Ah, that makes sense! During testing, we did notice that some raw files with compression were not opening. Would it be possible to send one of the raws over anyway? We ought to be investigating this and ensure that even raw files with compression are opening.

Hey @Tr48 can you share one of the raw samples, please? I did quite a bit of raw testing for this update and the Z8 raw samples I tried all worked fine. Can you also tell me if you're using Serif Labs or Apple Core from the Develop Assistant?

I've updated the request for this feature that's logged with the developers. Thanks for the bump.

I have reproduced this and will log it with the developers. Thank you.

Hey AP-, I see what you're saying. The easy fix for filters is indeed Protect Alpha. For masks, there's no such option. I'm not sure a Protect Alpha would work for masks due to their nature, but perhaps something that can clamp the alpha at the edges would be possible. I'd have to ask some questions with development about this.

Thanks for the bump. I will go ahead and update the bug report.

I've bumped the bug report.

Hey @Affinity_Pro it could very well be the same. The actions you were taking look like the recipe to trigger the crash we know about. I spent a good 10 minutes or so testing the recipe and didn't get a crash in the 2.4.0.2252 beta. I don't think it will be long until this is available to you.

Hey Hangman, Thank you for the video. We did struggle to reproduce this from scratch but it looks like you've nailed it. We can get this logged with the developers. Much appreciated.

Hi anto, I can reproduce this with the attached file. Interestingly, if I move the problematic text frame around the canvas, I can select it. As soon as I put it near its original place, I get the difficulty. I'll get this logged with the developers to look at.

Sean has just logged a very substantial report with the developers about this. I'll tag the thread now

Thanks anto/Hangman. I will look into this.

Hey pawl_s, I've just used a similar-sized raw image in RGB 16 and it takes about 2 or 3 seconds for a 90px Inpainting brush to carry out a small task. This is on a relatively new RTX 3080 machine. I reduced the resolution slightly to 3000 px and RGB8 and the Inpainting brush is much quicker. Typically about 1 or 2 seconds. So my results are not too different from your own.

Hey pawl_s, May I ask what specifically is slow? Is it brushing/painting, are objects lagging when dragging around the canvas etc? Are you able to do a quick screen recording at all? We have recently logged an issue where having the Layers Panel visible can cause brush strokes to not draw correctly. I believe this is why debraspicher has suggested closing the Layers Panel.

Hey anto - that's it! It's an issue with the Iris Plus GPU. I've just reproduced it on my first go with a different MacBook. I will get this logged with the developers - thanks for persevering with this.

Hi anto. Thank you for the video. I can clearly see you are having a genuine issue but for the life of me, I cannot reproduce it. I've just spent about an hour trying different combinations of screen resolutions, Hardware Acceleration (HA) on/off etc. Can you let me know what graphics card your Mac has please and remind me if you work with HA on or off.

Sorry this still hasn't been resolved. I have updated the bug report.

@TomJr I've just had a look and it does appear to be fixed in the 2.4 beta.

Hey funksy, I will get this issue bumped. I think at the time we couldn't reproduce it but now we can.

Perfect - thanks. I've created a task and included the raw file for us to test once we get a LibRaw update.

Hey Abtex, Could you attach a sample raw from the Sony A6700 please? We like to request files for currently unsupported cameras so we can carry out testing once we update LibRaw.

Same here. Our friendly neighbourhood @Sean P spotted it

I think the issue here, is that the objects inside the Artboards 'appear' to be tagged but, if you right-click them, you will see they aren't. The bug here I think is that inherited tags should also be considered by the queries but they currently are not! I'll get this logged.

Thanks. Always nice to get some websites with sources. I tried a few and they opened but they opened incorrectly. I was just getting a red canvas. OP sounded like they couldn't even get as far as opening them. Still, I'd like one from the OP so we can get it into the system.

@lululightning would you mind attaching a raw from the Lumix G9? I can't find a free sample online so if you can send one over, I can try and put it on the list for when we next update the supported raw files.
