Won’t cancel

Won’t let me cancel!!!!

Photos won’t open

Just got the app, tried to open a photo from my library five times, each time the app crashed. Don’t waste your money.

STRESSED !

I’m so disappointed in this app ! I have the old distressed fx. I did not download from my old one and I guess I should have . I’ve already bought all the filters and textures and it wants me to buy them again ! And I did purchase a few and it’s ridiculous I can’t get help with this app . Steve gave me a code and it did not work ! If I could completely delete the app, maybe I could get it the way it should be. It’s so aggravating to love the app and can’t use if unless I buy the filters again ! But, I’m not going to ! Is anyone else having trouble with app ?

Not able to use photos!

My photo gallery goes black every time I try to bring up a photo. I’ve done everything possible according to instructions. I’m really bummed as this has been my favorite app for a long time.

Great app and update but resolution issue

I’ve used this app for years and it continues to improve in many ways. But one thing I can’t seem to get around is that its output resolution is lower than I’d like. I have 8000x8000 pixel image files that I work on in DFX but when I output them, they are only 4096x4096. If I want to make a large print, e.g. 20x20, i’m stuck!
