Lightroom 4 - Processing Speed Restriction

Hey together,
im trying the trail version of lightroom 4 tonight. the big problem for me is that if i am in develop mode
the the speed working speed of lightroom breaks down. its much more slower than lightroom 3 in development mode.
If i choose the standard module and tunes up the brightness, lights, backlights or adjust the black saturation,
the previews and the slide regulators will works ticket of.
So i dont think that the problem is my PC because thats are my Technical Specs:
CPU:                        6 Core - AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3,2Ghz Black Edition

Anyone an Idea why Lightroom 4 is working so slowly ??

Same problem here: Lightroom 3.6 had excellent speed. Version 4 frequently bogs down in editing (similar to memory problems in an early version of Lightroom 1.x or 2.x, I don't remember which -- hopefully Adobe can fix memory management like they did to create version 3.6).
Changing from Edit mode to Develop mode (and back) isseems now to be 10 to 50% slower.
After changing edit sliders on a larger TIF file (4000x6000 pixels), then attempting to zoom at 100% pixel level will never focus, or takes much longer than version 3. Exiting Lightroom 4 and restarting often helps what seems to be a memory management problem. The same file will then focus at 100% pixel view. Editing RAW files is faster than TIF, but LR version 4 is slower than 3.6.
My setup: catalog is 3 gigabytes in size with 70,000 images. I have plenty of hard drive space (481 gb free on a 1.8 tb drive), 4 gb RAM, 2.4 Ghz, Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2. No problem in previous Lightroom version 3.6.

Severe corruption of .MOV files in Lightroom & unusable processing speed

Hi all,
I run on an Intel i7 quad core, 12 GB Ram, 2 GB Graphics Card (nvidia), Raid 0, 2x512 GB Harddisk space (1 TB), Windows Vista 64bit using the latest cut of Lightroom 3.4.1 64bit.
Using a Canon 7D with latest firmware updates, for RAW/JPG/MOV - this is the only source of all files that I currently use in Lightroom.
First Question regarding corruption of .MOV files:
Once I copy my files over from the camera onto my computer, I can play all .MOV files seemlessly with no flaws or hiccups (using multiple movie players), after I import the files in the directory (this includes the .JPG's, .RAW's, and .MOV's) into Lightroom, my .MOV files no longer play on my computer, the files begin to stutter and jolt, and are completely unusable. You can imagine my frustration as I've only recently added a huge chunk of my files to be cataloged by Lightroom, resulting in the last years worth of .MOV files being corrupted and ruined.
I am wondering if anyone has had this issue before and if they've found a way to fix it? I understand I could simply un-tick the import of .MOV files (and do so from now on), but I find it baffling that Lightroom is ruining the .MOV files - as it's not actually meant to touch the original files themselves is it? It's meant to add it's own layer of things to do to that file, stored in its own catalogue never meant to actually change the original files themselves.
Second question regarding unusable processing speed:
When DEVELOPing in Lightroom (I develop on two 24" monitors, both displaying at 1920x1200) it can take anywhere between 10-20 seconds for what I'm actually doing to take effect, ie. spot removal or changing the noise levels of a photo. My catalog currently has 10438 photos in it - is this overwhelming for Lightroom?
I love Lightroom and its functionality - when I first started using it these problems didn't seem to exist, so I'm unaware if it's an update or if it's just the increase in photos it has catalog'd that're bogging it down. I would love to resolve these matters as Lightroom is definitely where I want to be.
regards,
Emilio

Thanks for your response,
After what you said, in having absolutely no issue with .MOV files, I decided to ensure every drive on my computer was up-to-date and all software packages were final cut versions.
When I started playing my .MOV files (using VLC version 1.1.10 as standard), the files played fine after a graphics card update/VLC update/Windows system update/computer reboot (Lightroom NOT loaded) - So you are absolutely right, Lightroom is NOT in any way affecting my original .MOV Files, however:
When I then loaded Lightroom up, and started to then play my .MOV files (whilst Lightroom was running, and still using VLC (standard default player) (no other packages loaded), the files would begin to jolt/jitter/ struggle to play again.
If I monitor Task manager/Resources the only noticable heavy usage on Lightroom is having dedicated itself 1.7 GB of memory (not that much considering 12 GB is available), but also that clicking on any picture (whilst in grid-view, showing .CR2+.JPG as one, second monitor showing preview image) all of my 8 CPU's would spike to 90-100% for a second or so then drop down - fair enough.
I then close Lightroom and my .MOV files still don't play accurately - after a while (approx 30 minutes) my .MOV files will play seemlessly fine again.
So, I stand corrected that Lightroom is, in fact, NOT corrupting my files and regret my title choice, but is Lightroom doing something to my system which is making it hang/struggle whilst Lightroom seems to flush/go through its buffer?
Also what import preview do you set your catalog to? 1:1 then wait for it to complete the full import or standard?
Another major issue I'm having is when exporting multiple files (200+ or so), I notice the exporting process is fast initially then dramatically slows down my whole computer as all my RAM (the full 12 GB's) gets sucked up - after 60 or so photo exports Lightroom would have used the full 12 GB Ram I have available, and stopping the export does NOT free up the Ram - I need to completely close Lightroom (which then frees up the used RAM).
Thanks in advanced

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!

I'm losing LIghtroom processing changes when opening photo in Photoshop. Why?

I have been using Lightroom only for a couple of weeks. For several years I used Bridge and Camera Raw for RAW file processing. After noticing that every .DNG file I process in LIghtroom 5.4 and subsequently open in Photoshop-CS4 loses the Lightroom processing in Photoshop, I conducted the following experiment:
A .dng file that had not previously been in LR catalog was placed in folder as Original DNG.dng.
File was copied and named Lightroom Processed.dng
Both files were imported into LR
The Lightroom Processed.dng file was loaded into Develop module and Exposure set to +5.00. (Note that original is underexposed by about 1 stop and at +5 the photo is almost completely washed out.)
Lightroom Processed.dng was opened in Photoshop-CS4. (There was no prompt for "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments". I'm assuming it was because it was a .dng file.) The original underexposed version was displayed is PS. When Ctrl-S was used to save the file, a file entitled Lightroom Processed-Edit.tif was automatically saved in the same folder and imported into LR.
I copied the Develop Settings from Lightroom Processed.dng to LIghtroom Processed-Edit.tif and the numeric exposure setting was displayed as +5.00 BUT there are slight differences in appearance and in the histogram for the .dng and .tif versions. The .tif version is very slightly darker than the .dng version.
I opened LIghtroom Processed-Edit.tif in PS. This time I was prompted to "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments" along with the other two options for opening a copy without adjustments or opening original. I selected "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments".
I can't believe that one cannot process a raw file in Lightroom and then open it in Photoshop without having the processing one does in Lightroom carry over into Photoshop. I've never had this problem using Bridge and Camera Raw. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance to all who can help with this problem.

@willard, moving from a Photoshop Bridge-ACR workflow to an Lightroom workflow there are a couple important differences to be aware off.
a. ACR/Bridge uses .xmp sidecars to read and write changes to raw files(in the case of DNG files the .xmp data is stored within the file header). ACR/ Bridge cannot read the data stored in the Lightroom Catalog. The info is in the file.
b. Lightroom by default uses a Catalog file to read and write all that you do in Lightroom. The info is in the Catalog. There is also the option to have Lightroom also write info to a sidecar .xmp file or within the file header of DNG, TIFF or JPG files. This can also be achieved by using the CTRL/CMD-S. This info in the .xmp or DNG files is used by ACR/Bridge.
c. In your case the xmp data written by LR 5 which uses the equivalent of ACR 8.4 will not be fully understood by PS CS4 which uses ACR 5.x.
d. So if you open a DNG file directly in PS CS4 there will not be full compatibly. (you may have requested Lightroom to write to the DNG file but PS CS4 cannot read it all)

Switching from PC to Mac, have question about processing speed

Hi, I am going to buy a used Mac off of ebay and I am pretty clueless about where to start. I am not very knowledgable when it comes to the difference in processing speeds on pc's and apples both and have just been using what has been passed along. I am on a budget and cannot afford to do a bunch of upgrades when I get a new (to me) apple. I am currently working on a old pc (8 years?) that has had as many upgrades as it can handle. It is a Pentium III 548 mhz, 384 mb of ram and 40g hd on Windows XP. The Apple that I am stuck on getting right now is a G3 with a bunch of upgrades. It is an Imac PowerPC g3 with a 600mhz processor, 512 mb of memory, 120 gb hard drive. It has OS X 10.4 Tiger and ILife and has a single processor. It has a airport extreme card also. My question is 1) Does it take less mhz and ram to run the operating system for an apple and 2) am I going to notice a big difference in speed between what I have now and with the apple? The g3 is $249 and comes with a 90 day guarantee minus shipping. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
Tracy

I'd save your money or apply it to an Apple G4 (AGP or newer) tower. Depending on how it was configured, you may find that your PIII was a little faster loading web pages than the 600 MHz iMac. My 1 GHz P3s are faster than my iMac DV G3-400 MHz models. I think $249 plus shipping for a 5 or 6 year-old iMac is a bit high. I picked up one of my G3-400 MHz iMac DVs for $20 at a thrift store. If there are any in your area that accept donated computers, you might want to check for a local bargain. While the 600 MHz model that you described is loaded, that's about as far as it goes, other than bumping the memory to 1 GB, but that would likely involve removing a pair of 256 MB DIMMs already in it, and buying a pair of 512 MB DIMMs. If it has a single 512 MB DIMM installed, you wouldn't have to spend as much. Selling the computer with Tiger installed but without the OS installer media will eventually put you in a bind, when you'll need to boot from the installer CD to perform disk repair maintenance. Some may consider Tiger to be a bit demanding of that iMac's system resources, preferring the predecessor "Panther" instead. The bottom line is that the iMac is somewhat limited, in terms of design (no PCI slots) and/or future upgrade potential. If it will suit your needs as a starter Mac, try finding a comparable model for less. You might also check for used computer dealers in your area, as that saves the cost of shipping, and return shipping - if there's a problem. The G4 tower has more potential for hardware tweaking, if you decide to stick with the Mac OS. You can find G4 towers at eBay selling for less than $249, but you'd need to have a monitor. Is space at a premium, in terms of a preference for the iMac's compact form factor? There is a direct correlation between the OS version and the optimal processor speed and amount of installed memory to adequately run it. OS X needs/uses more memory than the older, pre-OS Mac versions, just as Vista or XP2 requires more memory than Windows Me or 98SE. A comparison of Intel's P3s to Apple's G3s or G4s gets into the debate over which one handles more instructions per clock cycle than the other at a given speed. It's difficult to do a head-to-head comparison, because the hardware and software is not the same.

Lightroom processed files crash Bridge

I have been experiencing Bridge crashes when I try to open folders with Lightroom processed files in them. I tested this with all the folders of CR2 processed files. When the folder is chosen and as Bridge begins to process the files, it crashes. Moving the files to other folders, renaming them, adding them one at a time, all cause Bridge to crash. Other folders processed with ACR or other software render fine and Bridge behaves as expected. I am running Lightroom 1.0, Bridge 2.1, on a MacPro 2.66/OS10.4.9/ 5 gb RAM, 750 gb Raid.

Here is the workflow. I import CR2 files from my CF cards using Lightroom. I add keywords, ratings, and general corrections to color and exposure using the Develop module. I will than sort the CR2s into sub folders based upon their ratings. I than export the files as tifs and jpegs into their own folders. When I attempt to use Bridge to access any of these folders, it crashes. When accessing folders with ACR processed CRW and CR2 raw files, Bridge has no problem. The word process, here, means files that have had adjustments made that will change the XMP file. These adjustments range from minor to major.
Photoshop has no problems opening either the CR2s or the tifs or the jpegs processed in Lightroom. As long as Bridge is not used, everything works as expected.
The ACR versions used to process some of the files are all versions since its introduction.

I purchased Aperture 3 about a year ago. I hardly use it because it is so slow. If I uninstall the sample library, will that help the processing speed to edit pictures? If so, how do I uninstall just the sample library?

I purchased Aperture 3 about a year ago. I hardly use it because it's processing speed is so slow when editing pictures. Can I uninstall the sample library to increase the processing ability of the program? If so, how do I do that? I need simple instructions because I am not a professional at knowing how to do this.
Thank you. Any help will be appreciated. The following is information on my IMac:

poppy-
Aperture is a hardware hog. Unfortunately your iMac has a weak processing unit and relatively weak graphics, both of which are important for Aperture performance. Your iMac will never run Aperture particularly well; it may or may not be adequate for your needs.
I ran Aperture with weak hardware (2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo 2006 Macbook Pro, 3 GB RAM) for years. It was tolerable because I also used a Mac Pro for heavy editing work. With weak hardware we need to optimize everywhere we can. I suggest:
• Do not bother running Aperture until you add RAM.
• Before each Aperture session restart the Mac to clear possible memory leaks, and run only Aperture by itself unless you have 6 GB or more RAM on board.
• Drives slow as they fill so verify that all hard drives are no more than approximately 70% full as a guideline. Even less full is better.
• Keep the Library size reasonable by using a referenced-Masters workflow with Masters on external drives. Back up originals before import into Aperture or any other images app.
Good luck!

How do i improve processing speed on macbook pro? it has 2gb memory

I purchased my macbook pro in 2012. It has 2gb memory. Currently on OSX version 10.9.
The processing speed has decreased over a period of time. Although i don't keep heavy data in the system. I have been able to fix it couple of times, but it keeps recurring every few weeks.

You won't get full performance from Mavericks with only 2 GB of memory.
One of the myths that circulate on this site is the myth that you must maintain a certain percentage, such as 10% or 15%, of free space on the startup volume. That myth is based on nothing except the fact that people keep repeating it.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.

Macbook Pro Battery swollen and Can't charge will affected processing Speed

Will Macbook Pro Battery swollen and Can't charge will affected processing Speed? I read article that processing speed will reduce if we take out the battery however will this affected if our battery unable to charge? My MBP still able to detect battery but no more charging.
My is macbook pro year 2010 macbook 7.1 13 inch

I will replacing it soon, however at mean while I still using it. I just want to check either it will affected my speed for now?

IDOC processing speed

Dear All
Anyone have any idea how we can improve IDOC processing speed
And what are the factor that have affect IDOC processing speed
Thanks & Regards
Amit Shivhare

Hi,
1. data which is posted thru idoc
finally goes thru some standard bapi,
which ultimately posts the data.
2. bapis are standard sap code,
which do a lot of vlaidations
before putting data into tables.
3. Hence, i don't think,
we can much upon their improvement !
what are the factor that have affect IDOC processing speed?
Re: Issue of grouping IDOC segments in huge loads
Idoc Segment limit ?
It is the standard program flow of transaction WE02 which checks the number of segments.if the count is more than 1000,it creates a another group and displays it for the sake of readability.
Anyway it does not affect the inbound processing of the IDOC.

LabView 8 processing speed.

I use LabView for intensive mathematical calculations, so that processing speed is an important consideration. I have just converted my programs from LabView 6.1 to 8.0 and find that they run at least a factor of 10 slower on the new version. Is there a more efficient way to compile the programs, or does the 8.0 version have so much more overhead that it will never match the speed of earlier versions?
Thanks.

I have found that LabVIEW 8.0 is often faster on pure math.
(As ChrisJ already hinted, make sure to compile or save a freshly converted VI. If you just load an old VI in a new version, it will be significantly slower until it is saved in the new version.)
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

OPTION 3 LIMITED AdSL Speed RESTRICTION ...

Hi Guys
My Option 3 LIMITED! 8mb Broadband service speed gone down By BT to 0.7 -1.5 mbps...
That happened 27-03-10 and today it's still same ....
Do you guys have any idea how long does this punishment is going to Last?
2nd of April and its still Restricted to very Low speed for very High Price!
If I had a chance to move to Cable I will do it first thing in the morning but I'm not in the Cable area
I know It's Rude but I hate Bad Telecommunications and Their Call centres that located in India !
Thanx in advance for any info...

Did you not get a warning email from BT informing you when your usage hit 80gb and that if you hit 100gb in March you would have a speed restriction placed upon you? When you go over the 'fair usage' 100gb limit, BT restrict your speed between 5pm and 11pm to 1mbs. Its very very difficult for me to stay under under 100 gb having 4 teenagers and 5 pc's in the house. I was speed rescricted last month but as I remained under 100gb this last 30 days they have immediately lifted my restriction.
If you have had no mails from BT about usage, I suggest you leave a note in this thread for the moderators who can have a look at your account for you to see if there isnt another problem.
Hope this helps

I understand the FUP that BT will apply, which really p***es me off, as on my 4Mbps Sky ADSL2+ service, on average I download 150GB per month, although last month was a record for me at 350GB.
So as far as I understand it when I reach 100GB usage on BT Infinity (which given a 10x speed increase, I'm likely to hit 100GB in a couple of days), BT will slow me down during peak hours to 2Mbps down, and 1Mbps up, for a period of 30 days.. fine, well not fine, it's **** really, but I understand it will happen, so fine.
My question is this. If I download 100GB in the first 5 days of the month, then I will get speed restricted. During off-peak hours my speed will be unrestricted, and I can continue to download / upload at full speed. So let's say for the remaining 25 days of the month, I download a further 200 to 300GB. At the end of the 30 day speed restricted period, will BT then lift my peak hours speed restriction, even though I may have downloaded 200 - 300GB in the last 25 days.
What I'm trying to figure out is, will BT permanently speed restrict me if I continue to dowload more than 100GB during the 30 day speed restricted period?

Hey Guys i know im new here!
i have had the same problem with my business connection
i phoned the guys at bt business help centre 08456007020
and they said i had downloaded 121gb in 3 weeks and i was on maximum throttling at peak time for 30days
1 measly mbps it is **bleep**!
i am fed up with bt as i am sure everyone else is! they should take a leaf out of plusnet and do traffic management more their way!
with gaming prioritised at all times and have no limit on the speed's we get,
appart from slightly slower speed's in peak times say 10 - 25% less of the usual rate in peak times if the line is over 4mb
which i think is understandable and would love to hear your comments and also below is a bt speedtest result as of 22:43 29.09.2010
Download speedachieved during the test was - 952 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :8128 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 7150 Kbps
My ip address is static and my speedtest summary page is here

Why different processing speeds...

Hi, I´m interested in purchasing a new Macbook Pro as my old iMac G5 is seemingly worthless. Could someone kindly explain why the 13" Macbooks have a larger processing unit and if the smaller laptop is faster than the 15" or 17"? This would help me greatly in deciding which size and processing speed is necessary for me. Thanks.

In short... they are not faster than their bigger brothers. The 13" model features 2 cores, where as the bigger models are quad core.

Comparing Processing Speeds

What is the difference in processing speed between the iPhone 5s and 5c?

That's just the thing, Apple doesn't sell .Mac on speed or even capacity really, they sell it on features. While they do allow you to see how much bandwidth you've currently used, there isn't a published "speed" baseline to gauge by.
Whatever the speed of .Mac is, I'd say it's just barely baseline especially when you consider the kinds of pages (with PNG images) that iWeb creates. That's also why I assume most other hosts that DO have specific numbers listed would be above this and, unless you have a site that will receive tens of thousands of hits a day, you probably won't see a difference between one given host and another.
