I love LR...but

Ok, upfront sorry for this, it is just a bit of complaining. I know it is a dead horse, so to speak....But I just wanted to say that I am experiencing the speed issues that others have spoken so often about. My system is no slouch and it is dedicated to image editing, and is freshly built with a fresh install of XP.
But, I hate to say, the slider lag in the develop module is starting to get to me. The slow import process after a days shoot ( I am creating previews...but ) Slow scrolling through Library, waiting forever for the "Loading..." status to go away so that I can work, Slower -than should be- export...And other little things here and there.
These speed issues are not enough to scare me away from using LR...I LOVE LR. I used photo shop v5 on a pentium 133 with about 16 meg of ram and a couple hundred meg hard drive (it was a laptop to boot running win 98!) So I know how painful things could be.
I just can't wait 'till the speed is improved a little bit. I have actually been contemplating selling my brand new processor for a faster one and setting up a Raptor RAID 0 array just to speed up LR....But I won't. I am trying to be patient.
I write this here because my girlfriend does not want to hear me speak about LR-- Again :)

LR 3 uses an entirely different 'Process' (2010). You need to rebuild all of your previews, and use 'High Resolution' 1:1 previews at 'Preview Size' equal to or greater than your display resolution. For 1440 x 900 display select 1440. Make sure your 'Import' 'File Handling' is set to 'Render Previews' 1:1, in upper right-hand corner of the import screen. Some other suggestions here:

This thread deals discusses the same LR 3 slow issues, and the fix for most users is rebuilding previews:

It may take hours to rebuild all of your previews, but this should return performance close to what you were experiencing with LR 2. Do this when you aren't working in LR and with no other applications open.

  • LOve Firefox but it's annoying that if I'm using a search engine (I use lots of subscription legal search databases), when I press the back button all the data I entered in the search boxes has disappeared. I'm sure Firefox didn't use to do that?

    Thunderbird is a great asset to my boss and I. We use Thunderbird all the time and love it, but for about a week it constantly goes into "not responding mode". My boss uses the same service at home with no problem at all.
    I did an "safe mode" and restart and for a few minutes I thought it was "healed". However, I did a search and the same thing started happening again. The little blue ring starts spinning and "not responding" pops up above the toolbar. Sometime the screen fades to a sort of greyish and no mouse click are responded to, even to close Thunderbird.
    Please help however you can. Our office number is 512.246.3995.
    Thank you,
    Mary

    We wonder if it is a firewall problem that developed here at the office. My boss uses her account at home and all is well, but here, experiences the same issues I described

  • I cannot "click" on the top inch of any screen when in firefox. This prevents me from signing in and out of certain webpages. This doesn't happen when I am either on my desktop or using IE. I love firefox, but this is frustrating. HELP!

    I cannot "click" on the top inch of any screen when in firefox. This prevents me from signing in and out of certain webpages. If I minimize the screen this does not go away either. This doesn't happen when I am either on my desktop or using IE. I love firefox, but this is frustrating! Help!

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

    @kaaremi, do you own an E7 so you are speaking from experience, or are you repeating reports/reviews you have read ? The Camera's capabilities you mention, are limited by EDOF not being good with macro photography, but the rest of your issues can either be resolved with 3rd party applications, or don't exist. My E7 displays any company information attached to the contact when I recieve a call and it works fine with time zones, plus of course, if the phone doesn't fulfill your requirements there is always the choice to choose an alternative ?
    If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

  • Hi, I am worried about the old Iphones, couldn't we change them for another version? I have my Iphone 3, love it, but now I am feeling out of the picture. The phone works perfect...Is there any plan to do so? like recycling?

    You can purchase any model (currently sold) iPhone that you desire.
    What's the big deal or so complicated about figuring that out?

  • Just got a iMac love it but have had problem with iTunes gets stuck at m with syncing its stuck at "waiting to copy" any ideas

    Just got imac love it but have an issue with itunes gets stuck "waiting to copy" do I really need to return phone to orginal setting?

    Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
    If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

  • I downloaded the free trial of Lightroom 5 and love it but I can't export the images to a folder.  Is this because it is a free trial?

    I downloaded the free trial of Lightroom 5 and love it but I can't export the images to a folder.  Is this because it is a free trial?

    Yes, but I don't know enough about iPhoto to understand the consequences of "imported them into iPhoto first". In any event, I do understand the needs of Lightroom, and if the photos have been moved or renamed or deleted (or if the folders that contain them have been moved or renamed or deleted) outside of Lightroom, then this will cause the Lightroom symptoms you describe. You need to reconnect the photos in Lightroom using the instructions I linked to. Either that or move the photos and folders back to where they used to be after you imported them into Lightroom. Nothing else will work.
    In the future, please understand that your photos are never stored in Lightroom; they are stored on your hard disk somewhere and the very simple principle that you need to follow is that Lightroom needs to be informed of where the photos are at all times, using the methods in that link; or better yet by never moving or renaming or deleting the photos (and the folders that contain them) outside of Lightroom.
    As an additional recommendation, the idea of using both iPhoto and Lightroom on the same photos is one that could cause problems, especially for beginners. If you are going to use one of these software, then don't use the other one.

  • Love Preview, but need Reader to open PDFs

    Love Preview---BUT---
    How can I set Adobe Reader to be my DEFAULT PDF reader for ALL PDFs?
    Right now Apple's PREVIEW opens every PDF automatically.
    How can I change that from happening everytime?
    regards...

    Are you viewing in Preview or Reader? On my system, the Preview window dictates the size of the text/images sizes. If the window is moused larger, the text and images increase in size. If I select "Zoom In" the document increases in size. Adobe Reader behaves the same way. You might check your Preview/Reader preferences for potential causes.

  • I followed all the directions to get Norton 360 to work with Firefox 8, but nothing works. I love Firefox, but if my Norton 360 won't work with it I'll be stuck with IE, which I do not like. Please Help Me!

    I followed all the directions to get Firefox 8 to work with my Norton 360, but nothing has worked. Is there anything else I can do? I didn't know there was an issue when I first upgraded to Firefox 8 so didn't choose the Norton plug ins immediately so I uninstalled Firefox hoping to be able to do it correctly when I Downloaded it again. Unfortunately it didn't ask me any thing regarding Norton so I went to Plug ins as directed to Enable Norton 360's plug ins, but none were listed.
    What can I do now? I LOVE Firefox! If we can't make it work I'll be stuck with Internet Explorer which I do not care for at all!
    I need to have Norton Security to protect my computer. Please help me find a solution to this problem ASAP.
    Thank you,

    Hi Susie, I use Norton 360 and have the latest Firefox 8 installed is working fine for me. Firefox 8 support for [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-360/Firefox-8-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/581640 Norton Toolbar] was released on Nov 8th. Install the appropriate add-ons based on the version of Norton 360 you're using (see official Norton link above). Hope this helps.

  • I have learned to love PAGES, but I can't figure out how "sections" get linked together and how to unlink them so I can move pages or delete pages with a whole bunch of pages (a section) going away.

    I have learned to love the PAGES program but I will add a new "section" or page to it and then when I look at thumbnails and try to move pages around or delete pages, it treats them as a section of many pages and will only delete several of them together or will add extra blank pages that I don't need. It is very frustrating but must be something I am doing to cause this.

    It is the '09 version. I went on the boards and found out that by inserting a page break after each page as I go, I can make each page act individually instead of as a group. Then I can move pages around or delete them through thumbnails. The online manual didn't really help with how to avoid having them act as a group.
    A Page Break pushes the next text to the next page, it is still part of the same section.
    You need to insert a Section Break.

  • Recent Convert from PC World - Bought Macbook Pro and Love It, but have ???

    Hey Guys - I apologize for the noobish questions, but I just recently purchased a Macbook Pro (just this month), and have been acclimating myself to it. So far, I am very impressed, as I have been a PC user all my life.
    Having said that, I was hoping you guys can point me in the right direction. I know that there are certain limitations to upgrading a laptop (regardless of PC or Apple), but one of the things that I would love to confirm are the upgrade options for my Macbook Pro for the following:
    1 - CPU (currently, I have the 2.53Ghz Core 2 Duo - any upgrade options here)
    2 - Hard drive (currently, I have the 320 GB/5400rpm hdd) - I would love to have more space.
    I visited the apple store on line, and just want to do my research before purchasing items. I am still a little fuzzy on whether or not anything I see on the applestore would apply.
    Anywho, any guidance, assistance, direction, points of reference, websites, as well as any other upgrades I may have missed would be most appreciated. Thanks!

    The CPU is not a supported upgrade. However, there is a tiny chance that third parties will provide an upgrade, as they have for older Apple laptops. It is not something most people do. Performance bottlenecks in a laptop are more often the speed or capacity of the hard drive and RAM, or the graphics card (you can't upgrade the graphics card at all).
    The hard drive is extremely easy to replace on the new MacBook Pro. Even on the older Apple laptops, I've ended up upgrading the drive in every one I've owned in the last 15 years. As bigger, cheaper disks become available you should have no problem swapping them in.

    I'd start over with a new profile. Close Thunderbird, and move or rename your old profile, then start it again and see if it runs.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb
    Or you can use the profile manager to create a second profile to work with.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles
    When you run Thunderbird, it will ask you to set up an account, but ignore that; we're first of all trying to see if it can run.
    What's your system? Windows? What version?
