Memory leak? Affinity Photo & Adjustment levels

[idbill 0]

I process a number of photos from a camera for an online store.

Generally I drag 10-15 files onto the icon to be opened by Photos

Then each photo goes thru 4-5 steps:

1) Crop to custom size

2) Adjust White Balance (optional)

3) Adjust Levels

4) Save (as flattened)

5) close file

After 5-6 of these, the Histogram (in the Levels window) starts updating slower and slower. (8-10 sec)

Note: Just found out that if I click on another file/image in Photos WHILE the Adjustment Levels window is active the delay disappears... until I work on the next photo.

Just to clarify: You're referring to the application as "Photos" which (I think) usually refers to a separate Mac application. Since you're posting here do you really mean "Photo", the Affinity application?

What OS do you use?

Yes, Affinity Photo version 1.7.2

My setup:

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) 2.7Ghz i7, 16gig ram running macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Hi @idbill,

What are the file types that you are dragging from Apple Photo to Affinity Photo

Hi,

I'm pulling images from an SD Card (camera), that are jpegs and range from 2 to 6 meg each.

I do not use Apple Photos in my workflow.

Are you saving back to the SD card or to a location on your MacBook
