  1. No, I haven't tried yet with hardware acceleration turned off, but will do so soon. I've found that if I just open an image in the main program window on the laptop, and then temporarily add virtually every adjustment that I ever use, while the control sliders also stay over the program on the laptop, that they will stay there from then on, even after I move the image to the accessory monitor. I'll need to adjust to looking back and forth from the sliders on the laptop to the image on the monitor as I adjust them, but at least it seems to work now. After I finish a couple of projects I've been waiting to edit, I'll go back and try it with hardware accel turned off and see if that fixes things. Thanks a lot, Richard! -Dave
  2. It's interesting what happened. After I dragged the duplicated/floated window over to the monitor and tried to add a live filter, it immediately disappeared like it has been doing. When I dragged that window back over to the inside of the program however, I saw that the adjustment controls for that live filter were sitting behind that image window on the monitor, instead of in front of the image.
  3. Thank you for the suggestions! I did the first one, but still had the issue. I did find out something else though. I work with the program on my laptop screen, while the image being worked on is on a secondary color-calibrated monitor. If I drag the image window back into the program on the laptop, then the adjustments work again, and don't immediately disappear.
  4. I've used Affinity Photo for about 3 years, and recently upgraded my computer specifically for photo/video editing to an AMD-based Lenovo Legion 7 running Win11. I installed Affinity Photo V2.0 and it seemed to work fine at first. After just a few times, it now no longer will let me make any edits to my images. I can open an image, and do RAW conversion, but when I try to make any adjustments or live filters, such as brightness/contrast, HSL, sharpening, etc. the controls/sliders for that adjustment flicker on for a fraction of a second, but then disappear, and won't let me make the adjustments. If I click on the icon for those adjustments I've tried to make which then show up in the layer panel, the same thing happens - the control sliders flicker on for about 1/4 second, and then disappear again. I can't recall if this started happening immediately after I updated to V2.1 or not, but possibly. Any idea what is happening, and how I can fix this? Hoping not to have to go back to Lightroom...
  5. I've installed the new driver, and tried my image project in Affinity again, and it crashed as before, but after rebooting the machine, I could complete it for the first time in a dozen tries! Hopefully this has taken care of it, but I'll post again if it continues to happen. Lem3 and Walt, thanks a bunch! I really appreciate the help. -Dave
  6. Affinity seemed fairly stable when I first installed it on this computer (Asus ROG Stryx), but has progressively gotten worse and worse, often freezing or just shutting down and disappearing and needing restart very soon after starting to process even simple images. It initially got a bit more stable if I rebooted the computer, but even then, after processing single image, when I closed the completed image and then tried to open a 2nd one to start working on, the program would crash again. I've searched online and tried many of the 'remedies' I've seen, such as turning off hardware acceleration, opening in Windows 8 compatibility mode, closing all other programs, looking through the list of other programs with compatibility issues, resetting the Studio, making sure I had latest version of my OS, drivers, and Affinity Photo, etc. Nothing has helped. Now after opening an image (RAW or already processed), it will crash with doing virtually anything, such as trying to drag or resize a window, make any adjustment, etc. I'm getting so frustrated with it that I'm considering going back to Photoshop Anything else left to try?
