Series performance problems on good performed PC

[Jog_2705]

Hello together,

I like the Aff Photo a lot but in cases of create a stack photo with 5 pic 40MB each (waiting time 4 MIN), create an HDR = 4 min. and just to load or open a photo in tone mapping takes 2 mins. or more. Sorry but in the WorkBook is written ....one of the fastes programs.... for me I can't use it in this stage and go back to PS if you cannot help here.

Do you have any tips?

Hardware: Intel 85xx (latest Generation) CPU, 16GB RAM, SSD Drive, Nvidea GTX1070 8GB GPU Ram .... so a mostly good performance PC

OS: Windows 10

AFFINITY Performance config: able to use up to 12GB Ram, GPU GTX1070 as default GPU is set.

Also I have controlled current load during waiting time an CPU is in the middle < 20% load, RAM is more than 13 GB available.

Hi Jog_2705,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
We are aware of some performance issues in certain operations or when loading RAW files. The dev team have been working on this and there should be improvements in the next Photo update (v1.7) which should be available as a Customer Beta in a couple weeks. Please try it then as let us know how it goes.

Yes its indeet with RAW files but I will test it also with jpeg and/or tiff. From configuration point of view I can't do more...right?

If yes thanks for the fast response an I will wait for the beta release. Will I get an information when it is available?

Thx and nice greetings Jog

What CPU do you have specifically? Affinity does take advantage of multi-core processors as well as their clock rate - the faster the better - depending on the operations being performed.
We post/publish the Affinity Photo Customer Betas here: Photo Beta on Windows usually pinned at the top (the current version that's pinned there was already released commercially so there's no point in downloading/installing it - it should have been un-pinned by now).

8th Generation 3.200 MHz 8 Core..as I wrote the CPU usage was by 20% mostly and only in view seconds up to 45%

Is this a common value for all cores, or for each? Try to see the graph of individual cores, and I think some of them will be at 100 percent.

The problem is, that some task/operation can not used all cores at the same time.

I made few tests

stacking with 10 photos (raw Format from Fuji) each approx 50MB; stacking open time 7 Min ! CPU, GPU and Storage never more than 60% mostly 20% in middle

stacking with 10 photos (same but jpeg) each approx 3 MB; stacking open time 15 Sec. ! CPU and Storage are higher in use ~ so 70%

so it is clear related to the converting activity and Independent if I start stacking from SSD or from SD-Card Reader....evtl. it helps to make the Development a bit faster :-)

two weeks... is fast already.   . Anyway, looking at your test results, it confirms is the issue with raw files which they are addressing ? (yep, is a question)

hopeful they will have a look on this topic .... but I don't know if that is important enough.
