Crop & Select tool stops working


Recommended Posts

After opening a third Raw image in Affinity Photo, the crop and select tool decide not to work, (It freezes). Other parts of the programme seem fine.  I have to close the programme and re-start it. As I need to edit many pictures a day for a living, it's getting really frustrating. The Image below is only the second one I tried to edit and the programme froze.

Hey Peely,

I cannot reproduce this. 

As HVDB Photography has suggested, could you do a recording so we can see what's happening or attach your images and tell me exactly what steps you're taking?

I opened 15 images and could happily crop them all numerous times without any hiccups.

It works ok when opening JPG files, It's when I open RAW files from my Nikon A1000, which is an NRW file.

Would you mind uploading one of those NRW files , or provide a download link so we can have a look at ?

Hi @Peely

Like Chris. B, I can't reproduce this either.
Works great for me.
As seen in the attachment, I have 4 RAW files (among yours) open, all 4 cropped.

Strange !!

The layer is locked, but when I lock mine it still works ...

I suppose you don't have problems with other tools when using the mouse (I'm thinking of a possible wrong behavior (defect) of the left mouse button ??) ?

Windows Ink does not work well with Wacom Tablets

Try switching it off

Also switch off High Precision Tablet Input in Preferences > Tools if that is selected.

 

Restart Affinity and try again

Yes, unplugging my Wacom tablet solved the problem but as I do a lot of surreal compositing, a tablet is a must, as editing with a mouse is like painting with a fish. I will have to revert back to Photoshop which is a shame. As you can see in the image below, It would be really painful putting this image together with a mouse.
