Hi Joe,
I've replied to you via your email to our support team, but i'll answer here for visibility too, essentially Canon's Raw files contain patented adjustments above standard raw definitions that cannot be read by any other software, meaning you'll have to make manual adjustments as @Old Brucedescribed above.

Could you record the whole application, it's not clear what else is going on without the context.

Hi stepfull, welcome to the forums.
Sorry to hear you having issues with stability and thanks for the logs.
Whilst we investigate things, could you try changing your renderer to "warp" as below and try running it without admin privileges to see if this improves things?
Also would it be possible to send us the log.txt from C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0\

Hi artofmtl,
Your layer stack should look something like this:
The brushes are black, so here i used an invert adjustment layer as a child of the pixel layer and used a recolour adjustment layer also as a child. For the gradient i added an FX layer gradient on the original pixel layer.
Hope this helps.

Hi Paulm,
Do you think you could record this behaviour full screen using QuickTime?

Again a problem which should be so easy to do, and IS easy to do in software like GIMP or Photoshop... but seems impossible in Affinity Designer..
I have a white background with a stripe in the middle. Everything right from the stripe should be transparent, everything left should be white. I tried using the selector brush on the right part and pressed 'Delete' but that did not work.
File in attachments, I am curious how this is done in Affinity...
I should have said, but your image is a transparent one itself, (personally i'd recreate these simple shapes with vectors) but if you really want to keep them, just draw a shape on the left hand side to cover make it opaque.
I'd also suggest when working in a vector design program when you wish to have transparency for your output, to lay an image or something in the bottom layer to toggle on/off so you know what's transparent and not.

Hi ONiel,
I think this small tutorial on how to use our dedicated Transparency Tool will give you all the info you need, I think you'll find it a pretty powerful feature.

Here are a couple other photos... the first one shows using the wand to select the empty space on a layer that has not been merged with another.
The second photo shows the same thing after merging with another layer.
I did try to selec the color of the apparently empty/transparent pixels - the color sliders jiggle a little bit, but the dropper/swatch color does not change from whatever the previous color was.
I can see fairly clearly here that those aren't empty pixels, just very low opacity. when you stack more and more layers of partially transparent pixels over each other they become more opaque. I think this is what you are noticing.

I'm not seeing this either, if you sample the "empty" space using the colour picker are you seeing any colour information?
feel free to send the file using this link if you want me to take a look: https://www.dropbox.com/request/QPW6kHoSNwktXVCJxBmH

Feel free to upload the document here: https://www.dropbox.com/request/fWkKpuMIRilA3ExNEyWi so I can take a look.

maybe I could email the working file and someone could take a quick look?
this has been racking my brain for many hours .

Hi Joe, welcome to the forum!
I think the best way to figure out if you think our software suits you is to give the free trial a go, we've got two pieces of software that could do what you need, if you are thinking of creating images that contain photos etc, maybe our Photo software would suit.
https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/ (The trial is at the bottom of the page.)
If you are thinking of making your own designs with shapes etc. then perhaps Designer would suit more.
https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/designer/
Why not try both and maybe explore the tutorial videos we have on our software located here:
https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/learn/
Hopefully you'll find something you like and ourselves and our great community here can assist you if you have any questions.

There are certainly more ways to do this, experimentation is key.

Whilst we understand your frustration, it's simply not possible to grant a second license, we cannot even verify the purchase of a first.

You can get pretty close with adjustments in raw (1st image) but as the edges are soft, you will never get them right, so then once developed you would have use the inpainting tool set to "current layer and below" on a new pixel layer and remove the edges non-destructively.
As you'll see (2nd image) there's still some desaturation on some red tiles as there's not a huge amount of colour information there so you'd have to recolour that area somewhat, even then you'd still need to patch it up a little bit as the manipulation is still pretty visible.

If you purchase via the App Store, you will have to reinstall through the App Store, there is no DMG. All the licensing is handled from within the app on this version.

It's not actually clear what you wish to achieve, could you give some screenshots with notation or a video recording of what you are attempting to do?

Hi ndev, welcome to the forums.
You can do this in publisher by going to Document > Add Pages from file.

You could use third party/online software to convert and import but as it's just a few headings, just recreate them, in all honesty anything else would take far longer.

On the left toolbar, theres's likely a "flame" icon (burn), click and hold this and look for the dodge tool, or use the keyboard shortcut "O".

Please take a look at these. As previously stated this isn't just an Affinity issue, but a general performance with OpenCL on AMD cards beyond the 5000 series across the board.
Instead of Accelerating our software it slowed it down, which is why we disable it.

Hi Brian,
I've just tested this on a few windows 10 / 1.10.5 installations of each with and without acceleration and cannot replicate the issue, it may be worth a reinstall of the software or resetting your applications settings (ctrl whilst booting the software, after backing up your personal files).
