• Spotting in Lightroom 5 tool

  My spotting in Lightroom 5 tool doesn't seem to work properly. When you use the tool, it does not show the second circle that indicates where it is sampling and, therefore, I can't manually move similar to another place. I have to reset something?

  I thought about it through videos of Anthony Morganti. I hit the "h" key to hide earlier. I needed again hit the "h".

• Spotting and slow system after a few clicks

  Hi all

  I just wanted to draw your attention to a very annoying problem. If you use the function of spotting several times in a session of lightroom, you end up with unable to use it more if you don't come out of lightroom and start from scratch.

  What I mean is that, after a few clicks on the spotting on 2-3 images, when you use again the number of photo 4, for example, the function is almost unusable (very slow movements that make it impossible to put the tool spot in the right place).

  If you then exit lightroom and try again everythimg is fine for awhile. It seems that it is allocating memory every time that you use IT... everyone is having the same problem? No idea how to fix? I've dealt with that since previous versions, and it has never ben resolved (if it is indeed a bug!).

  Thank you all!

• When upgrading from lightroom 5.7 to lightroom Brush tool CC is very slow, how can I get same preformance of CC I got 5.7?

  Hi mknevelbaard

  Could you please uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" in preferences > Performance

  

  Check if the Brush tool does not improve

  If still the same reset Lightroom preferences after you have saved your catalog

• Freezing of Lightroom with tool Wacom and Spot change

  4.2 Lightroom

  Windows 7

  Wacom Intuos 5

  When using the place change tool and my Wacom pen, it freezes for several seconds on some files lightroom. Same types of files and locations may not the problem, but some do. Happened on TIF, PSD and cR2s. The cursor disappears and not displayed when placed above the window of LR. I can access the other windows and the slider works very well. He didn't tell me the program is not responding, but I can't do anything with it. After 30 seconds or so the cursor appears and I can work. However, if I try to use the stylus and task editing tool once again on the same image, it causes the delay in cursor again. If I use my mouse, no delay. Sometimes, it happens not with Wacom pen. User perspective seems to be random what files it happens and that it is not.

  Hi Amanda

  As I said I tried to soiolve it for weeks and then after you reply to your message, I found a solution in forums of wacom. Basically, you will need to disable penflics in windows and the ripple effect that occurs when you click with the pen. http://Forum.Wacom.EU/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8036

  I hope this helps, I've also upgraded to the new version of lightroom 4.3

• Lightroom Mobile sync is unusably slow

  Synchronization performance Mobile LR is almost unusably bad.  Is there a way to improve this?

  I tried to synchronize the 2000 pictures of my iPhone 6 s + LR Office.  It has been three evenings of babysitting this process, and it's even lower to half way through.  I'm on the last iOS10 and iCloud as library lit.  Using the latest versions of LR (2015.7 CC on desktop) and 2.5.2 on iPhone

  Three key questions:

  • LR Mobile used 6.04 GB of space
    (and I had not quite free, so synchronization kept at a standstill until I manually deleted important applications)
    
    I think LR do not use this extra space - I take lots of photos and keep that much free space.
    
    
  • Download happens only when LR Mobile is in the foreground
    When the lock screen comes up or I going on apps, pictures stop sync'ing
    
    It's annoying seriously - many other applications photos most popular have had reliable background downloading for 3 years.
    
    
  • Download speed seems to slow down unexpectedly
    I expect my office to receive the file as fast as my local Wifi network can manage (i.e. at least one photo per second)
    Instead, it looks more like a photo every 10-20 s
    
    I agree with Creative cloud being finally compatible - I want to have these photos ready to change it as soon as POSSIBLE.
    
    This seems almost reasonable if LR Mobile Download the full resolution of iCloud photo library, then re - download to CC and then download to the desktop.  Almost.
    Download my internet connection usually at 50Mbps speed tests / 10 Mbps upload.
    
    But add the speed of slow synchronization as well as the synchronization does not not in background, and it's kind of a show stopper.
    
    

  I like the idea of having my phone automatically synchronize with LR Desktop.  The magical promise sounds so much better than to have to remember to manually import photos; However, in practice, creative cloud synchronization does not seem to work pretty well.

  Hi Bryanc,

  Thanks for the detailed thread.

  I think the problem is the lack of space on your Phone.Check how much space looms as being available in Lr App.

  It is planned to Lr mobile to take a maximum of 10 dry to synchronize each image that it's the full Res DNG(if opted) sync.

• Release of Lightroom CC 2015.6 VERY SLOW!

  Hi guys,.

  I use Lightroom CC 2015.6 contacted Camera RAW 9.6 out of 10 Pro 64 bit and I have pretty decent rig: i7 6950 X (10 carrots), Asus Radeon Strix 1080 GTX, 64 GB 3200 RAM, SSD on PCI.  'Use the graphics processor' is enabled in my preferences of LR, but I don't see an important when different it is turned off.

  First of all it takes LR about 3-4 seconds per image to build 1:1 previews, which means several hours if I have thousands of images from a shoot.

  When I try to get a glimpse of some of the images at 100%, and to quickly move between them it works fine for maybe 5 minutes and then it starts to slow down: it takes LR seconds to create each preview and also from seconds to move between images. Furthermore, the previews are 3840px in size and average quality.

  In Manager tasks I can see that at the start after start LR uses only 5-10% of my CPU resources and about 2 to 5 GB of RAM, but after a few minutes the use of RAM increases 15-20 GB and that's when LR becomes very slow. It seems he keeps each image previewed in memory and not release to the system when I close the preview.

  I also tried another software to compare and other programs were significantly faster (Aftershot Pro is the fastest, followed by DXO Optics Pro and Capture One).

  So it seems that this problem is strictly linked to the software and not to my material at all. Also, I noticed that after the recent updates, so I wonder if relling until one of the earlier versions might help.

  Ideas to improve my experience with the latest edition of LR?

  I'm really scared, because I don't really have time to wait for the software when working on thousands of images each week.

  Your response will be appreciated. Thank you!

  Adobe Lightroom GPU troubleshooting and FAQ

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Lightroom/KB/Lightroom-GPU-FAQ.html

  You have your system configured to save all 1:1 previews in your catalog for ever? I set mine to delete every 30 days, so I don't have all that stored somewhere in a cache with LR.

  

  Because it goes so slow down anyway I don't think you have much to lose by trying to clear your cache. But read up on it before making this decision.
  

  In addition, if your photos are stored on an external I wonder if there is a problem with this external hard drive bus speed?

  Or if it's all beings stored on your local disk with the OS and applications, maybe it's having a shape any conflict with something the OS or a partner app? Do you think these performance issues when other applications are turned off? Just think-tanking with you here because it seems to have no else responded yet.
  Hope of those is the solution.

• How can I get a license perpetual worm 5.7.1 Lightroom dehaze tool?

  Hello, I submitted to the forum to see how I move my license for Lightroom 5 to a version that I can use the effects Dehazing tool.  The online chat person said that I need to find an expert on this forum to help me.

  Can you tell me what I should do with this perpetual Lightroom 5.7.1 I have so I can get this feature?  Do I need to upgrade to version creative Cloud?  If so what is the cost?  This just doesn't feel like the right place for this type of question, but it has been the link they gave me.

  Thank you

  LuAnn

  When I click on CC from the icon in the upper right corner of my IMAC, it opens a box to select update my Lightroom CC application.  When you click on it a pop up said that it could not update because there was "permission issues" with some files.

  To put an end to this conversation, I want to thank you for trying to help.  I ended up calling the place I got my IMAC to to see if they could help me that Lightroom was looking for permissions.  They were hidden files and I really didn't want to mess with them.  They could not help me, but gave me an 800 number to call support Adobe Creative Cloud!  They connected to my computer and adjusted permissions and now everything works fine.  If calling support was the way to solve this problem.

  Thank you very much

• Lightroom bald-makingly tedious and slow

  My wife's attempt to run Lightroom on our 2012 end Mac Mini: Intel 2,3 GHZ processor; 4 concerts of mostly unused RAM, OSX 10.9.5. She has a Nikon D750. We have never done this before and we are technicians sophisticated nor photographers sophisticated. All about Lightroom is prehistoric, madly, bald-makingly slow. My inclination is: we'll have to buy a computer with a faster processor and more RAM. Any help?

  Thanks in advance. General computer buying tips (I prefer the PC to Mac) host as well.

• Lightroom CC 2015.2.1 slow and freezing up

  Hi all!

  I use Lightroom CC per day to sort and edit hundreds of images by casting. It's my lifeblood for the work!

  The program has worked flawlessly until the update to 2015.2.1. After the update, I started to meet the constant lag while spending scrutinized in the Gallery of the library in my catalogs, as well as trying the module development allows you to change the basic elements of photography...

  I can hardly move around the program without having to wait 5 minutes for any movement appears on the interface. The filter metadata on the right, sometimes crashes and I have to force quit the application and restart my computer to get the program works again... for 5 minutes.

  
  

  After reading the help forums I have unchecked the use GPU, optimized my catalog, all saved as usual, still lower previews to the option of smaller size. No chance for the program become stable for me to use it with ease.

  Thank you for reading and please let me know if anyone has any advice as to why the interface freezes and performance stops whenever I run the program. I have included below the information about my software and hardware in case this is useful.

  Programs:

  Lightroom CC 2015.2.1

  Camera Raw 9.2

  Material:

  Computer: MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, end of 2015)

  Processor: Intel Core i7 2.3GHz

  RAM: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 M 2048 MB

  Storage: 500 GB SSD

  
  

  Best,

• Lightroom 6/CC export very slow

  Not just slow. Ridiculously, unusable, costs me slow money.

  The Setup is an i7 3.1 Ghz overclocked (running up to 3.3 GHz), 16 GB RAM, SSD (Samsung 850 Pro mSATA) with OS and app catalog, second SSD (SATA 850 Evo) with photos on, hide on RAM disk. Windows 10 and LR 6.11.

  Export is painful, but the current example is 131 Nikon D4S and D810 RAW files at 648-pixel wide < 200 k files (not my choice...). It is by replacing older versions and it took 20 minutes to bring up the dialog box "Do you want to overwrite?" and was more than an hour "export readiness. Based on the previous batch, I believe nothing will happen for about 40 minutes after the export dialog preparation goes missing, then it will start to export and take about an hour to do the export. Before the last update, I think that the entire sequence would have been 5-10 minutes... I optimized the catalog, but that did not help.

  I also have problems to export in Lightroom 2016/CC. That's slow by glaciers

  Help > system information to check which version of LR that you are running.   If you are on LR CC 2015.2, it contains a serious bug with export: Lightroom version 2015.2 crashes Upon export/external edition.

  You can update to CC 2015.2.1, just released, and that may well solve the problem.  But there are many other issues widely reported to 2015.2 that 2015.2.1 does not correct.  So, me and others, recommend that return you to CC 2015.1.1, following the instructions here: how I roll back to Lightroom 2015.1.1 or Lightroom 6.1.1? . Wait until Adobe cleans up the mess and release 2015.3.

• Hi again! Upgrade to Lightroom CC and it's SLOW! I'm not able to regularly organize photos, help please!

  I just upgraded to Lightroom CC and is there a reason that is slower than my last version (3)? It's crazy, it does not meet all the other clicks, I'm not able to manually re-organize my pictures and all around performance is just terrible. Advice and or advice? Greatly appreciated!

  I disabled the new chart thing, and my "show pictures in subfolders" is checked.

  Thank you!!

  You have facial recognition ONE? Therefore, disable it. The largest catalogues that it continues to run in the background compilation Faces.This may result in slow performance

• How can I fix the Adobe Lightroom K tool?

  When I use the K tool in Lightroom, I can't know everything about the area, I paint to adjust with the toolbars. I can still the menu drop-down and click on things, but they don't do a thing.

  You use the adjustment brush. Check your flow and density; they may be too low. Also post a screenshot of your setting parameters:
