How did this bug report move to the Designer forum????????

1. I develop a Nikon NEF file. Doesn't matter what I do in this step, even if that's just develop as default. 2. I crop it. My subject is square so I normally crop 1:1. 3. I use the mesh warp to bring the corners of my square subject to the corners of the crop, but if I accidentally click and miss the corner (say, I click below and right of the lower right corner), then clicking again to pick up the corner and dragging the corner no longer adjusts the image. Cancelling the mesh warp and trying again does not work. The mesh warp remains fully nonfunctional unless I close Affinity Photo and start over. Closing the photo and trying again does not work. If I don't miss clicking on a corner, I have no problem, but if I miss the small square, it causes the problem. Windows 10. Affinity Photo 2.04, HW acceleration on. Problem did not occur in Affinity Photo 1 (any version that I've owned).

Zubie, Affinity Photo is certainly no speed demon, and it loves to bring everything to a crawl while it calculates. I've learned to shut it down with the Task Manager whenever I lose patience. Sometimes a reboot is needed to free memory. On the other hand, it is easy to use, mostly intuitive (masking is not), more than powerful enough for anything that I want to do, and an outstanding value for such a trivial pricetag. I expect that the speed problems will be addressed with time.

I took it to my local repair shop and had it repaired. It wasn't coincidence but it wasn't fully Affinity's fault either; it had more to do with installer permissions that would have affected most any software installation. Why it happened does not matter, what matters is that we were able to get everything sorted out. Affinity is now installed and is working well.

I have many 20-70 year-old, faded 35mm slides that I've scanned on a high-quality scanner. I'd love to see a tutorial on restoring them. Thanks!

I just purchased Affinity Photo and downloaded the installer on my other computer. Now the computer will not startup. I'm using latest Windows v.7. I assume this is not normal and not desirable. At the moment, I am not extremely pleased, but I still have hope that something can be resolved.
