Patchwork Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 This is really disappointing. Could it be some kind of conflict between my Wacom settings and Designer? I never had this problem with my old MacBook Pro, strangely. I'm using a brand new iMac, and there's not only horrible lag when trying to draw a line at any thickness, and even with fill only, and not only that, there seems to be some kind of spillover drag, too. As if the pen is way too sensitive, and it overshoots the line as I try to end it. I'd use the pen tool, but I'm trying for more of a loose, sketchy, not so perfect line shape, so this is really distracting to me. The more slowly I try to draw, I lose the natural flow of the sketchy line I need to make, so it's just not working. I'm using an Intuos3 tablet, if that helps any. The canvas size isn't any bigger than any I've used before, either...Not sure what's going on. What can I do to help reduce the lag? I'm not getting any spinning wheels, but it's just slowwwwwww.....Hope someone might have some advice asap! Happy New Year to everyone, btw! :) ONE MORE THING: Is there some way I can remap a Japanese key so that I can use command+ again to zoom in? I'm now getting used to a Japanese keyboard, and the plus requires shift to make it zoom in (though I don't have this problem when using other programs). Is it possible to remap shortcuts through Designer? Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted January 6, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi Patchwork, That doesn't sound right - we've got lots of new iMacs in the office of all different specs and none of them show this (that I'm aware of). Can you tell me what kind of iMac you have? Is it the 4k, 5k, which processor, graphics card, etc? Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barninga Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 @patchwork, I solved some performance issue just choosing a less accurate rendering in the preferences. In addition, i see that using big brushes slow down the Program (i think it's due to the dynamic preview), so keeping their size small when possible and/or disabling the dynamic preview (i don't have my mac at hand now but i'm quote sure it's possible) also cam belp.

Madame Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Sorry if this is something you have tried, but have you updated your Wacom drivers? My old wacom tablet isn't compatible with El Capitan.. (or Maveric for that matter) Quote - Affinity Photo 2.3.0 - Affinity Designer 2.3.0 -Affinity Publisher 2.3.0 MacBook Pro 16 GB MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
