Yes, but AI exporting works perfectly fine for this sort of items without rasterising. This is a bit frustrating, since those effects are really helpful in many cases, and microstocks do not like anything that is rasterized in an EPS.

Here we are. untitled.afdesign untitled.eps

The issue with 100% CPU (and thus, lags of the whole system) is really here. My case: - Create new artwork 1280x800. Draw something. Everything's pretty smooth. - Open that "Tiger Club" or other complex artwork and switch the tab back to the 1280x800 artwork. - Draw something... Quickly zoom out and in, draw something faster. - The system starts to lag as if I was working with the complex artworks instead of the one which is simple. And sometimes (though very rarely) the editor lags the system even with just one plain simple empty artwork without anything other opened (once you draw something).

Hello, At least in my example, there were two layers masked. The one with overlay effects on top, and that's it :) I think this is the problem.

Hello, Sample pattern, this is how it looks like in AD: https://s.vadimyer.com/3e6353b0-4776-4379-b8c4-44ddcf448310.png Document's color settings in AD are: CMYK/8 or RGB/8 - doesn't matter it's the same :blink: This is in AI: https://s.vadimyer.com/44b47b56-745d-4922-ba3f-23d2f17eacda.png In Illustrator it doesn't matter what color I choose to proof on (sRGB or CMYK) the color is always the same... It's really strange. But I think since I see the same colors in AI & Web, they should be the right ones. However, changing colors in AD leads to no changes whatsoever.

Hello, So the problem is as described in the topic, nothing less/more. =) Also, in AI there was an option to select EPS version. Correct EPS export is **very crucial** for producing the right artwork for microstocks.

LOL yeah, AV is showing some news at the wrong time. I think the only things which used CPU at that time were Affinity, Chrome and video recorder :)

Hello, I got plenty of RAM, yeah, 16 GB. Here's the video, even with the editor's window resized down it's still choppy (video recording eats some resources too): https://youtu.be/LXWfmtjsY7o (if it's of low quality, watch it later, since youtube is producing the 1440p and above for a very long time).

Hello, I found that specifying affinity for Affinity :rolleyes: Like 4 CPU out of 8, makes it use no more than 50% of CPU, obviously. And there's plenty of resources available for other tasks. What's more interesting, overall editor's performance remains the same, at least it looks like it. As for panning, I have an SSD, and the graphics card is GTX 750 Ti KALMX. Panning is smooth most of the time, but of course not with huge artworks or when there is some more documents opened. Offtopic: what graphics card would be a total beast for Affinity? :D

Hello, I've downloaded one of the beautiful samples "Tiger Club", that is a vector artwork, 100 Mb. 1) Just scrolling/zooming through the artwork causes 100% CPU spikes and the whole system (like audio being staggering cause of that) to lag at those moments. My monitor's resolution is 3440x1440, editor is at fullscreen. The resolution (as I've discovered) is the part which presumably causes these lags. Resizing the editor window to something like 1920x1080 and scrolling through the same artwork causes spikes up to 50-60% only, and the whole system doesn't lag anymore. Please bear in mind, that I have latest i7-6700 as well, which is 4 physical cores, 8 in HT. I thought Affinity does GPU acceleration though? 2) Opening more complex artworks tend to increase the overall stability of the editor, it's like... Imagine having an old browser which is running all tabs as one process, same lag here. I think Photoshop tends to work with multiple huge files OK. 3) Once again, panning the artwork almost always isn't smooth, but choppy. Thank you for such a nice, beautiful editor on Windows! It's still *much* smoother and faster than Illustrator, but I just hope I can listen to music while working fullscreen without any hassle =)
