@Katiestephoto Please upload a screenshot of your Preferences > Performance settings

The first word in the Resource Manager for the highlighted file's folder location is Dropbox. Which could also be the issue.

Your file opens on screen for me in 44 Seconds, with a further 105 seconds until Task Manager's CPU settles to normal Although I can open your file relatively quickly, if I create a new one page document and try to import (Add pages from file option) just 2 pages from your file it takes over 10 minutes - so something is wrong somewhere! You have 95 master pages with most being "attached" to another master page, which may be the underlying cause of the issues I tried for about an hour to see what is going on but my brain started to have suicidal thoughts. So, I'm out! Hopefully someone else can assist you further

I believe so There have been a few other reports with images getting mixed up

First thing you can try is to turn off (if enabled) Hardware Acceleration in... Edit > Preferences > Performance

Dragging any highlighted text into an Affinity document will create a text frame with that text in it Try it with something like Notepad and you will see what is happening

This simple GIF from PixelPest may help

Follow these instructions to migrate your content now and then see if the brushes are there

If it is just brushes you are trying to install you would install and find them in the (pixel) Brushes panel in Designer and/or APhoto Do you have those apps?

If I want sharp website images for display on mobile phones, I will frequently use larger images (e.g. 2 x the size) and scale them with CSS It does not hurt SEO or page speed. Don't get bogged down with page speed, your designs will suffer if you do. Page speed is just one (small) Google metric. The content of your website is a far greater metric

With Auto Detect switched on Remove Lens Vignette is set to 100% in the RAW lens tab. Switching this to off or reducing it "cures" the problem Still something wrong compared to V1 though

Changing the dynamics of a brush, such as size jitter to 100% and set to pressure, could cause the above to occur.

Use something like the Pie Tool with the same dimensions as the circle then superimposed that on top the circle You can adjust both angles on the pie tool (in the context toolbar) and then add text to that

Assuming the layer stack always contains the same (small?) number of layers you can use a macro to do that Are those images separate files? If so File > New Batch Job utilising the above macro will work Maybe you can upload a sample file you need to reverse so we can better understand your requirements

Macros cannot record saves or exports But File > New Batch Job has the option "Save into Original Location" So, you could process your already saved APhoto files to create JPG versions in the same folder File > New Batch Job supports File filtering for the source files (e.g. *.afphoto) and will process sub-folders. So, if your APhoto documents are all accessible within/beneath a top-level folder structure you will only need to run one batch job to process all your APhoto documents

Layer > Unlock all

Select > Select All Layer > Ungroup All Use the Move tool to Marquee select all objects on the canvas. The total number of objects will be displayed. (Excludes adjustment layers in the total)

When you save a macro, you will find it in the Library panel

Good news I was able to recreate the runaway memory issue by switching on Hardware Acceleration on my PC, so hopefully the Devs will be able to recreate it and resolve it in a future update (Windows 11 - APhoto 2.0.3)

Reset all the settings in one click Click then Drag History Slider back to beginning or load initial Snapshot if you have not exited the Develop persona as yet. Alternatively reload the original Raw file Copy/paste adjustments to another RAW file Probably a few ways to do this... 1. Develop one image (as Linked or Embedded output) then with the Move tool selected and the RAW layer selected you have the option to Replace Image in the context toolbar. Replacing the image will apply the same Raw settings to the replacement image 2. Use presets in the Develop persona 3. Batch process the Raw files A persona to sort the RAW files by adding the possibility to apply stars or to labeled it, like a Lightroom in fact. Sorry, I dont have Lightroom so dont know what you mean

Edit > Preferences > Performance Switch off Hardware Acceleration if enabled It does weird things sometimes If not that, someone else may be able to advise further

Or... "Text on a Path"

I followed the instructions in your attached document but not seeing any issue here (Windows 11 - APhoto 2.0.3) My memory usage remains constant in Task Manager between 650MB and 690MB, no matter how many times I copy/paste or drag the "Building" layer around What version of Windows and APhoto are you using?

If you mean V2's ability to retweak previous Develop Persona settings on RAW files then no this is not possible for other layer types. Develop persona settings for pixel layers (etc) are hardcoded into the layer

@snackdaddygaming You can upload the full document to the forum or at least a cut-down version that still shows the issue
