I have a large file that I'm working on which takes a few seconds to export as JPG. I noticed that if I cancel the export, the file I want to overwrite gets deleted. Is this normal? IMO, this shouldn't happen. Please check the screen recording attached. canceling_export_deletes_file.mp4

If you start typing a name on layer and right after that you right click on its thumbnail, the right click menu appears in the wrong place. Please check the video I recorder. Steps to reproduce the bug: 1. Create a new layer (layer type doesn't seem to matter) 2. Start typing a name without confirming it (i.e. pressing Enter or clicking away) 3. Right click on the layer's thumbnail The right click menu will appear somewhere in the upper left corner of the screen instead of under the mouse cursor. rename_layer_right_click_bug.mp4

Hi, Sorry to bring up a 2 years old thread, but I found that this issue still exists in the latest version. Should I post a new bug report thread in the Photo Bugs found on Windows section since the bug is still there in the newest version? Any idea if this bug has been looked at?

So I gather this is a bug, yes? Hopefully the Affinity technical team can chime in to confirm.

Interesting. So what do I need to do to not get this problem? Disable OCIO? How do I do that?

I'm not able to record my screen currently, but I don't do anything out of the ordinary. I just open the EXR file and convert it to 8 or 16 bit. Please note that I have the following options enabled in settings (see below). Maybe try again with these turned on and you will see the bug. If you don't, it's probably because you're on a Mac and I'm on a Windows PC. The Windows and Mac versions of Affinity Photo are not exactly the same so it very well might be that the Mac version of Photo doesn't have this bug. I will try to record my screen when I have some free time.

Thanks for the suggestions, @NotMyFault. I don't have hardware acceleration enabled. Please find attached a cropped version of the EXR. Please note that this issue appears with every 3D rendered EXR image that I've tested so far. exr2_cropped.exr

Hi, I have a 3D rendered image saved as a floating point EXR. When I convert it to 8-bit or 16-bit in Affinity Photo, I get nasty image artifacts. Please check the screenshot below. If you need it, I can send the EXR file to Affinity support staff privately.

This works flawlessly! I spent so much time trying to figure out how to export my ACEScg EXRs to 8-bit until I found your suggestion. Thanks!!! I have no idea why this process is not automated when switching from 32-bit to 8-bit in Affinity Photo.

I don't want to trim my layers when rasterizing them. I have to keep them intact. BTW, no official response from Serif?

Hi @Gabe, Any updates on this? I am still facing this issue on a daily basis, sometimes costing me a lot of work because I didn't know a layer got blurred along the way. This is a serious issue which has gone unfixed for a year and a half now. I'm astonished that this bug has not been fixed yet. Why is nothing being done on this?

I have a particular document which if I resize, AP hangs indefinitely and starts filling up my RAM and using 100% of my CPU power. The document is very simple and consists of a single layer. You can download the afphoto file here: https://we.tl/t-eOdkKecBex

I found an amazing open-source AI powered inpainting tool called LaMa. Is it possible to integrate this into Affinity Photo?

Thanks, Lee!

Hi, I can't export a photo I'm working on currently to a PSD format. I get the following error message: "An error occurred while exporting to:<my desktop path>". I can export to any other format just fine. Please see attached a simplified version of my document which still gives an error. cant_export_psd.afphoto

Sorry for the late reply. I don't have a G-sync monitor.

Alright, got it. Thanks!

Can I prevent that so that colors don't change and how? I'm not using live filters. Erase White Paper filter only applies to the selected layer.

Hi, Whenever I overlay a layer that had "Erase White Paper" filter applied on it, it changes the colors of the underlying layers. Please check the attached file. Try turning the top layer on and off and notice how the original photo changes colors. Is this normal? How can I prevent this? orange monarch butterfly.afphoto

The 3090 is used for 3D rendering so not having it driving the displays increases the performance.

I don't even know what this is. So I guess probably no? If my quick internet search findings is to be believed, I can enable/disable this through the Nvidia Control Panel through the "Configure Surround, PhysX" menu, yes? The "Span displays with Surround" checkbox is disabled. So I think it is disabled? Please see screenshot below.

Thanks for the feedback, Ron. It might be my particular hardware, software and driver configuration.

Turn on "Snap windows" in Settings in Windows 10. It's in the "Multitasking" panel. Then make sure all 3 checkboxes below are active and try again.

Hi, I would like to report a bug. When I move the Affinity Photo window from my main monitor to my 2nd monitor and then back to the main monitor, the whole Affinity Photo window goes completely black. Steps to reproduce: Connect 2 monitors. Open Affinity Photo on your main monitor and make sure it's maximized. Drag the Affinity Photo window to the 2nd display and make sure that the mouse cursor is touching the top of the 2nd display before releasing the mouse button. Repeat step 3, but on the main monitor. Affinity Photo goes completely black. This issue doesn't occur if I drag between monitors and releasing somewhere in the middle of the display. It only happens when the mouse cursor is touching the top of the display upon release. Also, this issue didn't occur with pre 1.9 versions of Affinity Photo as far as I remember.

I don't mind that it won't perfectly preserve the aspect ratio. I'm fixing it manually anyway by unlocking the pad and rounding down manually every time I resize something. However, this is only wasting my time as I have to do it every time I resize a document. Are you saying that there's no way to make it round down to whole numbers? What purpose does this fractional document size thingy serve? It only causes me problems like thin white/transparent bars on images.
