jacob the photographer Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 After months working with great pleasure creating huge panoramic files ( around 2 Gb each) Affinity Photo suddenly starts to slow down with almost very task. In general my images contain about 15 layers: 3 pixel layers and up to 12 adjustment layers. Maxed-out Mac Mini i7 ( 500 gB SSD HD , 1 Tb Hd , 16 Gb Ram ) - OS-X 10.9 . Affinity version Photo version 1.42 Other applications run fine. I tried to solve with restarts etc. Is there a cache that Affinity uses that might be 'full'? Or any other suggestion?

R C-R Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 The usual advice for issues like this is to try resetting the app, using the method Callum posted here. However, this resets everything, including any custom keyboard shortcuts, toolbar & tool palette customizations, etc. you have done. A traditional OS X but very unofficial alternative you might want to try first is deleting the app's user cache files. There are three files buried deep inside your user home folder at this path: ~/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinityphoto/Data/Library/Caches/com.seriflabs.affinityphoto If any of them are very large (at least several MB) trashing all three files while AP is not running may help.

jacob the photographer Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Thanks , working on both. The first remedy seems to help a little, the second I had done already. Right now running a major maintenance of my Hard Drives. Looking at the speed ?? it can face all day. Regardless : Affinity Photo Rocks !!! :-) Jacob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
