Lee D - it seems to have sorted itself, no turned down corners any more. I actually did nothing other than close down my computer at the end of the day and start it up the following day.

Thanks for the reply, I shall hang on to it for possible future use. At the moment the program is behaving itself, I believe it may have been a corrupted set of files that may have caused the problem. I tried saving the rogue files under a different name/s which had no effect which is why I thought the program had become corrupted. However, since starting a new project with virgin files it does seem to be OK.

Mac Ventura 13.7.6 - I have been successfully using AP since its inception, but since the last update the program has developed multiple faults. An example - using Adjustments or a specific tool causes the pizza disc to continually spin and I an having to keep force quitting. I think I need to completely reset the program, but am not sure on how to do it. Help please.

At the moment the corner fold-downs are absent, I will try the 'change it to Apple (Core Image Raw' if it happens again. However, I have additional problems (going off piste here) with Affinity Photo since the last update, namely I have a file that pizza ball spins continually when i try to 'Merge' a layer Adjustment. I have tried to save the file with a new name, but to no avail.

Mac Ventura 13.7.6. I have a personalised floating palette setup and have recently noticed that it keeps extending itself downwards - see attached image 1. I keep going into the menu>window/studio>NFR palettes to set it back to level with the bottom level of the working window -see attached image 2. It used to stay fixed with a long info elements History or Layers etc folding itself under the visible area.

I checked that out, but my settings are as shown on Oufti's attachment. Now this morning Affinity is not showing turned down corner images, however, the program has been behaving badly ever since I updated to V2.6.2. Things like using Levels and then clicking merge produces the spinning pizza continually and I have to force quit to break the cycle, has anyone else experience issues with this update?

JDBOX, I have just developed the same problem with .afphoto files, can you give me a bullet list of how you rectified it. Thanks

Walt, sorry if my request was unclear, but you successfully guessed what I wanted to do and I have now done it. Thanks.

How do you release master page image on a file page, I want to do this without altering the Master page. I used to able to do this in InDesign, but am unable to find out in APub.

Thanks, but I have downloaded the Encrypto.app which I am using to easily add a password to folders/files. Thanks for your interest.

Garry, I am going to use a free app (Encrypto) to solve my issue, thanks for your interest.

I want to prevent other people from accessing my Affinity Photo files, a simple password is want I would like. The Zipped idea sounds an easy way of achieving this, I just cant fine a way to apply a password to the Zipped file.

I need the ability to prevent viewing the file.

Simplistic, but not workable in my case.

Great, but how do you apply a password to a zipped file, I have searched but cannot find it.

OK, thanks for the clarification

I am sorry Walt, I do not understand your reply. When I say lock, I just want to prevent other people from opening the file, if Affinity Photo does not do it, maybe there is a small app that does.

Is it possible to lock an Affinity photo file, I would like to make a quick lock (light security) without to many computer contortions.

Walt - great tip, really makes my working of images faster and easier.

Terrible brush lag in AP2 made artworking really unpleasant so tried [Preferences]->[Performance] and disable [Hardware acceleration] - well it seems to be working for me.

Please do make the layer lock absolute in Affinity Photo, as an artist it causes me endless issues. When concentrating on a complex artwork it is so easy not to notice that you are colouring the wrong layer and you have to revert to where the error occurred, which can be a long way back resulting in lost work - so frustrating!

A total shut down and re-boot seems to have cleared the problem for now, but thanks for your support.
