    I installed the beta, closed other apps, and restarted the Mac. The circular cursor has returned in both 2.5.7 and Beta 2.6. Unfortunately, with both versions the error message of unable to edit in Affinity Photo is back. I have no idea why this issue persists.

    Last Used Application: Affinity Photo 2 2.6.0.2950 Beta: Same behavior/same issue I rather not reset the brushes. Anyway, the beta version does not have any of my custom brushes and the issue persists. Not sure what else to do.

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought you were saying that it wasn’t supposed to open with Command+Return, and that the crosshairs without caps lock was supposed to remain. I have no idea why this change in behavior with Affinity Photo, and Designer after the update.

    Sorry to contradict you, but this is not how any of what I mentioned worked on previous versions. I have already mentioned that caps lock is not engaged and the crosshair engages once you start moving the cursor instead of the circular outline. As to entering editing with the command+return shortcut, it had always worked for me in previous versions.

    Hello Walt. No, I do not have the Caps Lock enabled. The disappearance of the circular cursor for many brush type features to the now crosshairs only is a real problem for me and my workflow.

    I also just updated to 2.5.7 and now have a few new problems, including a solution to not being able to edit via Apple Photos. The first problem is that pressing Command+Return on the thumbnail or preview within Apple Photos will not open Affinity Photo now. I have to click on "Edit," and then within the edit mode, select the "more" menu (3 dots) to select "Edit in Affinity Photo." It won't open in Affinity otherwise. Before, I was just able to select the thumbnail, and then Command+Return to open Affinity. Second, once in Affinity Photo, I encountered a change that I did not like, making it more difficult to edit. The change is that before, selecting any brush would keep a circular (or whatever shape the brush is) shape as you drag and edit with the brush. I use the Inpainting Brush Tool a lot. Now, in the updated version instead of keeping the circular shape of the brush, it turns into a small crosshair. This makes it much more difficult to edit for me. I am attaching a short video clip of the issue. This new behavior is very unfortunate, in my opinion. I truly hope this is changed back to how the brush indicator functioned before.

    Thanks for the update, MEB. I hope this is resolved soon. I only use Affinity Photo to edit all my Apple Photos, and don’t really want to have to create new files to import into Affinity.

    I wonder if this issue is being resolved. To this moment, I am unable to keep the edits made in Affinity Photo 2 when returning to Apple Photos.

    JimB1j, I appreciate your reply. Users should be careful when choosing to repair/rebuild the Apple photo library. Many times it can cause additional problems. Too often well-intentioned users on the Apple forums (and elsewhere) recommend doing this without realizing problems that can arise. Some of the problems can be a further corruption of the file system itself (the very issue the user is trying to resolve), iCloud database may propagate across all devices as a new library requiring the user to have twice the storage needed, etc. Unless the library file is confirmed to be damaged and has permission problems, I wouldn't suggest repairing it. I don't want to get to technical here, but if interested, users can search for the consequences of repairing the Apple Photos library. In my case, I have no issues aside from those that relate to Affinity Photo 2 editing through the Apple Photos edit feature. I appreciate your reply. Thanks.

    Unfortunately, no one replied to my issue stated a few lines above. I am now at version 2.5.5 and now it won't save any editing of my Apple Photos, regardless of how I enter edit in Affinity. The photo opens in Affinity, I edit, and then whether I close the window or choose Save, returning to Apple Photos is the same as before doing any edits. Also, many times when opening an image in Apple Photos and selecting "Edit in Affinity", it erratically opens a different image in Affinity. At other times, after closing the edited image in Affinity, a different image is present when I return to Apple Photos. Sometimes there is also an error message when returning to Apple Photos stating: "Unable to edit with “Edit in Affinity Photo” "An unexpected error occurred." There seems to be an increase in these errors, and erratic behavior when attempting to edit any photo from my Apple Photos collection in Affinity. Hoping someone will reply to this issue with some resolution. Thank you all.

    Well, I have updated to Affinity Photo version 2.5.3, and unfortunately, I have lost all editing capabilities from the Apple Photos. My above post stated that if I right-clicked on a photo and selected to edit with Affinity, Affinity would open, I'd edit, close the window, Affinity would ask if I wanted to save, I'd say "yes", and then Apple photo would have the edit. Now this doesn't happen at all. Pretty upsetting.

    I have been doing the same thing to bypass the error from within Apple's Photos app. If I select a photo and then press Command+Return, it takes a moment to open in Affinity Photo, do my edits, then Select Save, and finally Command+W to close the window to return to Apple Photos where the photo now has my edits saved. Selecting Edit, then the "more" menu selecting to edit with Affinity Photo results in the error the majority of the time. It has been very few times it will not give the error. I have found that the error is more frequent when doing multiple edits, and/or edits that are more involved. This has been the only way I have found not to encounter the error. However, there have been random times (whether the file is Raw or not, large, small, etc.) that once I finished editing and returned to the photo in Apple Photos the edits did not hold and I had to do everything all over again. Just to let you all know, I have experienced this type of error for several years, not just with version 2. I had posted about this issue a long time ago when I was on an older Mac and OS. I have a newer Mac and OS and it still happens.

    Dan, Thanks for the reply. It's a shame that we Affinity V1 owners will have to keep bearing the error issue that was discovered about 2 years ago. I purchased all three Affinity apps: Photo, Designer, and Publisher. and I can not upgrade to V2 at the moment as it is an additional expense after purchasing all three apps, even with the 25% discount. Once again, I appreciate the response.

    Dan, I am using Affinity V1.

    I was hoping that someone from Affinity would update on this ongoing issue.
