I just have to say thank you so much. I was all set to go buy a new laptop until I found your post. Just implementing the one tweak to my graphics card sped things 10x. My CPU was getting crushed everytime I used the app, and now it actually runs respectably. You Rock.

Thanks for this video, I have 70k images in my catalog, mostly on a network drive. my catalog turned out to be full of junk and I managed to clean it up. my lightroom is much faster now.

[@DanielAVphotomassacre]

Thanks for this Parker. This was extremely helpful.

Hi, thanks for the information. Can these smart previews be created at the time of import? Or when you do it that way, it optimizes the program better so that it runs faster. Thanks.

[@exogendesign4582]

smart preview ruins editing experience specially if you are pixel peeping. It doesn't do any purpose other than add memory hog and eating extra space in your storage.

Hi, question, every other video say that I have to put my catalog in the faster SSD I have, also the cache! I have Apple studio 48core, 64ram and a very fast Ssd 2.700 megas per minutes. But still notice when I pass the next photo in the develop mode is a little bit slower. Even with this hardware.

[@jacobpurvis1482]

I highly doubt its hardware I only have 12 cores, 1tb SSD, a 3080 and 32gb RAM. Mine runs well. I believe you mean 2.7 gigabytes/s. 2.7 megabytes/s is extremely slow.:)

[@MarkAKathurima]

I have a 12 core machine, 64GB RAM and my LR catalog lives on an 8TB HDD, but it still takes LR approx 45 seconds between me clicking the icon to open it, and it opening the most recent image in my library. I have tried all the optimizations here with very little improvement in performance. I did close LR and reopen it and when I did so, startup time was a much more acceptable 10 seconds.

[@ParkerPhotographic]

You'll see a vast speed improvement with an SSD over an HDD. At this point, you've done everything you can to maximize the speed of Lightroom. Unfortunately, the only thing left is a faster (internal) Hard Drive.

[@jacobpurvis1482]

10 sec is very respectable. This isn't chrome, light room has a lot more to load than most other applications.

[@FilmPhotographyChannel]

Great information. My LrC sped up immediately based on your tips. Thanks!

[@ghilesbardi]

Thank you sir! =)

[@edilsonfaberruizrivera7262]

Super ... Thanks sir

[@RebeccaBuehler-Yount]

enabling gpu acceleration is making my images 30% lighter in develop mode than they should be. This occurred after a lightroom update a couple of months ago. My operating system (macbook pro) is up to date. I can't find a fix anywhere. this is so frustrating. if anyone has suggestions, i'd be very grateful. Adobe support tends to communicate as if you're a fellow IT professional and their suggestions haven't helped thus far.

Thats zero effect on exposure.. None.

[@bomac10]

You are wonderful this is great thank you very much

[@djovak3236]

I got RX 7900 XTX, R7 7800x3d, 32GB 3x m2 drives etc. AND LIGHTROOM AFTER 2 MONTHS WORKS LIKE TRASH. SO SHIT PROGRAM

[@djovak3236]

I fixed my issue by uninstalling my anti virus. (avast)

[@myha3622]

same case for me, but only with new version like 13 etc, older, 11 for example works smooth. newer is terrible, cropping freezes and switching between images takes upto a second

[@christopheserphotography]

Nothing worked, I have to buy a new laptop.

[@MrDan1509]

Buy a Mac and stop kidding yourself!
