Unfortunately, after working on a photo this morning, I've found that even turning a layer on and off can result in the spinning ball. Affinity is running from the internal drive, although all my photos are saved externally on drives attached to a CalDigit hub.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did have the channels panel in view. I've switched to Navigator and will see how it goes. I've recently started using channels much more often, so if there's some sort of bug, I hope it can be addressed!

Anyone else having problems with photo on M1 Mac after upgrading to Monterey? I keep getting the spinning ball while saving my progress or applying adjustments. It appears to happen quite randomly. I'm on 1.10.4, and have 16gb ram on the M1 iMac. All the native apps work perfectly well. Having just moved from a 2011 iMac to this one, I've been really happy with how it's been performing, but this is a bit of a concern.
