Thanks for your help…that was the ticket!!!

The links don’t work. Any way to get them updated?

Making the change to OpenGL made the difference. The patch was applied automatically and did not cause the application to crash. The unusual thing is, AP automatically configured this setting when I installed it. The only settings I have changed on that particular tab was for the undo cache and memory usage, etc. The graphics driver was not changed from the way it was originally installed. But...all seems to work as I suppose it is supposed to for this particular issue however. Thanks for the assistance.

The only file in that location was the .plist file. It is attached. I also have attached the contents of the pop-up that appears after an app crashes for sending the report to Apple. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks. Affinity Photo_DD798B8F-24F9-5116-9B74-92045E1B655F.plist Affinity Photo Crash Report.txt

Except for Retina, our settings are similar.

Not much help. I am not using the same version of OS as you. I have a newer version.

As do I. However when I click to close the selection, the application will crash. I know HOW to use the patch tool...the problem is it is crashing, especially if the area chosen is fairly large, like I said, about an inch square. If you look at the file I have attached, there is a long defect in the center of the male's forehead. When I select that entire area and move to the region I want to have pasted into that area, it will crash.

After making a selection with the patch tool that is larger than about 1-inch square (650mm) Affinity Photo will crash when attempting to move the area into my target area, invariably. I was of the position that it may have been the photo I was working on because it began crashing whilst working on another restoration yesterday. I was able to complete the project after a LOT of restarts of Affinity. However, today I began a new project and 10 minutes into the task, whilst making a patch tool selection, it crashed again. I am working on a 300 dpi (4167x3313) RGB 16-bit photo on a Macbook Pro, Catalina version 10.15.7 with 16GB of ram. I have attached the file I was working on. Thanks, 6.afphoto

Are there any plans in the works to have updated Affinity reference manuals printed. I purchased one of the Photo reference/tutorial books when Affinity first published one, but there have since been LOTS of features added to all of the programs and a handy desktop reference guide at hand, without having to Google every little question I may be foggy on, would be WONDEROUS!!!!
