Does anyone have an idea whether the maximum pixel width and height has changed for V2 files? I believe it was 577,000px for 1.7/1.8?? Also, I'm interested in knowing about some of the other limitations (or capabilities if you'd like to look at it that way) that .afphoto files have... How many layers, history saves, etc. I've looked around on the internet, and the Affinity site for this info, but don't seem to have found it. If you could point me to where Serif have this info, I'd be grateful. Thanks.

I think that this is a fair requirement... Looks like AP has a ways to go yet... Will keep exploring though.

Wow! I see it now... same two layers being merged produces different results between Merge Down and Merge Visible. This is crazy. Again, it should just work... It's atrocious that you want to give 'guidance' to someone who expects something to work the way it should, and instead of seeking to have it sorted out, you're looking to find out what the user is doing wrong. This kind of thinking won't help anyone. Second, why not try a sample file that's created, and that clearly demonstrates the issue at hand? Stop being so defensive and acknowledge that there is a problem. I repeated the same process in Adobe Photoshop, and there was no discrepancy between Merge Down and Merge Visible. BTW, I'm on Windows 10, so this is not a Mac OS bug. It is common to both.

I find this discussion ludicrous. Why should this even matter? Why can't AP just sort things out and merge layers without causing blurring? If this happened in Photoshop there would be hell to pay. Don't put this on the user... Make the app easier to use. Excuses won't make a better application for the end user. It will only lose AP potential users. EDIT: That said, I've not been able to reproduce the issue in my installation.
