Thanks for the reply. Really? A friend of mine just put his purchased keys in and the software worked perfectly, same situation as mine. That's odd.

I have the full suite of Affinity products on my windows machine, can I just download the mac versions of them to my macbook pro and enter my details/keys or will I have to purchase again separately?

Thank you guys so much, What i didn't realise is also you have to make sure the new smoke layer adjustment is under the new pixel layer, by default it puts it above.

I'm trying to add smoke to a photo which i can no problem, and send it to screen, again no problem, the problem is i can't seem to colorize the smoke to what colour I want, I thought if you go to HSL there should be a colorize checkmark like in PS but alas there is not. Any help would be great.

Well clearly it's not a gimmick, it's a huge thing really, yes it was done ages back with a lot of time and work, but now it's a one or two click thing, it's now become the norm in most software.

I wonder if Affinity will bring in AI Sky Enhancement, it seems it's brought to the fore as the norm now.

When editing a photo "RAW" and using the clarity/contrast sliders etc, it doesn't show the transition smoothly, it does it in blocky squares does anyone else have this? Iv'e used my graphics card also warp for the rendering and does it with both.

I always do, never 3rd party places, that's what the Nvidia Experience is for, that's the program that keeps your drivers up to date.

@AiDon But why do we have to work around this if that is the problem? Most graphic drivers you have to keep updated 99% of the time to keep with 99% of games and indeed programs. I have the RTX 2060 Ultra 6gb version. And it still crashes out. How do you update drivers without the Geforce Experience? I also have version(452.06) latest version

@Callum Hi .. afraid still crashed when i went into Develop module.

@SPaceBar Hi there, crashes when opening a RAW file, the program just disappears, all graphics drivers are up to date.

@Ron P. I Get to the load screen it I load the raw file and everything just disappears, .. All graphics driver are up to date, here is the crash report e84e33db-05c1-4ac3-83df-3e9fabe4c53c.dmp

Right gents, thank you for your replies. Firstly i'd like to address, that there is a few people having the same problem as I am, with the new version crashing. When opening a RAW file, Nikon Z6 camera. It will crash before I can get to the editing stage, files are on local drive. I downloaded the new version as it prompted me to, started install, and it said was updating, all installed, then the problem occurred. So deleted it, tried a fresh install. exactly the same problem. "first what we do know is the current version is not the problem" How is it not that there's NOT a problem with the new build? when the previous was fine?

@Alfred That's cool and all, but not addressing my problem.

@emmrecs01Affiinty photo, Win 10, had no problem with the last version, worked perfectly.

I just installed ver:1.85.703 and it just crashes out whenever I try to open a photo to edit. No screen error nothing, just crashes out. Never had a problem before update.Previous version was brilliant.

I have exactly same problem, updated to 1.8.5.703, crashes as soon as I try to open a file.

These are few crash reports from ver 1.8.5.703 Is there any way to go back to previous version, I can't work like this. 4cfadab7-61ec-48f1-885c-160ea64ea008.dmp 51f85d37-3c55-47fd-86cd-44aa2da4ca52.dmp c16c08fb-4020-4f3e-b83e-633ec7319641.dmp
