Copie Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 After I purchase and downloaded Affinity Photo on my Macbook Pro. The software starts up slowing and I don't understand why. I have MacOS Monterey version 12.2.1. Can someone help and tell why the software starts up slowing on my Macbook. GeGr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Hi and welcome! See also related to Monterey the following ... ... though in your case it's Intel based and not Apple Silicon hardware. - Check under the apps Preferences settings the apps performance settings, aka the RAM and hardware acceleration settings. Try out to setup the max RAM usage below slightly your physical 16 GB RAM size. Also disable any possible enabled GPU hardware acceleration, if those might be checked on (enabled). Other than that it might be a general Affinity Photo on Monterey problem.

GeGr Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Hope it will be fixed soon, as it is some kind of annoying ... (slow startup-time on first startup of Photo, Publisher and Designer ...) ! ... I am also on macOS Monterey 12.2.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
