Raymondo Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Using brush rotation with version 1.7.1 crashes app. Using either left or right arrow keys rotates but crashes if you try to rotate too much or too fast. Don’t think it’s me, needs sorting soon please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 28, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi Raymondo, What brush (if one of the defaults) or set (bought from third parties) are you using? I'm having trouble crashing the program using brush rotation no matter how fast or how much I rotate them. What's the size of the brush you are using? Does it also crash if you turn Metal compute acceleration off in Affinity Photo Preferences, Performance section?

Raymondo Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi MEB Well they are third party hair brushes. I have to admit I need to test more to see if other brushes do the same. I will try turning off metal compute as well and see where I am then. Will come back to you in due course and let you know if the problem persists.

Raymondo Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi MEB Ok, after testing various things I have discovered what I believe to have created the problem. What I hadn’t realised was that my right hand was allowing my pen to make contact with the tablet while I was looking at the screen. It appears that if you attempt to rotate the brush while you’re pen is in contact with the tablet then the app is likely to crash. Keeping the pen away, the brush seems fine. So, problem over I think. Worth noting if this ever pops up again as a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set the angle with the arrow key looking at the brush preview and if I want to I can rotate with the keys while drawing.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael.Sibley.Art Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Something very similar to this has been happening to me for a few years now using Affinity 1 & 2. I think it is a bug that only occurs when using the brushes in a fairly unusual way, and also it seems a little inconsistent, hence the lack of others noticing it. I do a lot of fast rotating and rapid clicking of brushes to make patterns and marks, sometimes over several minutes, and it pretty much always results in a crash. Here is my old forum post describing the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
