    Hello Alan,

    Danke für den Link, hat aber bei mir nicht funktioniert, weil mein Treiber die Hersteller-Version und nicht direkt  Intel kommt.

    Thanks for the link, but it didn't work for me because my driver comes from the manufacturer's version and not directly from Intel.

    Original Intel DCH drivers can't install over OEM drivers if the OEM drivers are old and not "signed/certified/WHQL"  (you'll get an error); if this is your problem first you have to uninstall all Intel drivers related to your graphic card until you see "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" in device manager, reboot, then install the latest Intel drivers from their web site. Hope it helps

    Found the solution to my issue with Photo, Designer and Publisher 1.9 refusing to start on a notebook (just briefly showing the startup screen and then closing):

    I had to update the drivers for the integrated Intel graphics device. On my machine was an ancient version of the driver (from 2017), supplied by the notebook manufacturer (HP). In order to override that manufacturer's driver version, you have to manually download the driver for your device from the Intel website and install it manually. Intel refuses to meddle with manufacturer supplied drivers automatically.

    Tks, problem solved.

    If you see Photo, Designer and Publisher just briefly show the the startup screens and then crash after updating to 1.9, try updating the graphics drivers, especially if you have a notebook with an integrated Intel graphics card. Solved the issue for me.

    Thank you very much , problem solved for me too ☺️

    Same(?) issue here. Updated Photo, Designer and Publisher from 1.8x to 1.9. Now alle three fail to start (Win 10 x64), but only on one specific machine: The startup screen can be seen, then vanishes and the app never starts. On another machine all three work just fine.

    Same issue happens on my notebook (Surface Pro 4), no problem on my pc.

    Well personally I have tried a few methods here.  I do not have the Beta 1.9 yet so can not see what Claudio60 has done.  However It would be nice of Affinity could add the colour sampler pickers to the curves adjustment (that is the black white and grey pickers).  Then we could use the threshold accurately.  This is the best manner to colour correct and set white black and grey points which can then be clicked on in the curves dialogue box (at the moment these are not available,)  The white balnace tool adjustment is really redundant and has no purpose, trying to use it is like trying to fly a plane through a tunnel when you do not know the wingspan of your aircraft.  Even using the white balance with the threshold layer on top is also hit and miss, it simply refuses to acknowledge the fact that you have clicked on some grey pixel which the threshold has indicated is grey, looking for the grey point is a disaster, the black point was ok. All in all I think the colour sampler options would be great to have.

     I have never made a feature request, it's not something that I believe I have any right to do based on the fact that affinity's pricing for these apps is more than reasonable, but this one time I strongly believe that this type of editing function hits number one in every photographer's workflow, it is always the first thing all photographers do before they even begin to edit creatively..  

    I've already asked for this feature here, a long time ago...White, grey and black picker for color balance - Feedback for Affinity Photo on Desktop - Affinity | Forum (serif.com)

    You can also simply click on the Photo Persona icon.

    But, as with pressing Done, you'll still have the Liquify Filter layer in your document. You can delete it using the Layers panel. It might be more consistent with other live filters if there were Delete and Merge options somewhere in the interface.

    Tks Walt, but, as you said, clicking on the Photo Persona or simply click on Done without doing anything will lead to an unwanted layer that you have to delete afterwards

  7. Hi firstdefence and thank you for your answer, I knew already what pen tilt is, but I don't understand if it is needed/useful for a better work (hair retouching, healing, masking, etc.) or not; now while after reading the article you linked me I know that in some cases (designer) tilt pen could be a disadvantage, at the same time I didn't learn anything new regarding tilt pen advantages in photo editing to remove my doubts/hesitation. 

  8. Hi Chris, yes it's identical or very similar; in my system this issue appears working with .jpg files and not with every photos; I'm not sure but I think it happens on jpg with at least 4-5 adj levels but ONLY if you zoom in and out (sometimes the issue appears the first time I zoom in, other times after a few times of zooming in/out, in other photos doesn't appear at all);  anyway when this issue is visible on screen and I save the photo as .aphoto file, the "square artifacts/re-draw" are also saved in the file and are visible when I reopen it, but if I export the file as .jpg (when the issue is visible on screen) the exported .jpg file has no errors, no artifacts, re-draw or similar.

    I tried Ron P's files many times zooming in and out, making some adjustements  both in develop persona than in  photo persona but I can't reproduce the issue in my notebook; the only thing I noticed is that when the .cr2 raw file is opened in develop persona the image is rendered washed out and with a color cast for 1-2 seconds starting/rendering in vertical lines from left to right before it renders with correct colors. 

    PS: sorry for my poor english.

  9. Zooming  in and out causes a sort of big rectangle/square artifacts in the entire image; it seems the picture itself is divided in different square/rectangle zones that differ in brightness one from each other (as the rendering wasn't complete in some of these "squares"). This issue doesn't occur if "Enable OpenCL compute acceleration" is set to  off.  My laptop has 2 graphic cards: AMD Radeon 7970m and Intel HD4000 both with latest drivers.
