Lr Classic 7.2 released

Ps, and Acr were also updated. Besides new camera support and bug fixes, the release is about performance increases.

Note that 12GB of memory is getting to be the recommended min amount. I suspect that most Lr users use at least 16GB if they have a machine that can load that much.

...I just did an export speedtest.

It normally takes a couple of hours, sometimes longer to upload 200 images via the "photoshelter" plugin to my photoshelter archives. How it works is Lightroom creates a physical JPEG into a temporary folder, the uploader uploads it, then the JPEG gets deleted. It was always the export part of the process that slowed things up: the upload wouldn't take long at all.

On my first speedtest I clicked upload, went to do a couple of things, then came back about a minute later and half the images had uploaded!

So I used the stop-watch on the second test: 2 minutes 52 seconds to upload 182 images (5600 on the long side.) That's an incredible speed boost...and my computer isn't even that powerful. It will speed up my workflow considerably.

You lucky so and so having a decent upload speed. Even my old 10 year old laptop, that died back in 2016 could comfortably export JPEG files at a speed that was limited by my upload speed. I only upload to Flickr at 1280 long edge too.

I'm having issues after upgrading to 7.2. Lightroom becomes unresponsive in Develop module. I have to restart LR and then things will work for a little while before freezing up again.

I upgraded two days ago and I am running some tests, so far so good, but too soon to tell.
There are also a couple of new function, nothing mind blowing but quite useful
