Coppernicked

I've been using affinity photo for some time now and have had no problems whatsoever when editing photos taken on my Nikon D7500. I have recently upgraded my camera to a Nikon D850 full frame (45megapixel) which produces much larger raw files (45-80mb), but have also been successfully editing photos for the last 2 weeks, which is the time that I've had the new camera. Tonight whilst processing a photo, the affinity photo app completely crashed without warning. The screen simply went black and I had to turn off and restart the computer. Subsequently, from then on, I was able to open the program itself, but each time I tried to open a photo in the app for editing, it has completely crashed. I have followed other advice and uninstalled/reinstalled the affinity app. I have used ^(ctrl) to reset all of the app's data to the default settings, but it still keeps crashing. The program will open ok, but as soon as I try to load a photo in order to edit it (from any source) the app simply crashes. It completely locks my MacBook and then shuts it down. If I'm lucky, it will restart on it's own. I have tried loading photos using several photo viewer apps, such as view nx (Nikon's own software) or iOS preview, but the result is the same - the app crashes. All my other photo apps appear to be working fine and I can view and edit photos using any number of other programs, such as Photoshop Elements or Capture Nx, so I'm happy it's not a graphics issue. I am running iOS High Sierra on a 2011 MacBook Pro with 32gb ram, a 240gb ssd (used to run the operating system) and a 2tb hard drive (used for storage and about a quarter full). I am also running the latest version of Affinity photo 1.7.1. The only other thing maybe worth a mention is I downloaded a free brush pack recently. Any ideas?

Hi stokerg I've been opening images from view nx which is Nikon's own photo viewer app. I've been using affinity photo for some time now and had no problems using my d7500. I have recently upgraded my camera to a d850 full frame (45megapixel) which produces much larger raw files (45-80mb), but have also been successfully editing photos for the last 2 weeks that I've had the camera until tonight when mid-processing a photo, it completely crashed. I have followed other advice and uninstalled/reinstalled the affinity app. I have used ^(ctrl) to reset all of the app's data to their default settings. The program will open ok, but as soon as I try to open a photo in order to edit it (from anywhere) the app simply crashes. It completely locks my MacBook and then shuts it down. If I'm lucky, it will restart on it's own. When this happens I can't even close the app, it simply freezes everything and forces the computer to shut down. All my other apps appear to be working fine and I can view photos using any number of programs, so I don't think it is a graphics issue. I have 32mb of ram which is the most this computer can have, so it's not a memory issue either.Also, these aren't corrupt files (read only) they're just normal raw files.

I have the latest version of affinity photo (1.7) and have been running it without issue on my MacBook Pro which uses high Sierra. Today it inexplicably crashed whilst editing a photo. The program completely froze the computer and the only way out was to turn off the machine and restart it again. From then on, whenever I try to edit a photo using the program, it completely crashes my computer. Every other program works fine. The only thing that has changed is the size of the raw files I'm processing as I have recently bought a new camera which is 45 megapixels. The computer itself has the maximum memory it can have and has a 240gb ssd with an additional 2terrabite hd. Is this likely to be a problem with the affinity photo application or could it be a computer graphics problem? Should I uninstall and reinstall the application?

I have just bought a Nikon d7500 but cannot view any pictures taken in raw. I have downloaded the latest raw update for Mac but both Affinity photo and Photoshop Elements 13 show the files as read only. Anyone any ideas. Lance
