Performance issues after last update

[Bbolger]

iPad Pro 12.9" (2018) iPadOS 14.5
Updated after staying for quite a while on 3.X.
Now the same files I’ve used to work on (300 - 500 MB A3 Canvas with many many layers) take a longer time to open, the app closes when going to a different app for a sec or when screen is locked and then unlocked, can’t have more than 2 documents open at the same time (10+ before update), occasional crashes… Not good.

Is this performance drop something you’re aware of and planning to fix, or is just how the things are going to be moving forward? I’d really like to get same level of smooth performance as before…

I have the same experience.

Please install new beta version (build 771) and check the stability and performance.

To me it seems to be better. I’ll continue testing by using it in production for a day or two. 4500x6400 px with 8 layers and one layer mask is very choppy on my gen 2 ipad pro 12.9. But I get the feeling that I’m living on the edge with resolution that big with 1.9 GB of available memory. Resize from 2250x3200px to 4500x6400px crashed ASP beta just now. Sent you the crash report. If I win the lottery I’ll buy me a m1 16GB iPd Pro, but I guess that I will have passed away by then…..

Multiple crashes. Good choice to make it beta.

Could you give more details about the crashes?

When painting the app works perfect with masks and adjustmen layers but changing size and sometimes loading a new large project from onedrive makes it crash. For me it seems that handling large chunks of memory is the trigger.

Not in beta, but that seems to be the trigger here as well. Thing is it wasn’t like this before, and I haven’t changed anything on my device aside from updating the app.

How do I try the beta? Is there a public link somewhere?

Just install version 4.0.4 from the App Store

Just downloaded it and testing. So far it seems to perform much much better
