I have Photo (only) direct from Affinity, Windows 10 Pro, hardware acceleration on.
-
Results when opening the exported JPG:
- LibreOffice Draw: appears as normal
- IrfanView: appears as normal
- Microsoft Paint: appears as normal
- Firefox: appears as normal
- Photoshop CS6: appears as normal
- Windows Snip & Sketch: appears as normal
- Windows Photos: normal for a few seconds then all (mostly) black. Right-click and select Edit & Create -> Edit and appears as normal.
Issue with Photos?

I downloaded and installed the latest official version of Affinity Photo (1.10).
I discovered a bug. Not sure whether it existed in previous versions. The bug can be easily reproduced.
Take following steps:
1. Create a new document.
2. Add a new layer with a shape (e.g. triangle). Assign a fill color.
3. Rasterize this layer (in order to use the shape for a pattern layer - see below).
4. Create a selection based on this layer (menu option: Select | Selection from Layer).
5. Create a new Pattern Layer based on this selection (menu option: Layer | New Pattern Layer from Selection).
6. You may modify the base pattern shape (e.g. shear, resize, mirror, ...).
7. Now, activate the Move or Shape tools, and click on the original shape layer and/or on the pattern layer. Probably, it's require to click a number of times
8. Bang!! The application crashes!
I'm not sure whether all these steps are really mandatory for the crash, but I it's not feasible to test all possible combinations of these steps. Just executing these steps triggers consistent crashes. Debugging will reveal what actually happens in the code.
Kind regards.

I followed the steps, clicked 20 times every place possible and never had a crash.
Windows 10.0.19042, Intel i7-11700, GeForce GTX 1660Ti (471.41), 16 GB RAM, Affinity Photo 1.10.0.1127, Hardware Acceleration is on.

The first time I tried to use 1.10 the UI never appeared after opening the program. Looking in Windows Task Manager Affinity was listed as a running Background Process. I killed the task, restarted Affinity and haven't had any problems since. Possible an issue over-writing the 1.9 version that was previously installed?

Hi, I have the same problem - some display strange, stretched text and occasionally the entire UI becomes invisible at inconsistent intervals. I will be grateful for your advice.
Please see this topic:
There have been several posts recently from people with similar problems who were using either ASUS Sonic or MSI Nahemic.

I'm pretty certain the latest Nvidia driver is version 471.11.

Looks fine here, I tried several High Pass settings between 0 and 100, Open CL on and off. Adapter is GTX 1660 Ti with the latest 471.11 Studio driver. I don't know what it does, but I also "optimized" Affinity Photo in the NVIDIA GeForce Experience.

Similar issue reported with DNG files from DxO PureRAW, as yet unresolved:

The post by RichardMH contains a link to an entry describing a known issue with Capture One and how to work around it.

Look in Edit -> Preferences -> Tools. What is the "Tablet Input Method"?
-
-
No problem with Photo -> Google Chrome -> Photo.
Wacom Pen & Touch, USB connection.

And a different experience. I have identical results with both mouse and Wacom Pen & Touch using either High Precision or Windows Ink:
Alt-Click samples colors correctly every time from both the canvas and the color wheel. Neither device samples colors from the stock panel. The primary color doesn't change to white, it just doesn't change at all. I'm not sure it's supposed to work in the Stock panel, since the preferred way to Place one of the images there on the canvas is to click (even with Alt) on the thumbnail and drag it to the canvas.

Capture One does not have to be running to cause problems.

CPU and Memory Usage in Task Manager when it stalls?

There have been five major Windows 10 updates since the poster's 10.0.17134. That could complicate determining the source of the problem.

I do not print borderless.

Although I have the Canon Pro 100, I suspect the problem is the same with both. AP centers the image in the "Printable" area of the page as defined by the printer driver. For most printers, this also means it's centered on the page. The issue is the Canon Pro 100 printable area is not centered on the page: it's offset towards one short edge by 2 mm.
Try resizing the canvas to the A2 page dimensions, use the center anchor point. When you print AP fits the canvas to the page even though part of it is outside the printable area.
Yes, That Other Program gets this right.

What works:
- Make a selection
- Create an adjustment layer, e.g., Levels
- Clicking Marquee causes the histogram to change, reflecting the selection area. True even with the yellow triangle showing and the selection brush tool selected.
What doesn't work:
- Make a selection
- Create an adjustment layer, e.g., Levels
- Ctrl-D to unselect, do something else with the image
- Crtl-click on the adjustment layer mask to re-select
- Clicking Marquee has no effect on the histogram, with or without the triangle, hand tool selected or not.

Alternatively, if you already have your masked adjustment layers in your document, you can hold CTRL(Win) or CMD(Mac) and left click on the Adjustments thumbnail, this will automatically create a pixel selection for the area the adjustment affects.
Now, with this pixel selection active, you can tick the Marquee option in the histogram and this will adjust the histogram to show only the area selected.
I appreciate this does not function in exactly the same way that it does in PS, however this is the current implementation in AP. I hope this helps!
This does not work in 1.9.2.1035. The histogram in the Studio remains the same when I check Marquee.
Exported jpg from Affinity Photo turning black after a few seconds

Similarly, I opened Photos, added the folder containing the exported jpg and opened the image inside Photos. No problem found, it appeared as normal without darkening.
There are people reporting this issue with Photos separately from Affinity images:
