[Affinity Photo Crashing due to Capture One]

I am using Affinity Photo (Mac v1.10.3) and have not experienced any issues until installing Capture One Pro 21.  I immediately noticed that Affinity Photo was practically unusable.  Shortly after opening a raw file, the app either freezes or becomes non responsive.  e.g. I can move any of the sliders such as exposure and see no change.  I have to force quit to exit the app.  My computer also would not shut down properly and nothing I did improved the problem.  Re-installing Affinity didn't help.  Uninstalling Capture One does help, so I assume it's the root cause.

Ideally, I would like to have both applications installed.  Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?  

[What software do you use for gif animation aside from Photoshop?]

I use picGIF Lite), free on the Mac App Store.  You can create gifs from a variety of file formats (.jpg, .tiff, .png etc), video files, and use multiple file types when creating a gif (e.g. .jpg, .gif, and video).  It only outputs as a .gif, no video output option so far.  You can also adjust frame rate, and aspect ratio.  It's a really basic and easy to use program.

[Importing SVG in Designer]

MEB,

Thank you for the reply and confirming this is a software bug.  I am using the evaluation software, so my trial period is going to run out before there is a fix available.  Is there some way I could get notified when a fix is available and then get another trial period to test it?  I really want to switch from Illustrator to Designer, but having SVG render correctly is essential.

 

Thanks,

Erik

[Importing SVG in Designer]

I appreciate the explanation.  Unfortunately, the most efficient solution for me is going to be Illustrator since it imports with no issues there.  I have too many SVG files all formatted the same way to do any kind of manual fix.

[Importing SVG in Designer]

I want to import/place the following SVG file (hlines.svg).  It looks correct in Illustrator.  I can also open the file in Chrome and it looks correct.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is how it looks when imported/placed in Designer:

It is faint, but only the square in the upper left corner appears and it is missing the two horizontal black bars.  How do I fix this?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I open the file it looks similar but I get a long list of layers.  It seems that all of the boxes are being stacked on top of each other.  I can select a layer and then move the SVG object to a different location.  In this example, I moved each of the boxes from the upper left corner, where they were stacked on top of each other.

 

I don't care if the objects are on separate layers or flattened on the same layer.  I am not doing any editing except for scaling the entire image to 30 in x 30 in.  I just need it to look like the image at the top,
