Hi I’ve been using Krita for about a year with no problems. However, one of my layers won’t show and when I click it says “waiting for image operation to complete” and loads forever. It does the same for all my other layers. Maybe bc i was using a older version? I switched to the latest update but still no improvement. I use a mac m2.
Hello @Myrtle and welcome to the forum 
Is this version 5.1.5?
Can you post a full screen screenshot of the entire application with the Layers docker fully visible? (It’s the ‘Upload’ arrow icon at the top of the box where you type text.)

If I’m reading the screen correctly, this file is 134 GiB? I wish the bottom status bar wasn’t cut off so we could see the rest of the info on this file.

Cutting off the status bar along the bottom does happen with some people so it may be an aspect of the operating system or graphics.
@Myrtle What is the canvas size and the file colour profile?
How much RAM is being used?
(That information is on the status bar.)
How much RAM does your Mac have?

profile is RGB/Alpha (8 bit integer/channel) and size is 900 x 1100
114.3 Gib is used in the canvas and my mac has 8 GB
Please try the following, because for the dimension of 900x1100 pixels your image has a huge size, occasionally it helps.
Create a new image of identical dimensions, then open your current image in parallel to copy the individual layers into the newly created image. For this, you have to copy each layer in the layers docker of the “problem image” by right-clicking and selecting “Copy Layer” to paste this layer in the new image in the same way, each time by right-clicking on the “Background” layer there and selecting “Paste Layer”.
Firstly, does the image created in this way have the same size, and secondly, does it show the same problem or is it now responsive again when you perform one of the actions that lead to freezing?
If it is now much smaller, responsive and usable again, then you can continue to work with it, if not, then the cause must be searched elsewhere, unfortunately, I currently lack more ideas about this.

That layer (Paint Layer 5) isn’t showing because its visibility is turned off.
Do you click on the visibility icon or do you click on the layer name?
If you don’t click on that layer in any way, can you paint on the other layers with no problem?
There are two different rectangular images showing. Are you using a Reference Image?
For a 900 x 1100 canvas with a standard background layer and five paint layers, if you created this from scratch and simply painted on the paint layers the I can’t understand how the file became so large.
Did you Import anything in any way or was all your work just manual painting?
Two paint layers arent visible even with the visibility icon on, and will load when i click on it. but the other layers seem fine. I did use a reference photo, but all of it was manual painting… I did as suggested to copy the layers onto a new image and seems to have fixed it.
