Lightroom CC very slow in saving Photomerge dng

I am running a late 2009 27"iMac and never had any issues till the upgrade to LR CC. Now when every I run the Photomerge option for either HDR or panorama everything is fine till I try and "merge" and then it takes 30' for the process to complete and "save" the dng file. The same thing happens when using the Nik plugin's. When I use HDR Efex everything is fine till I hit "save" and then it takes 30-40' to save the file. While it is trying to save the image LR craws to a halt and it might take 5' to open a preview. Any help would be appreciated.

How big are the images?
How many images in the panorama?
How much RAM do you have in your computer?
What operating system are you using?

Lightroom LR4 - very slow Keyword set updating

Lightroom LR4 - very slow Keyword set updating 1] keyword an image with some keywords from a keyword set. Those keywiords are highlighted in keyword set 2] select next image 3] wait about 4 to 5 seconds for highlighted keywords to be non highlighted. ARRGHHH the problem with this, is that yo ucannot use the keyword set to apply these keywords to the newly selected image until they are not highlighted any more. yet another area where lightroom is Slooooooooooow!!

Hi John, Did you solve the problem of slow update times associated with entering a keyword tag? I too am having this problem. During my most recent keyword entry it took 45 sec to add "Arizona, Hacienda Del Desierto, Lucy's Warbler, Spring " into the "Keyword Tags" box. During this time the box indicates "working...". The time to update has been getting progressively longer.
I have LR4 4.4 and I'm running on a 3.1 GHz IMac OS X 10.8.4, 16 GB RAM.

Lightroom speed - very slow

I have a catalog that is very slow displaying previews. Often for several minutes it only shows a blank grey preview in the filmstrip and the main previews are very blotchy.
I currently have about 24,000 photos in the catalog. Is the number of photos the problem if so what is a practical limit?
My laptop is a dual core pentium with 2gb or ram.
Thanks,
Ed

Generally the previews are much slower than in the past in all views. However it is REALLY bad when it first starts. I should also mention that the files are stored on an external USB 2.0 drive.
Someone mentioned letting lightroom generate previews. I have a few questions about that. I thought most files have an embedded preview that lightroom should use by default. I normally import my camera raw files into lightroom and convert to DNG at import, sometimes I will shoot in jpg. The files that were working the slowest on the preview are .tiff but others do it as well just not as bad. Also seems like I read when lightroom generates previews they are only kept for 30 days after last accessed time. Is this all correct?
Thanks,
Ed

Lightroom is very slow, utilizes 100% CPU, then freezes or closes program. How do I fix it?

I am having a problem with Lightroom 5 being very slow, utilizing 100% CPU, then freezing or closing the program. How do I fix it?
I just upgraded to LR5 from LR3 on Sunday as well as CS6 from CS5 (which I have not tried out yet). I spent several hours talking with Vamil, from LR Support Staff yesterday. He was extremely helpful and kind and tried everything he could think of while remote-handling my PC and talking with me on the phone. He deleted preferences, cache, temp files, updated graphics with a new replacement file from AMD site, then re-downloaded and reinstalled LR5.
It is still very slow and then freezes and closes down with a message of utilizing 100% CPU. Within several seconds of using the brush in Develop, I started having lots of problems. I could not even move the picture around. The side screens would not disappear like they should. And I could not move to another picture. The day before I spent several hours trying to work on just 1 picture. After all the changes yesterday, I tried to move from picture number 1 to about 130 after having not touched it for 10 minutes, and a half hour later, it still said, "Processing" with no picture coming up, just a blank prieview pane.
LR Support suggested I get a new CPU though he thought according to specs mine should be ok and other programs were running fine.
My PC is only 2 years old.
I talked to HP briefly about CPU updates for my HP PC. He said I probably do not have a problem but suggested I run self-diagnostics and maybe buy a new CPU anyway.
I ran diagnostics listed through the HP Support Assistant connection on my PC. All was ok.
I still researched if I could buy a compatible CPU upgrade. I cannot even find any CPUs still selling that are listed for my PC. Best Buy Store said they could not even order a compatible CPU. They said my Bus speed may not be big enough, so they suggest I get a new PC. What Bus speed do I need?
I have the following PC Setup:
     AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor 2.70 GHz with 6 Cores
          with 2700 MHz Base, 3200 MHz Boost, and 4000 System Bus Speed, and 95 watts;
     HP Pavilion Elite, HPE-500y, 900 GB Free, new in 2011;
     Windows 7, 64 Bit;
     RAM 16 GB, DDR3;
     Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6450;
     Nikon, D200, with Raw Files;
     External Hard Drive for Original Photos, 600 GB Free;
     LR Catalog and Library are on Main Hard Drive;
     Monitor, Sony CPD-200ES, new in 2004.
I am thinking of buying a new monitor tonight mostly so I can do better photo work while enlarging the pictures to do it. I am concerned that while it will help my viewing, it will take more power away, and make my usage of LR5 even worse. Will a new monitor affect my performance? I am looking at HP Monitors with IPS. Is this the best recommended choice for LR and Photoshop CS6?
I think I would like to stay with a 6 core processor since I need to have several items open for other non-Photoshop functions. When running LR5, I had everything else closed. With LR3, I was able to have other things open.
I do not really want to buy a new computer and know that those I have talked with at this point are only guessing after looking for what they thought should fix it. 4 People from Lightroom Support have all thought I should not be having problems with my setup.
I bought one of the best computers 2 years ago. Is it really obsolete already so that I cannot use LR5? Is everyone else buying a new PC every 2 years? I used to go 5-7 years.
Even though I have figured out some of what my PC has, I really do not know technically what I am talking about so am at the mercy of other's help. Are there any solutions that might work short of buying a new computer?
I also have taken 40th anniversary photos for some people and am waiting to give them as a free gift since I am not a professional at all. I am hoping to get through this problem soon so that I can provide some nice memories for them.
I have not gotten any further than trying to adjust 1 picture. I have no comments on uploading speed, since I did that while still in LR3.
Thank you for your time and help.

I'm running LR with no speed issues on an Intel 17-860 quad core with about the same performance as your AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor. My system is also an HP, which originally had a single 1TB 7200 HDD. I've since added a second 2TB Black Caviar HDD, which provided no significant difference in LR's performance.
AMD processors do not implement hyper-threading and don't need it. I'd start debug by process of elimination:
1) Disconnect all externally attached USB, FireWire, or other externally connected devices except keyboard, mouse, and your single 1280 x1024 display. This includes all externally attached memory card readers, phones, ipads, etc.
2) Reboot and logon as Administrator.
3) Remove your Internet connection and turn off all Antivirus and firewall programs.
4) Open LR and under Catalog Settings set 'Standard Preview Size' to 1440 (slightly larger than your display width). Under the Metadata tab here make sure 'Automatically Write changes into XMP is NOT checked.
4) Create a 'New Catalog,' Create a new folder and add about 10 raw image file copies to it for testing, and Import it into the new catalog. In the Import module make sure under File Handling 'Render Previews' has 1:1 selected. Wait until all Preview building has completed in the Library module.
Try editing these image files inside the new catalog as you were previously.

Lightroom 3 Very Slow

I am using Lightroom 3.4.1. It has recently slowed dramatically. I have a very large catalog - 361k images. The slowness comes in building previews.
and working in the Develop module. I am running an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB ram, 500gb of free space on the hard drive. I have gone through all the optimizing suggestions on the Adobe site. Is there a way to run a catalog this large efficiently? If I upgrade to a Mac Pro with more memory and faster processors would I see significantly greater speed in this large catalog? I built a test catalog and imported several hundred images and it worked very fast. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you! SDM

Hi Geoff
Well, I thought I was rendering standard previews, but it looks like my finger slipped, as I just checked and LR said it was rendering 1:1. I stopped and restarted the process.
But, for what is worth, I think the limiting factor for me is just getting the images off the disk. I have 1.6 TB of image data, and at a very optimistic 50 MB/sec of reading, it would take 8 hours just to read all the files. But, of course, I don't average 50 MB/s, and then LR has to process and write out the data, regardless of the size of the previews.
It would be interesting to compare a recent MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt connector to a RAID to an older MacPro with a eSata connection.
Regarding my comment of running out of RAM--while I do think it is a problem in general, I just looked and it doesn't seem to be an issue right now. I am using about 8-10 GB of my 14 installed.

CS6 Very slow when saving files

I am an avid user of CS6 and only until recently have I began to have issues with saving these files.
I realize I could be rasterizing these files, but I can't in case I want to edit.
There are tons of clipping masks and patterns so that may be the issue, but why is this just starting now?
I just received a brand new iMac and a new subscription to creative cloud, so it's hard explaing to my boss why it is that I can't complete projects on time.
Please help!

Is the happening with CS6 or CC? What OS version do you have, Mavericks? Do yu have any 3rd party plug ins, anything from vectorscribe to extensis font activation?

May be you can check to see if Spotlight is running in backgound on your system. Also, check that all your previous eclusions are still in place.
Ian,
Well as for Lion, my first plan of attack is to ghost an externally bootable drive and try things there first. :-) but I had another question... Perhaps I missed it somewhere, but is there a "performance tip" that involves excluding some LR items from Spotlight? I don't think I've seen that one.. What files are best to exclude? Thanks in advance.

Slow file saving

I find PSE very slow in saving files after I edit them. I generally edit RAW photos and save them as TIF files. It usually takes 30-60 seconds to save a single edited file. I have plenty of RAM and hard drive storage. Is this common?

Hi Trayce;
How much RAM do you have?
How much free disk space do you have on your system disk?

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?

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

Lightroom 5.5 Import from Catalog *very* slow performance.

Importing from a second catalog from a shoot is *very* slow with the last version or couple of versions of Lightroom. It's been about 20 minutes and the import is moving glacially slow and is only about 20% done.
Here are as many stats as I have:
iMac 27" 3.5Ghz Core i7, 32G of ram, 3T fusion drive (the late 2013 model maxed out)
Master catalog has 117,000 images in it.
The catalog I'm importing has 948 images in it.
CPU use during the import is 100% used by lightroom (note that the multiple CPUs can go to more than 100% so this means I think that one CPU is maxed out, though LR can sometimes take 500% of my CPUs during an export)
Lightroom is using 4.2G of RAM (10G free in activity monitor)
Hard drive is fairly full, but still has 366G free on it (so about 10%)
Lightroom Mobile sync is enabled (not on this folder I don't think) but says "service unavailable" at this point.
Lightroom is fully up to date (5.5) on both iMac and laptop (also a mac in case that matters). Both are up to date with the latest OS software.
How I did it was:
Export the shoot as a new catalog on my iMac
Transfer it to my laptop (smart previews only, no masters)
Edit images, metadata, etc
Transfer the entire folder back (.lrcat, previews, smart previews) to iMac
In my master catalog do an import from catalog
Waited for ages for checking for dupes (which I can understand with such a big catalog)
Selected to import all, changing metadata and develop edits, and selecting to put new images in the folder (not sure why it asked as there weren't any new images)
The last time I did an import I started it and then went out somewhere so I didn't notice how long it took, but this seems completely crazy. In the time it's taken to write this up it's now about 20 minutes later and the progress bar is maybe at the 33% range. It's still working away, it's just crazy crazy slow.
Anything to help out or debug would be greatly appreciated. I suspect it's pure size of the catalog, but 120k isn't outside the realm of what I've heard people say works fine, or maybe the Fusion drive (maybe the OS is trying to move files around behind the scenes)?
Either way this didn't seem to be an issue until the last couple of versions (I haven't gone and re-installed 5.4 or 5.3 to check) and it's starting to really frustrate me

Hi Jim,
Great suggestion! It opens perfectly fine on its own. I even went as far as re-exporting it once it loaded but am still experiencing the same issue. That same catalog loads perfectly fine on my assistant's iMac.
I can't really think about anything that changed in my environment with the exception of a new Bootcamp partition to run windows on an external Thunderbolt HD but I doubt this is related.
I'm open to any suggestions while I am trying this again... 10 minutes of 'Checking for changed and duplicate photos'.

Very Slow preview rendering for lightroom 5 on import

I am seeing very very slow rendering of preview images only when using the import function in lightroom 5. By slow, I mean for a shoot of 60 shots in raw, it could take 30 minutes before I can preview them all in the pane to see which ones I want to actually import. This was not an issue with lightroom 4. It is not an issue when using lightroom. Previews are fast there, even for images I've never pulled up before.
My hardware is a PC, with an intell i7 chip, and 16 gig of memory. My nvidia graphics card has the latest drivers.
I've seen a few others reporting this issue, so I'm trying to log it as a bug. Even though the dial up support text on the adobe lightroom says available 24/7, it now plays a voice recording that says only available m-f.

I'm having the same problem using Windows 7 (64b). I just took a shoot over the weekend for a significant birthday event. Now I can't load the photos. The work-around doesn't work as the program freezes before I get the chance to select the camera under "files".
I recently upgraded from 3.6 to 5 as I was also noticing a slowdown in the import function. That turned out to be a bad move I think. I also deliberately cleaned up the CF card and removed all my video recordings, as this seems to be reported as part of the problem, but to no avail.
This seems to be a pretty major bug to have in a major release that's been around for a while now, that I'm expected to pay for, and no sign of a resolution to date!

Windows 7 + Office 2007 & 2010 VERY slow saving files to on 2008 R2 files shares

OK I have litterally tried everthing in every forum there is to resolve this. It is only happening on our Win 7 workstations that are running Office 2007 or 2010. Our file shares are on a 2008 R2 server. Opening and saving files on the shares using
Office is very slow. I have tried updates and server and workstations are 100% up to date. The server is only running as a file share server. Nothing else on it. We have completely set up new PC's to test with clean Win 7 installs and nothing else except Office.
Nothing else on the network is slow at all. I have tried all the hotfixes in the world that could relate to this from many hours of research into possible causes. I have done the EnableShellDataCaching fix, the SMB 2 disable fix, the windows search/indexer
fix, the pdfmaker fix, the lookup wizard add-in fix, the go to the newest firmware on the cisco switch fix, update workstation nic driver fix, the Trusted Locations in Excel fix, and about a dozen other fixes. NOTHING WORKS! This has brought our Win 7
and Office 2007/2010 users to a halt in their ability to do their jobs. Our company is suffering badly. And did I mention that our IT dept is getting a lot of heat and criticism about it. FYI we are running an IBM E5450 with dual multi-thread
multi-core(8) 3 Mhz Intel Xeon processors with 2008 R2 64-bit, 12 GB ram, and the server is using litterally no resources. Network connected is Gigabit. This has to be a Microsoft issue with 2008/Win 7/Office 2007&2010. This has become a nightmare for
out IT dept and has consumed weeks of our time when we need to be working on other projects. Can anyone solve this. Microsoft: Please release a REAL fix for this that we can run on the server or push via GPO to the workstations.

Hi,
Take a look at this and see if it helps:

Office 2010 components, such as Word 2010?
At this time, I suggest trying to start Excel in safe mode. Then, open the Excel file or create a new Excel file, and save the file to the network again.
Start the Excel program in safe mode
1.       Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to Microsoft Office.
2.        Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Microsoft Excel.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Excel program, we can try to disable them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Excel program:
Disable add-ins
Click File menu, click Options > Add-in, click Go button in the Manage: Com-in Add.
Check if there are any add-ins, clear the checkbox to disable them.
Close the Office program and restart it.
Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In, restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.

Is the performance also slow when you trying to save the Excel file to other network path?
At this time, we can also try to test this issue in the clean boot mode.
Test in Clean boot Mode
===============
Let’s disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps:
1.       Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.
2.        Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3.       Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
Note: Temporarily disabling the Startup Group only prevents the startup programs from loading at startup. This should not affect the system or other programs. We may still manually run these programs later.
What’s the result now?
How to return from the Clean Boot state
After the troubleshooting, we can return from the clean boot state:
1.       Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.
2.       On the "General" tab, click "Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services".
3.       Click OK. Click Restart when you are prompted to restart your computer.

Why reports created in 8.5 and saved in XI.5 are very slow?

Hello,
Here is my problem :
I worked with Crystal Report 8.5 and my reports were speedy.
I saved a report in a new version (Crystal XI.5) and the report generation is very slow.
If i saved the same report (saved in 8.5) in the version XI (not the XI.5) the report is speedy.
If i saved the report from XI.5 to XI there is no change (report slow).
Have you ever seen this problem?
The database used is Advantage Database Server 8.1.0.26
Thanks for the help.
Mickael

Hi Mariusz,
It is expected that the reports will run a bit slow in the newer version as the entire report engine has undergone chnage after version 8.5.
With the new version, the database security has been enforced a lot more as compared to version 8.5. Along with this, the SQL generation process has also undergone change and the SQL which is now generated is much more optimized.
Also, there are a lot of new features in terms of formatting the report, which can cause the delay in showing you the first page of the report. It may not just be the database access that is taking time.
As suggested earlier, if you find the query generated in 8.5 was fetching records faster, you can surely create a command object in XI R2 to check if you get the same speed of data retrival.
Regards,
Abhishek Jain.
