[Color Picker (Eyedropper in PS) for black, grey and white point in Curves Panel]

2023. 6 years has gone by. This feature is still not implemented?

[Colors too dark]

Ah, I see it now. It shows correct when I use the laptop screen, but distorts the colors when I use a second monitor. Thanks for answering so extensive!

[Colors too dark]

Affinity Photo shows colors way too dark. I discovered this when I was experimenting with pixilating paintings of old masters. The screenprint shows the same file next in Windows Photos and Affinity Photo, next to each other. The colors in the left image are really more natural than those in Affinity (I am sure  it is not Windows Photos that shows the colors wrong; I noticed this darkening in Affinity earlier on also with my bare eyes).

What is wrong? Is this a settings thing? Does the program needs some kind of calibrating?

Thanks for your great advise. I had to press my case at first forcefully (the store does not refund apps, but which is absurd, so I threw in Dutch consumer law), and ultimately I got both Affinity Foto and Designer refunded.

It's a cloud driver assistant, used at least for OneDrive. I'm not sure if it's used by other cloud functions like Google Drive or Dropbox.

But rather than mucking about in the registry, you should be able to accomplish the same using commands as I mentioned above. From a command prompt:

sc config cldflt start=disabled
sc stop cldflt

 

Tried that suggestion, and then I could start AF without BSOD. But I als had no longer access to files in my OneDrive folders, so that is definitely not an option.

The fixes that are being mentioned in the posts are not installed on my sytem (??), which is completely oup to date. So deinstalling those isnt posible, and no solution either. 

Im starting to regret buying AF and AD in de MS Store in a BlackFriday heat of the moment.

But it did for me.  So the fix is pretty basic - open regedit and look for 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\CldFlt

Change the 'Start' entry value from the default value of 2 to 4.

Reboot your computer.

Before I change values in the registry and mess up a stable system: what is the function of cldflt.sys?

Thanks for the tip, Scott! Unfortunately, that did not solve my BSOD.

The crashing point has evolved over time, initially I could not get the Designer even running. Now I get the BSOD when saving (with save as...) a file.

The Designer store app version has clearly some different code than anywhere else. Many tend to blame Microsoft's updates for the BSOD as other applications have caused BSODs after the update. But who knows... perhaps somewhere exists an open source library that Serif's developers have been using to get the Designer into the MS Store? Other parties may have used that same faulty library causing the problem.

Serif's responses on this forum have been just shrugging the problem towards Microsoft. I am still waiting for a permanent solution, either from Serif or Microsoft.

I wonder if has anyone with Surface and MS Store app purchase got the Designer up and running?

Not me. And I cannot get a refund from the MS store either. 

[cldflt.sys]

My new install of AF keeps crashing with a BSOD screen and a cldflt.sys error. Windows 10, latest updates, on a Surface Book 16 GB. If there is no solution - other than temper with OneDrive - I will have to give up on this software. Please help me out....
