How to Speed Up slow Lightroom?

How to Speed Up slow Lightroom?


Adobe about LR:

"The Spot Removal Tool and Local Corrections Brush are not designed for hundreds to thousands of corrections.
If your image contains many (hundreds) of localized adjustments, consider using a pixel-based editing application such as Affinity Photo or Photoshop for that level of correction..."

Order of Develop operations

The best order of Develop operations to increase performance is as follows:

Spot healing. Geometry corrections, such as Lens Correction profiles and Manual corrections, including keystone corrections using the Vertical slider. Global non-detail corrections, such as Exposure and White Balance. These corrections can also be done first if desired. Local corrections, such as Gradient Filter and Adjustment Brush strokes. Detail corrections, such as Noise Reduction and Sharpening.

Note: Performing spot healing first improves the accuracy of the spot healing, and ensures the boundaries of the healed areas match the spot location.

1. Use fastest drive for catalog, cache and current photos. Make new catalog for any new job, then proceed with these steps.

2. Render smart previews then CHANGE the name of photos folder [this is different from just checking that box mentioned in article], LR will render smaller files [from 24MPX, it makes about 2600x1700 px files, which are large enough for checking focus and noise etc].

3. Use import preset with camera specific ISO etc, your choice.

4. Import ONLY presets you will use, making LR caching 10000 or so presets is not good. [some people are preset hoarders], This speeds up LR a lot.

5. Make 1:1 previews of SMART previews [when they are detached from the folder], to have import preset, smart preview and 1:1 on start.

6. Flag pics that you will edit [cull], rather than doing black flag on non-chosen pics [morale thing, you reward yourself, you are more likely to edit with more 'oomph' //optional

7. After whole cull and edit, change the name back to have original files in LR, check sharpening and noise reduction, and export.

8. After job is exported to JPGs, export whole catalog with files onto a slower archive folder. Name it, so that you know which job was that.

9. New pictures? New catalog, and from 1 to 9 again, Starting on fastest drive with clean new empty catalog, import photos as instructed.

__________
That's my workflow, and I don't see how it could be any faster [culling maybe, but with smart previews it's ultra fast]. Hope this helps anyone, I can go into details if someone wants to learn more about my workflow. It works for superfast PCs and slow laptops, so far haven't seen it go any faster.

Hello, Lr Classic

I know from my experience on the KelbyOne Help Desk, as well as from various forums and conversations with other Lightroom users, that improving performance has been high on everyone’s wish list. Adobe has apparently taken this issue seriously and devoted most of its resources for this version to identifying various points in the workflow where speed can be improved. One of the first places you may notice an improvement is in launching the program, which should be more noticeable with larger catalogs. I’ve definitely noticed an improvement here.
