the sad part is that .... i have no clue what was the issue, as I did restart the PC and tried again and didn't work, so restart was not an issue it seems..... I have to let it cool down 1-2 days 🤣

i tried all that .... nothing worked yesterday. " What happens when you click file > New? Do you get any errors? Lee" When i did that ... the same happened ... nothing, and the window was "not responding". Today, I tried again ... and both v1 and v2 works correctly. Unbelievable .... could be something related to windows, cache or .... i have no idea. I did not do any changes, no windows updates or other changes from yesterday. Thank you all for taking the time to answer this. Glad it's working .... but this is very annoying, I've lost many hours trying to open a god damn file. :)))

Thanks for the reply! Meanwhile i tried installing the v2 trial. I have the same issue with V2 on my Windows 11 Home. I cannot open any file or create any new file ( the window is "not responding" ). I haven't seen this issue until now.

Lately, without doing any changes .... I cannot use Affinity photo 1.x at all. I cannot open any document and I cannot create new documents. The result is "Not Responding" whatever I try to do. What I have tried: - untick the OpenCL flag in Preferences. - Restart PC - Install latest Nvidia drivers - try to delete the App data files (but I don't even have an Affinity directory .... I didn't change anything myself) - in Windows -> Installed Apps -> Affinity Photo I've tried "Reset", "Repair". The ugliest thing is that I cannot find the version 1.x to download from anywhere ... not even Microsoft Store (from where I got it, if I remember right). So, If I uninstall the app .... it's gone ? So I paid for an app that i cannot use it anymore.... Also, I've tried to login to my online account on affinity website, I have no way to download again Affinity 1 .... just to buy again Affinity 2. This is very ugly from my point of view. I only use it from time to time .... and I went Affinity especially because I didn't had to pay more than once.....

Meanwhile .... this is a photo processed with a "standard" recipe in NIK Color on a JPG directly from Fuji X100S camera. I really like the result :)

Thanks Asha. I will try them.

Thanks! I'm trying the Topaz BW, I don't like it as much as Nik ... but at least it works.

From what I understood Nik Collection is not going too well after they have been bought by google. Too bad, I liked it more than Topaz ...

Hi, I've tried the nik plugins. I followed the procedure of installation step by step and it works .... sometimes. :( But after 2-3 times, when I try to open one plugin, it opens it two times. I believe one time as a standalone and another one as a plugin .. and because of that Affinity is blocked and I only have the option to Force quit. After I'm getting into this problem, I cannot get away even with restarting of Affinity. Does anybody has this problem ? I have downloaded the plugin today .. so I believe is up to date.

Thanks barninga, I will try that also.

Hi DWright, Thanks for the reply. I actually need to adjust more of the greens that the "green" selection is adjusting. I've tried also the Select Sampled Colour and it's giving a better result, but it's a little bit trickier. It seems that this is the way after all. Does anybody knows if it's in plan to get the option in HSL to change the range of each color ?

Hi MEB, Yes , I know about that. But in most of the cases , that "greens" are only a smart part of the actual greens in the photo. In photoshop you have the ability to change the range of greens. I've tried this method on several photos and usually it's just not enough. Sometimes I used also the yellows, but you have to create a mask to be sure you are not messing up everything. I was curios if there is a fast way to do this, without a lot of masking. Best regards, Florin

About the HSL adjustment: In photoshop you have the possibility to define the range of "greens" for example, when you want to make the grass popup in the photo. In Affinity, we don't have the possibility to adjust the range of green colors. So, is there another fast and easy way to do this ? Best regards, Florin

I also need this! :)
