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?

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.
