The Serif's software hangs without reason, making a load 100% or 25% of my CPU. I am using just very basic tool copy and paste from one part of the image to another part of the image. Because I also do some development, I have always SysInternals ProceExplorer on my traybar. Without any reason Serif's Affinity Photo rises CPU usage to 100%, I got "application stopped responding". After 30-40s I can work further - copy and paste various parts of image from one side to another. Finally I got "application stopped responding" for few minutes. Sorry my patience ended here. This software cannot be used when my work is interrupted from every few minutes with some stupied scheduler inside Serif's software and then I loose all my work because you (Serif!) have to do something in the background. Are you digging bitcoins on my PC???? Stop it, it's forbidden! I need to do some very basic graphic work and I cannot do it with your peace of soft. I hate such developers who develop their software like they would like to dig bitcoins on my PC. Please stop raising CPU when I do not touch nor do not do any heavy operations which do not require that! Serif developers have big farms of graphic cards on their workstations and that's very big mistake - you should work on the same class PCs as your clients do - then you'll see how your soft is behaving like bulterier biting my CPU.

Affinity Designer shows attached bmp files crunched when opened. I tried different bmp files but some of them are shown correctly and some are crunched. Regards Repeller-35x10.bmp Pump-down.bmp Pump-right-s.bmp

Hello, My question is about a license. You wrote that as a person, I can install the Affinity Designer on any number of computers I personally use. But did the license allows me only to use the Designer only for personal/hobby use or also to make commercial work? Can I sell my graphics made with the Designer? Another case - if I will make some graphics e.g. for a conference I organize at my university (as a university employee) - am I allowed to use Designer I will buy for myself? Greetings!
