Paint mixer is laggy

[MadHatter1]

I'm wondering why it takes such a long time for the paint to mix when you try to mix colors? Is this normal for Affinity or is something wrong? I just used the trial period to test out the  program, and if that's normal it wouldn't work to mix and blend colors on most any project.

Depending on the project it can take a while for the Paint Mixer to work. Our developers have stated in the past that the tool is performing a complex task so there sometimes might be a slight delay.

 

Thanks

I suggest using airbrushes and "manual" blending (the method where you over lay 2 colors get the mid-tone and do that again with the mid-tone until satisfied) rather than the mix tool. I prefer that because it gives me some space to play around... Also if you just need a transition try using gradients instead of smudging everything by hand.
