What is interesting, when I started to restore my brushes on iPad at some point all of them have returned, even those I planned not to restore.

Ok, thanks for everything anyway, fortunately there weren't many brushes, but still, such surprise is something that I would like to avoid in future.

And what about iPad? There's no way to mess with app files...

Is it necessary to make such copy after every brush adding, changing or removing?

Unfortunately, I've already restored my brushes manually. Should I reset brushes anyway?

Nothing more, nothing less as title says. After the update all my brushes vanished. I had at least 10 vector and 15 raster sets, my own and imported. Only Splat survived, I don't know why. No matter if it is Designer or Photo. Edit: It seems that those downloaded from account menu are still there but any that I personally imported are gone. Edit 2: What is more, same situation is on my iPad! All brushes except those from account also disappeared. Sonoma 14.3.1, Affinity from App Store.

Thanks, that’s what I thought. Bummer.

I had a great collection of LUTs on my Mac which are also imported to iPad version. Unfortunately, due to some unexpected circumstances I lost those on my computer. Is there any method that will allow me to share or export in bulk all my LUTs from Affinity on iPad?

After the update to 2.2 and MacOS 14 Sonoma, Stage Manager does not lag anymore. I've just tested it for few minutes, not in real job, for now. JFYI. Edit: I've opened one of my bigger files on base M1 Air and barely see one frame drop, but still, it looks way better than before.

After few MacOS updates (currently 12.2.1) and switching to OpenGL rather than Metal, Affinity Photo became usable again. Unfortunately it isn't as snappy as it used to be at the beginning of the M1 journey. Working on large formats like A1, A0 or bigger still chokes software a lot. But, it's responsible now.

Unfortunately, Monterey 12.1 didn't fixed memory hog on stable 1.10.4

Unfortunately, beta didn't helped. Still entering Tone Map Persona takes forever and eats tons of RAM. However, other parts of Photo seems to be a bit snappier. I guess I haver to wait for Apple to fix memory leak. Photo is unusable for me in this condition. As I'm writing this Tone Map Persona is calculating and haven't reached half bar yet... Edit: This is interesting as f. I've tried to tinker with other, bigger and smaller files and there is no pattern which I choose, some are opening blazing fast and other are choking Photo app when entering Tone Map Persona. Edit2: It happens with large (pixel range) files. When I place 4000x4000 pixel image on A0 it will choke definitely. On A1 it will take some time, but finish and let me enter TMP. My other files, not bigger than 4000x4000 are opening TMP instantly. This was tested on 10.0.4, because it behaves similar on both beta and official. Long story short, something is wrong because before Monterey it always opened my files instantly or in few seconds.

So, do I have to have two separate versions alongside? Sorry for such questions, this is my first MacBook. Or just uninstall beta and install official?

I will try later today with beta. Will I be able to update to stable later when this beta hits stable channel?

I've encountered a massive performance drop in whole application. I haven't been using app since two last updates, bu I've updated Photo since then to latest official version. Today I wanted to edit some .DNG photo from my drone camera, around 18Mb file, but the app is unusable. Constant beach ball on every tool I use, opening "open file" window hangs my computer for 20 seconds, and entering Tone Map Persona takes forever, eating in few seconds 8Gb of memory and still grow, memory pressure says more than 300% to 1600% !!! I've panicked a bit and force closed the app and rebooted. Then reopened it and now it doesn't allow me to enter Tone Map Persona saying that picture is not pixel/RGB even that I've already converted it before... And still it is very laggy to use. Seems broken. How to fix it? Edit: Screenshots from second attempt to run endless Tone Map Persona, because it allowed me to enter this mode. BTW, I'm on latest Monterey official release MBA M1 8Gb RAM.
