Even after spending $6K, this guy still found Lightroom to be slow. What's interesting is that Adobe’s Tom Hogarty reached out and offered to let the guy try out some Lightroom improvements that are still “in the works”. Sheesh!

Another great sunset last night for a pano shot of Auckland, from the other side of the city to what I normally shoot.

Wow. And the last update was supposed to make it faster (it didn’t). DXO used to be super slow, but they’ve improved a lot. Amazing that Adobe can’t figure out how to speed up. If I were a pro and needed to turnaround thousands of wedding photos, I’d be all in on C1.

What's interesting is that the user has ideas on how to cull OUTSIDE of lightroom. I find this to be very important if you want a fast workflow. Combine that with preparing your DNG's, you can speed up workflow quite a bit.

Working on HDR pano's like that article, will be slow to very slow, just no way around that. It's everything else that concerns me. If day to day snaps are slow..... it would be annoying as heck.

i had a computer built about a year and half ago ..
Asus x99 mb
i7 6800
asus gtx 1070
32ddr ram(corsair)
liquid cooled(corsair)
1tb ssd(evo)

aprox $2400..
originally built with video editing in mind..runs like a champ with 1080(unless i go too crazy with special effects ) .. proxies still needed for 4k ...

for light room and PS.. i was satisfied .it was a little bit sluggish with Fuji files.. but they did admit that its a work in progress (no updates in a while).. but it was acceptable.
well , until i got a7r3.. now LR can be a bit annoying ..especially when zoomed in / panning

while my build was definely not top of the line , (certainly not for video editing) i thought it would hang in well with LR when i got the a7r3

i was thinking to take in to some one to maybe tweak it and see if i can get better overall performance.. it is overclocked 17% using ASUS built in software .. i didn't notice any differenc though

but yeah that guys parts are better and more up to date than mine.. and if he's still struggling then theres no hope for my modest build

Gene, what say I ship you 10-12 Cardinals for one Anna's
Even with 400 with or without TC amazing detail, you must be able to kiss them.

'“The machine is definitely an improvement but not a night-and-day kind of difference. For that to happen, the software just needs to become much more efficient with resources.”'
Glad to read that part or else I'd have a fancy.

I don't know if we will see a significantly faster Lightroom Classic (hate that name) version. It appears that Adobe is more committed to Lightroom CC.

Yep agree. Whenever I'm adding local adjustments such as the radial or gradient filter and especially the brush adjustments, Lightroom crawls. Culling has improved a little but it could be faster.

Nice build. Yeah these large 42MP files are tough for Lightroom to handle.

Pardon me if I already shared this version of the Progreso Building without the car light trails.

that's a great lens to play around with...if you can heft it

Have you guys updated your photoshop. it has this new feature called Select Subject which i thought is a very good starting point then just fine tune it with a lasso tool or pen tool.

please excuse my sleepy voice. It's a quick test video i created for Pratik Naik because he's skeptical to update

Dustin Abbott just uploaded a video on color science between Sony and Canon. Very interesting results.

Finally got a chance to view this. It would be nice if Dustin would do a comparison after using a custom profile via colorchecker passport. Anyway, I’ve always loved colors from both systems...they each have a unique look.
