It goes away... Scrollbar didn't get the memo to move..

The scrollbar is present for me..

I don't find any lag in brush strokes until my brush width gets around 150px or larger. My pc is about 6yrs old now.

Ok, like Walt stated, this will need to be addressed by Serif.

Ok, without having purchased, I don't know what's presented to the buyer.

Not correct, from the store for the Glitch Effects.. My question for the OP is did you download the afassets files or just the tiffs? If you didn't download the afassets files, you should be able to login to your account, go to the Downloads and Products keys, and download them from there.

Welcome to the forums @Kat Cat, "A short time ago".. How long ago was that? Can be important, because updates to various components may have occurred in the background without our knowledge. Windows has become notorious for this. "I used task manager to shut it down". What specifically were you doing when it froze and you had to force quit? There's a difference in Crashing and just freezing up. Generally crashing involves the program suddenly closing on it's own. Please go here and report back with as much info as possible.. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/72-report-a-bug-in-affinity-designer/ You can also try doing a run-up reset. Hold down the Ctl key while launching the app. A reset dialog will open ahead of the splash screen. It has several options to reset. By default the top 3 are checked. Try first with just those 3 selected, press clear. Selecting all of them will restore the app to a newly installed state, thus you will loose any presets you have created. If you do choose to clear all, make sure you have backed up all those first. Could you type Win key + R and enter %AppData% into the run dialog. This will take you to the appdata folder. Navigate to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Designer\1.0\CrashReports. There should be some crash reports in that folder. Zip them up, and upload them here.

This is WARP; Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3darticles/directx-warp

Couple of things come to mind. Your image must be rasterized, ie; a pixel layer. If the layer says (Image), it must be rasterized first After creating your path, look at the left side of the context toolbar, there's 2 buttons. One says Selection. Press it to create a selection from your path. That should get you what you want.

For compound, hold the Alt (Win) Option (I think) for Mac, while pressing the Xor or the Add buttons.

Welcome to the forums @kerryalma, In Windows, to delete nodes in the pressure curve, Right-click on the node. I'm not sure what that would be on a Mac.

I don't know if this may help. I noticed quite some time ago now, where Win10 will have this security block placed on them. I've got into the habit of after downloading files, I will first bring up the properties of the file, then check the box to unblock it before installing. Just might be worth trying. I've never had an issue with Defender causing the problems mentioned in this post.

Your welcome.

I had a look at your Designer file. I noticed that your drawing, had a width of 423.3 px. So I rounded that to 423px and first exported just that, using the option to export selected. I then exported the whole document. Opening the exported jpg files in FastStone Viewer, viewing them at %100 looked fine to me, ie; not blurry. If you enlarge or zoom-in past %100 on raster images, then yes it will start to blur and eventually be pixelized. Even at %200 they didn't appear blurry. If you do what's known as pixel-peep, then you will always find faults. You don't look at actual photographs that have been printed out, by placing the photo at the tip of your nose.

Thank you.

@CPC, yes applying a style gets rid of the background. @Song Palmese, this is very bizarre. The font doesn't matter, I tried numerous, and they all had that background. I've went completely through your file, and not matter what I done, the font background remained. I checked all the blend modes, blend ranges, hiding the layers/groups, still no changing it. This has me puzzled, and apparently above my knowledge.

I've tried replicating this, to the extent of downloading the same font, but not been able to. Could you upload your afphoto file? Maybe there's something that is not showing in your screenshots, someone may find looking at the file.

@martins, You posted this in the wrong place. This forum is for Windows versions and Pre-1.9 versions of Photo. Maybe @Gabe or another moderator can move it to the correct forum.

Tried it with Snap Windows, all 3 boxes checked. Did not have any problems, no black, or blank screens.

I have a problem doing that. When I have an app maximized it does not allow dragging it anywhere, let alone to my second monitor.

All you need to do is uncheck the boxes you do not want to export. Another way of saying that, just check the boxes beside those layers/slices you want to export.

Reverse the order, create your selection with the pen tool first. Press the Selection button to make the path a selection. Then choose one of the selection tools, where you will have the add option to add to your selection.

Where are the NEF files located? Same internal drive, external drive, ect. ? So I would start looking at what's different between your notebook and computer (desktop)? By crashing what do you mean? Does Photo close, freeze? Are there any warnings, dialogs that pop up? Is Hardware Acceleration enabled on your computer? Go to File>Preferences, on the Performance tab, and see if the box is checked beside it. If so try unchecking it to see if that corrects it. Press the Win + R keys and type in %Appdata%, then navigate to Roaming>Affinity>Photo>1.0(Beta)>Crash Report>Reports. There should be a report if not more inside that folder. If you have several of them, zip up the last couple of reports and upload them here.

You only have 3 posts, the forum requires a minimum of 4.

So you paint pixel paths that are labeled as curves, that have nodes and can be manipulated with the node tool? Sounds about like driving hammers with ten-penny nails. 🤔
