Extremely slow processing of edited photos?

After a year's time of slow "Aperture2" processing on my "old" Macbook Pro, I recently took the step of investing in a new powerful Macbook Pro - the recent one launched a month's time ago....i.e. a MacBookPro 6,2 with Intel Core i7, 2,66 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M Graphics Card. However, my experience with the processing of my photos is indeed very frustrating (SLOW).
Any comments from users with similar specs would be most appreciated. I have heard of rumors to the extend that Aperture3 may not have been fully adjusted to the new i7-processors, however, could it rather be the interaction with the graphics board?

I upgraded from a Gen 2 Macbook Pro 15" (2.33ghz) to the brand new 17" i7 with 8GB of RAM, and this new machine is a beast. It is quite a bit faster than my Mac Pro 2.66 quad with ATI 1900 and 8GB of RAM.
By "slow processing", do you mean exporting versions? Importing? Adjustments? Aperture 3 is considerably faster than Aperture 2 at many operations, but slower in a few. If you're using certain brushes and adjustments, for example, the program can experience some serious slowdowns.
You may want to check on some things like Faces and Places. Turning off face recognition can sometimes make the program more responsive. And as with 2.x, turning off Preview generation can also help quite a bit, especially importing.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro to edit videos export process extremely slow!

    Hello,
    I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit videos, and until recently, it’s been working smoothly. The last few times I’ve tried to export, the process has been extremely slow—for example, yesterday the program told me it was going to take 22 hours to export a 527MB video.
    My computer has an i7 processor and a decent video card (Radeon HD 7470) so I don’t think that’s the issue, but I can’t see it being the software since I had been successfully exporting videos until recently.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated—thanks!

  • Editing Quiz Extremely Slow in cp2

    I am using an Intel core duo pc and trying to build a quiz to
    follow a few slides containing flash animations and narration. I am
    able to create the slide, however moving things around on the stage
    is exceptionally slow, whereas the other slides are still editable
    at a reasonable speed. Any suggestions on how to speed this up?
    Thanks
    tt

    Thank you for your suggestion. I will keep that information for future reference.
    Later, as I worked with other photos in other albums, I found that iPhoto was working great in the other albums.
    Then I remembered that the photos that set off the slow editing, I had done some minor editing in PhotoShop and then put them back into iPhoto. As I tried to crop these Photoshopped photos in iPhoto the extremely slow editing began. Technically, I don't know what happened, but they were incompatible.

  • Processing speed of my MacBook is extremely slow when opening applications, whether Mail, Safari or MSOffice

    Problem description:
    The processing speed of any function is extremely slow - such as opening Mail, Safari, clicking on a page within Safari, switching to MS Word, adding a window in Safari, loading a page from Safari.  I get the spinning wheel most of the time before the action is completed. All other Macs which are newer in my home WiFi network operate just fine. I have done a top level (novice) check for malware, and haven’t found anything.  Any help you can suggest would be truly appreciated! Thank you!

    Before you do anything do you have a current backup? If not make one.
    I don't see any of the usual software suspects associated with slow downs. You don't need the Seagate software, you should uninstall that.

    You only have 2GB of ram and could upgrade to 8GB, but Snow Leopard should run ok in 2GB.....not great but ok.
    Start up in Safe Mode OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support be paitient as it will take awhile to start as it checks and tries to repair any problems with the file system. Once it's completely started up you can restart normally.
    Insert your Snow Leopard disc and restart while holding the C key. Run Disk Utility to repair the hard drive and permissions. While in Disk Utility check the SMART status of the hard drive, anything other than Verified indicates a problem with the hard drive.
    Again, you only have 2GB of ram.....try restarting your Macbook every day.....it's been running for almost a week now.

  • Editing is extremely slow

    After updating to Premiere Pro CC 2014, for many video files editing is extremely slow.  At one time I could fly through a large file.  Now, to delete clips from a video file, I move the clip cursor and wait maybe 30 seconds or more for video display to catch up with the cursor.
    Looking at the task manager, when editing a 12 GB video file, I see that Premiere is only using 1.3 GB of memory, even though preferences has it set to use up to 11 GB (I have 16 GB on my PC).  So is it a memory management issue?

    Can you be more precise? Are you sure you didn't update to Premiere Pro CC 2014.1? Please check.
    If so, is this a new project or one you updated from Premiere Pro CC 2014?
    If you updated the project file, try a new file.
    Also, make sure your GPU drivers are up to date.
    As John says, more info would also help.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • I downloaded 200  photos, an event folder was created, I could see all the photos and was in the process of editing them when I got a message that iPhoto unexpectedly quit.  I cannot find the photos anywhere on my computer now.  Is there anything to do?

    I downloaded 200  photos, an event folder was created, I could see all the photos and was in the process of editing them when I got a message that iPhoto unexpectedly quit.  I cannot find the photos anywhere on my computer now.  Is there anything to do?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I was editing photos and it was getting stuck or frozen and working really slow, so I attempting to close aperture and reopen it but it won't quit aperture and now it won't open up to my photos either.  Any ideas?

    I was editing photos and it was getting stuck or frozen and working very slowly.  I attempted to restart the computer but it would not allow me to quit aperture.  Now aperture appears in my toolbar but will not open up so I can work on any photos.  Any ideas?

    Did you try opening from the Applications folder?

  • Photos app really messed up my process of editing/storing!!

    First of all, I cannot drag and drop a photo into Photoshop to edit?  This HAS to be a bug.  I could easily drag a photo over and open in Photoshop using iPhoto. 
    Second, having no event folders is a PAIN.  There is NO way to drop a photo into Instagram if it isn't in your camera roll.  That's a major problem.
    Third, I want to see a status bar when I'm moving pictures.  I don't like the little status circle like in iMovie.  There is no way to see a percentage of progress easily so I can visually see it's moving.  Was this also another oversight? 
    I'm actively looking for another program.  This way of organization is not Apple-esqe at all.  Not user-friendly and it's hard if you're a power user that likes to edit. 
    I'm really bummed out about this update.  I want iPhoto back!!!!!!!!!!!

    You can have iPhoto back. Just launch it. Done.
    I cannot drag and drop a photo into Photoshop to edit?  This HAS to be a bug.  I could easily drag a photo over and open in Photoshop using iPhoto.
    It's not a bug - and that wasn't how to do it in iPhoto either. All that got you was a preview. In iPhoto, you should set Photoshop as an External Editor (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    That facility does not exist in Photos. Photos requires that developers write an extension to their app to allow to to hook into Photos. None have done that, at time of writing. But they wills soon turn up.
    Second, having no event folders is a PAIN.  There is NO way to drop a photo into Instagram if it isn't in your camera roll.  That's a major problem.
    Events are not a part of Photos. You may need to rethink your organisation - or use Albums. In Photos all your iPhoto Events are converted into Albums. I don't know what you mean by the reference to instagram, or how it refers to Events.
    Third, I want to see a status bar when I'm moving pictures.  I don't like the little status circle like in iMovie.  There is no way to see a percentage of progress easily so I can visually see it's moving.  Was this also another oversig

    I'm actively looking for another program.  This way of organization is not Apple-esqe at all.  Not user-friendly and it's hard if you're a power user that likes to edit.
    Well given that it was devised by Apple to work across the Apple ecosystem, I think it's pretty Apple-esque But it is different and there is a learning curve. I find it hard to believe that the mythical "power user" would use an app like Photos or indeed, iPhoto.

  • How come my ps CS6 runs extremely slow?

    After testing photoshop cs6, seeing how fast it worked on 3D on my pc I bought the web design and premium version. Time in between was several weeks. To my huge disappointement, the bought version runs extremely slow, mostly on 3D when I want to paint on target texture. Secondly I experiance a bug when I open my file and want to paint on targeted texture....brush shows inaccesible when wanting to paint. I do not mean greyed out, but the moment I hover over my 3d object it shows I cant paint (yes I have my layer selected;-). I have to fix this each time by changing targeted texture to some other and again switching back to the one I actually want to edit. As last thing, my OpenCL is greyed out.....maybe that causes the speed problems.....did not check with trial if it worked so not sure this is the issue=/....
    When it comes to the speed I tried several things and now even reinstalled my whole pc hoping that would solve the problem.....it did not. Both CS6 photoshop 32-and 64-bit run slow on 3D.
    I closed my trendmicro virusscanner to see if that would help....it speeded up only the start-up process but not the 3D. 3D works so slow that I have to wait 10 minutes after each move..just crazy....evenmore as it worked awesome with the trial version.
    Also changed amount of memory assigned to ps by increasing to 80% and even 100%...nothing.
    changed in graphic processors settings advanced into basic...nothing again.
    No idea what to do next besides buying a new computer....I know I do not have a super strong one but as it worked perfectly I just don't get it. My pc runs this system:
    Intel(R) Core (TM) 2CPU
    [email protected] 2.66 Ghz
    Ram 4GB
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
    GeForce8800GTX
    I have the feeling it is some conflict between an update of windows or graphic driver (I have the newest so my info tells me) and photoshop...any ideas what to do as this is extremely frustrating?

    Installed newer graphic driver as its seemed Microsoft update had an older one installed on my pc. This one is straight from Nvidia site with 3D support. Nevertheless ps runs slow and especially 3D. 32 Bit runs tiny bit faster than 64-bit. Now my photoshop even crashes with 3D: 32 bit holds out longer then 64...last one freezes almost immediately and I can close it through task manager. After installing newer driver at least the 64 bit shows OPenCL , where 32-bit not....maybe thats normal...
    I hope anyone can help me as I even checked the system requirements on adobe and mine should be more than fine.

    Well, it must be a system-specific bug of some sort that's been introduced, because I was able to create a 4200 x 3500 image made by mapping an image of similar size to a cylinder, and the cylinder would move/rotate in real time.  Of course, I have a completely different video card and system than you do, but I'm just verifying that it's not broken everywhere.
    Rendering isn't hugely fast, but that's not unexpected with a larger image.
    Maybe being more specific would help.  Is your mesh complex?
    Is it something you'd be willing to share online or describe how to create?  I would be happy to try to match what you're doing more thoroughly to see whether I can reproduce the slowdowns.
    Beyond that, I'm not sure what to suggest...  You don't have a lot of RAM to be working on 15 megapixel images, but as you say the thing to concentrate on is that you're seeing quite different performance from the Ps CS6 beta version.

  • Adobe premiere cs6 suddenly EXTREMELY slow and CPU intensive

    Hi everyone,
    I'm editing candon 5d mk III footage (h.264 files) on my late 2011 MacBook pro. Here are the specs..
    240 gig SanDisk SSD harddrive (190 gigs free)
    500 Gig (250 gigs free)
    8 gigs ram
    2.4 ghz i5 processor
    Intel HD graphics 3000 graphics card
    I'm a wedding videographer and I am currently closing my last edits of the season. I have edited 20+ 45 minute videos on Adobe Premiere CS6 and have had absolutely no issues at all. I enjoy working on premiere so much that I've been trying to get my videographer friends to give a shot and simplify their workflows.
    Upon starting my second to last edit (same process as the other 18 videos I've done this season, organizing the footage within it's respective folder, loading it into premiere with the couples' choice in music and opening 4-5 new sequences based on the events of the day) I noticed that I was having a lot of trouble importing folders into my media bin. I had to import all of the footage unorganized because loading the folders "Preperation, Ceremony, Photos, Reception" with the footage within them would cause premiere to freeze and become unrepsonsive. So, finding no solution I added all the footage in no particular fashion. Just one large unorganized group. Then, while organizing the files into bins, I noticed even the smallest move would take several minutes to complete. Because I was working directly off of my hard drive I figured these kinds of delays would eventually catch up to me, so I moved all of my files to my HDD and decided to work on them there. The project itself continued to be extremely slow and started crashing regularly (especially when applying audio effects). After a few hours, I stopped being able to play 1080p video at all. It would jam and stutter so often it become unuseable. 720p video was the next to go along with my ability to render anything in less than 30 minutes - 1 hour. At last attempt to use premiere I was getting an "Unable to compile movie - Unknown Error" message when trying to render alpha channel things (lower third titles and things of the nature), my ability to change the resolution of the playback had disappeared (Going from full, 1/2 and 1/4 did nothing, it just remained at full quality) and finally doing anything in premiere caused it to use 300% of my CPU (based off of my Activity Monitors metering).
    Does anybody have any clue as to what could be happening to my machine/program? I have a yearly subscription to adobe's creative cloud service if that helps. Oh and I've tried moving my media cache's from my HDD to my SDD with little or no results. Don't know if that helps.
    Thank you to anyone who helps in advance. What I believe to be clean installs aren't doing anything so I'm hoping somebody can give me a hand.

    Sounds to me like specific media is dragging the Mac to a halt. (300%, really Apple? Isn't that like saying that my car can go up to 90mph, but last night I drove it at 300% speed, 270mph)
    Some things to trouble shoot:
    Do you have any assets in the project that are loaded directly from strange devices, like a SD card or CD audio? Any dynamic link media that may be problematic?
    Is there anything that makes this footage different than footage from successful projects?
    Can you work successfully with an old project?
    Can you successfully start a new project using different or less media?
    Is the 500 GB drive internal or external?
    One time I was sent out at from work to troubleshoot a system that would freeze up like yours. The guy was an idiot and rude client that demanded that someone from our facility help him fix his own project. He said that he had been troubleshooting for a day, and then had convinced his organization's IT guy that he needed a way over spec new pc to run Premiere.
    His system was fine. Within 3 minutes of checking media in his project, I saw that top track of the problem sequence had a video clip that was set to a speed of .01%, and he had the clip stretched for 24hours in the sequence. His project was supposed to be a 2 minute PSA. All his issues went away after removing the idiotic Day Long slow motion clip. He complained to my boss because I had laughed at him.
    I relate that story to illustrate that it could be a weird thing with you media or fx, just as well as a hardware or software issue.
    Good Luck

  • How can I make the edited photo appear in my folder?

    Hi! This is my first post here, and I've just acquired Lightroom after having worked with ACDSee Pro (currently v6) for some years. I love taking photos and editing them later if necessary.
    I understand that LR works differently to ACDSee, with the catalogue and all, and I've successfully imported my picture folders into my new LR catalogue. What I haven't yet been able to grasp is what LR does with my edited photos. When I edit (develop) a picture in ACDSee, the edited version of that photo appears in my original folder as soon as I have finished editing it.
    With LR, after having done my processing all I can see in my folder is the original, unedited picture. The edits are only visible in LR, but not anywhere else. I'd like to see the edited photo in my folder so that I can use it, for example, for screen saver slide shows. I don't want to go and look for this edited picture in any place other than its original folder, and neither do I want to have two copies of it, namely the original and the edited version, in that folder. All I care for at this point is the edited version since the original can be restored at any time from within LR, or at least I think this how it should be since that's how I did it with ACDSee if I wanted to go back to the original picture.
    Is there any way I can achieve what I'm looking for with LR?
    Thank you very much for your assistance for a total LR beginner.
    Hugo

    and neither do I want to have two copies of it, namely the original and the edited version, in that folder
    I don't think this is possible, given the normal way Lightroom works. You have the original (the image contained in this file is never modified by Lightroom) and you will have the export.
    Note: you could instruct Lightroom to overwrite your original (if it was a JPG or TIF or PSD, but not a RAW), however this is extremely discouraged and your original would be gone. Your assumption "since the original can be restored at any time from within LR" is incorrect, that is not how Lightroom works if you overwrite the original JPG TIF or PSD (which of course is just one of several reasons why this approach is extremely discouraged).

  • Macbook Pro running extremely slow since updating to Yosemite

    Hello All,
    I am new to the community and I'm hoping your pooled expertise can assist me with my issues. I went ahead and posted the results of my diagnostic scan below. My main concerns are that my Macbook Pro is now extremely slow after OSX updates. Also, laptop is running extremely hot to touch. I have mentioned other ongoing issues. I offer thanks in advance for any assistance.
    Problem description:
    Macbook Pro 13":
    Purchased in mid-2010.
    Most Recent Issue (Main Concern):
    (1) I recently updated OS X from Mountain Lion to Maverick. Computer began running extremely slow and “jerky.”
    (1.1) Shortly after this I updated to OS X Yosemite. Computer runs, and types, even slower than before.
    Ongoing Issues (Greater than one year):
    (1) Extremely short battery life (may last two hours on full charge)
    (2) Macbook runs extremely hot to touch (fan runs continuously but can’t begin to keep it cool)
    (3) SD Card reader doesn't recognize/open an SD card when inserted.
    Lex Cschellings Requested the Following:
    No obvious elements in the list.
    This may well be a dying disk and/or a very bad battery.
    Do following:
    make a new etrecheck list and in the problem description put what Applications->Utilities->SystemInformation says about the battery (under the Power heading in the left panel): give cycle count and battery condition.
    Then post the link in a new thread.
    In the meantime the crash report is probably a French Dictionary issue (font? garcon garçon) you have installed, uninstall that and see if it happens again.

  • Macbook Air suffering loud fan, extremely slow

    Hi,
    I'm using a MBA Mid 2013 (warranty ended by June 31), and below is my story (verry sorry if it's long and waste your time).
    By the third week of June, my MBA got a problem with the sound. Since it's still in warranty duration, so i took it to an Apple authorized service center in my place. They kept it for a week, and after that, my MBA's sound problem gone. But:
    Actually, I made some quick tests in that center, and everything seems normal. So that, i closed my MBA and left the center.
    When i got home, i opened my MBA to retouch some photos, but the MBA is extremely slow (opening a photo in Preview took around 1 min), and the fan went crazily loud.
    I opened the Activity Monitor. Surprisingly, there's a process named kernel_task was taking ~300% of the CPU, thousands of the CPU time.
    I did some research in the community, and found a solution: "Reset SMC". I tried that solution and magically, the problem has gone. So that, i thought it was just a software problem, instead of a hardware one.
    The warranty expired...
    The first half of July:
    Everything seems OK and my MBA is stable.
    The previous week:
    The kernel_task error seems back. At first, i repeated the SMC reset solution and it still worked. But few times later, that solution turned useless.
    Although my Mac was still usable, but during the kernel_task error, it's very slow that i could not do anything. Sometime, the kernel_task automatically turned normal (and my Mac is fast again).
    At that time, i tried a list of other solutions and found something:
    - Reset PRAM: The key combination was very hard to be succeed. Mostly, my MAC normally boot to the OS.
    - Safe mode: Same.
    - Recovery: Same.
    - Apple Hardware Test: Same. But, in a success one, the result said that there is a problem with my thunderbolt (When i check in the System Information, the thunderbolt part said that No Hardware Found...??).
    So, I guess that there's few problem with the OS.
    So that, in the previous weekend, i tried to re-install the OS (Maverick). My Mac seems normal again.
    But today, after a sleep - wake cycle (close, and open the Mac screen), the kernel_task disaster was back.
    In this evening, i tried to re-install the OS once again, with a different installation. But... the problem seems more serious.
    When i booted by a usb to install OS, the fan still loud and my mac still slow, which lead to the OS install could not be completed (stuck at 13%). And now, i almost cannot even choose the Startup Disk. Although i pushed and pressed the option key, my Mac will automatically boot to the Utilities for restoring the OS (because i formated that Mac partition).
    Now, i'm very disappointed and confused. My mac is slow and the fan is loud anytime, i cannot install the OS. A software (perhaps?) error now turns to a hardware (perhaps?) error?
    Could someone please tell me what is that error, and is there anyway to fix it?
    Thank you in advance!

    Well, when you use a secondary display you are making the graphics processor work harder. That would explain the fan noises. Also, be aware of where you place the comptuer. Try not to block the back so it can vent and not place it near other warm devices.

  • ADE 2 is extremely slow in presenting ACSM file

    I have purchased a document which is in ACSM format.  I know nothing of this format.  ADE 2 appears to download the data and displays the pages, but is extremely slow in scrolling the pages.  So slow as to be useless.  Any change takes ages to accomplsh. I am using an Apple MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.3.
    I have no trouble at all reading the ADE 2 'Getting Started' file which runs as I would have expected the app to perform.  I am considering deleting ADE 2 and downloading it again, but am concerned how that would effect the validisation process.
    Robin.

    If you reinstall it should not change validation/authorization.
    ADE has a way of getting authorization mixed up; if it does go wrong
    ctrl-shift-D to ADE to remove old authorization (cmd-shift-D for you on a Mac)
    restart ADE
    reauthorize
    ~~~~~~~~~
    You may find the old version v1.7.2 better, much more reliable in many ways than ADE2.0 which is a load of bug riddled rubbish.
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
