Images Previews in LR5 Import window extremely slow to render compared to LR4.  Size is Minimal

The images are there but the previews take forever to show up.  Any ideas?

It's a bug, it's been reported. Workaround for me is to select the card reader where it's listed further down the Source panel under "Files" rather than the default under "Devices".

  • Image preview in Open dialog window (Photoshop CS6)

    Hi
    We had a possibility to see images preview in Open File dialog window of Photoshop CS5 but in new CS6 version there is not such possibility. Should I forget about that nice option and use Mini Bridge?

    I'm not so sure it was on purpose or not Noel. Especially since it's still there in Illustrator and Indesign. If it weren't for it being in those, I might think it was intentional. Then again, it could very well be Adobe trying really hard to push MiniBridge, which is almost utterly useless. I think they actually made the minibridge WORSE as well. The sizing issues of the thumbnails on that are a pain and minibridge is just plain cumbersome to run. Anyways, besides my many qualms with minibridge itself, and back on the open dialog box thing...I actually watched a youtube video pointing out the same codecs you're talking about and without the PSD functionality, it's pretty useless. I'm a graphic designer, so I don't really use PS for camera image editing and don't mess with those files that the codec helps with. Even if it did, that still isn't very helpful to me. Because at that point, you're pretty much just doing what Bridge/MIniBridge does. However, consider how I, and many other designers in the print field work: At any given point we might have something like 3 different versions of a file; a PSD (with layers to edit), a JPEG (to send to the customer for proofing), and a PDF (for printing). Now, within that customer folder I might have 50+ files of different jobs. Imagine trying to sift through all those thumbnails, scrolling across window upon window, and when you get to the file you're finally looking for, you click it open to just to see that you opened the jpeg instead of the PSD. Now, in LIST view, I can see many more files on one screen and each file type is represented by an icon. So I know the blue icons are Photoshop icons and it's very easy to skim through there and know exactly which file type I'm looking for without peering at extensions. Get what I'm saying? Not that I don't appreciate you trying to help. Just saying, unless any codec can bring back the preview screen....than I don't see a workaround until Adobe flat out FIXES IT. I'm one of those guys that loves to get the newest thing and give it time to work, but if they don't fix it, I might have to call up Adobe and demand a downgrade on my Photoshop to 5.5, cause it really slows my workflow when I have hundreds of files to keep up with, and any new feature in PS CS6 that might have sped up my work is offset by not being able to do such a remedial task as preview my files before opening them.

  • No Video Images Appear In iMovie Import Window

    My Vixia hv 30 mini DV is connected and recognized, and when I choose to import video manually, and hit the iMovie Import button, the video plays on the camera screen but not in the iMovie import window on my iMac. Nor does the counter move, although a large message in the iMovie window says "importing". The camera's counter in the upper right hand corner of the window counts off, but not the counter next to the controls at the bottom of the window. A file name is created in the Event Library, but there is nothing in the file when I click it.
    I have tried importing segments of all sizes and lengths to see if there was an issue there but no video appears on the iMovie screen, and there is no message that thumbnails are being created.
    I have watched tutorials online to see if I am missing something but I have found no answers. I was able to import a one-minute segment automatically a few days ago when I first got the camera, but now Automatic does not work. It begins to import, with no images appearing in the iMovie import window and no movement in the counter, then after a few seconds the "Importing" message changes to "Stopped"
    In my 'Save To" window, it says I have "5.7GB free/25 min.)" on my Mac's HD.

    I found that this was due to my tape having been recorded on an older DV camcorder rather than an HDV. You'd think either iMovie or the Canon Vixia would simply tell you that in plain language, rather than give you the kind of cryptic meaningless message that the camera displays.
    If you have this problem, go into the camera menu and make sure the format —DV or HDV— matches the content on your tape.

  • Image previews black after import from scanner

    I scanned some photos to a folder on my desktop and them imported the scans into iphoto. The previews show only solid black, no image but when I click on the black photo the correct image appears. How can I get the previews to show?

    This can happen if you import photos with an unsupported colour profile. iPhoto supports RGB - which is what cameras shoot in. So if you’ve scanned into greyscale, for instance, this problem can arise.
    You can convert the images to RGB using the Tools menu in Preview.

  • Importing is EXTREMELY slow

    I've noticed that importing from a CD to my iTunes is taking longer and longer. Right now, it's going at .2x speed, meaning it's taking 20 minutes just to import a 4 minute, 25 second song.
    It's set to import using AAC encoder, with high quality (128 kbps).
    What else can I do to get this to import at a more reasonable speed?

    could you post your DVD/CD diagnostics for us? fingers crossed, that might cast some light on the issue.
    in itunes, go "help > run diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics, and paste the complete results into a reply.

  • Multiple QT clips extremely slow to render

    Hi,
    I do mostly volunteer stuff for people and clubs that cannot afford a real pro. It's a serious hobby hence me using FCP ( it was a gift) Anyway, I was asked to put together a collage of clips that I had taken in the last few years. They are saved in QT format ( save> save as self contained QT movie) on my LaCie Extreme.
    I brought them into FCP and composited them in about 4 layers. Used some audio from the QT clips and added some of my own.
    Anytime I do any changes at all, even a simple audio db change I get the red render bar and it takes forever to render. For example: I changed the volune and opacity on a 10 second clip and it took 3 minutes to render.
    In the past I have taken the footage out of the camera directly into FCP and then used the video cam> start / stop detection then named the clips as per Tom Wolsky (my mentor) instructions then edited from there. The render times , if any, were fast.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance! (I know this is a pro discussion site and I shouldn't be here but I want to do a good job on this one)
    Rob

    Thanks for the quick response and I think you're right!
    After your email I just did a "get info" on the four movies and the size and codecs are different. I thought FCP would convert them..and I guess it does albeit alot of rendering. I don't have QT Pro but I will get it! I am not sure how to convert the QT movies into a single format but I'll figure it out.
    I was just wondering about degradation when doing that. Just a thought..I could drag them into iMovie for now and that would convert them to MP4... I think... and use that. The four QT clips I am using are just back grounds to the the main movie.
    I have a young girl who is about two and a half playing on the beach and the four QT movies fade in and out of her previous life. It looks good but it has taken me forever to do because of the rendering and the parents wants to show it soon to a volunteer group. Thanks again.

  • Extremely Slow Download Speeds Compared To Pc

    My PC when downloads the same file at 100+ kb/s when my MacBook downloads at maximum of 25-30 kb/s.
    How can I speed it up.

    I'm getting a slow download speed, what can I do to improve it?
    If you are using a firewall or router, be sure that ports 6112, 3724, and 6881 through 6999 are open and forwarded to your computer and only your computer. Refer to your firewall/router's documentation for instructions on opening ports and setting up port forwarding. Also, make sure that no other programs that use bandwidth are running while using the Blizzard Downloader.

  • Tiny previews in Import window

    I sometimes get full size previews in the import window (when I double click on a picture in the grid), but usually they are tiny and get extremely pixelated when I try to make them bigger. This makes it very difficult to decide if a picture is good enough to import. Help please.

    From a workflow standpoint - I import all my images then make my decisions about keeping or culling from the Library.  Better images, faster workflow

  • Flash CS4 extremely slow!

    It's extremely slow to render any flash motion in CS4. I import to the stage some material and when I try to change and create any motion the processor usage raise up to 50% and the program freezing. It will be completly useless... Is there any solution to this problem? thx a lot!

    Thank you for your fast reply!
    Yes it's possible with virtual machine it would be more faster than now. I use the sw under Windows 7 too but before this system I had Vista with the same problem. So I don't know. The newest patch did not help yet.
    I work under an Asus F3Sv series notebook with Core Duo T7500 and with Geforce GS8600M GS (256Mb).
    But It's very strange: under Vista I couldn't do anythin for an examle in the actionscript editor. After Windows 7 it has been working now. But the prevoius problem is still ongoing.

  • Finder Cover Flow image preview size is small, cannot be adjusted and showing empty blank previews in Mavericks

    When using Cover Flow the image preview in the main window (not the thumbnail list at the bottom) images appear but only use about 1/2 of the window space available.  It is also showing black/blank preview images as I scroll through the files even though they are cached. 
    I enlarge the Finder to fill my 27 inch display, slide the size adjustment handle (three lines under the file name preview) all the way down as far as I can.  The preview only enlarges to a certain point leaving the upper half of the window unused.  I wish to enlarge the cover flow preview images to use this window space even if it affects the overlapping or number of cover flow images avaialble in the window.    I am assuming this is becasue of the nature of cover flow showing the two previous and two following images to the left and right of the previewed image.  As I scroll left and right occsionally one of the upcoming images will appear as and empty preview as well.  It's all goofed up.
    Hoping for any suggestions.
    I have seen articles about using terminal to adjust "flow height" but never anything substainial that seemend like an informed solution.

    I also would like to know if there is an answer to this.  My landscape photos always display with a third of the cover flow window as blank empty space (matching your screenshot).  This seems like such a waste.  Is there any way to change the "padding" between the top of the finder bar and the cover flow preview?

  • Database export/exports are extremely slow

    We run PeopleSoft (PeopleTools version 8.46) applications on Oracle 10g (10.1.0.3). database exports/imports were extremely slow, so when we contact PeopleSoft customer connection, we were advised to modify the init.ora file with the "_optimizer_cost_based_transformation=off". After we set the init.ora file, exports/imports are very fast.
    What is optimizercost_based_transformation? will database performance have any effect by setting this parameter? Does anybody has issues with 10g export/import issues?
    any help?
    Thanks,

    Here is the extract from PeopleSoft customer connection -
    . Required INIT.ORA Parameters for Oracle 10g
    . Change #1 - optimizercost_based_transformation=off
    According to Oracle support: "This parameter controls whether query transformations (sub-query unnesting, complex view merging and push join predicate ) are performed using an algorithm that relies only on optimizer cost (new in 10g) or an algorithm that uses a combination of optimizer cost and heuristics (pre-10g). "
    Can anbody tell me how extaclty this parameter will affect the performance of the system? Althoght we didn't see any performance issues right now (We are just in the process of implimentaion) Going forward, i am worried to have this im my init.ora file.
    Any thoughts/suggestions related to this topic is helpful.
    THanks,

  • Blackberry desktop for Mac and Bold 9900 - extremely slow syncing?

    Is it just me or does it take forever just to sync a few changes to photos or music to my Bold 9900 using the Blackberry desktop on mac?   Ok granted the first time I added over 1000 songs, several playlists and about 40 photos from iPhoto via the sync software, it took over 3 hrs to sync.  Personally I find that extremely slow, especially when comparing to my ipad or iphone and itunes syncing.   Today I wanted just to remove one photo album from my phone, so unticked it and resynced again.   Over half an hour before it finished!  The registering media with device step takes a very long time, as does the initial preparation stage......  surely there must be something wrong?  
    Without the wifi sync feature i can't imagine it being practical just to add one song to my phone through this software before popping out with the phone in the car.... I would need to give myself over 30 minutes in advance.
    Any advice or help most appreciated.
    Thanks
    Simon

    Hey midinotes,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    It can take quite awhile to synchronize media to your BlackBerry.  Especially with the songs, 1000 songs it is normal to take a few hours.
    The easiest way I add music to my BlackBerry is dragging the media files to the media card.  It's a lot quicker.

  • Extremely slow display of imported PDF images

    We have been using imported PDF images in FrameMaker for many years now with great success. However, something happened a few weeks ago that now causes several of our machines to take an extremely long time to display PDF images. For example, a 200KB imported PDF image that previously took less than 1 second to render now takes 14 seconds. It is now almost impossible to work with many of our documents, which contains 100+ images.
    This has happened on several of our PCs running FrameMaker 8 (via the TechComm suite). These machines have the following software configuration.
    FrameMaker 8.0p277
    Adobe Acrobat 8.1.3
    Windows XP Professional SP3
    We have also disabled all plugins, but there is no difference - the problem still persists.
    However, there is one machine in our office that is not affected. It has the following configuration.
    FrameMaker 8.0p277
    Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0
    Windows XP Professional SP3
    Is it possible that Acrobat is affecting the PDF import? Or is it recent changes to XP? Or something that has been updated in the background?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    In practical terms, you can always toggle the display of graphics off in FM, but that doesn't work for all situations.
    A few things to check:
    Did you optimize the PDFs when they were created? (You'd still want to avoid downsampling and compression, but optimization still reduces the size.)
    Also, a lot of the graphics processing is memory-intensive, so you should be using machines that are loaded up with RAM and have healthy open space.
    Finally, if it happens consistently, the machines' anti-virus programs may be screening everything every time each file is opened. So adjust those settings... That's easy to test for too -- just shut it off and try an import.
    How heavily are the servers being hit by other applications and users, and how fast is the network? Not being able to serve the files quickly enough is another chokepoint.
    Move a book with Bruce Foster's Archive plugin to create a local copy and test with that to see if the problem is actually FM and the local machine, or something outside.....
    It may also be worth checking to see if the computers have the lastest graphics card drivers loaded too.

  • Bridge CS6 - extremely slow preview updates and image deleting

    1. Updating previews (100%) is very slow.
    Bridge CS6 has problems updating the previews of images that get edited.
    While creating preview from scratch is rather swift, updating previews takes about six minutes on a MacBook Pro retina with 16Gb RAM.
    After one minute the preview gets updated,  but then the busy signal in the low left corner just keeps turning and turning for five more minutes.
    Why is this happening? Is Bridge still busy with those previews? Why? The preview has already been updated, why those extra five minutes of business?
    2. Image deleting is painfully slow.
    You type Command + Delete, and nothing is happening for five, six seconds.
    Only then the images get deleted.
    Has anybody else noticed these two hold-ups?
    Edit:
    I just went back after writing and editing this post, and Bridge is still busy with the preview update. This is now 15 minutes after the image had been edited. The busy signal in the lower left corner just never turns off again.
    It feels like Bridge has also problems working in the background. As soon as you open e.g. a browser to bridge the waiting for bridge, Bridge seems to keep the busy signal rotating, but not actually doing anything until you close the browser again. Which is why I just had a 15 minute wait for an image preview to finally update. The time spent in the browser did not "count".

    Hi Noel,
    Yes, I did the upgrade, and I did not experience any problems.
    Only, the issues above were not fixed in the update.
    Are you not experiencing the same issues? (I'm on a Mac).
    C. Pfaffenbichler, I was actually looking for a dedicated Bridge forum, but I couldn't see a Bridge icon.

  • Windows XP insatll on OVM is running extremely slow...

    Hi All,
    I have just installed Win XP as a virtual machine on a PowerEdge1950 server with 16MB and 4 CPU's...
    I have completed the install using vnc connection but the process is extremely slow (taking almost minutes to complete each action).
    After this I have enabled Remote Desktop on the virtual machine and it improved things minimally...
    Can anyone please advise me what parameters and/or settings I could check/modify to improve things...?
    Many thanks for any pointers...

    Hi,
    I have changed the config file so it now looks as follows:
    # Automatically generated xen config file
    import os, re
    arch = os.uname()[4]
    if re.search('64', arch):
    arch_libdir = 'lib64'
    else:
    arch_libdir = 'lib'
    name = "winda"
    builder = "hvm"
    memory = "4096"
    disk = [ 'file:/OVS/winda,hda,w', ]
    vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:3d:75:fb, bridge=xenbr0', ]
    uuid = "3a3dfcfa-8136-2658-98f2-46041845b499"
    device_model = "/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
    kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
    vnc=1
    vncunused=1
    apic=0
    acpi=0
    pae=1
    vcpus=1
    serial = "pty" # enable serial console
    on_reboot = 'restart'
    on_crash = 'restart'
    After this I have done 'xm create winda':
    [root@mycomputer xen]# xm create winda
    Using config file "./winda".
    Started domain winda
    However, even after 5-10 mins I cannot see the instance in 'xm list' This is not the case if I have acpi=1 (in which case the instance starts without any issues - except being slow)
    One more additional point - this is an OBI image of Windows XP (should it matter)?
