Id suppose you could have just said this above if you knew what the exact issue was. But yes I read through the important bits and seems like this they moved on to V2 already when it might have been possible enable it back in V1. So nothing will happen and it is intended disable. Surely this could have been handled a lot better with a proper error message in the program explaining the issue instead of it being buried in couple of years of answers in a forum topic. Perhaps something to learn from in the future.

Well all I can say is the reported specs seem to exceed what is listed as requirement.

the additional information just opens up the generic info page on hardware acceleration where its listed that GPU support for Direct3D 12 Feature Level 12.0 is required and my card does support 12.1 so there should not be an issue

I would think Radeon RX 5700 XT is new enough for hardware acceleration to work. Sure its not the very latest but its not ancient yet either.

will V2 be able to export large resolution PNGs or does the same limits as in V1 still apply? If it still applies, will it be improved in the future?

Thought Id give the hardware acceleration a go in AP V1 but apparently I cant. The program states I have unsupported configuration but what it gives me makes no sense. Is this because I run windows PRO? If yes will things like this be fixed anymore or has all development of V1 ceased?

This is quite unfortunate and to be honest odd design choice and seems like others are wondering on it too. Anyway, I have other programs I can use for the conversion. Its just odd that I have to rely on such methods as I did purchase Affinity to get rid of more obsolete and less performant tools.

Hello! Im pretty new Affinity user but so far loving the speed of the program! Now my question is regarding very high resolution images and png format as I often work with 40960+ pixel images and png has bee reliable transfer format between different programs the images go to from image editor (previously gimp and various programs that generate image data and now exploring Affinity Photo as part of my workflow) Now previously I have had no trouble using 40960+ pixel images with png format but Affinity seems to have png resolution capped at 32762px and Im wondering if this is something that could be looked into in the future and possibly the limits could be revised? Could not find similar topic from the forum history so wanted to put this out there. -Goat
