[Make the HEX color input available on all types of colors]

I would like to second this.

Being able to copy/paste hex codes from any of the color selection dialogues would be super helpful. I know there are other ways of accomplishing the same thing, but copy/pasting a hex code is the simplest and most intuitive way when you just need to match a color quickly. Plus it'd be nice to only have one RGB option, since "RGB hex" would be unnecessary.

Hi @Ray Weeks and Welcome to the Forums,

Could you try disabling openCL and see that resolves your crashing issue?

@willcarterCan you also try the same and let me know the results.

Yeah, that seems to have solved the issue.

[Affinity Photo Crashing]

I'm also experiencing some severe stability issues with Photo 1.10 that weren't there in 1.9. Designer and Publisher seem to also be fine as far as I can tell, though I haven't used Designer much since 1.10, so I'm not 100% sure on that one.

I've specifically experienced severe slow-downs when resizing/resampling images and merging multiple layers, to the point where it makes the music I'm listening to start to stutter, which never happened before 1.10 (I'm on a gaming computer, so I don't think hardware resources are the problem). Also one time when I was trying to work with several layers to stitch together multiple images, the drag-to-move function on the move tool just stopped working altogether and I had to restart Photo. I'm considering trying to roll back to 1.9 for Photo until the next update or something.

[Shadows/Highlights filter functionality in adjustment layer]

The Shadows/Highlights filter has the "Shadow Range" and "Highlight Range" sliders, which are really useful and powerful, but the Shadows/Highlights adjustment and the Shadows/Highlights section of the Develop persona do not have these sliders. I would love to have access to those sliders in both of those other places, as I think they are very limited in their usefulness without the range sliders. I know you can use the blend options in the adjustment version to effectively do the same thing, but I think it would be nice and way more learner-friendly to just have a simple slider too.
