I fixed this with my drawing on the desktop version, and can't seem to replicate it easily, unless assuming there are big areas of pixels on the layer. Maybe it has something to do with memory, but it is deleting huge amounts of content, so I started to use the app casually less and less. Just because this is not something heard about before, it happened several times to me. In the attached image, I the the lower right part, you can see that there are 4 bands extending outside of the land area. Those banded areas in the bottom right were there before updates, but. you can see in the top image that they were erased as I zoomed in and drew within the circle area

This is a bad example, but I don't want to spend time trying to create a similar scenario. I annotated this to try to make it more understandable.

Yes, thanks... Maybe if I did to a clean reinstall of AP on my iPad it would be good. I need to clean out some old files anyways. I've done force reset for other reasons.

I use an iPad 2018 256GB, current version of Affinity Photo

When drawing in Affinity Photo iPad and zoomed in real close, when I zoom out, the rest of the content on that layer has been erased. So it basically just saves the content that is in the zoomed mode. This has made it almost impossible to use as I have to keep drawing work over again, or do it on the Mac. I lose a lot of content. I've had to make multiple duplicates of a layer to make sure the content doesn't get erased. But it is burdensome so I've stopped drawing for the time being. Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks..

I've had an issue where my Photo files were getting corrupt on desktop. I share them between iOS and desktop. But, now I have a corruption with Affinity Publisher. Because I don't work on the Publisher file on iOS, there isn't a copy of this file that corrupted. Have you seen an issue with this?

@MEB Here is another issue "corrupt file" that happened with Affinity Publisher to me today. This has happened a few times now between Photo and Publisher.

Thanks @MEB. I use only iCloud. So I mainly use the iPad version of Photo. Then I'll put graphics on top of the file on the desktop version. This time, I was just finalizing with some last minute updates, and I closed the file, then opened again to do something I forgot and it gave me the "failed to load".

But, I have often worked with iCloud and shared a file between iOS and MacOS versions of Photo. Is this causing an error?

Thanks I uploaded it

yes it was on iCloud. I downloaded it from the iOS version, that is why it was in the iCloud folder on my Mac. Usually working from there hasn't been an issue, but it was one time. Can you send me the private link? Much appreciated!

Dear Affinity, I was just using a file and closed it. Then I wanted to make one more change and opened again, it gave me the attached message. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. This is the second time this has happened. Do you know how I can fix this file? Thanks, Josh

When I downloaded, I was able to go Import from Cloud and then it opened with no problem. It seemed apple made an update with Files, and that might have been the issue.

I was finally able to open the document, and one of the following might have allowed me to do it: 1. I rebooted my iPad - no brainer, but I'm not sure this worked 2. I actually opened the main Files app and I was able to download from there. I would try both options.

It seems like an issue with the Files app. I can't open a .afphoto file between MacOS and iPadOS also. I had not issue before.
