Affinity Photo not rendering well at all

I opened an existing file today and couldn't see things right, and haven't been able to reopen, render layers, move them, copy them into new documents etc to get them to behave again. In the video link above, you can see that if I hide then show a layer, it displays correctly briefly, then breaks. And, if I zoom in/out, it may briefly display correctly. If I rasterize & trim the layer, it looks as displayed--wrong.

I attempted to save a version of this file to share here, but it errors every time "Save failed due to an internal error." I was, however able to export a PSD, but no idea how well (https://mega.nz/file/bchX2bwZ#Vh-HS6t17gEB2Up96EPlkwRC_icRsG06w7bf4ci3J_A)

Affinity Photo 2.5.3 on Windows 11

Hi @xicus,

Unfortunately, the PSD file is effectively blank... it contains a white fill layer and an empty pixel layer...

Could you upload the last saved version of your Affinity Photo file so we can see if it's salvageable and can be opened and resaved... From your description, it sounds as though the file may be corrupt but being able to take a look would help greatly

Hi Xicus,

If you can provide a copy of the file in question as Hangman has requested we should be able to look into this further with you and hopefully get the file repaired however we can't guarantee that every file is recoverable.

You should be able to upload the file to the following DropBox link:

Thanks
