[Unexpected slowdown Affinity Photo]

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 !!! :-)

[Bug ? Different Layer Blend mode indication]

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' ?

[Unexpected slowdown Affinity Photo]

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?

[Change brush size like Lightroom can do]

Well the subject tells it all :

 

Make chafing the brush size a very nifty and much more intuitive operation like Adobe Lightroom can do.
