I've always used the Rectangular Marquee Tool, copy to a new layer then the Move Tool to resize.
-
I get something in Windows 11 File Explorer but not in Bridge.
-
Do you have access to a real mouse to see if that's OK?
-
First thing to try might be to reset the user defaults. On a PC hold control when you start Affinity Photo.
-
Not exactly sure what you are doing. You know you can resize in centimetres and keep the pixel count high by having a high dpi?
-
As well as the resize settings there are settings in Export. What jpeg quality did you select?
Maybe post a screen shot of your resize settings and your export settings.
-
On the top left there are Mask and Selection buttons. Will they do what you want? Selection and ctrl J (on PC) or ctrl C then ctrl V?
-
Document->Resize Document lets you specify the dpi. Export should send out whatever dpi you've specified. Assuming you're on Windows, opening the png in Paint and File->Image Properties lets you check the dpi.

Apart from not enough RAM, the 512GB SSD will basically hold your apps and not a lot more. I'd get at least another 1Tb SSD as a working drive for your images. When that's full get some external drives as archives and move your images there. You should include an external drive for your back ups anyway. And a decent graphics card!
-
Are your graphics drivers up to date?

How would that help for printed material that is fully or partially created with the help of generative AI that someone then sells?
I think the concern at the moment is more for documentary photography that claims to be a true representation of the world. e.g. in news media. If a print is sold as a piece of art does it matter if some or all of it is AI generated? I believe there is already a lucrative market for AI art that is expected to grow.

There's several ways AI is used in images. The focus here seems to be on generative AI. But there is also the image quality AI for noise and sharpness that Topaz and DxO use (and Adobe) and AI masking. Personally, I can't see any image editing software surviving long without AI masks. I suspect those of us that want the image quality AI are happy to use plug ins. Topaz are also developing AI lighting and white balance so there's a lot happening in the non-generative AI space.

The main web site seems to be this
https://contentauthenticity.org/
I'm a club photographer and I think the provenance thing will happen for competitions there sooner rather than later. My club is discussing it and as most people use Photoshop there may not be much resistance.
Its in beta for Photoshop

and available in one of the recent Leica's for the documentary photographers

If Photo goes the generative AI route, then we need them to join the content authenticity initiative and editing adjustments be in the meta data. I've been led to believe Photoshop has it already.
-
I'm on a Windows PC, so Mac must be different. Could try resetting user defaults.
-
Not sure where you are looking. I have all my ICC profiles. (I actually get annoyed as as has all my monitor calibration profiles as well as some for papers I no longer use) But I don't want to convert my document to a print profile. I use my print profiles to soft proof but send an Adobe RGB or a ProPhoto file to the printer. (I don't print from Photo but it does want the printer profile).
-
If you don't have a lot of customisation you could reset Studio. Save your current set up as a Preset first if you want to come back to it.
Maybe post a screen shot if you still have problems.

Over the past year or so I've moved from Affinity Photo being my main photo editor to something I use occasionally for specialised tasks. The RAW editors are just so good these days. With the talent at Affinity and better funding from Canva I hope Photo can catch up. AI masks and scripting asap would help. Did I mention Capture One Live? Modern noise reduction and sharpening? Keystoning?

I don't get this tweet from Affinity
Aren't double negatives fun!

In the Window drop down tick Adjustment.
-
To see what is happening, set up a new account on your PC, install affinity photo on that account and see if the trouble persists. Seems a bit extreme but I've just had to do that to try and resolve problems with Capture One.
Might also be worth trying with a different mouse.

Switch the Renderer to WARP?

Do you have crash reports? Support usually want them.
