I didi that a little more than a year ago. I made a lightbox and a stand and took a picture of each and every photograh I had using my DSLR and a macro lens on a stand and a remote control. Then I did the same for hundered of color slides. It took a while but I does a much better job than with the HP scanner I had with the negative and slide adaptor. I took all pîctures in JPG and used Affinity Photo for cropping and levels adjustments. But I think the most useful tools were the inPainting and Healing Brushes..... there is so much dust and particles on those pictures and slides once zoomed on your screen. Before each photo I cleaned them with a brush and a blower, but there is still a lot left. It's tedious job but it's worth it. Now all family members have copy of those pictures.

Made some tests just by curiosity tried to open this file using some apps. Hoping that will help. Affinity Photo Beta .834: NO Affinity Photo beta iPad: NO Faststone Image Viewer: YES Windows Photo Viewer: YES Windows 10 Photos App: YES Windows Snip and Sketch: YES Microsoft Word: YES iPad Photos App: YES Procreate: YES

Why does it seem than rendering is not over yet. Just a small square part in the middle looks OK, all the rest is still blurred like if rendering had not finished his job. Maybe you try to save while renderring is still going on. Or it could be the quality of the video file.

Confirmed here too, and it does exactly the same in the release and beta versions.

Both work very well so far here too.

Hello @Gabe, I don't know if you worked out something in the latest beta of Photo (.834) relatively to the problem I had, but I couldn't get it to crash since I installed beta.834. Your work is appreciated.

No problem for the delay, One thing I didn't mention in my post is that it happens right after I click the "Apply" button. I just repeated the same operation using the same file about twelve times and got a few crashes but not everytime. I cannot pinpoint what could trigger that crash. Here are the steps I did every time: - Open an aphoto file on which I select one object. - Create a transparent letter size empty document - Paste the copied object on this new document twice - Enlarge about three times their size each of them - Select the Mesh Warp Tool on one of the pasted object. - I created about 20 nodes and moved almost all of them for about one minute, and click "Apply" The fan becomes loud but, again, it does not crash every time I have attached the crash dump files I got this morning doing those tests. Thanks. 3251a9b2-107e-44a9-a308-4be2a08d34bc.dmp 0f7be207-30fd-4903-9a65-f8c357409c39.dmp feadee06-787d-4be1-a00b-c3a7dc800852.dmp 4178f599-2726-46c8-acba-a1b834c4f0bc.dmp 22f38766-4c54-47da-b811-c0e2ca3f441e.dmp 0d59352e-904d-4ace-97c6-a8ee3b5c0b01.dmp

Beta 1.9.0.820 Crash after Mesh Wrap. I copied the same image twice, pasted them on a new empty canvas, Used Mesh Tool on one of them and after a minute or so the fan became loud. Checking an unchecking "visible/invisible" in the layers panel did nothing and Photo wasn't responding anymore. Here is the crash report. f9d0b390-22c0-4c81-ae3a-a9ff11b2e8df.dmp

Thank you @Ash, thank you, these clarifications are more reassuring.

Everything went smoothly including the registration process on both apps. But.... I quit using some software (ON1 the most recent) as you must be logged in to use them. Yes it has some advantages but you have to give up on your privacy to a certain point and I hate that, it's close to spying on users. I hope that in the future I will be able to use the app and all the stuff I bought without having to be logged in.

Made the panorama on Desktop and iPads without any problem. Acceleration is enabled on Desktop app.

Sorry, I also use Designer on my iPad, less than Photo, but I never had a crash on either models. But I never worked on a canvas bigger than 13" x 19". If you could post the file you have problem with, I could try it.

I work a lot on my two ipads and never had a crash.... could be something else than Photo.

@anon2, you're right about his post. On one of the images he posted the zoom is twice as much so the resolution of the picture has to be twice as low, so it get "pixellated" once zoomed. This seems to be a bias comparaison (maybe not intended) by @PopstarNZ who has only one post on this forum.

All Mighty @KC Honie....Who the "banned word" do you think you are.... to judge who is a good customer or not, and what is Serif going to do.... Say what you like and what you don't but don't tell us what others should like or say. What is added usability for you may not be useful at all for someone else. I can wait for a DAM as I prefer Serif keeps working on polishing current versions. And there are so many DAM software already available, some are even free and work very well.

The "Move to Back", "Move back one".... do the same as the aligment buttons.

On an iPad I zoom in more often that on a large screen destop. So small selections, outside of the zoomed area, got me a few times. Yes, some way of knowing that we are trying to do some work outside a selection would be useful.

Same here too.

Mouse wheel does the same here too (but I still have five fingers on my mouse). But it would be nice if canva rotation could be achieved using my Wacom pen. Something I noticed, when the canva has been rotated the buttons on my Wacom stylus don't work anymore, until the canva is back to its normal position. Those buttons are programmed to "zoom in" and "zoom out".

I begin having not enough fingers...

I have iPadOS 14.2 beta installed on both, so I cannot make any test with the release version of iPadOS. I made another panorama with my 6th gen iPad which has only 2 GB or RAM in August. At that time I'm quite sure I had installed the first beta of iPadOS 14 and it worked equally well. I'm sure RAM is not the problem.

Invisible selection.... that was it... and it got me.

Same problem on the iPad Pro 2020. Even if I remove all layers and keep only the original image there is no way to paint over it.

I just made a panorama using 4 20MB RAW images (Panasonic) and it worked very well on my two iPads.

Salut @Nikon Shooter ! @Jowday.....😁 his honesty... semi-religious cult wow... ???? He's just whining every time he posts something that's all there is.
