Hey everyone! I'm not sure whether this is the place for my problem but anyway... Please view my attached pic to see my problem. When I open any programm of Affinity Suite, I can always work on my latest files. But when I try to open a new one I often get what is shown in the screenshot. The strange thing about it is, this doesn't occur each time I open Affinity. Usually, if Affinity opens very quickly, I know this problem will occur. If Affinity takes a while for loading, I know it'll be fine. Luckily, I can work on my notebook but I rather have my problem solved. Ideas anyone? My system: i7, 16 RAM and a GeForce GTX 560 Ti, which unfortunately isn't updated via drivers anymore.

You're welcome, Lagarto. I really love the G'mic gallery. It's huge! And I'm not giving up hope that one day I can use G'mic as a plug in in AP. *sigh* I do understand there are royalty problems but never say never!

Yup! Unfortunately, you can't reproduce everything 1:1 that PS does. Sometimes I need more than one G'mic filter to come close but it works with a finishing touch of AP. Trust me on that.

Hey Uwe! Ich bin zwar ein wenig spät dran, will dir aber trotzdem meine Lösung des Filterproblems vorschlagen. Ich verwende Gimp mit G'mic. Wenn ich einen Filter brauche über den AP nicht verfügt, exportiere ich die Datei als PSD. Gimp 2.10 öffnet PSDs mittlerweile ohne zu mucken. Nach dem Einsatz von G'mic, exportiere ich aus Gimp wieder als PSD und bearbeite in AP ganz normal weiter. Vielleicht hilft dir das. G'mic hab ich sogar schon zu PS-Zeiten verwendet, denn die Filter sind einfach der Knaller.

Daaaankeee!!!

Hey community! I installed the new Wacom, 2. Generation. When I use bluetooth connection I'm having problems with brushes. E.g., DAUB Dry Media just don't work at all. Other brushes like "simple" work just perfectly, while some art brushes in their groups work, some don't. Very strange! The funny thing about it is that this problem doesn't occur when I use cable connection, e.g. for charging the tablet. Every brush works just perfectly then. Are there any settings to solve this? System: Win10, i7 (7th Gen), 16 GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 940

Are you just telling me I cannot cancel my Adobe suscription because there is no solution for this problem? Seriously???

Done!

---EDIT--- After more than two hours AD has finally opened the file! I'm glad my notebook didn't crash but needles to say that this unacceptable for a graphic program.

I'm sorry but I have to open this topic again. Even the updated versions of AP and AD still can't open the file, while it takes Adobe Illustrator about two or three seconds(!). No lie! I bought a new NB lately (16 RAM, 256 SSD, Nvidia GeForce 940MX 2 GB, i7) but the result is just the same. While writing this I'm waiting for the file to open in AD on my NB. AD tells me since one(!) hour it's loading a file. Is there any chance that this is going to change in the foreseeable future? I don't like to be at Adobe's mercy.

Done! via DropBox THX for the quick response

I have already posted this issue in the "Bugs" forum but didn't get a reply and I don't know where to turn to, so excuse me that I try again. My problem: I tried to open an big 127MB eps-stock image (Yeah! I know... it's not big... it's a freakin' monster! ) but both AD and AP crashed. I really think that AD/AP do have an issue with the size because meanwhile, I had someone else try to open it on his PC and the programs crashed as well. Additionally, I never had a problem with opening said eps-file in Photoshop. If the file is needed I'd prefer to send it via pm and not posting it here since I paid for it. Working with Win10, 64bit, i7

LOL... Funny, how this topic went from importing brushes to gender politics. :lol:

I'm a lady... :P ;)

No, R C-R, it worked just perfectly the way MEB suggested. This is soooooooooooo easy!!! :D

Solved!!! :D Thanks, guys! :wub: It's Win 10

THX for your reply, R C-R. :) My brushes all have the .abr, so that's not the problem. ;) But in which folder do I store them?

Hi there! :) I just tried to get my topic answered via the search but unfortunately, didn't succeed. It might be me because I'm German - so forgive me if this was already answered. :rolleyes: I bought Affinity photo a couple of days ago because I'm sick of being Adobe's cash cow and still working on adjusting. ;) Well... I made a lot of brushes in PS and am wondering if they can be imported to Affinity photo. THX Plan_B :) BTW... I'm using Win 10
