Popsicali Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 It may be that the size of the images are the cause of poor performance. What are the image sizes (WxH) and how many layers do you typically have? Open the settings > Diagnostics dialog and copy your system specs into a post here so we can see what hardware you have.

toe_head2001 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Just to clarify, this happens after you've clicked on the 'OK' button in the effect? and it gets stuck on the "Finishing..." dialog? Or the "Rendering... ##%" dialog? Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

Popsicali Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 i think it more so happens on finishing or cancelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Trying to cancel inner shadow tool. Is that the object or selection version?... Just a hunch, probably wrong, ( I'm not experienced with either), but if the effect is expecting an object and the whole layer is opaque? ... just thoughts... ignore me!

Rick Brewster Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Sounds like a bug in the plugin, or it's just not optimized.

If it is just specific ones, list them here. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
