walt.farrell Posted March 6, 2024 Posted March 6, 2024 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. I'm not sure what you mean by "deep etching". Can you explain that a bit more?

A quick search on the Interwebs suggests that “deep etching” is nothing more than a piece of jargon which refers to background removal achieved with clipping paths. I have to confess that it doesn’t sound particularly “deep” to me! walt.farrell and Ron P. 1 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen)
Ron P. Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 @colinh, I see you're using a Nvidia GT640 card. Are you able to use the Hardware Acceleration? Before upgrading to my current, I used a similar one, the GTX 645, and I couldn't use Hardware Acceleration. Have you tried turning that on, by checking the box beside it?
