Thanks. Yes, I have an Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 and I've just installed the latest "best for Creatives" version of the driver.

I have 2.6.2. I'll try the 2.6.3 beta, thanks. This crash is not reproducible. Typically, after it happens and I've recovered my system, I go back to the same project, try the export again and it works. I will look, but I doubt there's a crash report because when this happens, the entire system is locked. In fact I hear the fans start to whine, indicating it's trapped in some loop at a low level. UPDATE: I checked, and there is no crash report for the most recent incident.

Sometimes, when I click the Export button on the Export dialog, I lose my whole system. Total lockup - no mouse or keyboard response, no ctrl-alt-del, no nothin'. It's gone, and I have to hold in the power button and cold-boot to recover. Of course I lose any work I was doing. Does anyone have any suggestions - other than than the usual "disable hardware acceleration" even though I just bought a new PC exactly for that purpose... 😞

Windows 11.

AP has many excellent and powerful features. This "crop preset" implementation is not one of them. I'll just enter the crop ratio by hand every time.

So, I can't make a new Preset at 7x5 that's Custom Ratio, instead of resample. Brilliant. Guys, thanks for the attempts at help. I'm walking away now.

That's greyed out too. [Sigh.]

Ok, I set the Crop to 7 x 5, Custom Ratio. But then what? I don't see a way to add this as a Preset.

I just spent 10 minutes searching for any way to create a preset. I can create a Category, which is helpfully placed at the very bottom of the list in the Manager, and does not even show up if I click the gear icon from the toolbar. And no way to create a Preset in my new Category. What the heck?

I want to change the presets for the Crop Tool: add some new ones, and delete unused categories (so I don't pick from them by mistake, and resample my photo). I select the Crop tool, click the gear icon on the toolbar, click the hamburger, and click Manage Presets. I get the Preset Manager, but all the options I want to use are disabled. Rename Preset, Delete Preset are grayed out. I click the hamburger on a category, and all the menu options are disabled except for "Import Presets" and "Restore Master Presets To Category" (whatever that means). It seems I can't do anything with the Preset Manager. Am I supposed to bring it up in some other context? Or have I done something to Presets that's broken or disabled management?

I think we can conclude that this problem is never going to be addressed.

I've made several attempts to understand the gradient tool. All have failed. I just wasted another 10 minutes trying to create a color gradient in this hellish UI. Setting the colors is either impossible, or too complicated for my simple human brain.

Plain brush, no texture, no wet edges, Normal mode. I probably won't need to revisit my 2.6 work anytime soon, so I'm just sticking with 2.5 for now.

I uninstalled 2.6, installed 2.5 and the problem is gone. But, yes, all the work I did in 2.6 is now unavailable to me. And it seems I can't have both versions installed. My fault for violating the Prime Directive: never install an update unless it has something in it you really need.

Wait - 2.6 is a "beta"? Why did I get a notice of an upgrade? I didn't really want to be a beta site.
