Paul467 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hi I am currently using the trail version of Affinity photo and find the speed of develop and saving an image very slow compare to photoshop, is the full version any quicker? I am using a Mac running ver 10.13 i5 2.7 and 16gb ram. many thanks for any help Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps upcoming 1.9x is faster.

Paul467 Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hi thanks for your message, I have just updated to ver 1.9 which seems to improved the develop speed very slightly, but it is still taking over 20 seconds to process, I will try my daughters new Macbook and see if it is any quicker on that, as it may be my computer. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted February 4, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 4, 2021 Thanks for letting me know Paul, 20 seconds still seems longer than I'd expect for most RAW files. Could you please provide a sample RAW file for me here? Do let us know if the app performs any better for you on another Mac Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Paul467 Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hi Dan This is one of the images that in am processing and they are all approximately the same file size, if just timed this one and it took 24 seconds which is causing me a bit of an issue when I have approx 300 to do Regards Paul IMG_4868.CR2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Dan C Posted February 5, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2021 Thanks for providing that Paul, on both Mac and Windows this image was developed in around 2 seconds, similar to the results that other users are seeing with this file. 9 hours ago, Paul467 said: any ideas why it is so slow on mine? There may be a few reasons for this - when developing the image in Affinity do you tend to have many other applications running in the background? How much available RAM (memory) and Storage is there on your mac? Under Affinity Photo > Preferences > Performance, what are your settings here? A screenshot of this would help.

Paul467 Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hi Thanks for the reply, specs for Mac and Affinity preferences are below, the Mac has 16gb ram and has 650gb of free storage, I have also tried processing the image using a separate 480gb SSD drive, and also tried with every other application closed but I am getting the same results Regards Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will pass the file through to our QA team for further testing on multiple devices to see if we can replicate this here Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.
