Hi Ron, I see. Thanks. I am continuing my search for a Lightroom alternative, but I do rely on tweaks after Affinity (b&w conversion, etc) but now and then like to go back into Affinity to adjust, or fix something and it's nice to see those changes ripple into Lightroom virtual copies as well. Thanks!

I will also check turning off hardware acceleration. Thanks Ashf! Vince

Hi Thomaso. I followed your suggestions and replaced the layer containing a mask screened back to 75%, and replaced it with the layer pulled back to 75% (leaving the mask at 100%). I don't know why, but that seemed to correct the problem. I also discovered that affinity will export as a PSD file. Thank you for your help! Vince

Hi Thomas I. I saved it as a tiff file with layers preserved. Do you think that may have made a difference? Lightroom doesn't read afphoto files. Thanks! Vince

I am using lightroom and Affinity together. When editing in Affinity, I added a motion blur layer and masked part of the subjecty area (see affinity screen view below) - and it looked fine. When I saved it and went back into Lightroom, the lego-like pathway of the mask was clearly noticable . I tried merging visible layers and re-saving, but it did not help. Any ideas? Thanks!
