As an Olympus user of some 40 years standing I've been watching the OM1 camera progress since it was first announced a few years ago. My attempts to get to hold one of these and try it out at one of the OM systems north UK stockists has proved fruitless. I'd be interested to hear if anybody has been able to obtain one of these cameras from a European OM agent. Sorry for the deviation from the main topic which I'm now following with interest. Peter

My genuine sympathy. I have suffered about 5 major dodgy Win 10 updates this year that have caused me a lot of grief. They took hours to sort out but I did get there in the end. There is a specific reason why I had problems that others didn't suffer, but they should not have arisen with a properly constructed update. I suggest you are best advised to go the the Microsoft support forum and post your predicament there. There are some genuinely knowledgeable people on that forum who will help with a pretty drastic problem like yours. The new app will load and run; your problem is the log of preexisting programs has not made it through to Win11 I always wait for quite a long time before installing major upgrades for exactly this sort of reason. Hope it is sorted out shortly.

Once again thanks everybody. I had stored the work in progress in AFphoto format and so it was quite easy to retrieve the image plus selections. I had deselected the selection before saving. I've just tested it and you can save the image with the selection still selected and retrieve it still selected. Useful new information for me. I ran a test selection on the retrieved image. First of all I deleted all layers with the exception the original cropped image plus a locked copy. I then did a quick rough selection. I copied this selection no problem. I then inverted the selection and copied it just as I expected. This was very different to my experience yesterday. Even if the image magnification was such that the image protruded over one edge and hid the marching ants off the viewable area I would still have expected to be able to make a copy. I was definitively not able to do this. Anyway I have a workable way forward even if something fairly minor has changed in the upgrade In case it is of any relevance I did crop and adjust the image before development and had done no saves or reloads before running into the problem. Thanks again to all who responded Peter

Thanks for the comments I spent quite a while looking at this. I did reduce the scale factor so that the entire cropped image was showing complete with a small border. My initial selection did extend to the edge of the cropped image. I even tried modifying the selection so that the selection was complete and fully withing the cropped image border. I fully accept that these complex programs are full of peculiarities but I have used this workflow many times without any hiccups and I'm pretty confident that artifact I'm describing here is new to this update. The problem only occurs when the selection is inverted. Not inverted everything appears fine. Peter

Hi I couldn't find anything about this issue. Maybe just missed it. I've just updated to ver 1.10.0 and tried to process an image. A workflow I use a lot is to start by adjusting and developing a raw image (often including cropping) and then masking the primary subject using the selection tool and taking a copy of the selection. While at this point I usually invert the selection (Cntrl Shift I) and take another copy for potential future use. This would then form a save point. Using 1.10.0 the inverted selection seems problematic. The marching ants only appeared on three sides and I was unable to take a copy. This may be an already known bug or perhaps the format of the invert instruction has changed. Any assistance much appreciated. Peter
