What I meant by "what are your disks doing" is what kind of activity is happening... i.e. open up the performance monitor and watch the disk activity. I was wondering if something was bogging down the disks (even if you don't believe you are doing anything else to any disks, something on your

I've had some similar issues working with large images, here's some things I've found.  First of all, if your image is in 16-bit precision, your operations are going to be slow.  GEGL is apparently optimized for 8-bit int and 32-bit float, so paradoxically you'll actually get a much smoother

Good evening from a new user of GIMP, I am venturing into some basic photo editing and installed 2.10 after realizing the stable release (2.8.22) didn't support 16 bit color TIF files without being converted to 8 bit. After installing the program, I noticed it's running pretty slowly. Most menus
