I printed to PDF and am not getting those lines

I have had similar in Photo with NO documents open. I have worked on items and closed them one by one as I finish with them until there are NO documents open. I have even sorted them into their destination with no locked warnings
And still on rare and random sessions I will get the "Quit" message with no way out of it
They really should add a button that says something other than Okay. How about "close anyway" The only option currently is to kill the photo.exe process

Thanks Walt and Debra
Today the beta worked correctly. I know a bit better: I should have rebooted and tested again before reporting
Thanks for the replies

In the release version I can use the select brush to remove a white background. Same with the flood select tool although with contiguous deselected, it will grab some of the same color on the graphic itself, easily deselected with the brush. I reverse the selection so the main object is selected I then Refine and it works correctly letting me select the finer details
Not so in 1903. Even with the find edges selected the flood fill just selects everything and the brush never find edges. Same with refine. If you paint a detail it also selects portions around it
I've attached a jpg. Please give it a try
Thanks

I just exported a JPG to PNG successfully (with my setup) so look a bit deeper
Try rebooting the machine then opening photo and trying again. Whatever happens please post back here so others can take a look
Also, how big is the file you are trying to convert?

The current cross hairs only is cumbersome as one must Zoom in to get the correct color. A magnifier would help workflow a log
Thanks

That is known to make a mess on some machines. Check this out

Possibly you have turned off the Show Object Type option in the panel settings?
A screenshot of your Layers panel, and the panel settings menu, might be useful.

No. Windows, as shown in my signature.
Those were probably forum Designer, but the Layers panel in Photo is the same as far as I know.
I'm not seeing them in either program
BTW I have trouble seeing the tiny type in your (or my) signatures

I am on Windows and in the Photo beta and don's see either of your illustrations. Walt, are you on a MAC?

Many things can cause slowdowns. Sordum has free, portable utilities that can help
Temp cleaner: run as administrator and check the bottom right corner of your screen when a small box will pop with the number of files and folders remove
https://www.sordum.org/9190/temp-cleaner-v1-3/
Clean your memory
https://www.sordum.org/9197/reduce-memory-v1-6/
All his stuff is good and will fill a need
Hope that helps. Remember they are PORTABLE and need no install

That could indicate you should turn off Hardware Acceleration, or update your GPU drivers.
I will hold on any big fixes as others are having screen refresh problems and my computer is less than a year old. I keep all it's drivers up to date
Thanks though

I don't know that Affinity does not have an issue. But on my vast intricate network of 2 machines, I got away with it.
Windows networking is notoriously quirky and it smells like a networking issue ... but that is just an off hand shot in the dark

Something else going on. I can export to my wife's machine with no issues

Thanks! I checked and they are fully updated but I'm scared to uninstall and reinstall! Perhaps it will get better. I think crossing my fingers is almost definitely the way forward!
Noooooo 😁 Download the latest drivers and have them ready. You can delete the drivers in Device mangler then reboot and it will install at least generic drivers on the way in. Then run your downloaded package and that should do the trick

so is this still an issue with affinity or a quirky uncommonly formatted image file? To reiterate, it still opens fine from the get go in browsers and photo viewers. I don't have any adobe apps anymore but I'm curious how it appears in photoshop at least
The problem was in the bottom mask. Turn that off and the picture shows correctly in Affinity. That is a renamed file that has layers which JPG files do not
So other simple viewers do not see the layers but Affinity does

I am getting similar in Photo. When I start adding adjustments, most notably HSL and curves, small white lines will border (usually) the left and or top.
Usually they disappear with a quick zoom but often they are introduced artifacts that need to be cloned out

Interesting how there are masks in a JPEG file. Turn them off.
That is the solution. That is something else (PSD?) renamed to JPG. My less elegant way of dealing with it was to convert your troublesome JPG to a "JPG" and all was well including a reduction from 49000 K to 315 k

Windows 11. Um. Not sure what else to add! Is anyone else seeing this?
Yes, not often but at least once or twice a day

I have had "Apply to selection" checked and do not get the issue that TR gets. Checked or unchecked, nothing changes
HOWEVER it does happen if you pate a new document from the clipboard so TR did find a bug as the "Apply to selection" is broken in both the release and the latest beta
