    The hardware acceleration is in the performance preferences, towards the bottom. Its on by default and can cause problems with some GPU. If you have problems again, try turning it off.

    Thank you Richard, I turned this off as well ... and didn't see the program becoming slower.
    Makes me wonder what this "acceleration thing" is all about if doesn't help or even leads to problems.
    Probably a matter of lack  of standardisation .
    Thanks again !!

    Have you tried with hardware acceleration off? 

    Sounds like its a virtual memory thing. Maybe use Task manager or Resource monitor to monitor what's going on.

    I'm not a "hardware-accellerator". 
    This is not always a very wise thing to do, as I can read on the 'www' so I never even searched in Windows where I can change this setting.
    However, there's a tool in my Asus ProArt StudioBook called ProArt Creator Hub and there I can set the fan speed for CPU and GPU.
    It has three "levels" Standard, Performance and Full speed.
    I set it back to Standard and now there is no "hanging" any more. Problem seems to be solved ... hooray
    What this lesser cooling has to do with the performance of the CPU itself, I do not know.
    Maybe nothing at all and I'm just saying stupid things?! :S

    zet zo en zo de hardware versnelling uit, daar zijn teveel problemen mee. 
    verder kan geheugen een rol spelen. teveel processen op de achtergrond kan ook meespelen.

    I'm always carefull with too many processes, Norton virusscanner used to consume a lot al performance, but naowaydays this is no problem anymore.
    As picture-finder I use FastStone Image Viewer, but that is lightweigt as well.

    Was this set within Affinity, or Windows settings please?

    It was set in Affinity Photo, see the screenshot.
    In Windows I can see that the laptop monitor uses the Intel chip and the external monitor uses the T1000 card.
     

     

    Anyway I don't know why but the problem doesn't exist any more, maybe a "weekend bug"
    Thank you all very much for your friendly replies !!

  3. After a few clicks or adjustmens, when zooming, and today one time even right after the start, Affinity Photo causes my computer to hang completely. Mouse doesn’t react, neither does the keyboard. Screen is frozen.
    I can only “hard-reset” my laptop by pressing and holding the ON/OFF key.

    After a new start, Affinity Photo will fire up, but after a few mouseclicks the same thing. Slow reaction and then … nothing. I do hear the vent of my processor working harder, so  Photo “does” something but I cannot see a result.
    I've been working with A.Ph. for over a year but the problem exists for a few weeks now. It seemed to become bigger and bigger when I was learning and experimenting with layers and masks and yes, this makes a file much bigger but that shouldn’t cause that kind of huge problem.
    After all I presume you do not develop your software on a  multi-billion pound supercomputer.:)

    I’m using
    Windows 10 (with automatic updates),
    Affinity Photo version (1.10.5.1342), de- and re-installed Photo about 3 times now but no change for the better.
    Also de-installed Designer and Publisher

    Specs of my laptop:

    Processor            Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz   2.59 GHz

    RAM                     16,0 GB 

    Type systeem     64-bits OS, x64-processor

    OS:                        Windows 10 Pro (Dutch)

    Video cards:

    * Intel(R) UHD graphics 630

    * NVIDIA Quadro T1000

    Setting Affinity Photo to work with the Intel graphics card or the T1000 had no effect.

    Can you help me with this please?

  4. Probably too late (hope too) for you Jon, but didn't you find it funny to see how 1 question can lead to so many Oracle of Delphi-like answers?

    I posted it anyway because a Google search led me to this page. 

    In the Develop persona on the toolbar, there is a knob called "Assistant Manager".

    Enable this and a good deal of "initial-developing" your RAW file will be performed. 

    You can still apply further corrections, but the initial and indeed not very motivating "dullness" is gone.
