Hi all,
I am using the lightroom couple of years now and it has really slowed down. I think I have a quite powerful machine for the photos I edit. My raw files are only 24Mpixel images.
I have an i7 core-4790k, 16Gb of RAM, and a nvidia GTX 1660 ti. I have updated lightroom last night since I have not used it really the last year.
When I am editing lightroom seems to take really lot of RAM, around 11GB and the cpu jumps higher than 80%.
I do not understand why, loading a raw file, like I did in the past (I am using the last 7 years my d750 nikon) and doing simple edits, like brushing should not make the whole system to struggle.

Regards,
Alex

Please include the actual version in posts. 'most recent' doesn't actually help (as it may not be) and it's more helpful for others to learn from the thread if they have the same OS and Version.

So, at what point do they slow - when you first go into Develop for an image, or once you start doing things like Masking adjustments? If when you first open an image in Develop, it helps us understand if it's when Lr is first reading the file (unless it's already in Cache).
