Hey MT_AZ,

I cannot reproduce this. What object do you have selected in the document? It might be worth attaching the document for us.

Also, is it when you actually hit Print or when you click the dropdown and change to Selection? I've tried both ways numerous times.

Hi Chris

I get the failure regardless of whether I have a selection or not. I used the rectangular marquee tool to select a portion of the image or sometimes just all of it.

FILE, OPEN RECENT => title_example.afphoto (no selection)

FILE, PRINT print dialog opens

Set SCALE to 12%, set ORIENTATION to LANDSCAPE, RANGE dropdown => SELECTION (trying to make a selection) => program terminates

If I select a portion of the image with the marquee tool without saving the image, I get the same result

I repeated the process but saved the document with the selection and I still get the same resultTitle_example.afphoto

Attention: New Information:

Doing further work while composing this reply, I discovered that when I OPEN RECENT => title_example.afphoto, the image opens but no layers are automatically selected. All of the above steps were performed without a selected layer. When I manually select document layers, then go to PRINT, the process works well. I tried to resave the document with the layers selected but the save button was greyed out. I then used SAVE AS giving the document a different name and that worked. I was able to print the renamed document successfully. I now wonder if my original document is corrupted( it's attached). Other documents seem to open with at least one layer selected.

It seems to make sense that I might want to deselect some layers while printing, but shouldn't a document always open with a least one layer selected?

Hey MT_AZ,

I've reproduced this now. Your 'New Information' update was truly helpful and is the trigger for me too. That's for this, I'll get it logged with the development team
