I have the following laptop and notice when I use Photoshop's Spherical Panorama feature, my laptop's fan starts really working and gets slow. Here's the specs of my laptop:
OS X El Capitan 10.11.6
MacBook Pro 13-in Mid 2014
3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris 1536 MB
217.25 GB Free Flash Storage Space
So I set out looking for Photoshop alternative so I can experiment with creating 360° illustrations / pano painting. Before purchasing Affinity Photo, can you tell me if my computer can handle it? Once you start 360 Live Editing, would I experience the same lag with your software as Photoshop has been doing to my laptop. I know it's an old laptop but I'd really like not to upgrade my laptop for this new hobby.
