Hi,
I have an M1 mac mini, 2020. 16 GB, 1Tb, MacOS Monterey, 12.5.1.
Opening 35 RAW 30 MB Canon RAW files in Affinity Photo makes it beach ball and takes up all 16 GB.
Then I changed the default app to Affinity Photo 2. Did not make a difference.
Then I thought, let's open the same RAW files in Preview.
This opened faster.
I edited one file in Preview, did not save it.
Now trying to open the files again and I get this, with a bouncing Affinity 2 icon
Then I tried previewing differen files in Finder using the spacebar. Just ONE FILE at the time and even screenshots, not being RAW files, show this problem : It shows glitches in the animation, this is literally what I get before the picture shows:
Also, Quicktime player crashes when opening screen recordings, however that works better with a different user profile.
All these things work better on my i3 iMac from 2010! Except that Affinity Photo 2 will not run on it.
Is it worth upgrading to 12.6.7? It says it will take half an hour (?).
