Hi Lee, yes still having issues! I’m working on a project at the moment on the new version and it it can’t seem to cope with simple tasks...and then spins the wheel of death and I have to force quit! At least it enables me to open a recovery file!

Hi Lee, Not as much actually but that may be because I'm not using it as often at the moment..I have been using it mostly on a iMac from 2014 so it could be that is the issue...though the original version is fine on the iMac...thanks for getting in touch..

I wish I had explored it with the trial version instead of buying it...but because I love the original Affinity software, I trusted it would be a fantastic upgrade as advertised...though so far I haven’t seen the benefit of the Affinity 2...

Hi again, another issue with Affinity 2 is that it keeps quitting unexpectedly! Oh dear...I’m not sure the upgrade is as good as the original...the original version seems to be much more reliable..any thoughts would be appreciated. If I keep finding issues with the new version I may have to go back to using the original version...

Hi Walt thanks for your help. That’s a good idea about copying and pasting the work...thanks I’ll try this and see if it works..

Also since opening this and saving it in Affinity 2 I now can’t open it in the original Affinity software. Aaaah and I need to get a job done asap! Thanks again for your help.

Hi there, I recently bought Affinity 2 and am having issues with it already! (the wheel of death while trying to use the blur brush tool - it doesn’t work on either of my computers, my old iMac Intel or my brand new Macbook Air M1). I’m unable to blur parts of the photo with this tool. I’ve tried it in Affinity Designer 2 and Affinity Photo 2 on both macs... Is anyone else experienceing this? Maybe I’m doing something wrong but can’t fathom it if I’m using a brand new mac. Thanks for your help UkeyD

Aah brilliant! I was trying to work this out too! Thanks so much! UkeyD : ))

Sorry meant to quote you, just geting used to this system as I don’t use it very often! Incase you missed the last message "I tried it but the text frame was greyed out and wouldn’t let me change anything. I re-drew the circle and text as it was quicker than trying to figure out how to delete the colour in the circle. It would be good to be able to change it for future but still unclear how to do it. Thanks again.”

Thanks Walt, I tried it but the text frame was greyed out and wouldn’t let me change anything. I re-drew the circle and text as it was quicker than trying to figure out how to delete the colour in the circle. It would be good to be able to change it for future but still unclear how to do it. Thanks again.

-Hi Phil, I am having the same issue but I can’t see the reply to your question from “Move Along People.” Did you find a solution? Thanks Mog

Hi Errka, Thanks so much. I googled and found this too. If you select the whole group and click on the group with the pen tool , the stroke palette appears and I could then check the box from there. Thanks for your help and to Rory Townsend who made this helpful video. Best wishes UkeyD

Hi there, I notice when I shrink a grouped object and there is a shape with a stroke, (with or without dots and dashes) the stroke doesn’t shrink with the rest of the grouped objects so I have to manually adjust the shape independently from the rest of the group. I tried googling for help but and coverted to curves as suggested but still no luck. I don’t want to have to rasterise the group as I want to keep the potential for all the objects in the group to be editable and keep as Vector. This is also an issue when importing a Vector logo from Affinity Designer into Affinity Photo. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks UkeyD

Hi Jeff and Mark, Thanks for your help. Ukeyd
