NotMyFault Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Dear team, after upgrading to latest release, performance issues with selections start again. While using selection brush, flood select tool, or refine mask, Photo becomes totally sluggish and freezes many times. Issue most severe after adding filters / adjustments above the pixel layer. I'm talking about 2 curve layers, not 10 or 100 layers. Example file can be downloaded https://www.amazon.de/clouddrive/share/iQJ8gbNrwzgJCxGzsQaOolSRTuTpgQKiqroeS0Jr4pb For video, see post below.

Staff Gabe Posted April 22, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hi @NotMyFault, So that we are able to investigate bugs thoroughly could you please follow this link and update this post with the followings: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/71-bug-reporting/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hi @Gabe, i hope only the image was missing.To reproduce, select the lowest pixel layer, use selection brush, and try to select any portion. Selection lags about 3-5 second behind the mous movement. record_000003.avi Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

NotMyFault Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Are you using the latest release version? yes Can you reproduce it? yes Does it happen for a new document? If not do you have a document you can share that shows the problem?https://www.amazon.de/clouddrive/share/iQJ8gbNrwzgJCxGzsQaOolSRTuTpgQKiqroeS0Jr4pb If you cannot provide a sample document then please give an accurate description of the problem for example it should include most of the following: What is your operating system and version (Windows 10, OSX Mojave, iOS 12 etc)? Windows 10 1909 What happened for you (and what you expected to happen) there is a lag of 1-5 seconds between mouse mouse movement and visible effect i expect no noticable lag, or maximum 150ms Provide a recipe for creating the problem (step-by-step what you did). use sample image above select lowest pixel layer select "selction brush" select any area, e.g. one of the beach seats press left mouse button, move mouse to cover a small area, release mouse button wait for Photo to make selction visible. it takes much too long Screenshots (very handy) or a screen capture/video. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=136382 Any unusual hardware (like tablets or external monitors or drives that may affect things) or relevant other applications like font managers or display managers. no. plain vanilla PC Nvidia Gforce GTX 1080 OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363 Other OS Description Not Available OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Name System Manufacturer MEDION System Model ERAZER X7731 D/C485 System Type x64-based PC System SKU ML-110000 10021768 Processor AMD Ryzen 7 1800X Eight-Core Processor, 3600 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s) BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc.

carl123 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Not seeing any lagging on the document you provided. Everything nice and smooth on my medium specification PC. Note: The document in your video is not exactly the same as I downloaded (layers are different) but that may or most likely not be relevant. It just adds a bit of confusion.

NotMyFault Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hi carl123, the original file used in the video was quite large (>600MB), and failed to upload to this forum. To reduce file size, i copied only the relvenat layers into a new file, and verified that the issue occurs with the smaller file. Upload failed again, so i finally switched to the amazon drive link. I tried the same file with my iPad 2018, it is much faster vs. Windows, but still shows some slowness (below 1 second) I observerd similar issues more than once with older Affinity Photo releases, my high end PC is by factor 10-30 slower than the iPad in many situations, e.g. when switching to tone map persona. It is way faster in all other aplications, e.g. web browsing, video editing etc. Performance clearly depends on file size (megapixel count, color depth e.g. 8/16/32).

carl123 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I just reopened your document to have another look and I accidently had my Paint Brush selected and when I try to paint on your image I am seeing quite a lot of lag but absolutely zero lag when using the Selection Brush. When I disable the Noise Reduction Layer and the Group Layer (containing the 2 curves adjustment) my Paint Brush lag virtually disappears. If you disable those two items does your selection brush work normally/better? Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

NotMyFault Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 @carl 123: The curves layers are the root cause for the slow down. Of course, disabling them makes Photo faster. But this is not the solution, it only describes the bug. slow_selection.afphoto Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

Staff Justin Posted April 28, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hi NotMyFault If you disable "All layers" in the selection brush it will be quicker. The "All layers" option requires rendering the noise reduction live filter, the lab curves and the gaussian blur filter effect at full resolution for at least some of the document, which will take some time, hence the delay. You should only turn on the "All layers" option when you really need it, i.e. edges are derived from multiple layers. In your cut down document all the edges are derived from the one pixel layer, so maybe you don't need "All layers".

Imaginary Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Even with "All layers" unchecked in the OPs document, Photo selects more slowly than in a newly created document with only the background layer in it. But with "All alyers" checked in the original documents it takes ages to select... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam 005 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 My pc lags badly now after latest update. Although it is quite low spec and on windows 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
