Astrophotography bugs found

[BarneyC]

I have to issues to date.

1. When you choose 'Sharpen', Clarity', the screen invariably freezes (not responding).

2. Hit and miss here. This one is VERY important in astrophotography editing. If I choose to remove the background by moving the circle, ticking the 'Sample at handle position', then adjusting the 'Gray', I get a great picture! If I try the same thing another time, nothing happens. See the document I created to show from start to finish what should happen.

Hi BarneyC, 

What video card does your machine have?

Hi Lee,

I don't believe there is any issue with the graphics card. Attached are relevant images. I have a Lenovo C340 ideapad with 20Gb RAM, 1 TB SSD to start with. Inbuilt Intel UHD graphics card.

1. When I first open (or reopen) an afphoto file and go into 'Filters' > 'Sharpen' > 'Clarity' and try to slide on the selection, Affinity goes into "not responding". Then after a short while it works without issues.

2. If I keep Affinity open but close the file and then re-open the same one, go into the clarity, it works fine without the '(Not Responding)' message.

3. If I close down Affinity, then re-open it and re-open the same (or any other afphoto file), the same thing happens every time.

I'm more than happy to have you remotely connect to investigate further.

Regards, 

Barney
