    ianrb got a reaction from Lee_T in why does brush slow down?   
    I think have isolated the problem to the pen/table so it's likely worth a separate thread .
    Don't mind if this one closed now Lee

    I posted this before, but seems it was missed. I forgot a question mark so I'm sure that didn't help... this benchmark is specific to Photo and will let us know what should be realistic for your situation. (Edit: More accurate statement)

    RAM usage can be found by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, clicking "Task Manager"... and it is under the Performance tab on the left:

    Now I feel miserable 😩 
     
    Any reason to give such a comment? It really depends on the intentions of the OP (which you don’t know. Does he intend to preserve as much from the source, or tries to get a cleaner but somehow artificial result), and his level of experience what works best for him (which you don’t know, too). So nothing much to learn from your comment, except your personal preference (and we don’t know if they have anything technicality to do with the given question and posted possible solutions).

    On a (slightly) more serious note. FWIW & IMHO I vote for water replacement.

    Reset was probably overkill and not needed, but it would certainly have worked

    The file in your post imports just fine in 1.10.4 for me, using the Import icon in the Macro panel.
    From that error message, I would check the level of Affinity Photo that you're using, and also I might try downloading the file again, in case your download didn't work correctly.

    nothing special.  Lumix Fz300 ---  have to love the versatility of that one even if the quality is not up to the Oly Em1

    ianrb got a reaction from Ron P. in Affinity photo very slow #2   
    Thanks Ron, not sure I want or need to uninstall again . Have tried to do just that quite a few times over the past months 
    My computer guru said we should not have to do all that after Revo uninstall . He deleted the empty folders and one took a long time to delete so he guessing that was 'the problem' . Even his Pro version of Revo wouldn't remove it

    ianrb got a reaction from Dan C in screen / panel locking   
    Thanks Dan, likely one of those little rattles in a car that never rattles when paying a mechanic to find it .
    I did ask the same question on Olivio's Fb page with one saying it has happened to them. 
    I will do some more "watching" and get back to you
    Would have an JPG from a DNG from an ORF . DNG because Lr5 doesn't read the newer raw ORF. I open DNG as a JPG in Affinity >save as a TIF/layers in windows as a backup ----  that is so much faster than saving the Tiff in Lr5 . I'm past the days of needing BIG files/images/photos --- it's all gone rather over kill in my older opinion .
    Cheers

    Hi @ianrb 
    I've tried replicating this issue here and I'm not seeing the same behaviour, does this occur in any file for you, or only certain ones?
    Could you possibly please provide a screen recording showing the workflow you are taking when this issue occurs?
    Do you have OpenCL Hardware Acceleration enabled under Edit > Preferences > Performance?
    As Walt has confirmed, you can find the option here on the context toolbar -

    I hope this helps!

    ianrb got a reaction from MmmMaarten in the little things that make up the big picture   
    We often look for the BIG picture -- that grand landscape  or sea scape that few of us have close by . But inside every not so grand picture are 100s or even 1000s of little pictures that are just as good to practise photography and photo editing  
    Example  -- the first two are under 3" / 75mm 


    From those raw files I was able to make this --


    --1] twisted brain  2] ring of steel 3] moon abstract . Each name was thought of when taking the photo; 1] taken (all 3) on a block of land my son just bought ; 2] ring of steel is term often used in Australia to isolate covid19 ; 3] moon on the rusted incinerator  . I find naming the subject when/before taking the photo (I never "shoot" a subject to make a "shot") give more reason for the actual photo 

    I find that collage far more rewarding than a BIG picture the same as 1000s others have photographed 
    How and why questions welcome

    Not sure a full coarse is need if you PS experience
    Olivio has lots of easy to understand videos

    TIP: Affinity is just like PS; however similar tools are often hiding in different places with different names -- now can be frustrating at times but it's worth it in the end 
    TIP: if you share a photo considering adding the original photo also
    TIP: if you want to improve; always ask for honest comments (CC) and always give permission to re-work your photo --- a photo is worth a 1000 word (10000 to those who cannot read well :lol:

    thanks so far everybody!

    i already followed olivio Sarikas at youtube, but didnt get to watch many of his videos yet. 

    @Julia04 this is the course im doing right now i made use of the udemy sale. Thanks @Alfred for the hint on the sale! I grabbed another one from the same guy about compositing too. 
     
    @ianrbthe pic above is more or less the original. just developed the raw file (lifted the shadows, saturated and sharpened). no massive edits. 
    good to know. i was thinking that honest comments are the usual thing... why should i join a forum, if i dont want input to get better anyway, ill make sure to mention it in the future
