Question Lightroom 4.1 tips and installation

Hello

I better 3.6 LR LR 4.1 on my laptop Windows 7 with 8 gigs ram. I need to free up space on my internal hard drive, so I'm moving my images on an external hard drive 1 t, connected via usb 2.0, unfortunately.

  • question 1: is - it matter in which order I do the above? In other words, should I do the upgrade to 4.1 first and then move my images/catalog to the external hard drive or do I move my pictures and then upgrade?

I've heard of how LR 4.1 is slower than LR 3.6, so I am, a little worried about performance.

  • question 2: someone at - it specific advice on the LR configuration for best performance in light of my files is stored on the external hard drive via USB 2?

(I use this computer for web surfing and image programs.) Not to mention LR, I have also run Camera Raw, PS CS 5 and Premiere Elements. I thought I'd do two images of catalogs-again I suggest to hd and film ext clips that I want to keep on the internal hard drive. Who is? )

Thanks in advance,

D

Doesn't matter, as long as you do it right

It is slower for some people and not slower for others. I don't think that anyone in these forums has understood what the reason is for slow on some computers. The only thing you can do is try it on your computer. Moreover, as I have read, in Lightroom performance problems are unrelated to USB 2.

Nope, several catalogues never made sense to me. You simply reduce your effectiveness by having several catalogues here. A catalog is easier, this way you won't have to switch back, you never wind up importing in the wrong catalog, you can search through all your photos and videos, etc. A catalog is the way to go.

Also, did I mention that a catalog is the right way to go? Because if I didn't mention it, let me say that a catalog is the way to go.
