Hello, I am new to affinity, and seem to be having a lot of issues with it crashing. It happens when I am working on photos, and also if I just have it open in the background while I'm doing other stuff on my computer, simple stuff like browsing the web. Seems pretty unstable and I am having buyers remorse. Any help out there would be greatly appreciated. Running on Win 10x64 with plenty of ram (32gb) and nvidia geforce gtx 1050 if that helps at all. Thanks!

It would definitely be nice to have the option!

Hey there! I know you guys probably get tired of hearing people say "make this more like photoshop" 😅 I'm a long time photoshop user and I find it quite distracting and far too much to have those things show up in the history panel. If I'm turning layers on and off and on and off a lot, it adds a lot of unnecessary steps in my history, photoshop does not do this, it would be awesome if we could have the option to have those in the history tab or not, as well as say "Clear selection". I just don't find those things necessary for workflow! Thanks for listening!

I see, my keyboard does not have alt gr that is why I was confused! Anyways, I have attached a screen recording. You will see in the recording that I clicked the little "x" on the box of refine edges to clear the shortcut, and then tried to put the shortcut in for another function but it doesn't let me, I press ctrl+alt then try to press R and the whole things just disappears... You can see me trying to add ctrl+alt+R several times in both boxes. Then I hit the reset button to repopulate the box. 27.06.2024_23.52.58_REC.mp4

Thank you for getting back to me quickly! When I am trying to use it, I am on the pixel layer and I am trying it before I have made the mask (in quick mask) and after I have made the mask?.. I even went into my shortcuts in the settings to verify that it is correct for refine selection, and even reset all of the shortcuts. I tried the ctrl and alt buttons on both sides of my keyboard too. I know they are working because it works with other shortcuts and in other programs. I'm sorry I can't think of any other shortcuts right now I was messing around with it too. But if I come across some more I can come back here! Do I need to have "apply to all" or "ignore modifier" checked? I even went in, deleted the shortcut for refine selection, then tried to reassign ctrl+alt+R to another function and it wouldn't let me... I hope all this helps!

I have noticed that some of my keyboard shortcuts aren't working either, I can't remember all of them at the moment, but currently as posting this the ctrl+alt+R is not working to refine a selection/ pixel mask. Using the mouse to double click on everything that I need all the time doesn't make for a speedy work flow you know? Thanks!

Hello thanks for getting back to me! I guess I'm not sure what the difference is between a pixel mask and a regular mask? I'm used to working in Photoshop where if I hit the "/" button it shows me the mask as transparent red, like the quick mask in affinity, so that I am able to see where I am working. I am looking to do the same thing in affinity. When I hold down alt and click on the mask, it just shows me the mask. I would like to be able to work with the transparent type mask so that I can see the mask and the image. Thanks for your help!

Hello! I am having trouble with this quick mask, I am making out a selection because I am combining two different layers, yet when I select the quick mask to see what I am doing, the whole thing is red but I have clearly masked part of one of the images out. I have attached the screen shots, but I would like to be able to see where I have masked out without having to turn a bunch of layers on and off to see my mask when pushing the Q button should display what my mask looks like. I hope that is making sense.
