I wish my computer was as fast as you, man, my head is exploding trying to follow you, but thanks, I got something out of this...

Epic help! BOOM! Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
If car #13's wheels worked, that would by far be my favorite. Maybe take it to a tire shop?
If Lightroom is running slow, here's how to fix it. Last weeks Speed-Masking video is brought this on because even masks should be lag free. Watch that here... czcams.com/video/lyLl2mZPK4Y/video.html. These tips will speed up every part of your Lightroom workflow.
how to enable graphics processor ? it says that my system is not compatible although I have a RTX 3060 Ti
Check if the antivirus software is the issue. in my case it was, AVG slowed down Lightroom, could take 2 minutes to load, I had to ways several minutes before I could switch between pictures, exporting and uploading to Flickr was slow. Lightroom froze, sometimes pc even froze completely. Seems like AVG got worse this year. After uninstalling it it my pc is lightning fast, Firefox is too.
And no more issue with Lightroom being super slow if I let the pc be on over night.
Before windows update helped to speed it up before and updating Nvidia driver helped with the user interface, and using 200 buffer, but now I know AVG updated made things slow.
It must be it, as I don't have AVG on my PC, and now everything is lightning fast.
Hello...my catalogs are in C: images and the cache left on disk D!
Can I move the catalogs to another disk, for example disk D? This to not stay on the SSD (C:) where LR is installed ?
One of the biggest problems I have is slowness when I am downloading a card to LR. It gets very slow!
My card is NVIDIA GTX 1650.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Cheers
Always put your catalog and cache target on the fastest drive you practically can. And yes you can put a catalog anywhere and cache files anywhere and original files anywhere.
Even if it takes some time to build the previews, once you have them things should run fast this way.
If images import slowly after being copied from the card, it's probably in part the speed of the drive. If they are slow copying from the card itself it could be the drive but it could also be the card, 1 the reader or the usb port it's connected to.
@@Seimstudios Dear friend...thank you very much for your information! It will be very important for me!
Excellent Sunday and great week!
Hugs 🤗🤗🤗
any tips for mac user ?
So how do I find my L drive that you have selected for the location? I can't locate this on my hard drive and now I don't know where they are going.
L is just the name of my drive. You can use whatever fast drive you have available.
Look in preferences for what drive you have set for chase. And you also need to find out where you are storing your catalog. You can move it if you need to.
@@Seimstudios Gotcha, I keep my catalogs with each clients folder so I can always find them. I have a RAID system. So would it make sense to keep my cache on my 32gb RAID drive? I usually just leave the cache on my Mac HD. I assumed that would be the best place to keep the cache. All of my Catalogs are on the RAID drive however, and it runs really fast.
Gavin, I use several photo editing suites and programs. I have no problem with any of them EXCEPT LRc. My biggest gripe is that it takes over 2 minutes for LR to load and turn control of the app over to me. This is extremely frustrating. I would like to remove LR from my system then reinstall. How can I accomplish this and not lose any of my presets etc?
I am running win11 PRO, Intel CPU i9 @ 3.60GHz, 32GB RAM, 1TB, SSD with 500GB Free, 4TB and 2TB External HDD's. So, I feel I have plenty of power and space. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Load time sounds less about system speed and more about the disk.
Make sure your catalog is on a fast SSD even if the main files are not as I show in this video. If it's on one of your externals that's the problem. On my system Lightroom is fully loaded in 15 seconds by following what I showed here.
@@Seimstudioscatalog is indeed on ssd. A year or so ago my LRc loaded in less than 30 secs also. It has stedily gotten worse as time goes by. No such slow down with any other app on the pc.
I utilize PS, On1, PS Elements, etc. All are fine.
@FredFedak
what kind of SSD are you on ? SSD in SATA cable mode don't go over 500MB/S
- NVME-M.2 Drives like a 990 PRO 2TB go to speeds up to 7000 MB/S
- Put cache on max 200GB and purge the cache ( some big screens use a lot of cache to edit ) this speeded up a lot
- Disable option generate previews in parallel.
- Try work with 2/3 screen mode removing all the meters on screen hide histogram navigator etc.
- I use a software like Mgr21-Process-Killer to kill all programs that are not needed every time I want to speed up the system
- Update to the latest version of LRC
- Run CCleaner to clean your system
- Remove all potential malware with Malwarebytes
- Check your anti virus settings and disable all unwanted Scanning ! sometimes they scan all things you access.
windows Defender does the job fine so you can try uninstalling all other heavy anti viruses.
- depending on how you work with raw files try to get rid of all mechanical drives in favor of NVME drives. Try out different Preview Sizes if you want to keep them on slower drive.
7:18 What do you mean by "checking" you cache?
The cache setting shown on screen and also making sure you cache location is on a fast drive. That's the main thing.
do you have an AMD GPU video tutorial for LrC? thanks.
Sorry I don right now
@Seimstudios Well thank you for the informative video. Gives me avenues to seek.
mine started lagging mostly when exporting files.... any solution for that?
Rendering files takes a ton of power. I rarely try to work while rending. But yes if you increase cooling turn up fans etc, it will give you more power and speed things up.
Well sounds all good - but it remains theoretic to me... Well I have what I consider to be a good 3 years old machine (HP ZBoock Studio G5 4K 32Ram internal SSD (1Tb + 2Tb). Nvidia P1000 I was astounded to learn about the existence of Gforce Experience - however turns out my P1000 is not good enough for it to be compatible. Then, indeed, in nVidia configuration I did discover the many customizations that can be chosen regarding just Lightroom alone - But You don't give ANY indication of what could improve what. Really looks like your whole video (title) would have made sens if You had at least given references of where to find some hints for these settings to be tweaked. All the rest is really NOTHING new.
(Granted - my problem seems to be definitely non-typical - as You want Your video to be. My unbearable problem is borderline freezing of the catalog. Even when I create new, small catalogs. Total despair. I even made a full fresh reinstallation of Win11, Lightroom, etc.)
Im so d tired of my incompetence and also any issues from the other side .. I’m so close to quitting this horse halt. !!!!!!
iMac M1 8GB 512GB unbearable slow. How about plugins do they make it slow?
I think anything you add has potential to make it slow. Check out my DXO Photo Lab review. It's really snappy
its a program issue, I got beast r7 7800x3d, rx 7900xtx, 32gb 6000mhz, 3x m2 hard drives (LR in on C: disk, and images on D: disk)... LR was playing like normal windows image program, after 2 months LR works like fucking trash. I expanded cache from 5GB to 100GB, GPU was turned on from beginning. After increasing cache it works better, but still works like trash.
Insane to me that you basically need to build a pc anymore to run Lightroom.
To be fair that's always been true. LR and C1 are both hogs.
do peoppe actually use presets ? 😄
Just about anyone whose experienced used presets. In fact the more experaince a photographer has the more he uses them as they create not only speed but consistent edits important for high quality work. The only people who don't use presets are newbies who want to pretend they are special. But since Lightroom is designed to be used with presets, it just shows their lack of experaince.
Well said @@Seimstudios
