Default LR4

Has anyone that has LR4 noticed that it runs slower than LR3?

On my very fast system, there is a noticeable lag between moving the sliders and the image updating. That was not evident in LR3.

Opinions?

For those that may ask, I have:

i7-2600K Ocd to 4.3Ghz
16 gbs Ram
HD 6950 2 gb RAM video card
1 tb 7200 RPM program drive
2 tb 7200 RPM data drive.

I agree. It also seems to use a lot more resources than LR3. Initially I like the LR3
sliders better - but you can change between LR processes in the Camera Calibration tab. So I'm sure that will get by until I have adjusted to the new sliders.

The soft proofing seems better than in Photoshop CS5.5 But I'll see when I get my photos back tomorrow.

I was really hoping they would add a means to convert by profile when exporting, but I do not see it.

I agree as well. It runs noticeably slower. This was present in the beta version, I had hoped it would be worked out.

Just increased Camera Raw Cache Settings from the default 2.0 GB to 10.0 GB and it made a big difference in performance. Try it.

Adobe has just made available a Release Candidate, Lightroom 4.1, here: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.1 Release Candidate | photo management software prerelease - Adobe Labs . It is supposed to help with some of the "slowness" problems and adds support for the raw files from the new Canon 5D Mark III.

Does the cache block the amount all the time or only when you start LR. Anybody know.



[And thanks for the karma, Clint].

It runs slower for me because it is crashing ALL THE TIME (at least in the maps module).

Read somewhere that closing the film strip will improve performance. Can't verify that because I work on one pic at a time.

Worth trying.
