WorthIt

Thanks, Walt. I did this shortly after (I should have before) posting; sorry AF forum mod's! I disabled the Nahimic processes at start-up in 'Services' in W10 64bit and have just done a reboot; it appears not to have reloaded (thankfully!). Just launched A.F and the UI is intact with no issues.

This is getting genuinely impossible! I've tried a few things to solve the problem with absolutely no luck. See attached screenshot. I'd be using the application and as I'm using it two things can happen. Either (and/or): 1). Various buttons completely disappear as I mouse over them while moving the mouse around the UI (not even clicking anything). 2). The whole UI (or what really seems like 99% of it) just disappears or massively goes do-do on me and I have to restart the application to resume work (often losing work because I can't see or reactivate the 'File>Save/Save As buttons, in fact often ANY buttons at all!). I have tried: Reinstalling the application with a clean install. Outcome = no effect, issues persist. Disabling in Nvidia Experience the auto scan for new games and applications (inc' auto optimisation). ****ing Nvidia! Outcome = no effect, issues persist. Installing earlier versions of Affinity Photo (back 2 versions from latest [1.10.0.1127]. Outcome = no effect, issues persist. Installing the latest Nvidia display drivers. Outcome = no effect, issues persist. Changing the amount of RAM the application can use, from a mere 3Gb to a whopping 10Gb. I have 64Gb of 3200 DDR4 Ram in my rig (it's a workstation / gaming rig). Outcome = no effect, issues persist. In case anyone's wondering, my 3D graphics settings aren't set for Affinity Photo like many other programs. Is this something I should or conversely, should not allow? Would having it on, help, or might it have no effect or at worst could it make the problem worse? What gives?! Is anyone else experiencing this persistent headache?! Do please show us your screenshots of your UI disappearing if you have, thanks and let's try to get this b****y problem sorted! Thanks. Here hoping it can be solved, soon because I'm beginning to lose my marbles here!

So I was browsing my hard-drive last week and came across some old race helmets designs I'd created way back in 2012. The 1st design below won a monthly award on racedepartment.com, the 3rd won praise from Rage Designs last week, SOOO, I decided to make some more. The first new designs I created this week (after some test/practice creations) were the The Colombians. I like the colours here but the finish isn't quite right. A few days later I cracked on and made The Spaniard design. Nice colours but the design doesn't QUITE work, (I don't think so anyway), but over-all I really like it nonetheless. 💪 Then yesterday/today I created an alternative design based on Robert Kubica's helmets. Tonight, I just finished this Italian inspired design. Not for any one racer per se but just as a general theme. *Below. I'll be creating more designs over the next few weeks. Be sure to follow me on Twitter if you like what you see and remember to tell anyone you know who's into motorsport (2 wheels or 4,. or 3 even!). 😎 I'd be happy to hear from anyone who might also want a custom design for a lid. Message me! Thanks Affinity Photo! Great software! Hands down a better value investment than the other well known image editor!

It doesn't exist in A.P, it should (IMHO). Though as carl123 said, there's a Snapshot feature.

Note the use of the word: "Old". Image>Duplicate is the best way to get an immediate working copy IMHO. Why do: Save-As, then open it next to the original? Again, that's a slow way to do it, especially if your rig (PC in my case) is slow and decrepit (10yrs old at the time of typing this).

Hi folks, I did a search for this and couldn't find anything directly related, so,.. I hope it's not been covered though, I'm sorry if it has. I'm almost at the end of my trial on A.P and was wondering why there's no (apparent) direct way to duplicate what it is you're working on - by that I mean a straight forward: Image>Duplicate so you can quickly have 2 copies of what it is you want, side by side (tabs). I know it's possible to select, copy then create 'New From Clipboard', but that's somewhat slow and inefficient, no? In Photoshop IIRC, it's possible to create an exact and ready-to-use copy of what it is you wanted to copy, but this seems not possible in A.P. Can this be implemented in a future update?
