Nikos Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I think I have spotted a bug. After an HDR Merge (3 images at 42MP), AP beta sticks at 100% CPU usage. I waited for more than a minute, but it kept on at 100% After saving the result to a file, CPU usage dropped back to the normal 2-3% (for an idle application). Hardware: Retina MacBook Pro @ 2.6GHz (16GB RAM), with an external 27" Dell monitor attached Check the screenshot. IgorAdedy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted December 9, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hey Nikos, I've just tried this and my CPU dropped back down as soon as the merge was complete. My images weren't as big as yours though. Can you get this to happen again or was it a one off?

Nikos Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 It happened both times I tried it. 2 sets of 3 photos each, from the same camera (Sony A7R Mark 2). I attach one set. Archive.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted December 12, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 12, 2016 With your images, it did seem to take a bit longer but it did come down on its own. Interestingly, it went right back up again as I tried to close the document. Is this interfering with your workflow, as in does it reduce performance if you attempt to do something else?

I did not try to continue editing in this state. I preferred to save my work, and saving seems to solve this issue. However, having one runaway thread is a serious threat to battery life.

CekariYH Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 How many cores does your MBPr have and did all of them show 100%? If not and if it have 2 cores 100% means 50% load and if it has 4 cores 100% means 25% load. /CekariYH English is a funny language, seldom it spells the words like I do...

Nikos Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 How many cores does your MBPr have and did all of them show 100%? If not and if it have 2 cores 100% means 50% load and if it has 4 cores 100% means 25% load. It is clear from the screenshot, that only one thread is affected. But one thread that remains at 100% forever, while doing nothing, is clearly an indication of a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted December 13, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 13, 2016 There is definitely something not right but it seems isolated to you. It's very odd that it releases it after a save too. I've tried on 3 different machines and the CPU drops back to a reasonable idle percentage. Are you changing any of the settings in the HDR Merge dialog?

As far as I can remember, I had image aligning enabled. I have access to many Macs. I will first try to see if I can replicate it on a 27" iMac 5K (Late 2015, AMD Radeon R9 M390 2048 MB). I also have a 13" Retina MBP (Early 2015) and 13" MacBook Air (Early 2015). Or you can pick: http://browser.geekbench.com/user/7742 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikos Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 I could not replicate this issue on a 5K iMac (Late 2015), running Affinity Photo 1.5.1 and MacOS 10.12.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted December 15, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 15, 2016 Thanks for the update Nikos. Strange that it seems to be restricted to the MacBook you were using. I should be able to get access to one tomorrow as we primarily use iMac's in the office.
