Thanks - sounds like a bug then, you probably had some keyboard shortcut modifications stored, so didn't load in the new default. We'll look at that.

Lots of work, and not enough time Thanks for the support!

It is in there. I wonder if you have any customisations it may be preventing the new default from appearing. We should look into that as a separate issue. Can you look in your Preferences | Shortcuts, then Designer | View, and Reset those shortcuts (be aware this will erase and reset any existing shortcuts, you may want to copy your beta folder in %APPDATA% first).

(Original link for ref: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/124272-opencl-v190734/) That's interesting, as your hardware is exactly the same as mine. Are they the latest drivers?

Both a trackpad and mouse provide delta movements, so alternating between them won't make a difference to the experience. With a Wacom pen, the position is absolute, so using the mouse you would never be able to "move" the cursor, as the Wacom pen will always set the absolute position of the cursor.

I think this is because we look for the actual character, not the physical key (which is why the shortcut stops working when changing keyboard layout).

That might be more difficult as the workspace layout is unrelated to sticky settings...

Sorry I meant to list this as a “known issue”. If hardware acceleration is disabled, some of the brush previews are failing to draw.

Yep, and the new version is available in the latest build of Photo.

I've just tried this, a 20MP image with a Levels Adjustment, enabling and disabling the Levels Adjustment doesn't change the memory usage. Could you possibly provide a video, or some other steps to reproduce?

Doh! It got added to Photo only. No good reason, should be in Designer too. Will fix for next build.

Is this build 767?

Can you try the latest beta?

Thanks @krbo, that's interesting. The benchmark suggests your performance is 7X better on GPU than CPU, so I'm surprised you're seeing much worse performance in the real world.

Interesting - what are your benchmark results?

Great - can you share the file?
