noxdiurna Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Hi. I really don't know what to think about Affinity Photo anymore with M1 MacBook Pro. It is really having some issues with extremely sluggish healing/inpaint tools, with some issues after using it with larger files for few hours and I'm also getting this memory full alert constantly, expecially when I use CaptureOne at the same time. Is there a way of fixing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I don't think the M1 Macs have anywhere near 50 gigabytes of RAM, you should lower that number.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 M1 hardware has actually, depending on the individual configured base model, 8 GB or a max of 16 GB physical RAM memory at best.

Fixx Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I have too occasionally had memory leaks in Affinity apps. Affinity SHOULD not use more than system freely allocates so RAM preference SHOULD not affect that, but the setting may be connected to problem. Quitting/restarting Affinity resets memory usage which corrects situation. If it is repeated behaviour something is wrong. Maybe setting the preference lower may help.

Since no matter what, the M1 can't use more RAM than is installed, the 'out of memory' warning must either be an error or a reference to total memory (RAM + VM). Unless the AP RAM limit actually refers to total memory & not just RAM, it does not seem possible that it could have any effect. Still, it is worth trying setting a more reasonable limit to see what happens.

Wosven Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I had similar problems monthes ago, with APub idle in the background for 2-3 days, as I do usually on week-ends. The computer was so sluggish, it was long to close apps and even restart it after. It was on Windows, and it seems to be solved for this OS.

The memory warning includes virtual memory. System is jammed because startup disk is full (of Affinity memory leak). kartoffelstranger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
