HasAnyoneSeenMyNebula Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Over the last two days I have been trying to stack a large number of RAW astrophotography files. Affinity Photo seems to progress initially and then after several hours seems to progress no further. I have been unable to tell if the program is still working at that lime or has frozen. I have tried increasing the RAM allowance and I have a gaming computer, capable of heavy work. After 3 attempts I have had to go back to using another program to perform the stack. I do not see an option to view progress status when in the middle of an astrophotography stack. The other program I use has a status window which updates by the second. It is not unusual for this to take even a day or so to stack, I just need a way to see that the program has not frozen up. If this feature exists, could you tell me how to view that window? If not, I think it would be a great feature to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HasAnyoneSeenMyNebula Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Yes, I did that, but seeing that Affinity is using 8% of CPU resources when it is allotted about 90% of resources doesn't really say much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What resources do you think, CPU (individual cores), RAM, drive, GPU? Screenshot?
