Hellera Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I have successfully edited RAW files with Affinity before, importing one CR2 file at a time. Now I tried importing 40 CR2 files at once but that made Affinity and my laptop crash. I tried several times but that same happened every time. I wonder what the reason could be?

v_kyr Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Probably your computer run of memory. Depending on the size of the RAWs importing too much RAW files at once will need a bunch of memory here.

John Rostron Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 If you load the Windows Task Manager (or the Mac equivalent) before loading your CR2 files, then you can monitor the effect on memory usage and know when to say when.

Hellera Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 My laptop has enough memory and should be powerful enough to run the program (I'm using HP Spectre X360).. Task manager does show however that Affinity's power and memory usage are very high when trying to open the big batch of raw files at one go. It seems that I must open one raw file at a time and that means a really slow process of modifying all the 40 pictures. Anyone else have the same problem or any other ideas that I could try to do to fix the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted March 6, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hi @Hellera; Have you tried our beta? Is it any better? Opening 40+ raw images at once on 8gb of RAM is a bit of a push really. Thanks, Gabe. HVDB Photography and Hellera 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellera Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Thanks Gabe! That might be right. I'm a newbie with this issues. Thanks for helping me understand better! And what do you mean by your beta? Edited March 6, 2019 by Hellera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted March 6, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 6, 2019 We have a beta phase running at the moment. We have improved quite a lot of things, but it's not completely stable - Hence still in beta. You can download it from here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
