[Merge from visible takes a looot of time]

Hi stokerg!! 

I don't know what has happened but now it works ok. I've tried with the same raw picture, and it works as it should. Maybe I accidentally changed something in the configuration (as I'm learning the software) and that could've caused the problem.

Thank you so much anyway. 😀

We can close this topic as it's been solved.

[DAM - What are people using?]

I'm currently using XnView MP. It is free and shows the previews from Affinity Photo. It also lets you tag your pictures with stars and colors. For more serious stuff I use Capture One as my RAW software and DAM, and then I export pictures to Affinity if needed. They work well together.

[Merge from visible takes a looot of time]

Hello everyone, this is my first post here so I hope I'm doing it in the right place.

I've recently purchased a copy of Affinity Photo and I'm doing my first editions with it. I've noticed that when I use the option "merge from visible" with a picture which has a couple of layer adjustments applied, it takes about 30 seconds to merge it. I did the same process with PS, same image with a couple of layer adjustments and it took it about 3 seconds.  I'm working in the same conditions with both programs, 16 bits, a 24 megapixels picture. Am I missing something about the configuration? Is it a bug?

Thanks.
