I've been using all three Affinity programs for a while but recently they just won't open. Sometimes after trying and then quitting them several times they may. Sometimes if I shut down and restart they may open. But generally speaking at the time of writing none of them open, none. I don't even get an initial loading screen. When I check how the are loading they all come up as "Application not responding". When right clicking the app on the dash it shows "application not responding" then trying to open from the finder i get "The application XXXXXXXX is not open anymore". I never get to a point of a crash report so can't send you anything. The designer and photo are both version 1.9.2 publisher is 1.8.6. I am running a mac mini (late 2012) Catalina 10.15.7. It is very annoying as I am in the middle of work but can't access anything!

I'm trying to creating an infinitely zooming picture that zooms in on the mean mugging baby's eye. I plan to write some code that zoom's in on the baby's eye, and once the zoom get's to a certain point, I will place the original picture overtop of the picture in the eye. To do this I have to make sure the original picture, and the picture in the eye have the same background, so I'm creating a rectangle with the right proportions around the baby, and then trying to scale it down until I can select it and copy the content that would be around the baby inside the eye, but when I scale down that low, the proportions can't scale down accurately enough because they must scale at even numbers for pixels (no decimals), when I scale back up, the rectangle doesn't fit properly. The video attached shows what I'm trying to do. ------------------------------------------------------------------ When I try to increase the size of the image past 45000 pixels, my computer freezes up. Is there anything I can adjust to fix this?
