Arvin J Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Hi, Any idea why (or to whom do I address this:) why the beachball would pop up on every single thing I do on Affinity Photo? File size is 10" x 8" with 300DPI. As mentioned on the title, Macbook Pro 16" M1 Pro 16gb RAM using Monterey 12.3.1 Everything is so slow and very frustrating. It's so unusable. Had to pull out an old laptop to do some work. I've had this software for a while so asking for a refund is out of the question.

Staff NathanC Posted June 7, 2022 Staff Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hi @Arvin J welcome to the forums, I would initially suggest disabling Hardware Acceleration (The Last Checkbox) and Setting the Display setting to OpenGL/OpenGL(Basic) under Preferences > Performance and seeing if this reduces the beachballs after restarting. If the problem persists after changing these settings, some users have found that disabling Automatic Brightness under Mac System Preferences > Display has resolved this.

cwmbrancon Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hi I was also having this issue with the latest MacOS update (a few days ago). I tried the above and it seems to have helped :) NathanC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
