Even OS X 10.7 is supported! A big advantage for many Serif customers.

It seems that only the Mac App Store versions of the Affinity apps support OS X 10.7 Lion. The stated minimum OS version for the Affinity Store apps for Mac is OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

True, but this is no real problem for users of older computers. There is probably no comparable and up-to-date software that supports such an old MAC operating system.

Was the benchmark capability in Affinity Photo removed for the final version? It supposedly was under Help but it's not there anymore.

 

Thanks.

Hi @prl99,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
The benchmark was added to v1.9 (currently in Beta). It's not available in version 1.8x.

[prl99]

Thanks. What does it take to get the v1.9 beta?

[MEB]

Hi @prl99,
Go to the respective Beta section of the forums and download it (the latest version is usually pinned at the top of the section). Here's a direct link to the latest version (1.9.0.204).

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums  

No, it means we have ADDED Big Sur support to our existing list of supported operating systems.

That is so good to hear. Thank you Serif.

What are the best performance preferences for the M1 MacBook? (Can't seem to find this specified anywhere.)

Cheers

[MEB]

Hi basha,
There's no need to set any preferences. It should run at its best with the default configs. Affinity apps are distributed as universal apps - they are already optimized for the new Apple M1 chips.
