Like many, I wanted to get away from Adobe products and was super happy to find Affinity. I immediately purchased both Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer.

I have been going back and forth between Adobe and Affinity for two weeks or so now. I really like some things that Affinity has for tools, but I am not happy at all with the slow slow speeds when it comes to working with large format files. 

I really want to give Affinity a chance and am thinking perhaps someone can shed some light on this as to why the same file in Adobe PS renders and saves in less than a minute while the same file in Affinity takes upward of 5 or even ten minutes at times. It just seems clunky in that area and also sometimes if hit the File button the dropdown sticks and will not go away unless I close the program.

Also, to clarify... I am not using both Adobe and Affinity at the same time on this PC. I uninstall and reinstall. I'm just at a total loss and again really like some of the features in Affinity, but I can't wait so long when it comes to even sometimes trying to get the program to take a simple action (aside from saving).

I am currently using the very latest upgrade of Affinity Photo (the last version was just as slow too).

Please help. Thank you. I really do NOT want to go back to Adobe world.
