I always like Right-Click to get the possible options. So, if a Right-Click on the "Add Pixel Layer" had given me the option menu to select layer of any type possible it would be a little time saver, as I don't have to go up into the menu on top.

I did not even know you could drag a layer to the bin. I always use Right-Click for everything... 😀

I normally just Right Click on a layer and select Duplicate...

I just had look at your xmp file. Looks like they are from an Adobe program. As far as I know, Affinity Photo dont make xmp files. <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/"> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="" xmlns:xmp="http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/"> <xmp:Label></xmp:Label> <xmp:Rating>5</xmp:Rating> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF> </x:xmpmeta>

Even if Affinity recommends MSIX version I still prefer to use the MSI/EXE, because I export to Affinity Photo from other applications. If you use the MSIX version you have to make a separate .bat file and export to that.

Thank you! That must be the explanation for the double listing.

When I open Installed Apps on my Windows PC it lists Affinity Photo two times. Can I be safe and delete one of them? It's a bit strange that both has very recent dates.... One with version number, one without as you can see in the photo. Help or suggestions are very welcome! Torstein

I develop all my Photos in DxO PL8. You can simply see the difference in less noise in high ISO shots, better highlight recovery and a lot more details. Of course, it would have been nice to have that in Affinity Photo so you only would have to work in one program. But to be honest, it's not much bother or extra work to send the photos I develop in PL to AP.

I cannot guaranty that it will help. I just downloaded the studio drivers for my Card at Nvidia if I remember right. These drivers are not made for ultimate game speed, but for stability and work use with apps like Affinity Photo etc.

I believe NVIDIA have a driver problem this days. I had problems with another program (DxO Photolab 😎 that made my PC hang and needed to restart the machine. All problems was solved when I switched to the older studio drivers for my card.

I must be lucky then; I have not experienced any of these bugs. I only use the Photo app, so that may be the explanation. No artifacts or flickering using multiple layers. (I normally dont have more than 15 layers in photo files.) I just exported to a transparent PNG file and had no problem. It worked just as it should. As I only use Affinity Photo the Renaming of Layers dont affect me, I guess.

Too me AP 2.6 seems to work just fine. What are the bugs and broken functions in Affinity Photo 2.6

I had a major crash and had to restart PC after crash on export from the last beta version of Photo. I'm not sure where to find the logs but can supply them if anyone is interested.

I dont have any problems with Affinity Photo, the only Affinity software i actually use. I find most of the functions I need, but I use another RAW developer and organizer for my photos I just wanted to suggest an improvement for a function that could be a lot better. What I have a problem with is the strong language in attack or defence in this forum. People may find my suggestion great or stupid, but I feel this forum would be better if we all can behave somewhat friendlier. Have a nice day!

I feel the replies are aggressive I don't see the need for me to switch from an application I love and use every day, just because I find that feel something could be added that I would find useful. So what's your real problem?
