    Relentless spinning ball/freezing since updating to Ventura and LR 12.1 My issues: Extremely slow for every click, even just browsing and labeling images in Library, not even in Develop making heavy adjustments.

    Very slow backup on 3TB local drive

    Hi, I'm new to Lightroom Classic. Up to a couple of days ago catalog backups were almost instantaneous (the catalog size is only 140Mb). Now, however, I have tried to close LR and said yes to the backup now question. An error message appeared to say that it could not back up to the location...

    Very large Collections / ~sets slow down Lightroom Classic?

    My main Lr machine is still a 2013 MacBook Pro 15" Retina w/ 16GB RAM. My "private" catalog holds 150,000 images and tends to be quite slow, whereas a fresh catalog is still reasonably responsive. I always thought that my 150,000 images catalog was slow because there are so many images. Then...

    Develop module Masking tool running slowly on fast machine LR11

    Hi, The new LR11 masking tool is a game changer, but I'm running into some issues. 'Select Subject' takes anywhere between 8-10 seconds each image to detect until the red overlay appears. The images aren't difficult as they are just standard engagement/wedding portraits of a couple shot almost...

    Keywords- slow

    Since the last two updates to LR 10 I find the program is slowing down, having to close and open. Lately, adding keywords is almost impossible. It will start to auto complete and just hang. I have also noticed that when in PS, for no reason I can see, it will go back to LR! I had rolled back...

    Slow closing of LR

    We are having a problem when we close LR Classic as it takes up to 10 minutes to close up. I have no other performance issues with LR when I am working with it but it takes a long time to shut down. Any ideas would be welcomed.

    LrC 9.3 Import/Export *EX* Slow but LR 6.14 works fine? Hardware conflict?

    Hi guys! Here's the issue: LrC 9.3 will slow to a complete crawl 4 out of 5 times when Importing or Exporting. Yet LR 6.14 will have zero problems importing/exporting the very same files on the same disks. By slow I mean 5 1920x1920px jpegs can sometimes take upto 35 minutes to import. At...

    Catalog Overload?

    Hi! Been a LR user since 2015. With half a decade worth of files, I am noticing a significant slowing down of LR (especially when backing up). Is it advisable to say, create a separate catalog for archive purposes and have an active working catalog? Or would it just cause more confusion in the...

    LR CC massive slow down on W10

    I just upgraded from W7 to W10 and LR CC became extremely slow. I ran a search about it but all results are from last year. I have no idea why exporting became so insanely slow. Building previews too, clicking on settings and changing them adds seconds until you see the result. Use graphics...

    LR CC freezing

    Everytime I open LR now its so laggy. All my star ratings are gone from the filmstrip down the bottom and everything takes several seconds to activate. If I go to quick it freezes and I have to force quit. I have tried optimizing my catalogue.
