Please upload the .afphoto file so we can try it.

Yes, if I remove the character Panel, I can open pictures and create new documents again. Thanks! Do you have an idea for solving the problem of the preview (point 2.)?

Until then, thank you Chris!

1. Yes, it happens every time - without exception. Yes, it has only happened since version 42. See also https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/30123-program-crashes-when-opening-picturenew-document-15042/ 2. I also recall the following critical preview problem: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/29884-problems-with-previews/ If I remember correctly, there was not this problem in the first beta version.

[1.5.0.42] I can not open an image or create a new file - crash! See attached file.

Make a Double-click in the image to place a new mesh node.

Am I the only one who has this problem? :mellow:

I am afraid there is a general problem with the previews (see also https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/29136-pipette-filter-field-blur-filter-radial-blur/?p=141304/ #4). That is why I opened a new topic: The preview does not work with grid distortion and perspective. As with the filters (and perhaps also in other cases), the preview image always jumps back to the initial position. But after the confirmation, the change is applied (see attached video).

But why is the problem only with Windows 10?

Thank you MEB! Yes, I have chosen the large icons. Only the affinity icons are displayed (for both programs).

For me in Windows 10, no previews are displayed in the file explorer. Neither *.afdesign files nor *.afphoto files are displayed. Is that known?

I was looking forward to early. A few times the filter preview functioned. Now everything is the same again :(

I think it has something to do with the last AP update. I have now updated my graphics card. This seems to solve the preview problem. Still there is the matter with the filter field blur: I can not see a difference between global and the marker. Am I too stupid to use the filter, or does the filter not work properly?

I had the impression that the problem was only since the version 38. But I am not sure. My Specs: - Processor: AMD Phenom™ II X4 955 Processor 3.20 GHz - RAM: 8 GB - Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 - Monitor: SyncMaster F2380 (resolution 1920x1080) - Operating system: Windows 7 / 64 bit

U P D A T E : Now I have found that all filters behave like this. When I let the slider or click into the picture, the preview disappears.

For both filters, the preview does not seem to work. When I move a slider is an effect to see. When I let the slider, I see the unchanged image again. When applying the filter, I can see an effect of the filter. In the filter field blur, I can not see a difference between global and the marker.

Yes, German keyboard.

The shortcut [Ctrl] + [+] for zooming in does not work ([Ctrl] + [-] works).

Thanks for the update! 1. Where is the pipette tool? 2. Filter field blur: Either I do not understand this filter, or it does not work. 3. Filter Radial Blur does not work properly. (Windows 7)

Crop Tool: The key shortcut Schift + O, for turning the Golden Spiral (overlay) does not work.

Has anyone else had this experience?

Thanks Chris! I mean not the number of channels or the distortion: On the right, there are no levels in the curves dialog box. In the levels dialog box there is no this gap. You can also make a levels adjustment in the curves dialog box. In the levels dialog box I see that everything is alright. But in the curves dialog box, I see that I must spread the light levels. It really irritates me.

The histogram in the levels dialog box looks different than the histogram in the curves dialog box (see attached image). It is the same image. Is it wanted? If so, why is that so?

It seems that I cannot protect the transparency of a layer. Is this important function planned?

Amazingly in AD and AP at the same time!
