Another SLOW Lightroom Thread

Just another thread to document the major issues I'm having with Lightroom 4.
System: Dell Studio XPS running Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel i7-720QM, 8 GB RAM 1333MHz, 500 GB HD, ATI Radeon 4670 1GB with Wacom Intuos 5
Working in the Develop module has been completely unacceptable and is costing me hours of editing time and frustrating, which means its costing me money. Everything from navigating between photos to adjusting slider bars seems to be laggy to put it lightly. After using the Adjustment Brush, making universal changes is taking forever! And if I got back to create an additional adjustment with the Adjustment Brush tool, it's almost not even worth it because it is so slow to respond. Similar to the slow downs after using the Adjustment Brush tool, any changes made after making any adjustments in the Lens Correction tab seem to be super sluggish as well. Oh top of it all, my computer is running extremely hot when running Lightroom, which ever occured in past versions!
I've tried several suggestions that I've seen in forums, such as creating a fresh Catalog and importing the files directly into that new Catalog, hiding the Histogram to free up resources, reducing the size of the Catalog to just the working set I'm currently working on... I've now installed the 4.1 RC and do seem to see some increase in response with the sliders within the develop module, but once I start using the Adjustment Brush and Lens Correction, it seems to be back to it's sluggish self. And after editing a few photos, the entire program is crawling.
I think it's great that Adobe has such a strong following that people seem to be so understanding and patient about these issues, but find it unacceptable that such an unpolished release was issued to the public. If the issues are eventually remedied I will be fully on board with Lightroom, once again, because I do think that the revamped develop module has been a major improvement for editing and workflow, but all those improvements are pretty useless when I'm losing so many hours battling with performance issues.

No changes, nothing at all, in actual fact I don't even have a PC connected to this broadband line it's purely for the games consoles. I have a separate broadband line for my home office etc.
Just had a call from BT India, with out wishing to sound derogatory I might as well talk to my pet cat. Apparently they were ringing to see if the problem had been resolved, I only reported it 2 hrs ago.

Yet another slow speed thread....

Every so often I have issues with the speeds pertaining to my two BT Broadband lines into my house.
So here we go again, I've problems with one of the lines which for my rural village location usually nets very good results...
Normally I get this :-
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
Your DSL connection rate: 3072 kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP profile for your line is - 2500 kbps
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 2332 kbps
Presently I'm getting:-
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
Your DSL connection rate: 1344 kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP profile for your line is - 1000 kbps
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 878 kbps
Why I ask does the speed keep changing, today BT India claims it's a line CHOKE problem, likely story.
Net result wait another 48 hours for another phone call.
I get these issues every 6 months or so, I suspect the grass wouldn't be any greener with other ISP.
Can anybody offer any thoughts?

Another slow macbook thread

As the title says really, for a few weeks now my 2012 Macbook Pro is running slow and freezing even doing the simplest of tasks like writing this message.
some info on my mac -
Macbook Pro 13inch 2012
2.5 GHz intel core i5
4GB 1600 ram
500gb sata disk
it suddenly just began to run slow so I did a fresh install of mavericks, no luck. So I did a fresh install of snow leopard again no luck and since then have worked back up and now running on Yosemite.
The only way the laptop seems to perform at an okay pace is if I am running disk utility, whether that be a verifying/repair the permissions or erasing free space... but still it is slow but at least it usable to some degree.
any ideas on what could be up?
the laptop was dropped from a considerable height last winter but after it happen the only damage was cosmetic and it performed fine until a few weeks back..
I have thought about replacing the disk or ram but I don't want to spend the money incase I'm wrong or missed out something
any help is appreciated? thanks adam.

Yet another grey folder thread, help!

Sorry for yet another grey folder thread, but here goes:
Today, earlier, installed Firefox update, along with some addon updates for that program. Quit Firefox and attempt to relaunch, relaunch fails. Reset computer, thinking that will do the trick, I now have grey folder with question mark.
Resolve attempts: reset pram = fail; apple care cd = will not launch/fail; disk utility from original install disks = fail; cannot get repair of disk or permissions to work, continually get error about "failing on exit"; safe mode launch = fail
So, I've done everything, and I've come to conclusion that I am f***, and my HDD is fried (but I hope I am wrong).
So, dear gurus, my question(s)
A) Is my HDD salvageable at all? is there some trick to getting the AppleCare cd to work? Anything?!?!
if not, then B) How can I recover my documents/music/pictures? Long story short, there are several things on there that never had a chance to make my back up schedule, and I desperately want to keep them. Any way to make/copy a disk image to save the docs/imgs, or Firewire them to an external hdd? Do I need to consider a professional HDD rescue?

Looks like a mechanical failure, and Apple won't cover the replacement due to a drop it sustained a year or two ago (the power cable was in, and it fell on the connection point, denting that in, Apple states there is a critical board their and that it would be $950 Tier 3 repair which I can't afford). So I'm going to try a Firewire Migration and a few other things and see if that works. If not, oh well. Thanks everyone for the ideas!

Another slow internet connection via Airport Extreme wireless thread

Has anyone actually solved this mystery? The last substantial thread I came across regarding this subject ended with a solution using a dell wireless driver. That ended somewhere in December. Any solutions, tips?

I seem to have found a fix, thanks to Michael G. Noll (http://www.michael-noll.com/blog/2006/07/24/intel-imac-wireless-connection-slowd own-with-wpatkip/).
I switched to WAP Personal from WEP and my iMac is now able to connect via wifi from a router in another room, and at normal speeds! Thanks Mike! I hope it lasts. I also changed my routers channel and made it static instead of automatic, but I don't think this had anything to do with the fix (though it may have solved my MacBooks problem of dropping the connection for a second every minute or 2).
I still have the problem of having to manually select my network after start-up and wake-up, however. It does not turn on automatically.

Another slow Apple TV thread

I know this has been raised before but im largely out of ideas.
I have an ATV (3rd gen) - it's up-to-date software wise. I am using the ATV plugged into the net via ethernet.
I have a 100mb connection (photo attached) - DNS servers are set to my isp's preferred settings...
I have reset/restored...without any difference.
Key question.
Why the **** is it so SLOW to download tv shows? Seriously, it takes 15-20 minutes to buffer at times. While at other times it downloads and buffers within 30 seconds. Is there something wrong with Apple servers?
In the words of an ex-girlfriend, "It's not me - it's you".
Please fix.

Hi, thanks for replying.
In relation to your questions:
diesel vdub wrote:
Is the slowness specific to iTunes downloads? Netflix? YouTube? or all streaming content?
Has the ATV been reset or restarted?
Has the router been power cycled?
Has the ethernet cable been replaced?
Has a different port on the router been tried?
1) Just itunes downloads. Others (we don't have Netflix in Aus...well, leagally anyway) work fine.
2) Yes - see above email
3) Yes - but im not sure what the point of that would be given the ATV isnt working on the router as it's through an ethernet cable.
4) Yes and tested - hence the speed test to show the slowness isn't from the cable but from the connection to itunes servers.
5) No, Ill give that a shot but im not optimistic.

Can anyone help?? Another new MacPro thread....

Hi all.
Another person here having big issues with PP CC 2014 on the new MacPro..
A little background;
I've been having issues with PP for years. Previously I was a photographer, and Lightroom was my software of choice. That was a great Adobe experience, pretty faultless software really...
Then when I moved to video it was a different story... obviously it's a whole different ballgame dealing with video files, I've not had much luck with my editing workflow!
I was working off an underpowered PC first, then was on a few Macbook Pros. Eventually, I got the go ahead to get a new MacPro from my employer, I thought that would solve all my problems! How wrong I was!
Even after the apparent "fix" for the GPU issues, I'm still having problems...
I'm no Adobe basher....No one wants PP to work well more than me (Al Mooney got highly offended on Twitter after I suggested PP might be slightly less than perfect!)
I'm hoping I might get some tips to improve performance or even a fix for the issues I'm having.
Here's the gist of my specs, can give more if needed;
Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C109)
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
My main drive is a G RAID 8GB TB2
So,
My main issue is that when a sequence gets more complex, the performance dips massively, to the point where it's unusable and crashes constantly.
The timeline freezes, the playhead is laggy, the system gets really slow to respond in general..... Maybe 15 seconds for the keyboard to respond to keypresses. (or else I need to tap spacebar twice instead of once to get it to respond). If I try to make any change on the timeline that anything more than a simple delete etc, the system can freeze and I need to force quit.
Another symptom is that when quitting the program, often it doesn't quit properly and I need to force quit.
The sequences I'm working on don't seem that demanding (especially give the machine I have) so it's really confusing as to what the issue is.
We're talking videos usually in the 2 -5 minutes range. Maybe 4 video layers. Footage wise; generally 1080p XAVC from a Sony F5, some Canon 4K from a 1DC. Can PP really handle native footage, should I be transcoding??? One of the big benefits of PP is the apparent ability to handle native formats, so it's really disappointing if that's the issue....
I do use a reasonable amount of plugins, like Izotope for denoising dialogue, the dreaded Red Giant plugins, and occasionally Red Giant Denoiser (is this the root of my problems??!). My current project has two layers keyed interviews (2 angles) and I'm using Ultrakey for that. (I bought Red Giant Primatte Keyer, but my system isn't powerful enough to run it without major issues....ridiculous!!)
If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. I've read other threads but my issue seems different. I can't rule out that I'm making some obvious mistake in my workflow either... so any general workflow best practise tips in that regard would be good too.
Sorry for the long thread and thanks for reading.

Hi healyb2,
Sorry you're experiencing this issue.
I think I've identified one of the issues, Izotope 4 Dialogue Denoiser.....
I've disabled it on an existing sequence and the crashes have stopped (for now).
Let us know if these issues crop up again. You can let us know directly here: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug
So, possibly (like Red Giant) Izotope plugins may not work usably in Premiere Pro....... which really grinds my gears......
Actually, we work hand in hand with plug-ins developers in the realm of compatibility. Some of these plug-ins companies are quite small so you have to pay close attention to precisely what is supported for the host application. In some cases, it takes some time to catch up to the latest versions.
why are Adobe not calling out the plugins as not usable? What about the plugin manufacturers themselves? I can't see this being a performance issue on my end...frustrating!
That's actually up to the plug-ins manufacturers. Please communicate with them accordingly regarding compatibility. Sorry for any confusion this may have brought about.
Thanks,
Kevin

Very slow Lightroom 4.4 to Photoshop CS6 in Windows 8

I have a problem with my Windows 8 computer. Please notice that on this computer I did not change any of the default settings in the operating system, it is a clean install of Windows 8. I have also installed the latest version of Photoshop and Lightroom directly from my Adobe Application Manager software (I am a Creative Cloud member).
What happens is that I have to wait 30-50 seconds after I give, in Lightroom, the command "Modify in -> Photoshop CS6" (I have the software in Italian and I hope that this translation is correct. Here is the command that I am using:
The very strange thing that happens is that Photoshop opens fast (5 seconds, I have an SSD) and Lightroom is very fast too.
Here is the strange thing. Photoshop opens after I launch the command.
Then nothing seems to happen for 30-50 seconds (sometimes also more time). After this “long” period of time this error appears in Lightroom:
It says: "you can't modify this file because Photoshop CS6 can't be started". However, this is not true! Photoshop is running correctly, and it was running! This happens if Photoshop was started from Lightroom and if Photoshop was running before Lightroom command "Modify in -> Photoshop CS".
Another strange thing is that, after I press "OK" to this error message, the file immediately opens in Photoshop!
Please notice that this behavior happens also with a series of file. If, for example, I export 10 files from Lighroom, then, after about one minute, I get 10 error messages in Lightroom, and, when I press OK, the files will open in Photoshop (for each "OK" that I press a file opens, so I have to press 10 times OK to open my 10 files!).
This very strange behavior is eating my time and I am very disappointed! It is very difficult to get in touch with Adobe support and I decided to use this forum to get some help. After you pay monthly for the Cloud software you wish that a good support came included with what you pay, but it seems that this is not true!
Please help me if you can!

Vittorio,
1. At this point my suggestion would be first to check are you the Admin of your system or not.
2. Try uninstall and Photoshop first and make sure you select the option Remove Preferences when you doing an uninstall.
3. After that try a fresh install of Photoshop.
4. If that doesnt help try uninstall and reinstall or LR & PS too by same way.

Yet another colour management thread

Here is a warm, saturated image worked on in lightroom, converted to adobe RGB on export, converted to SRGB on output from photoshop. (srg profile not embedded).
Its far too saturated and red
Here is the same image with the adobe rgb tagged.
and as srg with the profile embedded.
Now my understanding is that in IE all of these will display the same (and they do, i've tested it), and they all look like the oversaturated red one. I also understand that the gamut of your monitor will affect just how red they actually appear.
Windows also displays them all the same - the uber red version.
So the question is - how the frick are we supposed to supply these to our clients? Bearing in mind they all have different monitors, browsers, OS's. I've just had the client on the phone complaining about the saturation and it just sounds like so much ******** waffling about gamut and colour managed browsers.
Are you to just avoid warm saturated images? Is there an application that we can distribute with the images that will display them correctly? Because if I leave them on a DVD I have no control over what viewer will mangle the colour management.
I'd love some feedback on how other photographers deal with this issue.
EDIT: and joy of joys, adobe obviously strips out the colour managment when these are posted - because the 2nd two look correct in the edit window, but the same as the first when I post it

I clearly see the differences in you screen shot, although my version of IE seems to obey the color profiles I embed in our imagery.
I deal with color management like others in this thread - I use calibrated monitors, I profile using sRGB (the lowest common denominator tag for general digital distribution IMO) and advise my clients to do the same (calibrate!). Some commercial clients require CMYK, in that case I edit completly in sRGB and only convert to CMYK when creating final delivery imagery. I use Adobe PS default CMYK settings and I specify this up front in contractual agreements. I have yet to get many complaints that cannot be explained by failure to understand the huge variations in hardware and software that a viewer of digital images might encounter. This allows me to do the best I can and you gotta just let the rest go .

Yet another DVD Playback thread...

Sort of looks like hardware issues to me. Do you know that the drive works (i.e. tested in another OS, or it used to work and just stopped?)
Did you try just mplayer dvd:// ? That's quite a long options list you've got there.
What kind of drive is it?

Another T60 help thread

Ok, so I have quite a few issues.
I have:
-T60 200749U - Windows 7- 2GB - Dual HDD
-Advanced Dock 2503 - ATI Radeon HD 5450
Now lets tend to the most annoying issue I have.
Ever since I got this thing the headphone jack has not worked properly.
It didn't work when I ran XP, it worked when I ran Vista but only when the switch in the lower left was to the left., now on 7 Ethernet and Headphone ports don't work.
Anyhelp with this would make me a happy guy.
The next thing has to do with my Dock situation.
I got my Advanced dock and installed a ATI graphics card with it.
Now I installed the driver for the card and Catalyst control center changed the settings in BIOS.
All is working fine, I have aero and great picture when plugged into the dock.
Now my issue is that when I am not on the dock I am stuck with Windows basic (which I hate) because I don't have the drivers for the X1300.
Before I installed catalyst and the drivers for the dock's card I had aero running just fine.
I found and tried installing the legacy drivers for the X1300 but that has an old version of Catalyst that doesn't support my Dock's card.
VGA out on the laptop itself no longer works either.
I have a desktop gadget that recognizes the GPU but windows doesn't
I have tried everything I can think of and after 5 system restores and a ton of searching I have had no luck.
Please help.
I had another question but forgot it.
Anyhelp is appreciated and thanks to you all in advance.

Another BORIS MISSING thread.

Hi,
I've been looking at several BORIS MISSING threads trying to find a solution, and have not found a good one yet. Here is my problem:
Originally purchased FCP studio 5.0 in 2005. Noticed Boris was missing (never needed it) about a year ago and never figured out how to get it back (didn't try very hard). Upgraded to 5.1.4 about two weeks ago, and it's still missing. Trashing preferences doesn't help.
The specifics:
Boris does not show up under generators in effects tab or in viewer generators popup.
BorisFX folder is in Application Support as it should be, and all necessary files (as mentioned in other threads) seem to be in place. What's more, if I create another account, BORIS WORKS. But I don't want to login to another account every time I want to use Boris.
Something I've noticed: I seem to recall that Boris file icons in Application Support>BorisFX were some sort of "Kind: After Effects" Icons prior to my 5.1.4 install (also prior to my recent purchase of Photoshop). Now they are either "Kind: Unix Executable File" or (under BorisFX>Gradient Styles) "Kind: Adobe Photoshop Gradient File". Would this have anything to do with my problem? Anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks,
Matt

1. Open your system Plugins folder (not your own FCP User Data folder):
Macintosh Hard Drive/Library/Applications Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins
2. Copy these folders to the desktop:
Text Scrambler.bundle
Title 3D.bundle
Title Crawl.bundle
Vector Shape.bundle
3. Change the extensions on all four desktop files from bundle to .plugin
This requires password authentication. They will become blank icons.
4. Delete the original .bundle folders from the Plugins folder
7. Move the desktop .plugin files to the Plugins folder
8. Launch FCP and they should now show up under the "Boris"
generators category

Another "slow" EBS question

Hello experts.
Yesterday I received a call from frustrated user that theEBS system was "slow". After asking the usual questions -
when does the slowness become an issue (middle of day)
does it affect everyone (yes) and all modules (yes)
are there any specific screen errors (none)
I decided it must be a problem with the database. I then made the following checks:
processes on server
errors in alert log
files space and tablespace
queried v$session_longops (nothing obvious) and v$session
ran statspack: Top 5 Waits:
free buffer waits
db file sequential read
db file scattered read
buffer busy waits
CPU time
checked to see if any long running or errored cc requests - none
reviewed Apache and JServ logs and nothing to report
I spoke again to customer today who said that maybe there are users who, instead of querying the Reporting Database, are actually hitting the Production database directly with long running reporting queries.
How can I identify long running queries (each time I hit the v$session_longops view I could see nothing obviously expensive in terms of time).
How can I see which SQL statements are costing the database? (the end of this post is from the statspack, but Im not sure it can help - I need to know SID and SERIAL# of the query to find user, I think?)
In essense, I need to go to the client and say "this SQL is costing you" - but I am struggling how to do it.
Please help, if you can.
Thank,

Hi user;
What is your EBS and OS?Also your database version?
There could be many reason to have some performance issue on EBS. Firstly please check below Notes and compare it with your settings:

Another slow speed question !

Hi all, trying to find out why such as slow speed. I live about 1/4 mile from the exchange. Have phoned BT 2 weeks ago who said an engineer will look in to it, but not heard anything as yet. So was trying to see if its a prob within the house. We only have the 1 socket in the house.
Thanks for any help or ideas .

Surprise surprise, yep on a fixed line 512. First guy i spoke to at sales said he hadn't heard of a half meg contract, then i said a FL 512 and he said "oh, i'll just have a look for you " came back and said he would transfer me to another sales dept who might be able to sort out a new contract. Next guy, when i told him the situation and the FL512 he said " yeah, thats exactally what you've got ". Sorted a new deal and hopefully should be getting 7.5mb next week. So i hope i wont be back here next week !
Thanks for your help
Steve
