BearSSR Posted January 20 Posted January 20 When I use 'V' to transform and move my mouse, my window flickers and the image goes all weird and laggy. Is there any reason this may be happening and how to fix this? Desktop 2025.01.20 - 11.24.19.01.mp4 Quote
Komatös Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Hi @BearSSR and welcome to the forums. If the graphics card drivers, Windows and system drivers are up to date, switching off hardware acceleration may help. You can find this option under Menu Edit -> Settings -> Performance.

Hello thanks for replying Even with fully updated drivers and hardware acceleration off I still have the same issue. I even tried turning off Nvidias G-Sync and still have had no luck.

Have you already set the refresh rate for Affinity Photo in the NVIDIA control software?

NotMyFault Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Try different view quality settings. to some extend this is expected behavior, but in your example the areas near edges rendered delayed are quite large.

Yes I have, still unsure on what to do. I have an intel laptop and it renders fine, but on the desktop as shown the rendering is quite slow despite other software working fine. Quote
Staff NathanC Posted January 21 Staff Posted January 21 Hi @BearSSR, In your second screen recording, the 'Renderer' setting appears to be set to 'WARP', this is a software/CPU renderer that can be significantly slower than using a dedicated GPU, and the result is slower redraw times when transforming image layers, set this to your GPU instead. Also, set the 'Retina Rendering' setting to Low quality (Fastest) so that the app is only doing a single pass. To some degree, this is expected and dependent on the GPU performance.
