Just noticed all 3 apps will generate crash reports when they did not crash. Just closing a document, not wanting to save it, Affinity apps register this as a crash.
I had checked the Crash Reports folder just prior, noticing there were no crash reports. Then opened a project, using the Sample document for each, done some minor changes, then decided I didn't want to save, and just closed. Afterwards I inspected the Crash Reports folders and seen a report, each having the date-time stamp showing these were created from my testing just now. Again, none of the apps crashed, they were manually closed by me.

FWIW, I've updated all three simultaneously the last couple of updates, and so far have not had any problems. This was on Windows though.

And as many tutorials are lightroom based,
Probably so if you're looking for LR tutorials. However there's a lot of Affinity tutorials.

Welcome to the forums @Liz123
Did you purchase it from Serif's Affinity Store, from the MS store or from the Mac store (if you're on a Mac) ?
IF from Serif you need to click on the Downloads & Product Keys to access the download.

Folder options has nothing to do with this. It's what the png file specs and Windows Explorer chooses to display. If you export a jpg file you'll see the jpg file has a lot of the IPTC and File info displayed. Not all, but most of it.

Welcome to the forums @Ngarrison,
Not being a Mac user, I done a quick internet search and learned that Mac OS has a system function called Force Quit that is similar to Windows Task Manager.
The reason I mention that, is on Windows I utilize Task Manager to shut down/force quit apps that freeze and will not shutdown. If you can't shutdown your laptop, you need to force Publisher to stop.
Once you succeed in stopping Publisher, then hold down the CTL key, while launching Publisher again. This should bring up Clear User Data dialog. Try checking the box beside Disable Hardware Acceleration, then press the Clear button at the bottom. Publisher should finish launching.
One thing I'm not clear on, completely inaccessible, how so? Does it open at all?
If the above does not work, could you provide a screen recording showing what's happening?

Try installing Microsoft Camera Codec Pack. I've never had to install it. I have LR, and Canon's DPP software installed, and it seems to have taken care of the ability to view my CR2 thumbnails in Windows Explorer.

I noticed the same behavior in Version 1, as @jmsjms described. Version 2 it works fine.

Do you have any current issues with your internet connection? I've had problems over the last couple weeks. My ISP would constantly drop. Sometimes lasting for just a minute or two, then others lasting for a couple days, not constant, but constantly up/down, repeatedly. I could be working along fine, then suddenly it would drop. Then back in a minute, then after a couple minutes drop again. Bad weather could be the problem, but I attribute a poor ISP. I use DSL, only thing available to me.
I spent the past hour testing this, and have not been able to replicate it, ie; no problem with either of them. Pexels however, loads slower than Pixabay.

As far as I can determine, there's no setting/adjustments in any of the Affinity apps. This is a function controlled by the operating system. What OS are you using?
For Windows, just go to All Settings, Devices, Mouse. There you can change the scroll speed.

Can JPEGs contain masks?
I'm not clear on what you mean by contain.
If you mean like a Live Filter or Adjustment Layer, then no. However you certainly can nest masks within JPEG image layers. After all as far as AP is concerned, they're just a Pixel layer.
-
Humm, my post must not have made it.. 😕🙃🤪🙄
-
This is the only way I can replicate this.
- Add the Adjustment Layer above the Background Image
- Select the Group Icon, found at the bottom of the Layers Panel.
-
With the Group Layer selected, apply the Mask, to the Group.
- However look at the icon for the Group Layer. It's at the Far Left. It shows null icon, circle with diagonal line through it.
- Paint Black on the Mask
- Move/Nest the Adjustment Layer inside the Group.
- The Transparency painted on the Mask is maintained.
I think this is a bug...
-
Never mind, I see you're not wanting the overlapping strokes.. 😕

I may not be understanding everything that you're wanting to do. So my video depicts what I think that you're trying to accomplish, and how I would go about it.
Select all the shapes, go to the color pallet, select no fill.

On my PC, Zoom In shortcuts are:
- Mouse Scroll Wheel
- Ctl +
- Ctl =
- Ctl + Spacebar + Dragging
- Ctl + 1 or 2 or 3....
Take your pick, mix and match to whatever works for you. I will say I like how Serif set this up in their apps. Some other apps, we have maybe one or two ways to do this, and the developers decide, and don't provide us with much of a way to modify.
-
@rlratkey, I can not replicate this on any version.
- You are letting the Refine Selection, complete painting the mask?
- You are getting the Refine Selection Dialog (adjustments) ?
- Are you running the MSIX or the MSI/EXE versions?
I tried searching for other reports of this behavior and so far have not located any. You could try doing a Control Run-Up to see if that might fix the issue. Press and Hold the Control key then launch AP. The reset dialog will appear. Second from the top options, Don't Restore Window and Documents, is checked. Uncheck it and see if that fixes it.

I think that lens is one of the newest Canon releases. Since Serif relies on a third party (Libraw) for lens correction, it will be sometime as Libraw only releases updates maybe once every 6 mos. Until then, I recommend using Canon's Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software.

Hi @DRjohn and welcome to the forums.
As far as I know, the programs can only be obtained directly from Serif or from the Microsoft store or Apple store, but not from other resellers like B&H.
Yes, it can be purchased from B&H Photo/Video

@DRjohn, Welcome to the forums,
What OS and Version are you running?
Are you having problems Installing?
Did you manage to get it installed and it's not wanting to launch/run?

In addition to the questions above, just out of curiosity, who/what is B&H?
Fantastic store for photographers!! I've spent a few thousand $$ there

Yes you can EDIT some of the EXIF data. Go to the Windows menu and scroll down to Metadata, make sure there's a check beside it. If not click on it, now you should have a Metadata Panel. See video for further information.
When Exporting an image, at the bottom of the Advanced tab, you can uncheck the box beside Embed Metadata, if you want the Metadata stripped from your image.

It's the same in V 2.2.1. However just checking in V 1.6, it updates, except, the dragging from label is not possible.

I opened the OP image in both AP 2.3.1 and the current Beta 2.4.0.2256.
AP 2.3 reports the size as 4736 x 3132 and shows the smearing
AP 2.4 reports the size as 4692 x 3132 and there is no smearing.
FWIW, Corel PSP opened the image showing the 4736 dimension and the smearing.
