- Lightroom Version Number
- Classic CC 8.0
- Operating System
- Windows 10
Hi there,
I've upgraded from LR5.7, which I've used since many years and I've been pretty familiar with, to Classic CC (had to, due to a new camera / RAW format)
I was very much looking forward to the upgrade since I heard Adobe made big speed improvements. But now it seems the exact opposite is the case. And I'm not so much talking about import or export speed (I don't really care) but normal handling (I care a lot). I used LR5 on my notebook (i7 2core) and didn't notice a big difference to my desktop (i7 4core). Now CCC is barely usable on the notebook, because it's so slow. Going from one picture to the next, zooming in, etc... Is it just me, or is CCC generally much slower than LR5 (and maybe the praised speed improvements are just between old vs. new CCC?)
On a related subject: Lightroom eats up all my PC's performance. Web-browsing or watching a video while import or export is running is barely possible. Also LR itself is unresponsive while jobs are ongoing. Is there a LR setting to influence that? Or maybe a Windows setting?
Thx,
