Please can someone help me?! The enjoyment is being drained out of my post-processing because I'm waiting for Photo to crash and lose my work/undo history options.
While using Nik Collection filters, Affinity Photo will randomly crash. It's inconsistent in as much as it will not occur every time I use one particular filter. Sometimes it will be on the first use of a filter and sometimes I will have used one or two filters before it will happen.
Affinity photo crashes and I lose everything I have done to that point.
I am using the latest version of Photo and the plugins. I have a modern PC running Windows 10 pro with 64gb ram, RTX 2070s gpu, AMD 3960x and both drives are m.2 so hardware "shouldn't" be contributing to instability or be underpowered.
Photo works flawlessly on it's own.
I'm at a bit of a loss what to do and whether other people have the same experience or know how to prevent the crashes from recurring.
My work flow is to develop my raf raw file in Develop module, duplicate my background layer and apply the Nik raw pre-sharpener to the new layer. Then I fix white balance, tone and crop/perspective using Photo's adjustment layers and tools etc. After this I use define followed by Color efex or Viveza etc.
Sometimes I can edit 1, 2 or 3 photos like this without issue and then other times it will crash multiple times in the same photo.
I have no additional programs running other than bitdefender in the background.
