- Create a new document.
- From the Windows Explorer, drag and drop an image file on your new document.
- Select the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" and make a selection with it.
- Press Control+X or select "Edit/Cut" (or Control+C to Copy, "Edit/Copy").
The pasted content is an image layer with special properties. Rasterise the layer in question after pasting to convert it into a pixel layer.

The original files are attached already to this post. I am inserting to pretty small png/svg files showing a qr code. Usage of these images causes Designer to fail producing a printable PDF. Also they will not be displayed properly in the document.
If I use the PNG images seen in your post, it seems to work fine here. For the PDF export, I used the default settings.
Are you sure that the QR PNGs are to blame? Can you provide the afdesign document? Maybe there are other critical elements in your layout.

@Michail I did insert the gradient in the image. Sorry for not explaining better.
Can you provide a little video so we can see what you are doing?

1. Go to overlay
2. Insert Gradient overlay
3. Go to "Simple" Tab => Change e.g. shadows to 0% => the change won't be visibleIt is not enough to insert a gradient overlay. You must then also create a gradient in the image
.
The same applies to the brush overlay. Here you use the "Overlay Paint Tool".

Affinity Designer Version 1.10.6.1665Welcome here to the forums
There are reports that V2 files can no longer be opened if they are on a network drive. However, I know of no reports that this is also the case with V1 files.

View/ customize toolbar (the second one, at the bottom of View menu).
I am aware that you can customise the tools. However, it is surprising that the double-click only works for the individual tools.
It's not a big deal and I just wanted to mention it. It's an inconsistency between the programmes.
I've also been wondering since the beginning that only in Affinity Publisher are the two thematically related tools next to each other.As I said, I just wanted to mention it
-
With a double-click on the zoom tool, the 100% view was previously obtained, and with a double-click on the view tool, the fitting view. Both no longer work in Affinity Designer 2. In Photo and Publisher it works as expected.
Furthermore, both tools are now in the same tool flyout, which may be intentional.
The developers may have worked in this area. Therefore there might be a connection to the following thread:

One I include the files attached in a document Designer will not render a PDF, freeze or leave the elements uneditable.
Can you describe a little more precisely what you are doing (step sequence, PDF settings, etc.)?
If you are placing files and not screenshots, please provide us with one of the original files. -

1. Create a document in AD, with Image policy Linked.
2. Drag a vector file from pixabay onto the document.
3. Use Edit in Affinity Photo.
Result: In AP an empty layer is shown.
4. Do steps 1. to 3. in Affinity Publisher.
Result: In AP the image is shown.I can confirm the behaviour here. However, this happens to me in Affinity Designer as well as in Affinity Publisher.

They can't if their C drive is too small, as they have said it is, to do the initial installation.
Pardon, I did not read carefully. I assumed that there was already an installation on C:\

The MSIX won't let me select my D:\Program Files folder. I don't have a C:\Program Files as my C:\ is small and already full so it has no space. Everything I install is in D:\Program Files all the time.
You can move MSIX programmes to D:\ after installation (Windows settings > Apps).

Thanks, but what you're reporting doesn't solve the problem.
... of course not! But it shows the intentions.

But it could also be a bug that has not yet been fixed on the Mac (unlike Windows).

Here is an excerpt from the (Windows) help:
Develop Persona gives you access to the following:
- Output options that will retain your original raw image as a non-destructive raw layer, with the raw file either embedded (copied into your document) or linked (left in its original file location).
-
Develop Assistant to control behaviour on loading the RAW image:
- choice of RAW engine for RAW processing
- enable/disable automatic lens correction (SerifLabs RAW engine only)
- enable/disable automatic noise reduction
- enable/disable automatic tonal adjustment (curves)
- enable/disable automatic exposure adjustment
- Tonal adjustments using the Basic and Tones panels.
- Sharpening and Noise adjustments using the Details panel.
- Lens correction adjustments using the Lens panel.
- Overlays for applying adjustments to specific brushed image regions.
- Crop Tool for cropping your image.
- Blemish Removal Tool for correcting image imperfections.
- Focus panel.
- Scope panel.
- Snapshots panel for comparing different image processing settings.
At any point while working with an image or any selected pixel layer, you can switch to Develop Persona to make use of its unique features.

in this v.2 video you can see the real-time change of the raw file.
The video was apparently produced on a Mac. It would be interesting to know if this is also the case for the other assistant settings. If not, it would be inconsistent again, and therefore not correct.

All of the available (non-destructive) Filters and Adjustment layers are accessible by clicking on the Filter or Adjustment layer buttons at the bottom of the Layers pane. Their windows open in the bottom right of the main window. they all have built in masks or you can use a separate mask with them.
I know …

I have to question the utility of this feature. Once you have a Pixel layer there is nothing (to the best of my knowledge) in the Develop persona which cannot be done nondestructively in the Photo persona. And you would most likely lose the ability to edit that Pixel layer in the Photo persona without first rasterizing that pixel layer into a pixel layer.
If you see no benefit in it, I fully understand, although I cannot understand your reasons for doing so. Other users - like me - would very much appreciate such functionality. I gave a few reasons in my post above:
By the way: the term non-destructive in this context refers to the fact that you can get back into the Develop Persona at any time without losing your settings. Anyone who shoots in RAW format and uses RAW converters should know the difference between the raw data and JPEG or TIFF.

I think that @albo49 is pointing out that in V1 you could change some of the Assistant settings and they would be applied live to the currently open RAW image. I've seen reports that this no longer works the same way in V2, and you must cancel the Develop process and re-Open the image after making changes to the Develop Assistant options.
This is indeed the case with the tone value curve. But this was inconsistent within the wizard in V1. I think that manipulations with preview should be in the panels.
I remember a discussion about lens correction. It was initially only in the wizard. But people didn't understand that there was no preview. Later, Serif added an option in the lens panel.
That's how it would have to be done here. The wizard takes care of files that are opened and the panels take care of editing - with preview.

This error has already been reported several times on the forum with V2 - Serif will have to fix it.
Is it known what is causing the error?

File attached, I should have mentioned I can open other V2 files no problem the issue is just with this file
Thank you! I can confirm the process - but have no explanation for it.
Perhaps it will be of use to the developers if you make the protocol available to them. You can find it (in Windows) under
%userprofile%\.affinity\Publisher\2.0\ --> Log.txt -

I have been using a afpub file for the last four day in V2 with no issues, now when I try and open the same file i'm getting an error "the file includes features from a later version of affinity" I'm definitely opening the file in V2.
Welcome here to the forums
Can you provide us with the Publisher2 file?

Welcome here to the forums
The development assistant is not an editing tool for opened images.
In the development assistant you define how a RAW image is to be opened. -

Cannot copy and paste after selecting
in V2 Bugs found on Windows

What you can do is copy the contents of the selection in a reduced form. To do this, press Ctrl+Shift+C (instead of Ctrl+C), or use the corresponding command in the Edit menu. Then paste the content back from the clipboard (Ctrl+V). This way, the image layer is preserved if necessary.
