[Photo memory corruption]

There seems to be some kind of serious memory leak and corruption in Windows 11 Photo v2

After opening a file and working for a bit, the visual display will become randomly corrupted.

It can maybe be saved at that point, and re-opened for a while.
However, it can also be permanently corrupted with the memory corruption saved into the file. 
The workaround is to do iterative saves, close down, reopen, and continue working until the corruption returns within a few minutes of working.

Q: is this a known issue that is being worked on?

Thanks

[Smarter Use of Right-Click]

Weird flex by mac people, lol 
I've currently got a mouse with 16 buttons. Not sure why there's such attitude about mouse buttons.

The descriptions need to indicate which buttons are pressed, and in what order.
If actions include pressing LMB+RMB+DRAG, then it should be indicated that way.
(And in the process, suppress the right-click pop-up menu. If you can't do that, stop using the RMB as a modifier.)

When using the pen-tool, 'CLICK' + ALT is used to sharpen the point. But ALT is the modifier, and should be pressed first, before the LMB CLICK.
ALT+LMB or ALT+CLICK would be better
It would be intuitive that SHIFT+ALT+CLICK would do the opposite, smooth the point.
Instead the description says CLICK+RightMouse. If pressing and holding the Left mouse button, and then clicking the Right mouse button, nothing happens.
You have to press and hold the RMB first, then the LMB.
Then while you do that, the right-click menu pops up extraneously in the process.

This all seems very ugly and misbegotten. Just use SHIFT+ALT+CLICK

[Image corruption in display, Win 10, 1.6.4.104, new NVidia driver]

Hi @Jaycephus ,

Welcome to the forums. 

Nvidia rolled an update through the Windows Update system that caused some issues. They later fixed this, but did not deploy it again through the Windows Update, but only through their website. If you uninstall the current drivers and install the latest build from Nvidia's website, you should be fine. 

Let us know how it goes. 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

 

Actually, prior to the problem, I had updated to the most recent driver manually, then noticed that there was an issue shown above a bit later. It also appeared in MS Edge, which I don't normally use.

I just updated to the newest NVidia driver for my system, 399.07, and the problem has been cleared up/fixed.

Thanks.

[Image corruption in display, Win 10, 1.6.4.104, new NVidia driver]

I am running Win10, with Affinity Photo 1.6.4.104, and after updating to the latest driver, I began to encounter image corruption in the display only of all pictures I open.

The picture open in Affinity Photo is a screen capture of Photo, which itself has a different corrupted-display image open within it. 
The entire area of the display, even the non-image area is corrupted, which makes me think there is an incompatibility with the new NVidia driver I have installed.
Tested with .jpg and .png, but since the entire display area has the corrupted display, I doubt it is related to image encoding. 

This only began to happen immediately after the graphics driver upgrade, not after the Affinity Photo upgrade, which was a couple of months ago, or longer, for me.
