Whoopee! I've finally finished with Photoshop et al. My annual subscription ended this month & I'm more than happy to place all my photographic eggs in the Affinity basket.
Thanks folks for a great product, it fulfills all my editing needs & I won't be looking back.

Hi Folks

Had a few crashes in the latest version of Photo (Windows) but only one sent off an auto crash report.
Crashes happened when loading afphoto files. I load these by right clicking on the file in File Explorer & selecting 'open with'. This only happens intermittantly. No other apps running. Can't reproduce it. Has happened 2 times today, 2 times yesterday.
See attached for details.

Thanks a lot but is there a way to get the old videos ???
I can find the one i've marked but cannot find the others. THANKS.
 

From over 200 videos down to 64!? That sucks...
BTW, you can only access the old videos if you downloaded them prior to the now, truncated video library...

I just did a speed test.
In Windows File Explorer if I right-click on an image file (tiff, 12784 x 3595, 91MB) and select 'Open with' Photoshop CC 2017 it takes 1m 53s to open.
If I do the same operation but 'Open with' Affinity Photo it takes 12s
 

Photoshop CS6/ACR now won't process Sony .arw files from my RX100V (though it does cope with .arw from my A7R2). Photoshop/Lightroom CC is 10 pounds/month in the UK. Ach.
 
Why AP for me (a super-keen amateur photographer)? Some reasons:
Excellent selection/layer/mask/blend mode non-destructive editing. Genius blend ranges (blend-if killer). Magical lighting tool. All I need in luminance and colour edting. Superb help system and training videos. Lots of photoshop compatibility (also means magazine articles, youtube etc are easy to translate). Dynamic company with responsive staff and regular updates. I feel more than a statistic. Nik/Topaz compatibility.  
Yet I am still currently still using Lightroom (purchased version, not rental) as front end because (a) reasonable browse facility, but more about ( b ) better lens corrections (esp. chromatic aberration) and better HDR merge. But then I switch to AP for general editing. When AP fix these I'll be a very happy bunny.
 
I'm currently building a presentation for photo clubs in my are (South Wales and vicinity) called 'Anything but Photoshop'). This means I've chewed through much of the competition. On1 comes second but is a very different animal. Affinity is the clear winner by a country mile.
