We are retired and much prefer to own our desktop software rather than commit to paying monthly fees at this stage in our lives when the work we do is on an uncompensated volunteer basis.Īt times Lightroom runs fine and then after a while (a day) it slows to a crawl where normal functions can take minutes or more to complete.

We use Lightroom CS 6 and do not want to upgrade to a subscription or cloud based solution. I’ve done my best, including your 7 points but not accomplished what is needed. I hope you can provide a referral for someone who I can hire to fix a longstanding Lightroom problem. Hi Scott, My wife and and I have great enjoyment and help from your training, conferences and videos. I do courses but the number of people coming in go down rapidly. So finally what happens in combination with the pricing is that non business users will go away from Lightroom. There must be about 1000 ways to program this differently by Adobe so no one would suffer (eg in batch). => Uh, how can this be? It is a very small file. “You have “Automatically write changes into XMP” turned on” Also environmental unfriendly.Ībout the same story for “your internal harddrive is slow”. If you py 2000 euros for a laptop and it does not run Lightroom anymore 5 years later I think that is very customer unfriendly. It is the other way around: Programmers and parties like Adobe don t pay attention to usage of memory and computer (of course a bit blackandwhite stated but hopefully you get the point).

It is like we used to say about cars above 100.000 kms. “Your computer is more than four or five years old” Hi Scott, your tips are great but a few comments here where I think you should go back to Lightroom and have them change instead of their users: It’s an audio-only podcast so you can just let it run in the background while you work in Lightroom. I did a fun interview with the awesome Ross Chevalier (from the Photo/Video Guy Podcast) all about photography and Photoshop education. I’m up in NYC today for meetings – maybe I’ll see you there! 🙂 That’s my top seven – hope that helps speed up your daily Lightroom experience. Turn it off by going to the Lightroom menu (PC: Edit), go Catalog Settings click the Metadata tab, and turn off the checkbox beside “Automatically write changes into XMP” (as shown above). Imagine how that would slow Lightroom down? Well, if you have this turned on, you’re living that speed hit all day every day. Imagine if every time you moved a slider, Lightroom had to write that change into a separate text file. Go to Lightroom’s File menu and choose Optimize Catalog (as shown above).ħ)You have “Automatically write changes into XMP” turned on (most Lightroom users will not need this specialized feature turned on). This is easy to do, and could very well make a difference. (6)You haven’t Optimized your catalog in a while (or ever).

You can’t expect Lightroom to run at full speed on an old outdated computer (and yes, if your computer is four or five years old, it’s outdated). Computer years are close to dog years, and your old computer probably runs like our doggo here. (5) Your computer is more than four or five years old. If not, go to the Help menu and choose Updates (as seen above). Make sure you have Lightroom Classic version 7.2. It’s the fastest version yet (with big speed boosts in some critical areas).

If you don’t have at least 20% of your overall storage space free, that’s affecting your Lightroom’s performance, so free up some space asap.Ĥ) You are not on the most recent version of Lightroom Classic. When you order your next computer (of it you can upgrade) get fast SSD drives – the difference is pretty amazing.īONUS: Also, Lightroom requires lots of free space on your hard drive. Having a really fast drives make a big difference, so if you saved a few dollars buying a cheaper, slower drive, now you’re paying the price. Things will run much faster with those files right on your main internal hard drive.Ģ) You have less than 16GB of RAM (that’s not the minimum it takes for Lightroom to run, but it’s what Adobe recommends).ģ) Your internal hard drive is slow. It’s fine for photos to be stored on an external hard drive (in fact, I recommend it), but not your Lightroom Catalog file or previews files. Well, I guess it should read, “one or MORE of these seven reasons:ġ) Your Lightroom Catalog (and preview files) are NOT on your computer (you’ve stored them on an external hard drive).
