smadell Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I read a previous post about having Metal Compute ON causing the Photo Persona histograms to lag extensively. I decided to test this by turning Metal OFF. I can confirm that my histograms update way faster with Metal off. Also noticed another issue, which has bugged me for a while. Option-clicking a layer (to view it in "isolation") has been fraught with problems, sometimes not working at all. And, when it does work, clicking on a different layer to leave "isolation mode" almost never works. However, turning Metal Compute OFF has solved that problem. Metal seems like a great idea in theory, but a real bugger in practice. Thought I should report this.
