manfex Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 This has been a problem for some years now, whenever trying to resize any of the image windows inside affinity photo, the resizing is extremely slow and the movements will buffer so even if I let go of the mouse button, the resizing gestures will all execute and it doesn't cancel when lifting the mouse button. Even happens with a blank canvas. This is extremely frustrating because Affinity Photo doesn't have "zoom resizes window" like photoshop does, so I have to manually resize several image windows when working.

Subclavius Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Hello @manfex Welcome to the forums. I assume that you have Hardware Acceleration activated. Your graphics cards are from an older generation and I think they simply cannot keep up with the demands that APhoto places upon them. Have you tried disabling HA (Edit > Preferences > Performance)?

manfex Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 It's not activated since the program says my computer is unsupported. The demands for resizing an empty window however should be quite minimal, I would understand the slowdown with lots of stuff. Photoshop works just fine without acceleration.

DarkClown Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Same Problem here ... Regardless of the hardware accel. (doesn't matter if OpenCL is on or of). Dreadful with undocked pictures ... I can get me a coffee and Affinity is still slowly doing its resize work when I'm back ... Isn't it ironic ... beeing proud of the program speed with nearly a million of vecor object but not able to resize a single simple window ...

GeoffH Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I tried to replicate this and at first with a mouse it did not show, however if I drag vigorously for a few seconds it started. I tried on both 1.9.2.1035 and 1.10.0.1127 Beta (Win 10) and had similar results. If I just did a single drag to size the problem was not apparent. As my system is older and a lower spec (AMD Phenom 965, 12 GB ram and Radeon HD 6800) , than yours it would not seem to be hardware/ driver related.

Staff Chris B Posted August 10, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 10, 2021 I can reproduce this on a VM but I get it with panels too. On my main machines it is fine. I have seen reports on and off for this over the years though.

Lem3 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I have two computers, one (System A, ancient) displays this issue, the other (System B, three months old) does not. System A: Intel i7-2600, AMD Radeon 6800 series, 8GB System B: Intel i7-11700, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti, 16GB Since System B uses the same GPU as DarkClown but does not have this problem, could it be a CPU limitation? Benchmark CPU results for the two computers: System A: Vector (Single CPU): 172 Vector (Multi CPU): 664 Raster (Multi CPU): 113 Combined (Multi CPU): 137 System B: Vector (Single CPU): 441 Vector (Multi CPU): 2232 Raster (Multi CPU): 446 Combined (Multi CPU): 386 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffH Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Just some further input. If I open an image file, float the window and then resize I can do it till I get bored without the problem occurring in either version of the software as in my previous post. I then created new documents in several different formats and could not repeat the problem. Closed and restarted and still no problems. Oh the joy of tracking down intermittent problems!
