Crashes when using refine tool


Recommended Posts

I think this happens when lots of layers or the iPads available ram is getting low. Did you try closing the project (this performs a Save in AP). Then reopen and retry. If still crashing, try doing a hard reset on the iPad. This releases ram. Press and hold power and home buttons until you see the Apple symbol on screen. Around 10 seconds.

I have the same issue and also upon exporting. I have already been doing the "work around". Problem is, I'm having to do it just about every other export. That's is not a fix. That is a headache that we shouldn't have to be doing every other export.

Which version of Photo are you using? Since moving to beta, I can't recall crashing after using refine too. Other minor problems but refine seems fine.

Had this happen too. Doing refine selection to change sky. Locked up twice. Had to shut down iPad Pro (12.9, 512gb), new, so I’m thinking Ram not an issue.  Was able to do refine work in small sections, so perhaps it locks when doing a large area? I was going end to end with a wall photo, so not overly complex. Not a beta tester, just new to AP and iPad Pro.

I'm not on the beta, but would love to be. My Affinty v. 1.6.5

You can apply here :)

Devs are up to 1.6.7 rel candidate 2. I suspect a new store version is not too far off as most bugs identified in earlier betas appear to be resolved. :D

I was told this was an issue with the old version. They say the new version fixes this.... it doesn’t work even with just the original one layer...

Happens when the pencil leaves the edge of the picture. Normally doing a tiny section.

Still same problem and unable to upload problem file. Getting error message which says “the operation can’t be completed” couldn’t communicate with helper application.

Export also does not work to save to Drive but I can “share” to Drive.

Unfortunately I can’t upload the picture I was working on as it was for a friend.  However I have tried it again on loads of other images and it doesn’t go wrong.

 

i will have to try to find other people with white shirts and white backgrounds.

thank you

Sometimes the file can get corrupted. Try saving your file without the history using menu/Save a Copy. Delete the file from the project screen (3bars menu and Close) then Open the Save a Copy version.

@OldnickjI seem to recall the current release has some sort of bug working with google drive. See here....

This happens to me almost everyday. 

 

I would suggest for dev to replicate, try having a document with many layers and the following conditions:

 

For me at least... when I have around 15 - 20 layers, working about through each one, jumping out of one, into the other type of workflow, and accumulated hours (5-6 straight) this scenario, the OP expresses starts appearing for me.

 

It doesn’t not come alone. I also get the marching ant line starts to disappear while it’s up. I have exit the file, then re-enter, and then there goes my marching ant line. 

 

These two two occur together hand in hand with me, if one occurs before the other - it’s already established, the other will pop up, just a matter of time.

I'm on 11.2.6 and not experiencing any issues in AP. IOS beta is most likely the problem.

iOS 11.3 has now been released. Not sure whether it is wise to update if the betas were causing issues.

I’m still experiencing crash after crash even after I deleted AP and all docs related to it. So I started with a blank unused AP public release and still crashing. I cannot rely on AP to edit at all right now. But there is nothing that can beat it in the App Store. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Michael

That's unusual Michael. My AP app hasn't crashed for ages, but I have not updated to iOS 11.3 yet.

What version of iOS are you running on the iPad? You previously mentioned iOS 11.3 beta. Are you still on the beta or the new 11.3 public release?
