tpf1952 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I hadn’t ever noticed anything slow about Affinity Photo until after installing 1.7.1. When using healing brush I’m experiencing some serious delays between when I perform a brush stroke and when I see results. I’m actually experiencing this on both the Mac and IOS versions. Anyone experiencing the same? And if so, any suggestions to improve performance? My Mac: 2016, 15” Retina Macbook Pro, 2.9 GHz Core i7, 16GB, Raedon Pro 460 4 GB, 2tb SSD. OSX: 10.14.5 iPad: 2018 12.9” iPad Pro, 512 GB - OS up to date Camera/files: Fuji GFX 50s, compressed raw Noticing the performance lag when applying the healing brush to the base layer of the pair of layers created when invoking the frequency separation filter. Sometimes the delay is as slow as a second; other time, several seconds. When trying to retouch a face, these kinds of delays can make post production of a single file a bit frustrating. Any suggestions most welcome. Tom photoadele 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoadele Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I'm having the same issue, the Impainting Brush tool lags so much I have to wait for it to catch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 28, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi tpf1952, photoadele, Welcome to Affinity Forums We already have received a few reports of slowdowns/lags after the update to v. 1.7. Most of them are related with Metal compute acceleration. We are looking into this. You can try turn it off in Affinity Photo Preferences, Performance section (on bottom) to see if things get better/speedier for you.

tpf1952 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Thank you for your reply, MEB. I'll adjust preferences as you suggest. Working with Photo and Designer every day; mighty fine software. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpf1952 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Alas, switching off Metal compute acceleration does not ameliorate performance. Fingers crossed that a fix is in the wings. Best of luck, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpf1952 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Managed to downgrade to 1.6.7 via Time Machine. Rebooted and resumed work. Stunning surprise: performance still compromised. Deleted 1.6.7, then reinstalled 1.7.1 Result: AP is running okay. Speculation: I could have saved myself some steps, simply deleted 1.7.1 in the first place, rebooted, reinstalled and gone to work. Glad it worked, anyway. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkLayer Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I have also been noticing the Inpainting tool is laggy, and it seems like it used to always be fast. Affinity Photo 1.7.3 Mac mini (2018 3.2 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB RAM Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB I have usually been editing TIFF files, fairly simple stuff, with one or two layers. Max of ~ 13 MB file size, Max of 4 images open at once. IslanderFJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
