I've been having the same issue with new Windows 11 laptop. I'll try turn off hardware acceleration to see if it helps. Mine happens once on initial startup of AP and doing random edits. It crashes and then after restarting it seems to be stable. Laptop: HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 Laptop 16-f1xxx Windows 11 Pro 64-bit Version: 22621.963 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1260P 32 GB RAM Video: Graphic Device 1: Intel(R) Arc(TM) A370M Graphics Graphic device 2: Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics Resolution: 3840 x 2400

When I do an HDR merge, and try to run a plugin (Nik, GMIC, etc.) they are disabled. I tried to "Rasterize and Trim" and same result... disabled! To make it work, I had to export TIF file and reopen the TIF to do any plugin work. See attached menu screen shots. Is this a bug?!?

I also just saw a video where Photoshop had a "fuzzy" slider for their Color Range selection. This would also be useful. For a new / improved Color Range selection, bring up a mini version of the image and allow "picking" the color to select then use a slider to increase or decrease the color range to select.

The other solution would be... If the app is opening on the last monitor / display where is running previously, then the logo should start there as well since it seems to be determining the resolution / scaling for the app.

I figured it out! So I have a second monitor hooked up to my laptop (BenQ SW271 27" - set to 4k). But, the scaling was set to 200% for the BenQ and the Laptop was 250%. If I have a windows file manager folder open on the BenQ and double click an Affinity file to open AP, the splash screen opens on the BenQ but the app opens on the laptop. It's at that point I have the shifting issue. If I double click the file on a file that is on the laptop display, the splash opens on the laptop and the app as well... and I no longer get shifting in the images. By setting both to 250%, it doesn't matter where I open the files since the scaling is the same on both displays.... and no more shifting. Pics included show setup and splash screen opening via double clicking file.

The laptop is a 4k display and it seems that the fonts are smaller with the 1.10 release. I'm wondering if there was a change to how display resolutions are being handled.

I first noticed this with AF files but also tired with JPG. Open several JPG images. Click on the image that is not currently viewed Click back to original Continue... The images shift to upper left hand corner This is especially annoying when working with similar edits to multiple files. Screen shots show various shifts between images as they move to upper left corner PC: HP Spectra x360 Convertible 15-bl012dx, Windows 10 Home 64-bit, Ver 21H1, Build 19043.1165 16GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 940MX AF Version: 1.10.0.1127

Same issue in latest version. I'm okay with not recording during macros but it would be a nice feature to be able to apply a preset tone map. and no error message or dialog saying that it couldn't be done. Running latest version on Windows: 1.8.5.703

Hey All Thanks for the input. Thought you'd all like to see the final result. Taken with my Note 10+ phone.

That looks like it's working. What I did with the B&W Adjustment is push the reds and yellows to 200% to wash out the underlying color. Then selected a color with the Multiply blend mode. Also created a file with just the colors being considered. It helps but the monitor colors never do match the paint chip samples we get. I guess that's just the difference between on screen vs print / paint!

Nice approaches. I'll give these a try. Thanks!

I wasn't sure how to search for this topic... so started a new one. Pointers to existing topics are welcome! Is there a way for AP to try out color choices for exterior house painting? I've separated out the main body, trim, garage doors, and front door. Then used the color palette from the paint vendor imported to swatches. I created a fill layer for a color and made it a child of one of the segments then set the fills blend mode to "color". It "seems" like that should work but not sure I'm getting the correct rendering of the colors.Suggestions?! Help please! _HouseRendering.afphoto

Ok... I reset the Develop Assistant: Raw Output format to RGB 16 bit. I probably left it on 32 bit HDR when doing some HDR processing. Lately I've been doing raw convert to a 16 bit tif file (not with Affinity) and then use AP for processing. That should be 16 bit... correct?

@Gabe That has been my default... Just going for max resolution & colors. I'll try 16 bit for this workflow since I'm doing a more artsy look in the end. Will see if I get to print if it loses something using 16 bit. Thanks
