Macbook Pro 15" (2017) running Affinity Photo

[Lykke-Hansen]

Hello

 

I have just bought Affinity Photo and it is running on my MacBook Pro 15" I7 3.1 Ghz, 16 gb ram, 4gb grafikcard.

 

When I am editing pictures in the develop mode, specially when doing curve adjustment, then both my two cooling fans in the laptop fires up and the machine starts to sound like an jet-plane. 

Is that normal?

 

When I am doing same editing in Adobe Photoshop CC, I do not experience any stress on the machine.

Hi Lykke-Hansen,

 

Welcome to the forum

 

In Affinity Photo please goto Preferences and under Performance change the Display to OpenGL and turn off Hardware Acceleration as shown in the attached screen shot and let me know if the fans still run at full speed when working with RAW files.

Hello DW

 

Thanks for your answer I give it a try and let you know if it does any different.

 

Do you know if Affinity Photo works best in Mac OS Sierra or High Sierra?

My setting is like your pictures as default inside Affinity Photo.

 

I took a screenshot of my screen where you can see both my fan RPM speed when using curves inside Develop mode.

 

As soon as I stop editing inside develop mode my RPM fan speed is more normal running at not on full blast.
