Sorry, I don’t understand “Please start resmon app, and use the disk io tab to show which files get written to C drive (sort by bytes written, higher numbers at top)”. Please explain

No, I edit one raw file at a time, export as jpg, then close the affinity file before opening the next raw file.

I am not sure what you need to know. I am processing and editing a large number of raw holiday photos ready to make a photo book. In one session I process maybe 30 raw files and save as jpgs. I have done this for a year using Affinity photo v1 and Topaz denoise with no problem. Since I have used v2, with Topaz ai as a plug-in, my PC crashes as described above.

Hi is this not a problem for everyone? is it not something that Affinity needs to address? if so, how do we raise it?

thanks, Carl, I will look

Hi, I have been using v1 with Topaz plug-ins with no problem. Trialing v2 as I needed it to use latest Topaz ai with remove tool. Now my c drive goes from 56GB down to 1GB while editing and then crashes. When I restart PC I get my 56GB back. Please advise.

Hi, I have a question related to this. I use Affinity 2 with Topaz plug-ins on Windows 10. I have 56GB free space on my c drive when Affinity Photo is closed. while working on photos this is used up and I get a warning sign that I only have 1GB. I am not very technically minded, so please explain in layman's terms how I can resolve this.

Hi, I just had the same issue, exporting to jpg. Your solution worked perfectly. Thank you.

thank you, all sorted

I have lost the quick access tool bar on Develop persona. How do I recover it? View>show tool bar - was unticked, clicked on it and problem solved

Hi Aad, Thank you for your replies. It appears from your responses that it is not intended that one should work on the snapshots, but that one should work on the .tiff That was not clear to me, as in previous examples one has worked on the resource listed in the pink box at the top. I can see now that the snapshots are for comparison, not to be worked on. I have just done the mam_tor exercise again and got the desired results as per the .aphoto snapshots. Now I understand, I will continue with the Work Book. Thank you for your guidance.

I have downloaded the resources. I have set up the snapshots. I have followed all exercises in chapters 1 & 2. Problems start when opening the snapshots. On page 146, I restored the snapshot 02. I clicked on the curves layer. I followed the instructions re a new black & white adjustment layer. it does not look like the example image in the book. Do you have to turn off the black & white layer already there, in order to follow the exercise? If so, it doesn't say that in the book, so am I going to have these problems with the book from now on? as in, does it get sloppy from here because it is not written by same person? that would be very disappointing.
