Yes, affinity will continually crush your computer. I can run any other program that's super intensive and it doesn't crash my computer, affinity photo will every time!! And never ask affinity photo for help because their suggestions about this issue are garbage.

Thank you.

I find this happens to me all the time without a blend mode or any transparency set. Affinity has a problem with blacks and whites. White is too translucent most of the time, and black paints gray. I have to do ridiculous things to compensate for this nonsense. * Then I find that the effects are on and affect the color of the brush on a different layer. Who knew? Now my brush is painting accurately.

This just happened to me. I went to the text menu and chose to show text wrap settings in the text menu.

Thanks, Lepr. I copied part of a pixel layer by selecting and creating a layer with that selection. There was a border/outline added to the selection that I could not edit or alter in any way. Making a new selection and placing it on a new layer gave the same result. I haven't been able to duplicate the issue upon opening a new file. I wish I could explain it better. I will post more or better information if it happens in a new project. I won't usually post examples from projects I am working on for other people. Some issues seem to be project-specific.

I am noticing more and more unexplainable bugs in Affinity Photo. I am working on a simple selection and have soft edges turned on. When I copy the selected portion to a new layer it creates a very thick border around the new layer. I can no longer make a good selection with soft edges turned on. These programs are becoming unusable.

It is a big mystery to me. I was using the move tool in version 2 using Affinity Photo where I created the file. I chose to edit in Affinity Designer because no matter what tool I selected I wasn't shown the option of converting to art text while having the text box selected. I found the same menu options in Affinity Designer. No option to convert to art text. I tried to make a screen cap but the pull-down would stay live when I activated my screen capture. I waste way too much time trying to figure out why it isn't showing. Maybe it is a Windows issue. I also always use the top drop-down layer menu.

Once again the option to convert to art text has disappeared from every one of these programs.

That is where I was checking sadly. I only checked using a right-click because I had read to do that here. Thanks for your feedback and for sharing your expertise.

Of course, now I go and check again and I have the option to convert to art text from the layers menu. I must be crazy because I checked this about 20 times and the option wasn't there.

I am using the latest version of the software. Because I won't share my private document. I will tell you my process. I created frame text and then continued working on other elements in my photo. I put some effects on my text and then wanted to convert it to artistic text. I was using Photo so I expected that was the reason I could not find that option from the drop-down layers menu was that it won't available with Photo. The text options are limited. I chose to edit in Designer and I was shown the same menu without the option to convert to artistic text. I had the same result when I chose to edit in Publisher. The only option I get when I right-click is to convert to text frame which is grayed out because it is already framed text. I am not working with a pixel layer or a vector. I am using a text frame. While writing this I am double checking to make sure that it is all accurate.

I don't see any instructions above. I guess I'm blind.

The document I created in photo would not show me that option when I chose to edit in Designer or Publisher. I knew I had used that feature before but it wasn't available to me with my document for some reason.

None of the Affinity programs convert from frame text to art text. We go mental trying to figure out the sense in this program. It is lacking so much!!!!

Thanks. My defaults were accepted and now when I open a new document it is set for my preferred working language.
