom 965, 12 GB ram and Radeon HD 6800) , than yours it would not seem to be hardware/ driver related.

Hello Wolf The retouched versions looks good. A mentioned by dannyg9 my first thought were also of Rothko. Geoff

Nice composition. Just a comment though, I find the 4 light patches in the upper section tend to draw my eye away from the main part of the composition. The similar ones in the lower portion are a more subdued tone and blend in. Only some personal composition thoughts, feel free to ignore them. Geoff
