[AP crashing a lot (high dedicated GPU memory usage]

So I am working in composing a photo with more than 30 layers, and I need MORE! My dedicated GPU memory usage sky rockets in matter of minutes after I start working on this photo and AP crashes. Does anyone have a solution how to minimize my GPU usage?

I have:

Radeon RX580 with 8GB

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor with 3.59 GHz

16GB RAM

Thanks.

Generally one doesn't Open those files manually. The application will prompt to open them when you restart it after a crash, either:

• when you start the application, if you were working on files that had never been saved and given a name; or
• when you specifically re-Open a named/saved file you were working on during the crash.

Usually when AP crashes it automatically open autosaved file when you start the program again, but this time for me that is not the case. I am editing a photo that is using a lot of my GPU memory, so when it crashes, I think my graphic card is the problem, AP is not opening that file automatically I have to do it manually as Eddy have said. Does anyone know how to lower my GPU usage? I have never had a problem like this, I will try to flatten some of my cca 30 layers, but does anyone have a suggestion?

The original problem was that I'd closed a drawing inadvertently without saving it and was trying to recover it.

My second problem was that when I double clicked on one of the autosave files, I hadn't realised that the default programme for opening it wasn't set to Designer. Changing the default programme to Designer allows me to open autosaved files with a double click.

I was unsuccessful in retrieving the file since it requires it to be saved in the first place - something I hadn't done.

Dude, you saved me 6 hours of work! Stupid me for not saving manually.

My thoughts STAY AWAY from Freepik! They are REEAAALY shady!!! They are cheap, but they don't pay to their contributors, they started by gaining customers by giving away free photos that they found on Warez and other shady websites and that's it. 
Be REAYLLY careful with Freepik, they are NOT trustworthy!

[72 dpi default size?]

So, am I doing something wrong, or is the default dpi when the CR.3 file is developed 72???

This is also a feature suggestion area, correct?

If so, I would also like to suggest getting Select Subject; it comes in quite handy and helps to get a good starting selection. @MEB

Yup, and also overall presets in the Develop mode would be very useful.

Ok, thanks Bruce,

Select subject is the AI feature from PS that is automatically selecting the subject in the picture. Really really useful asset.

Select subject is the feature that is really missing from AP.

[Presets in the Develop mode]

Hi everyone, so in the DEVELOP mode, is there a way to make a preset for ALL the setting we have made? Not just for every tab, BASIC, LENS, DETAIL...but all of them, so our editing process will be shorter? 
So, is there a way to make some kind of a overall preset before we start editing our images.
Thanks

[Photo organizer]

Are there any product that works similar to Adobe Bridge, so a photo organizer that works with Affinity Photo?
