Will do.
Roughly how long does it usually take the development team to get back to us about the cause of the problems I'm experiencing?
Thanks again

Hi again Chris,
I have done this and attached is the .dmp produced after the crash.
I don't know what this file does or means so I will wait for your input once again. Thanks as always.
Best wishes,
Chris

Hey Chrismlindley,
Have you added Affinity Photo and DxO as safe apps in BitDefender?
My DxO apps for the most part are pretty sturdy but I don't generally use them day to day for actual production work so it's likely I wouldn't typically see the crash you are seeing.
Can you check for crash reports too? The location will depend on the place you purchased Affinity Photo (direct from us or from Microsoft).
%AppData%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\CrashReports
or
%AppData%\Affinity\Photo\1.0 (Store)\CrashReports
You can acccess the AppData folder by pressing the Windows key + R on your keyboard and then just type %AppData%
Hi Chris,
I have done as you suggested but didn't see any crash reports but I'm not sure I would know if I was looking at one unless it slapped me and told me it was a crash report.
What should i be looking for?
Thanks again

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.

Thank you!!! :)
Hi Chris,
Welcome to the forums.
As you've already created the file all you need to do is open your image and use File > Place. Now browse to your file and click Open. Using the Move Tool you can resize and position. When you're ready you can use File > Export to create a new file that has the signature included, however, during the export, everything will be rasterized.

Hello,
I'm new to Affinity Photo and was not a Photoshop user before, so you can extrapolate from this that I am inexperienced!
I would like to make a signature that I can add to my photos without having to type it each time and that is scalable without loss of sharpness or quality. I believe this is done with something called a vector graphic although I'm not certain.
I have chosen a font, created a new document in AP with a transparent background, typed my signature line and then exported. I selected the SVG file type, but then I'm not sure where to go from there or how to add it to existing images that I'm working on in AP.
I'm trying to move away from Adobe subscription services and trying to learn AP so it will become my go-to photo editor.
Thanks for any help and suggestions.
Chris
