Hi Sackadelic I hope you don't mind me joining in on you thread but I am finding Affinity extremely slow when opening up 14 bit raw files from my Z6 on my 27" Mac with Sierra. stokerg you advised Sackadelic to check Affinity preferences, I also did that and I found a lot of boxes that need ticking on or off and I haven't the faintest clue what they mean. I have attached a screen shot of my preference settings and I would like you to look at them and tell me I need to change anything. Best regards to to you both.

Thanks for replying Lee. My Mac is Sierra 10.12.6, Affinity is 1.7.2 and I am using Photomechanic 5 to import into Affinity. I have clicked to SerifLABS. After I have worked on an image in Develop Persona I then hit the Photo Persona button and it took about 25secs to develop. Is this time normal?

Lee, have you had time to look at my preference settings. Should I be using High Sierra instead of Sierra?

Thanks for replying both of you. Lee I have attached a screen shot of my performance panel and as you can see Metal is disabled. Is there anything else you can suggest I change on this panel? I am using Mac OS Sierra version 10.12.6

It takes about 35 secs on my Mac to develop an image and it is putting me off using Affinity. Is there anyone having the same slow problem as me? Has someone been able to speed up the developing time?

Thanks again for replying Danny.

Thanks for replying Danny, I will wait and see if Serif can solve the problem.

How can I speed up the Develop function. As I mentioned in my previous link it is taking 35 sec to import and Develop a file from my Z6. Does anybody know? Thanks

On my Mac with Sierra, 8GB, 3.2 GHz it takes 36 secs to Develop an image from my Z6...is this normal?

Thanks for the link carl. Has Trump solved the Brexit problem for England yet? LOL

Mac Sierra 10.12.6

I've watched the movies but I would like a print out of the updates. Where can I find it?

The good news is that NX2 will work allowing me to use their u-points for "dodging and burning" areas of the image. Thanks again for replying with you comments

I couldn't find anywhere on NX-D where to make your recommended changes.

Thanks for replying, tried that but it didn't work.
