AP crashes with more than 20 layers

[Ayzara]

I am a photo/collage artist - I use a lot of layers and files can get large quickly. Never an issue in PS. Today with a little over 20 layers the program stopped responding. It didn't crash, it just wouldn't let me do anything. Once I closed it, I couldn't open it. I had to shut down my entire system and reboot to be able to continue with my project.

 

Last night this happened with about 10 layers. Even after restart the program would not start. I had to repair the program before I could use it. (Reinstall chose Repair option). This took some time and then I had to shut down the system again before I could work.

 

I did not have this issue with the previous release.

Hi Ayzara

 

thanks for reporting this, we shall look into it. Can I ask what sort of layers you were adding? where the all different images or adjustment or live filter layers? was it a large or small image? Any information you can provide will help us work toward improving performance :)

Hi Chris_K,

 

I can provide you with my sample PhotPlus and Affinity projects that can probably show you where optimizations need to be done. Interested?
