Hi there, I've encountered the same issue since I've updated AP to 1.8. This is a workaround I have not read any mention about: run the program using the gpu processor (NVIDIA in my case) and not the default processor (usually the integrated Intel). It starts without any crash. Unfortunately it's not the solution.

I stay tuned on this thread

Great News!!!

@MBd after all alecspra asked for an other method for doing the work an he was satisfied as far as I can see he suggests to use the frequency separation to preserve the details and the traits of the face

well I found it interesting because it is an alternative to a layered work. He works on a low frequency layer and it seems to be more realistic compared to a traditional method, fairly time saving. Picking up the colors from a color photo is a good suggestion, I tried myself with a picture of Theodore Roosevelt, picking up colors from Robin Williams in "Night at the museum". The result satisfied me and did it in a short time.

Hi @alecspra I've just found out this tutorial with the frequency separation and the paint mixer brush tool

It's not the firs time. Thar occured also in previus Betas. I was just tracing a picture with the pen tool and after 4th curve the program crashed. Exactly in the moment I was trying to adjust a curve by the handle. Attached the screenshot of the work in progress

Same issue. But only when I open files from recents. If I open a new file it does not happen.

Remarkable number of users! Thanks for your reply @MBd
