Thank you so much for the info! Love you guys. You're always on top of things! 😃

I started having problems after the iOS upgraded to Monterey. Prior to the upgrade I never experienced this issue. I have a Mac mini M-1 with 8GB Ram and 256GB HD. (Drive has plenty of space on it) When I create a new brush layer, every now and then, when I press and drag the cursor to draw an area for the Brush Overlay, a red line shoots up the screen on my image and I have to Ctrl-Z to get rid of it. It will keep doing it unless I close the image without saving and then having to start completely over. It's just random and I cannot seem to figure out what is causing it. I usually only do 3 or 4 layers to do my adjustments, So I don't believe it is because of the number of layers. My workflow is basically, adjusting the shadows/highlights, then adjust WB, then start doing some layered adjustments using the Brush Overlay. Most images go just fine, then all of a sudden, one image suddenly does it. Things I do not think are causing it: Memory, space or processor. I truly believe it is in the software somewhere. I have done over 60 layers in some images for composites (Without using the overlay brush) and this has not happened. If anyone has any ideas what could cause it (From experience, not just guessing) Please let me know... I've uploaded a video showing it happening. Thank you in advance.

I find it quite odd to not include a few basic templates... In any of the Affinity software. I guess it "might"f help hold down the cost of the software, but I doubt it's that much. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE Affinity and own the entire suite, but to start out with a new product without even ONE template is a pretty poor decision...
