The crash happened when I was coloring parts of a logo with the brush and the wacom tablet. The flickering: It mostly happened when I was coloring. Last time I was using a brush and just using the Wacom to color a part. But it never ever happens like the first 30 minutes or so. Always after a while. I had this issue on nearly everything I made. Always after a while working on it. Zooming helps for 10 seconds then it starts again. I always need to save, quit the program, restart. But then it happens pretty quickly again most of the time. Sometimes a minute later sometimes 10 minutes later. I just make things in my spare time so I haven't made loads of things. Like 3 logo's and 2 vector images I guess. Drawing vector lines and coloring is the most I do. No complicated stuff. Pen/brush/color wheel/ adjusting line thickness/layers.../moving and grouping layers/node tool I have emailed my mac shop and told the whole thing and the video. They have never seen this before on a mac. Also, because this only happens in Affinity and it's a pretty strong mac they are pretty sure it's the software. A program like this shouldn't give any problems at all with this set-up. Nor have they seen things like this happening on a slower mac with graphic software. So I hope you can help me, just bought the book and look forward to learn more. But it's pretty annoying when it happens. I'll try to remember in the future what exactly I am doing when it happens.

bummer, updated, happens again after about 40 mins tried separated screens, happens again. Took a video, emailed the shop where my brand new superstrong, expensive imac comes from if they can give me advice and if this could be a hardware problem. Let's hope not.... Went back, program was still open. Still happens. closed it....back to normal, but for how long.. Another video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_o-9omZwFmTOUdYQjRwSWJlWmM/view?usp=sharing Should I be worried that this is a hardware problem?

I am working in designer again. Yesterday a couple of hours with no problems. Today for over an hour and it happens again. It happens when I move my mouse arrow from my drawing sheet over to the grey parts of the menu. Everytime I do this my screen flashes. I have tried going to fullscreen mode and it still happens. This does not happen on my desktop or in other programs. I really have no clue what is causing this. I tried the zooming thing, it seems to work for a while then it happens again. Anyone?

Hey leigh, thanks for having a look. I uploaded a video. It just happened several times that day. Had used designer a couple of times before. Happened on only this specific file as I haven't used the program that much yet. Not sure about the zooming. I will have to test this when it happens again. trim.87DAEC19-0D09-4D98-ACEE-D67617839900.MOV

Hi, This just happened today. I closed AD, restarted, didn't happen in the beginning. Afterwards it did again for a while. Now it's over again. I remember a month ago,I had some issues to. There were stripes and glitches across the screen really badly for like 10 secs. It's a brand new Imac, 21,5/3,3ghz/16gb ram and a fusion drive. Has something to do with affinity? I was using a wacom tablet that was charging at the keyboard and I have a harddrive for backups attached. No other programs except email was open. I'm new to Imac. So not sure if this happens sometimes or if it's really bad.

Hi MEB, I've uploaded the file because it's still happening. It started after I colored the background from the electricity scene. I used some DAUB brushes with several kinds of opacity. Then I started coloring the last two squares and I never got the colors right anymore. Every color that was saved in my palette appears brighter than it should be. Thanks for having a look, I'm very curious, hope it can be fixed, because I spend several hours on one page.

Hi, I'm tracing a comic in Affinity Photo. I get this, tried loads of things and different brushes, but when I draw over a line that is already drawn I get this darker black on top of it. How can I make sure it is all the same color? Also the brushes seem quite pixelated, I zoomed in of course, but it's still pretty noticable, is this normal? Designer is not an option as everything will be colored with inks and flats. thanks

Hi, I really love those effects and would like to buy them and use them in Affinity Photo. Will this work? http://graphicriver.net/item/retro-vintage-text-effects/8095568?_ga=1.10997362.738839310.1459269663 also could I use this: http://graphicriver.net/item/retro-painting-machine-vintage-effect-action/11769863 and some brushes http://graphicriver.net/item/50-vintage-brushes-set-vol-3/12744796

Hi everyone, just trying some stuff out. I scanned a drawing, adjusted the levels a bit and selected the black lines with the flood select tool. I'm now coloring the shapes with the flood fill tool. Of course it doesn't fill very nicely around the black lines. How can you touch this up 'easily'? Also is there a way to make the drawing lines more smoother? Image was scanned as TIFF in 600 dpi. Then imported. I zoomed in a lot on the screenshot....

evtonic3, I watched the video and tried, it works like a charm thanks a lot! :-) pixelpest tried your thing too in AP and it worked. RC-R Sorry for my noobness, managed sort of to group things. But not sure what node pruning is and why and how you duplicate shapes. I get this now...probably something to do with the above things not done. mr hat trouble in paradise.afdesign

Thanks everyone for your time! This will help me a lot. Now I know what to do. Many options, I'll try them all. And see what suits me best. It's also good to know all the options depending on what project I'm working. So glad you all helped me out. MANY THANKS! @evtonic3 I'll check the movie tonight, won't open on my ipad. Thank you :)

Thank you very much for your reply. I'll have a close look at it soon. It sounds a bit complicating as I'm just starting out. I indeed noticed I duplicated some curves not sure what I did wrong, I tried to adjust the existing shapes sometimes that worked, sometimes it duplicated. It looks very time consuming to make closed shapes. I was also wondering if I open this file in Affinity Photo, is it possible then to fill it easier. (I do understand I will lose quality) If so , how to do this? Open a new layer?etc? I've been thinking about buying a Wacom tablet too, so might be able to color my drawings. Good idea or not? I'm the kind of person who likes to work quickly. More natural. I do like the vector drawings, but it's not really my style. I did some illustration work for childrens books the old fashioned way ( watercolor) and some on the ipad. (Draw black lines, scan it with adobe shape and import it in Procreate, there you could easily fill shapes as the drawing was vectorised. So maybe that's another option?

Hi everyone, I'm a total noob at this. Maybe this is a really stupid question. I quickly drew something. Traced it with the pen tool to create a vector. Now I would like to color this illustration, like fill spaces with the bucket tool (flood fill) or gradient. What should I do now? Open it in affinity photo, create a new layer? Tried that but the whole background is colored. I've watched some tutorials but not sure how to do this.... mr hat.afdesign

Looking to buy a drawing tablet. (First one not too expensive, just to fiddle around a bit, this one is 70€) Many positive reviews, but I sometimes read about problems with drivers. I can't find much about this about this product working with Affinity. Anyone got experience with this product and Affinity?
