Thanks , working on both. The first remedy seems to help a little, the second I had done already. Right now running a major maintenance of my Hard Drives. Looking at the speed ?? it can face all day. Regardless : Affinity Photo Rocks !!! :-) Jacob

I often blend layers , for some reason the blend indication in the Layers and the Live mask are different. As you can se it says 'Darker Colour' & 'Normal' at the same time. See image Is this 'normal' ?

After months working with great pleasure creating huge panoramic files ( around 2 Gb each) Affinity Photo suddenly starts to slow down with almost very task. In general my images contain about 15 layers: 3 pixel layers and up to 12 adjustment layers. Maxed-out Mac Mini i7 ( 500 gB SSD HD , 1 Tb Hd , 16 Gb Ram ) - OS-X 10.9 . Affinity version Photo version 1.42 Other applications run fine. I tried to solve with restarts etc. Is there a cache that Affinity uses that might be 'full'? Or any other suggestion?

Well the subject tells it all : Make chafing the brush size a very nifty and much more intuitive operation like Adobe Lightroom can do. J.
