Set your computer to show cpu activity while you play with Lr and you'll see what is going on.


For this reason I abandoned my camera-specific presets that applied set amounts of NR automatically when loading images.īe aware that in the develop module it will always process the image every single time you open it even if that was just a few seconds ago, and it can take several seconds to do so. Leave those things as late as possible in your workflow and it will work appreciably faster. Lr bogs down if you have implemented luminance noise reduction and other processor-intensive settings on your photos. I am now set and will not do any further upgrades. I am happy to report that it is much faster than 4.2 or 4.3. When I upgraded to 4.3, it was so slow, I rolled it back to 4.2.
Adobe dng converter 7.4 upgrade#
I was hesitant to upgrade until I read more user feedback. I do try each new version but still find it slower than other apps. Run-of-the-mill PC, AMD64, quad-core, 8GB, average video card.ĭXO is the only app I have found that has a decent batch speed. LR seemed to load and brush tool function faster, but then maybe my wishful thinking.
Adobe dng converter 7.4 update#
I think this is why every update Adobe does, the question on whether it is faster comes up.

I have cleared cache, removed unused modules, made catalogs for each year, store full size previews for 30 days, etc., and it is still slow. Somehow, someway, Adobe wrote slow buggy software that apparently runs slow on some PCs regardless of the hardware specs. I am running a very powerful PC and except for LR4, everything I run on it flies. My Microsoft Windows Experience Index is 7.6 out of 7.9. Using the DNG converter is not an acceptable alternative because it adds extra unnecessary steps to workflow and I use custom DNG profiles. If LR3 handled D800 files, I would still be using it. With LR3 switching from gallery to develop panels was instant. This was not always the case, LR3.xx handled D700 files with ease. LR4.xx handles D700 files much slower than Capture One 6 handles D800 files. Speed is a relative term, what some consider slow, other consider perfectly acceptable. Lr is not fast, by any stretch of the imagination. Methinks discrepant ideas of what is fast.

I have a MacBook Pro and it handles Lightroom and a few other things open like a champ. Is it any faster than the previous version?
