Apologies for raising this issue again but despite having read up on it quite extensively things are still not entirely clear. Adobe is partly to blame for this. This is my dilemma. A few days ago I got a new 27" iMac (Intel i9 3.66 GHz 32Gb RAM) on which I hope LR Classic will now run a little smoother than on my late 2015 model. This meant moving my LR files from the old iMac to the new one, in the process of which I discarded the old previews.lrdata file and restarted rebuilding all the 61000 odd previews (despite having a new machine this takes forever). Waiting for it to finish gave me plenty of time for reflexion and it occurred to me that it is rather silly to create standard previews instead of 1:1 previews when the resolution of my screen is 5120 x 2880 pixels, which is not too far removed from the 6000 x 4000 pixels of most of my photographs. Would I have been better off creating 1:1 previews or are standard sized previews also created as Adobe claims on its website? What is the point of this when the two are so close together? What would be the best course of action?
