Camera Raw 7 extremely slow

CR7 is super slow when uploading raw files. For Canon 550D files (20MP), it takes about 10-12 seconds to open one single file.
Adjustements sliders are also too slow. it takes around 6-8 seconds to react (white balance too). So, it's unusable : adjustement sometimes appear after I have already done the next one..
Jpeg are not a problem.Photoshop is not a problem neither.
My computer is not to blame : Dell, i7, 12 GB ram, HD Radeon 4870, etc.
I hope Adobe is aware of the problem and we'll react promptly.

What i7 model? How many cores and what clock speed?
I ask because it's easy for questions like this to be confused with performance issues, where they may not be.
Also, for clarity, are you talking about the time it takes to do the actual conversion (i.e., to the point the image is open in Photoshop) or to initially display information in the Camera Raw dialog?
I just tested: A circa 2007 dual Xeon X5460 3.16 GHz processors (8 cores total) with a Canon EOS-T2i raw image:
With Photoshop CS6 already running, 1.4 seconds to display image in Camera Raw dialog after dragging and dropping on Photoshop.
1.6 seconds to open at 16 bits/channel in Photoshop after hitting [Open Image].

Camera raw 7 slow zoom in/out ,but fast process 2003 or 2010

Hi
i did notice that zoom in or out in camera raw is slow , even in middle pc , i'm not talking about hi end pc
but i did find it's amazing fast if use process 2003 or 2010
may i use like default the 2003 or 2010 ?
how can i do it?
thanks
cheers

Just a suspicion: Adobe is adding more and more compute-intensive functionality in the newer versions - for example image analysis that affects the way the PV2012 controls work - in anticipation of more and more powerful computers. It's the normal way of things.
PV2012 seems to take about twice as long for me to complete a conversion than its predecessor. But on my reasonably powerful computer that's the difference between 2 and 4 seconds - no problem, really.
I'm not sensing any difference in zoom speed.
everytime i load a canon raw file , it 's always to 2012!
what 's wrong?
I don't know. Photoshop CS5 comes up with PV2010 for me for images I haven't opened before, because that's what I saved my Camera Raw Defaults as. I don't use the camera serial number/ISO specificity settings though.
Are you thinking of updating to Photoshop CS6? I mention this because the released version is available today.

[Camera Raw] Very slow previews on SSDultaniously

I need to work on 36 files (about 20Mb each) simultaneously opened in Camera Raw. I'm using the adjustment brush, the problem is that each file take 4-5 second to load and show me the preview. This is taking a lot of time.
The fact is that i'm now working on a SSD Hard drive, but nothing changed.
Is there a change to cut out dead times?
that's my current system:
MacPro 2 Quad Core 3Ghz Intel Xeon
Samsung SSD 128GB
Radeon X1900 512Mb Ram
10GB of ram 667mhz
Snow Leopard 10.6.2
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Adobe Bridge CS4
Camera Raw 5.5.0.97
Is that a resolvable problem or there's nothing to do?
Thanks
Filippo

another problem, when I go back to an already processed file (without quitting camera raw), CR realoads again the file... It shouldn't work that way! I've tried lightroom and it keeps memory of files (a bit), but LR doesn't fit in my workflow... and there's still the problem of the first loading...

IPhone 6 and 6 plus camera extremely slow when using flash

I have noticed that the iPhone 6 and 6 plus camera is extremely slow when using flash, it is definitely slower than iPhones 5 and 5s.
Any explanation/solution for this?

I Have done some more testing and it seems turning off HDR resolves the issue

Camera Raw 4.0 Fill Light Slider Not Working

Hi,
Just installed Photoshop CS3, and I'm having an annoying problem.
When using Camera Raw 4.0, all the sliders work smootly except for the Filli Light slider. Its the only slider that is almost impossible to adjust via dragging the slider via my mouse. Of course, this is probably my most frequently used adjustment.
The Photoshop CS3 was a clean install, directly from the CD provided by Adobe.
There was never any Beta version installed.
Sure hope that you can help.
Thanks,
Ira

The Fill Light adjustment is the single most processor intensive of all the controls in Lightroom. When you first move the slider it causes Camera Raw to generate a large blur copy of the image and that takes a bit if time. During that initial bit if time, fill Light will NOT be as responsive as the other controls in Lightroom...it only takes a moment but if you are trying to make adjustments while CR is building the mask, you'll get jittery results. The key to using it is to move the adjustment off zero, pause a bit while the mask is being generated and then start fine tuning the adjustment. After that initial move off zero is done, it should be about as fast as most of the other controls-and no, you DON'T want CR to auto-generate the mask for every image by default, it would make Camera Raw much slower overall.

RAW picture previews loading extremely slow since IOS 8 using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

Hi all
First, sorry for my poor english, I hope you understand my problem.
Device is iPad Air Wi-Fi with IOS 8.
I just realized this issue yesterday. I wanted to import some of my RAW pictures from my Nikon camera's SD card, using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit. In the Photos app / Import tab, the RAW picture previews show extremely slow. It takes a second to show each photo preview before import. A second for every single picture preview
For example, if you have 500 pictures on your SD card, and you want to import pictures from this card but just some selected, then you need to wait for an overview preview a lot of minutes. On IOS 7 this process was maybe 10 seconds for all of the pictures...

Same problem here. As a professional wedding photographer, sifting through my photos while on the go is the reason for me purchasing the iPad (Retina) 2 years ago, I now have an $800 paperweight after iOS8.x.x. Apple, if you actually read these, please inform your engineers to fix this in the next update or at least provide us with a solution to return to iOS7.x.x. Makes me wonder if there is any QA or testing that goes on before an update is released. As an FYI, here's my thread from a few weeks ago: Native Photos App, Slow... No, I mean really slow.

Camera Raw 6.0 (and Lightroom 3) extra slow, what's happening ?

Hi,
I'm having a very annoying issue with both CR 6.0 and LR 3 which is a very slow responsiveness in the photo previews.
A month ago, I was using Windows XP SP3 32bit on my machine (Intel Core Duo Q6600 (4x2.57Ghz cores) - 4Gb RAM). I had Photoshop CS4 with Camera Raw 5.x and Lightroom 2. Everything was very smooth.
Then, I moved to Windows Seven 64bit and CS5 with CR 6 and LR 3.
Now, I have exacly the same issue I had before bying my current 4 core PC, which is :
in Camera Raw, even scrolling the left thumbnails part is extremely slow (rendeing of image thumbnails), and appying the slightest change of a slider (even basic ones) takes about a second and sometimes two seconds to be applied to the image preview. Quite painful to use !
Same applies to adjustments and thumbnails in LR 3.
The thing is, the behaviour occurs even with Canon EOS 300D RAW files which are only 6 Megapixels !
I didn't try to go back to LR2 and CS4 to check yet, but well, looks quite surprising since LR3 was supposed to be a lot faster and responsive.
As it is a clean install, I have the latest set of video drivers (it's a ATI Radeon X4800).
Do you have any suggestions as to what I could do to fix this ?
Thanks !

Just out of curiosity, what was so awfully penalizing reponsiveness in ACR 6.0 ?
And, does Lightroom use the same internal 8bi plugin file to do the processing or do I have tu update Lightroom separately to get the responsiveness back ?
I don't know what they did, but I assume they rewrote some of the code which deals with some of the new process calculations and previewing, to be more processor-efficient.
Lightroom doesn't use the plug-in, as far as I know. I'd guess that would need a separate update. I haven't got it. You could tell us if it's any faster.

Preview loading is extremely slow in camera roll

Hi All,
I updated my ipad to 8.1. After that, preview loading is extremely slow in the camera roll. If I try to scroll between the photos in the camera roll, it took 4 to 5 seconds to move from one image to another image. This happens after the my ipad has been updated to 8.1
Is there any solution for this.

Hi erodevarun,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the Photos app is running slowly. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Camera Raw 7.2 "Updating Settings" slow!

Hello,
Since updating to CR 7.2, and when copying and pasting develop settings from one DNG image to another, there's now a rather pesky slow pop-up dialog "Camera Raw | Updating Settings." It's REALLY REALLY SLOW to update the DNG images compared to CR 7.1 (about 7-10 seconds per image), and it's definitely slower than CR 6.x. It really impacts my workflow. I cannot understand why Adobe would push out an update that HUGELY slows down the CR workflow!
Does anyone else notice this or is it just my setup? (I've rebooted, recreated DNG files, etc., but this workflow-stopping dialog still pops up and users must wait for it to complete.)
I'm running on a Win 7-x64 machine with 8MB RAM (although CR 7.1 worked fine in this regard, as far as I can remember).
Does anyone know how to go back to CR 7.1?

It's almost trivial to do if you've squirreled away a copy of the prior version of the plug-in. You just need to replace the Camera Raw.8bi file(s) with file(s) from the appropriate versions for 32 and 64 bits.
It's a little more difficult to return to 7.1 if you haven't kept a copy, but not impossible. In that case, seek out the Camera Raw 7.1 download online, download it, and unzip it. Work your way into it to find the two very large files, which aren't named what they'll need to be but actually contain the plug-in files for 32 and 64 bit versions (the folders they're in identify which).
Here are the sizes/dates on the pertinent files, and the naming convention I use to allow me to keep copies of each version of the plug-in in the folder, ready to be copied to the Camera Raw.8bi file in order to test a particular version of Camera Raw. Photoshop must be closed down to make the copy.
The first set listed is for the 64 bit plug-in, the second set for 32 bit.

Camera Raw 7 CS6 adjustments slow to operate.

I have updated to Photoshop CS6 and I'm having a problem with camera raw adjustments.
When loading a batch of images into camera raw all is fine then after a few images have been adjusted everything slows down. Adjustment controls take 1-3 seconds to activate when clicked on.
Using MacPro 2.66 Nehalem 8 core, 32GB RAM, OS 10.6.8, ATI Radeon HD 4870
Any suggestions welcomed.
Have tried:
disabling all plug-ins
Launching Camera Raw from Photoshop and Bridge
Closing all other programs
Adjusting Camera Raw Cache(currently 10gb)

I just want to stress here that this CANNOT be a simple performance issue. There's definitely something up when two similar 8 core machines with similar video cards yield performance that differs from 3 seconds to an imperceptible fraction of a second, EVEN IF they're running different OSs.
To summarize:
tahoelight: Dual quad core Xeon (Nehalem) 2.66 GHz , 32 GB, Radeon HD 4870: 1-3 second control response
Noel Carboni: Dual quad core Xeon (Harpertown) 3.16 GHz, 16 GB, Radeon HD 5670: (estimated) 0.1 second control response
Relative performance (higher is better, courtesy Passmark Benchmark):
Dual Xeon X5550 2.66 GHz: 10,727
Dual Xeon X5460 3.16 GHz: 9,583
Radeon 4870: 1,737
Radeon 5670: 1,234
Clearly the more powerful machine should not be 1/10 to 1/30 as fast to interact with the user!
Adobe has said the GPU doesn't play into Camera Raw performance, so what's up here?
Adobe seems to be a bit silent across the various forums lately. I hope they haven't been instructed to avoid participating... That would be a shame, as it's one thing Adobe has been doing right.
FYI, station_two will be happy to know I've disabled Windows' equivalent of spotblight (indexing). Some concepts are universally good.

Camera Raw 8 very slow(unuseable) in Photoshop CS6

Camera Raw 7 had it's major problems with Photoshop CS6 but had a few improvements to speed with the last update on my system. The update to Raw 8 has slowed everything down again to a painful 3-4 second wait before controls, crop tool etc. responds. Anyone else getting this? it seems deja-vu with Adobe. Completely unusuable for any day to day work. Back to CS5 again....?

First a reminder, these are user to user forums, not a channel to address Adobe directly.
I don't see any slowdown in ACR 8.1 hosted by Photoshop 13.0.5 under Lion 10.7.5 on my MacPro 1,1 Quad.
Try setting the Noise Reduction to zero and tell us if you see any difference.

recently bought a samsung NX30 camera which came with lightroom 5, after several hours of googling i got it setup properly with the correct camera raw to be able to access my raw images. I found my old laptop was very slow when processing the hundreds of images I usually take on a weekly basis. I bought a new faster laptop but when I looked for the cd with the software and serial I could not find it in the Xmas clutter. I downloaded a trial version of lightroom and got it working on my new laptop. Is there a way to access the serial number from my previously installed version and insert it into the trail version to make it work for me?
Myron

Mea culpa
While i registered all my cs2 thru 6 versions and my lightroom 2 thru 4 versions and recorded the serials and saved the adobe registration emails. Since this came as a freebee with the camera i neglected this vital step. I have the instslled version on my old laptop but want to install it on my new one. Thanks to Jim Hess I got the serial so all is well in my world and I will register it with ADOBE

Camera raw slow tiff save

Camera Raw takes almost 2 seconds to save 103MB tiff file. (I use Photoshop CS6)
When i save a bunch of tiff files, camera raw uses only half of my CPU and half of my RAM. In addition, I use SSD that writes 530MB/s outside Photoshop. According to these specifications it should save 5 images within one second. But it doesnt. I believe there must be something wrong with the settings? Please help..

What you're seeing is probably normal - Camera Raw does take a few seconds to process a raw file, even on a powerful system. It can grow to be longer if you select a lot of features in Camera Raw, such as noise reduction, sharpening, etc.
And, it's getting slower in general as Camera Raw becomes more feature-rich.
That reminds me, With version 8.1 I need to do some more benchmarks and add them to this thread:
