funk

I had the same problem and it was solved with this:

@Chris B My "Device Profile" was set to "System Default (sRGB virtual device model profile)". I don't think I have ever changed this. It seems to be the Windows 10 default and I seem to remember it being the same before the version 2004 update. I set it to "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" instead and now both photo/designer installers run without crashing! Both apps launch correctly too. Thanks! This must be a new issue in Windows 10 2004, because I'm pretty sure I had the same settings before the update.

I also noticed Photo and Designer stopped launching after updating Windows 10 to version 2004. I uninstalled them and grabbed the latest installers. I seem to have the same log errors.

Thanks. I've had to revert back to 1.6.5 because I couldnt figure out another way to produce this result using blend modes. If photo had a "divide" blend mode, I could rearrange the layers another way to produce this result, like I do in photoshop.

I'm not sure if I should expect a response from QA here, but it would be nice to know my post wasn't missed

I use a combination of blend modes in my old 1.6.5 files that has broken in 1.7.x I have attached a file, with a hidden layer showing the correct result. If you load the file in 1.6.5, it will match the "correct result" layer, but it produces an incorrect result in 1.7.2 funks_reinhard_tonemapping_trick.afphoto

I've been stuck on PS CS5 for a while. After trying Photo, the layered EXR support (and price!) convinced me to buy it. Congrats on the great release :)
