Hello, i was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice. I have been using pdn for a while now. More recently after the 4.0.9 update, i have noticed that when editing larger files with a high ppi and lots of layers, If i try to apply some effects it has a loading bar for a ridiculously long time and sometimes does not recover. It is a huge inconvenience as i cant fully pin point when its going to happen except for on larger files. I currently only have one plug in which has (as far as I can tell) been working fine. Is there anything i can do to help this? or is it a case of having to merge layers down if i can? Thankyou in advance.
