Honestly, I am just learning how to use Affinity: I put new filled later (white) under the Tree. I Merged Visible but I don't know how to delete the white on the new pixel layer. Thanks for your response Ron L

Here is a screen shot. Still a lot of cleaning up to do but I hope you get the idea. The tree by itself is bright but as soon as the background is added it gets dark. You can see part of the red sky in the tree trunk. Where do I start looking to correct this? Everything seems to be set at 100% opacity Your help is greatly appreciated Ron L

I have two photos. One is a full view (background) and the other is a masked object (foreground). When I place the masked object over the full view photo, the full view (background) also shows through the masked object (foreground). I don't want the background to be seen running through the object on top. Is this the way it is supposed to work or am I doing something wrong? I checked the facts and didn't find any answers. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Ron L

Just downloaded the latest NVIDIA studio driver version 471.11 (created june 23) ..... changed the folder name back to its original name ...... ran Affinity Photo and all is well

I will wait ... everything works now

Would this be worth trying? Just wondering if this would fix it? I really don't want to try it without some professional advice !!

Is there another fix for this instead of changing the folder name?

This was the issue: Capture One (Windows Explorer Integration)Problem: Crash when attempting to open files (stack overflow in NVIDIA driver). Affects Capture One versions 20 and 21. Cause: Capture One's Explorer integration crashes if more than one instance is running at once Solution: Disable Windows Explorer Integration by renaming the C:\Program Files\Capture One\Capture One 20\WIC\WIC64 folder to something else. Note: If you have version 21, the directory will be C:\Program Files\Capture One\Capture One 21\WIC\WIC64. This assumes you haven't changed the default installation directory. I did that (changed the folder name in Capture One 21 ) and now it doesn't crash anymore on Win 10 ........ How can that be?

Just checked and the graphics drivers are up to date. Looked at the above Net components link and it doesn't include Win 10. Will it still work?

I do have Capture One Pro and a Lenovo motherboard... tried the beta and still crashes I do have Capture One Pro installed and the beta crashes

Here is the latest crash report and log.txt 95f2e76d-ba66-48d1-915c-0e525cfe129e.dmp Log.txt

I disabled OpenCL and it crashed before all three .ARW files loaded. I tried it again with Tone Mapping unchecked. All three files loaded fine but as soon as I clicked on tone mapping it crashed. Tried it with everything unchecked and it would'nt even load the files, It's worse with OpenCL disabled. Looks like great software and I bought it for the HDR feature and it's not working. The first time it crashed it did send a crash report Ron L

Im running Win 10 home (64 bit) i7-4770 CPU at 3.40GHz with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card I just purchased this so I do have the latest version 1.9.2.1035 I was using HDR merg with 3 .jpg files. They loaded fine and went through thr process and as soon as I touched a parameter the program just shut down. I then tried HDR merg with 3 sony .arw files and they loaded fine and went through the process and as soon as I tried a parameter the program just shut down. With the raw files I checked noise reduction, unckecked align because I used a tripod and unchecked Auto remove ghosts because I wanted the blurred effect of car tail lights. This is the first two times I ever used this program (it looks great) and it just shut down. I also gave it plenty of time to complete its cycle. Hope this is enough info Ron Lukawitski
