It's AV's firewall. It's possible that the firewall is to blame for this message. I first got this message with the beta version 2.6.3.3273. Hence, my suspicion that it's Affinity, but I don't know. Cheers

I think it's an Affinity error. The Affinity apps were blocked by my firewall, and I don't use Norton. Cheers

Hello @EmT, Yes, I have all three apps installed, and they have the same build (2.6.3.3322). In the customer version, this message has not popped up so far. (2.6.3.3322). I should mention that I installed the MSI/EXE(x64) Cheers

Hello @EmT, Yes, the problem persists, but not every time you start. The firewall doesn't block Affinity apps. Cheers

Hello @xzendor7, I would try the Studio driver from Nvidia. There are manufacturers like Topaz who explicitly recommend the Studio driver for their AI products. Would be worth a try. Cheers

I get the following error message more frequently since the new photo beta. A problem occurred when starting the app. The other apps are not accessible Make sure the app is up-to-date, and your firewall is not blocking your LAN connection. This message only displays the beta version, no bug report is created. Cheers

Hello @PAUL R FONTENOT, Topaz Photo AI isn't a full-featured image editing software like Affinity Photo or similar programs. Topaz Photo AI is a software specialized for removing noise, sharpening photos, and upscaling images. That is why a comparison is difficult. Cheers

I edited this image as follows. Step 1: Smoke removal using an online AI tool. Step 2: Scratches and blemishes removed from in Affinity Photo. Step 3: Skin tones adjusted (whether this worked is questionable). I'm wondering how recognizable the people in the photo are, or are they new regenerated by AI? I think only @Paresh can answer that. Cheers

Hello @Andibou, Chapeau, thanks for sharing. Cheers

Hello @PKam, welcome to this forum. The same problem here. I solved it as follows. Before you apply the mask to the group, set the group from Transfer to normal blend mode, and only then apply the mask. Now the mask should work as expected. Hardware acceleration is active for me. I hope this helps. Cheers

Hello everyone, I have found the error, the folder in which the templates are located is faulty. I have not yet found the reason for this Thanks to @Hangman for his efforts. Cheers

Hi @Hangman, Thanks for the answer. The files are stored on a normal hard drive (drive D) Templates created in V1 can be opened. Cheers Business Card.aftemplate

I created some templates with data merging in Publisher V2 about a year ago. Today I wanted to use one of the templates, but Publisher gave me the error message that this file type is not supported. My question is, is this a Bug or did I miss the fact that the file type was changed? Note: this also applies to all other templates that were created at that time. All applications (Publisher, Photo, Designer) report "This file type is not supported". Cheers

Hello @amsamuelbright, Welcome to this forum. I know the problem. The following settings should help. Edit Stetitngs Tools Low Precision. Then your pen should work as expected. Cheers

Hello @Stentiga welcome to this forum I cannot reproduce the problem. In the past, I also had some crashes of Affinity applications, which were probably caused by Windows. After a little research, I increased the virtual memory in Windows and Affinity has been stable since then. Maybe this is a tip for you. Cheers

Super tutorial

Hello @Richard1234 Welcome to this forum Question, is the Paint Brush set to normal? Here the Paint Brush works as expected. Cheers

Hello @bailey80x Welcome to this forum. I can confirm that Designer crashes when opening this file. The file seems to be corrupted because I cannot open it with any CAD program. Which program was used to create the file? Cheers

No abnormalities with the Denoise Filter here.

Same here on Win 11 24H2 Cheers

Hello @Lys, In the context bar, activate the Controller: pressure on, then the pen pressure should work. Cheers

Hello @Lys, Welcome to this forum. Question: Is the pressure sensitivity icon activated in the context bar? Cheers

Hey keiichi77, There are new drivers for Wacom, click here. This is the German page where the drivers are listed. Cheers

Hello @Sitaara, Ron P has already made a great suggestion. Another method would be to place the locally stored images. This makes the images editable. Cheers Test.afdesign

Hello @Plasma Portal, no, I can't because I don't know what the formula is supposed to change. In my opinion, the help for the symmetrical texture is very modest. Without examples, especially with the vector utilities, it's just poking around, without ever getting to the goal. Cheers
