    Is LR v8.2 ok on Mac?

    So is LR v8.2 ok to install and run on Mac? I read some early accounts of crashing, then the install itself vanished from my Adobe Creative Cloud app (and now that app itself has vanished but that's another story). Are you having success with LR v8.2 on Mac other than perhaps with the new...

    Quad Core vs Dual Core

    The MacBook Pro 13" have dual core and the MacBook Pro 15" have quad core. Generally for any machine you have to look up the specs and it should tell you.

    Quad Core vs Dual Core

    Do any of you know whether quad core is an advantage over dual core when it comes to editing photographs in Lightroom and Photoshop? I'm debating MacBook pro 13" (dual) vs 15" (quad) and really, I'd rather have the smaller one. The issue is whether the quad core would make Photoshop and...

    Lightroom Classic Upgrade Failure!!!!

    Glad that worked out but I want to caution about one thing: last I checked (a year or two ago), the XMP approach does not preserve edits of virtual copies. If you use virtual copies you might want to look into this.

    Is LR 2015.8 (6.8) ok to install?

    Judging by these two replies so far, it sounds like it's ok to install. I'm not hearing any great enthusiasm though!!!

    Is LR 2015.8 (6.8) ok to install?

    Are there reports of slowdowns or substantial bugs in the latest revision of LR? I've been waiting to hear feedback on 2015.8 prior to installation, but things seem quiet. What do you hear? Have you tried it? I have seen reports involving slight interface changes, like the X key no...

    2016 MacBookPro 15" LR slow with dedicated GPU.

    Did you try with GPU enabled in LR, disabled, or both? Also be sure to increase the cache size in LR preferences to 30 or 40 gig.

    2016 MacBookPro 15" LR slow with dedicated GPU.

    Yes I used the switch in Lightroom to make the changes. However, I always had the "efficiency" switch turned on in the settings panel. Looking at the activity monitor it is clear that the OS knows that this unit should have access to the dedicated GPU. The "efficiency" switch is supposed to...

    2016 MacBookPro 15" LR slow with dedicated GPU.

    ======== This is helpful, thanks for letting us know. BTW I spent the afternoon at a coffee shop and the new 15" screen is addictive (compared to the 13" on my 2015 MacBook Pro). I plan to take the machine in to a genius bar to ensure that the GPU tests out ok but realistically it's a...

    2016 MacBookPro 15" LR slow with dedicated GPU.

    I own a new 2016 15" MacBook Pro with all the CPU and GPU options. Just trying D mode now in a headshot edit that has a lot of pre-existing edits. I was expecting the new GPU (AMD Radeon Pro 460) to elevate this to a new level of speed in D mode. Instead it is utterly unusable, far slower...

    ADOBE: What are you doing to improve RAW processing?

    What is Adobe doing to improve quality of RAW processing? There are endless stories on the internet about other RAW engines being far superior for certain cameras. Are any of you in contact with Adobe personnel? Can you give them a nudge on this topic? Let us know what to expect? Please...

    Buying Monitor for use with Macbook Pro 2012 13"

    I think that the first 13" MBP to comfortably handle 4k monitors at 60z is the 2015 model. Apple has some online specs about this. Lack of dedicated VRAM and GPU has been a constraining issue until this year. Overall I think the advice above is spot on. Using wide gamut introduces many...

    LR CC slower than LR5.7 in D mode. Why? Is this normal?

    Hi! I upgraded to LRCC from LR5.7 expecting it to run faster, per the advertisement of Adobe, but instead it is much slower in D mode. I have a 2015 MacBook Pro 13" w 16gig RAM, 1TB SSD, at least 10% free. All latest versions of everything except I did not yet do the LR CC update of October 5...

    Tethering not (yet) working with OSX El Capitan GM

    Are you using LRCC? Wondering if it is compatible with El Capitan OS X? Does it speed up or slow down ( I found moving from LR5.x to LRCC resulted in MUCH slower D mode)....

    Flickr vs. Smugmug

    Copyright protection for photos! yikes. How about Smugmug Wow. I had totally forgotten to ask about copyright protection of photographs in my own consideration of Flickr vs Smugmug. Sigh. Any more general comments from users of others such as Photoshelter or Zenfolio? Not just on...

    From 4gb to 8 gb what will it bring?

    So did the extra RAM help? I am running on a mid-2011 MacBook Air I5, with the maximum 4 gig of RAM. Am wondering whether I need a new machine or not for photography post processing. Thanks, Art
