When I try opening this image in Affinity Suite, most of the image is missing, like some layers would not be visible.

Hi everyone, After a recent windows update, Affinity Photo won't open. I read through the FAQ trying various things to solve the problem including trying to uninstall which proved problematic and reinstalling which I have been unable to do. I rolled back Windows and managed to reinstall but had the same problem once Windows updated again. Pasted below is the setupUI.log. Any help would be appreciated. +Startup: 2020-10-08 8:49:53 PM +OS version: 10.0.19041 +ProductName: Photo +ProductType: Retail +Opening HKLM... + OK +Opening registry key: 'SOFTWARE\Serif\Affinity\Photo\1'... + OK +Reading registry data... + Photo Install Path: [not found] + Photo Desktop shortcut: 1 +Getting ProgramW6432 environment variable... + OK +Install path not found, using default: C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo +Opening MSI database: Affinity.msi +Opening database view: SELECT `Value` FROM `Property` WHERE `Property`='ProductVersion' + OK +MsiViewExecute + OK +MsiViewFetch + OK +MsiRecordGetString + Value: 1.8.5.703 +Opening database view: SELECT `Value` FROM `Property` WHERE `Property`='ProductCode' + OK +MsiViewExecute + OK +MsiViewFetch + OK +MsiRecordGetString + Value: {E0A227B9-8299-48C6-9FB2-71140FEF82B4} +Install state: -1 + IsThisVersionInstalled: False +Opening database view: SELECT `Value` FROM `Property` WHERE `Property`='UpgradeCode' + OK +MsiViewExecute + OK +MsiViewFetch + OK +MsiRecordGetString + Value: {21399BDD-4C2C-4565-9426-410BDC894DA7} +MsiEnumRelatedProducts: 259 + IsAnyVersionInstalled: False +ProductCode: {E0A227B9-8299-48C6-9FB2-71140FEF82B4} +ProductVersion: 1.8.5 +InstallType: Normal +Initialising main window... + OK +Main window loaded +Unhandled exception: + Message: The image data generated an overflow during processing. + StackTrace: at System.Windows.Media.Imaging.ColorConvertedBitmap.FinalizeCreation() at System.Windows.Media.Imaging.ColorConvertedBitmap..ctor(BitmapSource source, ColorContext sourceColorContext, ColorContext destinationColorContext, PixelFormat format) at System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage.FinalizeCreation() at System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage.EndInit() at System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage..ctor(Uri uriSource, RequestCachePolicy uriCachePolicy) at System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage..ctor(Uri uriSource) at SetupUI.MainWindow.UpdateImage() at SetupUI.MainWindow.OnLoaded(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) at System.Windows.RoutedEventHandlerInfo.InvokeHandler(Object target, RoutedEventArgs routedEventArgs) at System.Windows.EventRoute.InvokeHandlersImpl(Object source, RoutedEventArgs args, Boolean reRaised) at System.Windows.UIElement.RaiseEventImpl(DependencyObject sender, RoutedEventArgs args) at System.Windows.UIElement.RaiseEvent(RoutedEventArgs e) at System.Windows.BroadcastEventHelper.BroadcastEvent(DependencyObject root, RoutedEvent routedEvent) at System.Windows.BroadcastEventHelper.BroadcastLoadedEvent(Object root) at MS.Internal.LoadedOrUnloadedOperation.DoWork() at System.Windows.Media.MediaContext.FireLoadedPendingCallbacks() at System.Windows.Media.MediaContext.FireInvokeOnRenderCallbacks() at System.Windows.Media.MediaContext.RenderMessageHandlerCore(Object resizedCompositionTarget) at System.Windows.Media.MediaContext.RenderMessageHandler(Object resizedCompositionTarget) at System.Windows.Media.MediaContext.Resize(ICompositionTarget resizedCompositionTarget) at System.Windows.Interop.HwndTarget.OnResize() at System.Windows.Interop.HwndTarget.HandleMessage(WindowMessage msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) at System.Windows.Interop.HwndSource.HwndTargetFilterMessage(IntPtr hwnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, Boolean& handled) at MS.Win32.HwndWrapper.WndProc(IntPtr hwnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, Boolean& handled) at MS.Win32.HwndSubclass.DispatcherCallbackOperation(Object o) at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.InternalRealCall(Delegate callback, Object args, Int32 numArgs) at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.TryCatchWhen(Object source, Delegate callback, Object args, Int32 numArgs, Delegate catchHandler) at System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher.LegacyInvokeImpl(DispatcherPriority priority, TimeSpan timeout, Delegate method, Object args, Int32 numArgs) at MS.Win32.HwndSubclass.SubclassWndProc(IntPtr hwnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam) + Inner message: Overflow or underflow in the arithmetic operation. + Inner stackTrace:

PLEASE HELP: All Affinity Products Stopped Opening on Windows 10 I have a Surface 7 Pro with 2 external monitors and have been using Affinity products on it for some time. I've purchased all three Affinity products and been quite happy with them, up until now... Went to open them today and none of them will open, all have a very brief loading cursor then nothing at all. 😞 Nothing in: %APPDATA%\Affinity\Designer\1.0\Log.txt 0KB %APPDATA%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\Log.txt 0KB %APPDATA%\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\Log.txt 0KB Windows 10 20215.1000 Intel Iris Plus Graphics 27.20.100.8681 Affinity Designer 1.8.5 but also affects Affinity Photo 1.8.5 and Affinity Publisher 1.8.5. All were working just fine up until today. I've restarted several times. Tried without the external monitors attached. Etc. Nothing seems to help at all. I have none of the known third party apps that cause issues. I replaced the Intel Iris Plus graphic drivers with the latest version from Intel and that did not help either. PLEASE HELP I have work I desperately need to do and I can't even get any of the apps to launch anymore. 😢😭 I need to get this working again ASAP. 🙏 If a developer needs to access my machine remotely to debug that can be arranged.

We have a file that is not opened by Affiinity Photo 1.8.4. It claims to open it, but even in 10 minutes, it is not opened. 378123zip.tif

Hello Affinity Team, have discovered a curiosity in the filter (Filters > Noise > Deinterlace > Even Rows & Odd Rows)! As you can see at the beginning of the (Video) example, the deinterlace filter is executed correctly up and down. But as soon as I rotate the image by 90 degrees, the effect of the filter is also rotated by 90 degrees and instead of horizontally, it is executed vertically! For me it looks like a bug!

Hello, This error often happens when I stitch panoramas of flat surfaces. I use this a lot in documenting paintings, murals, etc. 99% of the stitch will be fine, but there will often be a little section near an edge where it completely misaligns. I have tried to use the mesh warp tool, but can't seem to resolve it completely. Thank you for any help. John mural_photo_with_mistake.afphoto

I have been getting strange effects happening when I use the live perspective distort filter. In this example I have text with a outer glow effect and have used the live perspective filter. You can see a strange box at the bottom right. Its not consistent either. As I move around and zoom it changes. Its not just a screen rendering issue. When I export to image file it also shows up. I have included the Affinity file here so it can be looked at: AffinityBug.afphoto Details: Affinity Photo 1.8.4 on macOS Catalina. I have the same issue on two separate Mac computers, additionally the same rending issue is there when opening it in Affinity Designer as well as Photo. AffinityBug.afdesign

In the books there is any explanation how to get the resources?

Affinity Photo's Tone Map is awesome good and I use it on each of my landscape images. - It has only one thing to be complained, and that's the noise introduction. If possible, it would be very welcome if that could be reduced in future versions. Thanks in advance!

Redbull´s magnificent Lockheed P38 Lightning was at the Hahnweide airshow, way back in happier pre-corvid times. I took a picture with the intention to draw her at some point, however during the research I found that Redbull´s website had professional pictures, much better than those out of my crappy cellphone camera. Free to download, so I used one of theirs.

Feeling a tad Bladerunnerish at the moment and at the same time I have waaaaay too much time on my hands.

Erase White Paper Tips and Tricks. Affinity Photo video tutorial showing several ways to use the erase white paper filter.

Hi. When adding an overlay on the Develop Persona you see it as a red color. That color disappears as soon as you start adjusting the picture. Is there any way to show that red color again? I have my Master overlay, and added three other Brush Overlays (see image). But now there's no way for me to know which one is which, because when I click in one of them there is no visual feedback on the image. It would be great if the red overlay color would show up when you select the overlay. Thanks.

I have a logo I've been working on for a client and was almost finished, just waiting on some more feedback. I received feedback today and went to open the file and it says that it's corrupted on my mac hdd and the same for the backup copy on my usb drive. I even tried opening it on a windows machine and same issue. Please help, I really don't want to have to start from scratch. Is there any way to recover my work? Yukon Leatherwork Logo.afphoto
