imagodespira Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hello, i just want to write that the latest beta works fine here. It seems that hardware acceleration works well now. Project loading are as fast as without OpenCL enabled. All fine so far. The latest beta is my daily driver now! Many thanks for your work!

For example, have all the planned performance enhancements been made? Have any other changes that are in process already been released in the beta stream? One hint that there is more coming can be gleaned from the version change (1.9 -> 1.10) since that indicates an incompatible file format change, such that 1.9 should not be able to Open files saved by 1.10. But some of us have noticed that it's still possible to Save in 1.10 and open in 1.9, so there should be more changes coming. -- Walt Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 22H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 22H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Maybe it depends on the use of new functions or not using them? I hope that new features will come in future. Rotatable help lines would be nice, also double click on the help lines to open the options to edit position. Also "duplicate" document is very needed in my cases (open a second copy of the whole project as "unnamed" new one). I need it often because i work in 4k but export parts in 1080p (and read positions)... this would be nice for me and not bit work Scalable UI like in mac version would be nice too. Anyway, with every update i more and more forget photoshop... P.S. Will we get round Windows 11 corners ??? I use Windows 11 and it seems the only software with square hard edges and missing shadows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a lighthearted comment on my side 🤭 As for real release date, there is this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnfxzknVK_0&t=12s We can hear that they are hoping for a release towards the end of this month. I am in no rush, they can take longer, make more changes, I am not pushing or being impatient. It was nothing more then tongue in cheek comment. walt.farrell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaizon Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I was having a problem with the normal version where it would crash constantly, seems like this beta version fixed that for me. Mark Ingram and nezumi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
