theDavid Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hi, this is my first topic on this forum. At first I just wanted to say that I am very happy with your product and I am very surprised that I am using it that often. I did not expect that. I thought that Affinity will not replace Photoshop in my workflow that soon. Good job. I am using Affinity Photo mainly for postproduction of my 3D renders. I love to use your Tone mapping persona which gives my renders a nice kick. Lately I work with 6k and sometimes even with 8k images and I import 32 bit EXR formats. When I open Tone mapping persona I have to wait really long time to start it up. Also other tools are little bit slower. I want to ask if in future we can expect some speed improvement with this bigger image formats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDoc Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I'm new at this so I hope this isn't a silly question; is it the size of the image that makes opening Tone Mapping slow? I only ask because switching between personas is fairly quick, except when going into Tone/HDR. Thanks to whoever can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theDavid Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 I think in general when you work with HDR images with 32bpp it will be slower than when you work with a 8bit formats. Question is if this speed can be improved on a software side or is it a hardware issue. When I edit 2K or 3K hdr images switching to Tonemap persona is not so slow. It is still not 1 sec wait like when you work with Jpg but it is acceptable. But I am interested if we can get higher speed improvement with bigger resolutions because in this instance I have to wait much longer. On the forum stuff members write that they are generally working on speed improvements on both platforms [PC | MAC]. I am looking forward for that. Other question is, if we can get better performance via hardware than which parts should we look at to buy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
