Affinity Photo for Mac uses so much RAM in background. 3.5 GB while there are no opened projects!


Recommended Posts

It sounds like fun but Affinity Photo uses ~3.5 GB of RAM in background even while I have no opened projects. 

The app doesn't start using so much RAM right away. It starts using it after working with some projects. For example, yesterday I was editing ~10 photos, and today Affinity Photo, which has not been being closed all this time, uses 3.5 GB... And it is not a bug, I have already relaunched the app in the past. After some hours (or after a day) Affinity starts destroying RAM of my Mac.

Is this normal? Should I re-installed the app?

The latest Beta of Publisher (1.10.0.1098) mentions a fix for memory leaks during document close. Perhaps that applies to the other applications, too, and perhaps they will get that fix in their next betas?

Hi Sherlock440,

Just started Affinity Photo on my MacBook Pro M1 with 8gb of ram and the occupied ram is 619,4mb.

I've encountered a ram problem when working with panoramas or stacks, but only after creating 4/5 panoramas.
