This image was processed in PL9 but converted to sRGB and downsized for posting here using Affinity Photo v2.
PL9 was running on a Core i7 laptop with 16GB RAM and a RTX 4050 6GB. The graphics driver is an old one, v560.something but it is the latest one available from the laptop manufacturer. The edits made were minimal but they did include a ‘point and click’ AI mask on the gull, which was then inverted to allow the background to be blurred. There were no problems with applying or modifying the mask. Nor were there any problems applying XD2s. Export took about 12 seconds.
