Affinity Photo - Slow/Lagging (Windows 10)

[vintagelove]

I've noticed that anytime I use Affinity photo that it is very laggy/slow. I notice this most when:

• dragging layers (in document & between documents
• dragging windows (undock/docking)
• using the text tool

I have affinity designer as well and do not experience lagging, so I find it a bit odd that Photo lags so much that it's hard to do anything. Photo also lags while being the only program on my computer open. More specs are below. I also have notion security running, but that only scans/removes files when asked and given permission. I have checked task manager and nothing is running high.

 

Affinity Photo Version: 1.10.5.1342

Operating System: Windows 10 (version 21H2)

System Type: 64

Processor:  Intel Core i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz   2.90 GHz

RAM: 12.0 GB

Can you please try turning off the OpenCL option in the Performance section of the Affinity Photo Preferences.
