rui_mac Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Add a new Compound Mask layer to any image/pixel layer. Create a couple or more shapes (circle, or rectangle, or star, or whatever). Place them inside the Compound Mask layer. The image/pixel only shows in the intersection of all the shapes. Now, right click the Compound Mask layer and choose Edit Mask. Affinity Photo 2 crashes!!! Also, shouldn't we have the Add/Subtract/Intersect/XOR options for a shape mask, and not only for bitmap masks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rui_mac Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Oh, and yes, I know that we can create a simple compound with shapes and use that as a mask. But, for consistency sake, compound mask layers should also consider shapes. Or, at least, not crash when the user chooses to Edit the mask.

NotMyFault Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Compound masks works with bitmap mask layers only, not with vector layers. it is a shame that the app crashes never the less. Affinity allows any layer type to be put in any nesting position, many do not make any sense. No safety net, some crashes, lots of user frustration. requests to grey out or remove non-sensical UI elements got ignored for years. Kind of consequential Affinity keeps extending this in V2.

Staff Gabe Posted November 14, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 14, 2022 Can you save and attach the document in that state (just before clicking edit mask)? We're struggling to replicate the crash here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rui_mac Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Open the attached document. Select the Compound Mask Layer, righ-click and choose Edit Mask from the drop-down menu. Instant crash. At least, it happens. watch_crash.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted November 15, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 15, 2022 what macOS version are you running? I tried it on a couple Macs (one Ventura, one Monterey) and they are both fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
