Advice on Speeding up C1 Pro 8

Permanently deleted user
I'm using an iMac with the following chip / memory

2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
24 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Dual Monitors - Working monitor has a resolution of 2560 x 1440.
iOS 10.9.5
250GB SSD drive
250 GB USB SSD drive to store sessions. To make it easy to move from iMac to Macbook Pro.

The thing that annoys me most is the delay of 3-5 seconds when working with layers before seeing the effects of the change.If I hit "m" for to see the mask it can easily take 5 secs before it appears. This can also be the case when making adjustments without layers. I can only assume there must be something II either have set up wrong. I love what C1 offers me but the lag is very annoying at times

Any help with this would be really appreciated!


Edit....
If the C1 application is reduced to a smaller size on the screen, say 1920x1080, then the layers speed up and the mask can be toggled off and on within a second or less. It seems that the delay is caused by the higher resolution screen?

    By the far greater number of pixels that need to be manipulated before your revised image can be displayed to you in all its glory I would guess.

    What size of default preview are you creating?

    Preview set to screen size at the moment 2560x1440.

    It has moments when it speeds up but that's only for a few minutes then it reverts back to taking 3-5 secs to refresh the screen.

    Good point.

    Personally I don't think that the session concept is a problem but external drivers seem to have lives of their own on Windows and I assume it's much the same on Macs.

    Thanks for the replies.... I'll try moving the session to the internal SSD to see if that makes a difference! Thanks again

    Edit.


    Tried moving the session to the internal SSd and if anything, it was worse. I've an open ticket with support and sent them a video. One layer took more than 10 secs to display the mask / switch it off. Crazy lag.

    I'm hoping there is a cache or settings folder that might need to be cleared out etc.

    When I upgrade from one version to another I tend to select "Replace" could this have mucked things up?!?

    Also, when using the Intuos 4 tablet, the menu options are a pain to control at times, takes several presses to get C1 to respond.

    Any pointers / thoughts would be really useful here as it's grinding work to a halt!

    Try switching off hardware OpenCL acceleration in the CO preferences.

    It seems the graphics subsystem in your iMac is not up to the tasks of moving so may pixels in real-time. I assume the preview is set to 2560 px in your preferences. If you have the CO8 on the external screen, make sure you hide the viewer on the iMac screen.

    Your remark that at 1920 px screen size or CO8 window size all is speeding up, tells me this.

    If you like to test this out further more, remove the external screen and review the performance on your iMac screen.

    No, the hardwares fine. It had worked before and just started lagging. I had a ticket open with support, which I've just closed off.

    It seems to have been a combination of Session that needed repairing and OpenCL. In any event, after removing C1 altogether, repairing Session and re-installing the latest version that was just released, the speed is back to normal / Acceptable level for this piece of hardware.

    Support didn't seem to think anything in the latest release would have improved it..... possible corrupted file and re-install sorted it?!? Who knows, the main thing is it's back to normal 😄
