Lightroom does NOT make use of new/fast hardwares!

For those who are considering a new computer here's my experience....
Lightroom 4 does NOT make full use of new/fast CPUs / SSDs!
I’ve been frustrated with Lightroom speed since launch and held on to my “old” Xeon work station for two years…. I recently invested in the latest Intel CPU and IO technology and I'm very disappointed how Lightroom 4 does not make use of it. It's most noticeably sluggish from one photo to the next during editing. This may seem small but when I edits hundreds of images everyday it really slow me down.
See my system specs at very bottom of this post. I don't think there's a bottle neck in performance! I love my new setup and it's a pleasure to use the OS. BUT I'm so disapointed everytime I load up Lightroom. (My typical Lightroom edits are 600-900 sRAW images - I edit down my photos in Photo Mechanic 5! It's just too slow in Lightroom)
Lightroom still take time to load each image when advance from one image to the next (During editing). Isn’t smart enough to cache 100 images in advance let say. (1:1 previews as been created!)
Won’t make use of more than 8GB ram. No matter how big the RAW working set is.
Very slow switching from one working module to another
Lightroom Jpeg export won’t make use of more than 25% of new Intel Xeon E5 series dual processors processing power 12 cores. 6-9 cores are literally taking a nap during export!
I’ve tried everything found in Adobe suggestion link below:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/optimize-performance-lightroom.html
* I definately tried 1:1 render preview and all of the other jazz found in link directly above!
* Running all latest firmwares and updates
I hope the next version of Lightroom will actually make use of good hardware instead of adding on more features. We desperately need a snappy/responsive Lightroom for sake of productivity! I'm not here to put down Adobe. I'm a big fan of Adobe and Intel and have been using them for 15 years.
My Setup:
Dell Workstation T7600
Dual Xeon E5-2630 2.5GHz (12 Cores Total)
64GB 1600Mhz RAM
OCZ RevoDrive 3X2 - 1500MB/s (Boot / Camera Raw Cache)
4 Intel 520 Series SSD in RAID0 with dedicated 1GB Cache SAS/SATA PCIe 3.0 controller (Working RAW files)
Nvidia GTX680 - 4GB VRAM (I know this made for 3D but it has PCIe 3.0 connectivity - Quadro 4000 PCIe 2.0 wasn't any better)
Drobo-S 2GBx5 (Strictly Storage)
Windows 7 Ultimate (Bare minimum! Just Adobe CS6 suite and Microsoft Office 2010)

Can you copy this to the Feature Request forum so we can vote on it please?  http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family  And then post the link here so we can find it.  It'll get my vote.
There are a couple of others you might like to vote on too, such as using the embedded preview for editing down.  http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_capability_to_display_embe dded_preview
In terms of workarounds for now, if you haven't tried the 4.2RC yet, you might find the module switching a bit faster.  And for better use of your exports processing power, try splitting your export into 3 or 4 and running them concurrently (i.e. set the first going, and immediately set the second going, etc.) as that'll make better use of the extra cores if your hard drives are able to keep up with them.

  • Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

    As far as I know, Apple sells no such configuration.  However, under Settings > General > Accessability, there is an option to play back audio in monoural mode, which would then play both halves of a stereo mix in each earbud.
    Hope that helps.

  • Safari 5 - Opening a new tab does not make it active

    In Safari 4 if you open up a new tab, whether or not the "When new tab or window opens, make it active" option is checked, the new tab becomes active. In Safari 5 creating an new tab does not make it active. It doesn't matter what the option mentioned above is checked or not. I have to explicitly click on the tab to bring in in focus. Interestingly, in S5, creating a new window does bring the new window into focus.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    But do you have the same problem as I, i.e. that tabs cannot be opened at all without launching Top Sites when using Saft?
    This problem is much more serious than the non-focus problem. Here's another report of the same issue:

  • AddAnotherRow of Advanced Table, does not make the new row as current row

    Hi OAF Gurus,
    Requirement:
    When user presses 'AddAnotherRow' button on OAAvancedTable, the new row that gets added should become the current row of the underlying VO of the table.
    What’s happening:
    When user presses 'AddAnotherRow' button on OAAvancedTable, the new row is not the current Row(VO’s previous current row retains its current status)
    What I tried by far
    APPROACH #1 - when create row
    In VORowImpl - override create and set this new row as current
    public void create(AttributeList attributeList)
    try
    super.create(attributeList);
    // PSUDO CODE
    am = this.getApplicationModule
    vo = am.findViewObject("OAAdvancedTableVO1");
    vo.setCurrentRow(this) // this should set the new row to current.
    But VO's current row is still the old current row and not this new row.
    APPROACH #2 - when insert Row
    I thought that AddAnotherRow , internally must be doing a create() then an insert() row on the VO, so i overridden the insertRow(row) of the VO
    public void insertRow(Row row)
    super.insertRow(row);
    this.setCurrentRow(row)
    System.out.println("COMMENT insert called .............................................");
    But this method is never called by the framework.
    ***Please help me make the newly created row on the OAAdvancedTable using 'AddAnotherRow' (out of the Box) , as the currentRow of the underlying VO***
    Thanks
    Chaitanya

    Thanks a lot Chris.
    I have used your code and it works perfect.
    Now I am not using the out-of-the-box AddAnotherRow, as it does not make the newly added Row as 'currentRow' of the VO
    I have used the following code by Chris and it solves the issue.
    1. Determine the number of already displayed rows on the table
    OAAdvancedTableBean tableBean = (OAAdvancedTableBean) webBean.findChildRecursive(tableID);
    int rowsDisplayed = tableBean.getNumberOfRowsDisplayed();
    replace tableID with the actual value.
    2. I have the following routine to create the row and set it as the current row.
    OAViewObject viewObject = (OAViewObject) findViewObject(viewObjectName);
    int rowCountInRange = viewObject.getRowCountInRange();
    Row row = viewObject.createRow();
    int insertIndex = rowCountInRange;
    if (rowCountInRange == rowsDisplayed) {
    insertIndex = rowCountInRange - 1;
    viewObject.insertRowAtRangeIndex(insertIndex, row);
    viewObject.setCurrentRow(row);
    Thanks again all of you for help
    Regards

  • IPhone 4 does not make or receive calls/text at a location it used to.HELP!

    I started experiencing this sometime last week. It does not make any sense to me so I ask you. My phone does not make or receive phone calls and texts while I am at my workplace. It had worked find from when I got the phone (Late August) through January. If it stopped working completely I'd figure it was a dead zone or something, although they do not just pop up out of nowhere. But it works sporadically. Like if i got to send a text maybe 1 out of every 4 will work, same with receiving them. And this is the same with phone calls. I will receive a call, get through maybe 15 seconds of it, then the call gets dropped. Then for the remainder of the day (as I do not use it much during work) it will not receive a call, it goes right to voicemail. I have tested this by repeatedly calling my phone from my work landline. It rings fine on that end, so others wouldn't suspect I am having an issue, and goes to voicemail. I left a voicemail and my phone did not alert me to it for over 10 minutes (it never told me I had a missed call) During this timeframe I also attempted to make phone calls from my iPhone, they would not ring, it would immediately drop. But again, it is sporadic. So after 5 or 6 times of attempting making phone calls one goes through. I had made an appointment at the Apple Store the first day that this happened but once I was on the road to the store I got all my texts, voicemails, pictures that I had attempted to send earlier, so I thought it pointless since I had no real proof of this happening. But now it seems to happen everyday, it just happened which prompted me to write this. Again, its only at work, and only recently started happening. There is no cell tower issue, everyone elses phone works here. I have turned off the phone, both a soft and hard reset, reset network setting, turned off/on 3G, Cell Data, taken out the SIM, moved it, etc. Everything short of getting another phone, but it works perfectly fine everywhere else. Any ideas???

    I ended up taking my phone in to the Genius Bar, but we were unable to diagnose the problem. The genius said she had never seen anything like this before. We tried everything to figure out if it was hardware or software related, but never concluded anything. Instead of paying >$150 to fix/replace, I bought the iPhone5. iPhone5 is amazing. Maybe it was fate.

  • Unable to upload files using firefox, be it dropbox, gmail or any other websites where we need to attach files. It does not open up a new window to choose file.

    all of a sudden im unable to attach files in any of the websites. Im using firefox version 30 and when I click to attach file it does not open up a new window where we can choose the file from my computer. It happens almost in all websites that I use (gmail, dropbox, other websites).
    This was not the case before, seem some problem with firefox.. can somebody fix this at the earliest. thanks

    hello Balaatmozilla,
    please check if this problem appears as well when you try to download a file, does this happen again when you try to download a file?
    if so there must be a problem with your HDD controler, to solve this issue follow th steps:
    1.Right Click on My Computer, Select Properties
    2.Click on Device Manager in Top Left corner
    3.expand the IDA/ATI/ATAPI controllers
    4.right click on the one which is related to your HDD
    5.click on Uninstall
    6.Restart
    when you restart your windows the OS will try to install the drivers again, if this happens then restart again and check if the problem is solved, if no try to install the HDD drivers and related drivers manually and then restart your machine

  • Lightroom 5.4 does not open, using windows 7

    lightroom 5.4 does not open, using windows 7. I downloaded the trail and it does not open. I want to buy it, but i am afraid it will not work. I do not get an error code or anything it just will not open.

    Thanks but none of the options in that KB fix the problem.
    The "Exit Code" was 3 rather than "0" and so it doesn't look like the patch will install.  In terms of the third option, I mentioned in my original message that I cannot "Deactivate" my other CS6 programs because that option is grayed out in those programs.  But those programs work just fine (other than Acrobat Pro X) and so I think there may be a bigger problem with all of my Adobe products.

  • Lightroom says that I have the latest version, but Lightroom does not recognize RAW captures from my new Panasonic DMC-GH4. When will an update for this camera be available?

    Lightroom says that I have the latest version, but Lightroom does not recognize RAW captures from my new Panasonic DMC-GH4. When will an update for this camera be available?

    The GH4 must be very new as it’s not listed in Adobe’s supported cameras, so wait until the next version of LR.  Usually there is one every 3-4 months with a release-candidate available at Adobe Labs before that:  http://labs.adobe.com/

  • Lightroom does not detect external hard drive

    I am a newcomer to Lightroom and I'm trying to move my photos (25,000+) from my laptop to external hard drive. I've already copied the catalog over there (following online video tutorial by David Marx). I thought the way to move the actual photos was to drag and drop them using the left panel within Lightroom. But no matter what I do, Lightroom does not show my external hd (LaCie), so I can't drag/drop. Am I right that this is the way to do it?
    Strangely, Lightroom does "see" the LaCie when I open the "Import" function.
    Thanks for any help.
    Dylan

    Is your LaCie formatted? Do you see it in your OS?
    --Yes.
    If yes, try the following:
    In your OS move one folder to your LaCie.
    Open LR. In the folders panel there should be a question mark besides the folder you just moved - at the old location!
    Right-click this folder and point LR to the new location on the LaCie.
    --So far, so good. But now LR sees LaCie as a folder, not a drive. And none of the folders that are already on the LaCie are visible.
    If Lr lets you do this you're fine and from then on you can use the drag-and-drop method within LR.
    Or, alternatively you can move all the other folders in your OS and then point LR to the new location. It might be a bit faster to make the move in your OS.
    --I'm holding off on this step for now...

  • Lightroom does not identify jpg images as duplicates

    I'm using Lightroom 5.3.  I'm importing images to my catalog from one external drive to another using the "copy" function.  I have "do not import suspected duplicates" checked, but Lightroom does not identify duplicate jpg images as such and lists them as new files to import.  If I import these images they show up in my database/catalog with the -2 designation.  The images are identical in filename, capture time, size and EXIF info.  I have tried removing my preferences file and starting another but that doesn't change the behavior.  I have seen other posts with similar issues but cannot find a solution that works for me.  I don't see this listed as a bug either.  If anyone has suggestions for a fix I would appreciate it.  Thank you.

    There is a catalog-specific preference whether to allow LR to adjust date/time values in raw files.  I think that is for LR to add a timezone or not.  Since these are JPGs maybe this setting doesn’t apply, but maybe the JPGs were imported from RAWs that had it set, or maybe the setting does apply to JPGs, now, too.
    It would be worth checking the catalog-specific setting and playing with it to see if you can get the timezone to either exist or not existing for both the images, depending on which one has it, now.
    If your current system timezone is not UTC-7, then it would make sense for LR to interpret the images without a timezone to be in the system timezone and different than the ones that have a timezone associated with them.
    If the pictures were taking across multiple timezones then there probably isn’t’ a good way to get them all to have the corresponding timezone as the other copy you’re trying to import.

    Hello,
    I'm a customer that wanted to bring to your attention the lack of customer service I've received from the Best Buy store at your Tri-County location, here in Ohio.  On the 14th of November, I walked in the store to buy an open box electric stove that was advertised on your website.  Your website clearly stated that one was in stock at the Tri-County location.  I called the store and spoke to a representative prior to my arrival at the store to confirm that this information was accurate and the rep simply told me yes it was, if it says it one the website then to go off of that.  
    So I went to the store to purchase the stove and was unable to find it.  I had several associates help me look for it and nobody could find it and the managers determined that it wasn't in stock.  Since it was a Best Buy mistake, the manager offered to give me the new version of the stove for the same price, which saved me a little money.  As I'm patiently waiting for the final word from one of the managers, I start looking around for other things I may possibly want to buy and I come across an open box french door refrigerator, so I decide to purchase that as well.  Nothing was wrong with it, except for a couple scratches.   Keep in mind that this is nearly a couple weeks before thanksgiving, where I had nearly 30 attendants.  I just bought a dishwasher and microwave from lowes and wanted to have my complete appliance set on display just in time for Thanksgiving.
    When the items arrived at my home, a couple days before Thanksgiving, I was relieved that I received them on time.  For the most part, the delivery crew was acceptable, except for the fact that they broke a light switch on the wall as they were trying to move the refrigerator in it's place.  They told me about it and I told them that that was okay and that I was just happy that I received my appliances.  As anyone else would do, I waited for the fridge to get cold before I put the food back in and when it came time to do so, I noticed that the middle flap between both french doors was broke.  It's a bit deceiving because if you just look at it you can't really tell, but after opening and closing it a couple times, you could easily tell that it was broken.  So I called Best Buy that same day and told them of the problem.  I asked them if they had that part at the store, so I could just come in and get the replacement.  Note, that on the appliance defect report this was not listed, so I'm assuming it was damaged during delivery or was overlooked.  I mentioned this to the manager.  He said, that the item had to be special ordered, so as disappointed as I was that my fridge would not be fully operational for thanksgiving, I said it was okay and he told me that he would call me once it came in.  To give you a better idea of what my family is experiencing, we don't use the left door on the fridge.  
    2 weeks go by and I still haven't received a call, so I decide to call and check in for an update.  An associate tells me that the item just came in yesterday and that he would call me back in a few minutes to schedule a repair.  I don't receive a call that day, so I call best buy back a few days later.  Again, I speak to the same associate and he tells me that the item never came in and that the manager was just going to give me a new fridge instead. So I call your corporate office and speak with an associate and he says that he will get to the bottom of it and help me set up the delivery.  
    Well on the day of the delivery, which was a Saturday, I was told that it would be dropped off sometime between 3 and 5 in the evening, or something in that timeframe.  What do I do?  I empty out my fridge and clear a path for the delivery personnel.  It being a Saturday, I had plans and I haven't received a call from anybody.  So around half past 5, I start putting the items back in the fridge, as well as move the furniture back in place.  Keep in mind, this is no easy task.  I have a 4 bedroom home and a family of 5, so yes, I have a lot of furniture and a fully stocked fridge.  This probably took at least 2 hours to get everything cleared and to put it back in place when I found out they were not showing up.  
    I then get a call at 15 till 6 from the delivery crew telling me that they were on there way. Surprised and irate that they are now calling me, I have to refuse the delivery because we we didn't have time to wait around since we already had plans for the night.  I get another call from a Best Buy associate trying to reschedule and I told them that I've had enough of their dealings and that I would let corporate handle it and through corporate I would see that a proper delivery would then be scheduled.
    Well this morning I saw on my phone that I have several missed calls, as early as 6 in the morning from Best Buy delivery stating that I am suppose to recieve my fridge in the morning and I was there 2nd stop.  I call the guy and tell him that I was unaware of the delivery and that I would give you guys a call today to schedule the appointment.  I intend to call you after I send this email regarding that.  
    So in all, I've probably been on the phone with Best Buy personnel at least 10 times and several hours.  I spoke to several associates, including 3 different managers, 3 different delivery crews, and a rep from your corporate office once.  I think it's safe to say that this has been a total nightmare and saving a couple hundred dollars does not make up for it.  I wanted to reach out to you because as an educated consumer, who also happens to be an elite Best Buy member, I can firmly say that because of this "Nightmare" I will not be buying any more appliances from your store and you would be lucky if I bought anything else from the store.  You do have some pretty good deals on games and movies though, so I may continue to do that.  
    Please take this information and utilize it accordingly, obviously, this is not how business should be ran and I know this isn't the first time something like this has happened.  The exact same thing happend to my friend a few years back from a different store.

    Hello penningtonj, 
    While it's great to hear that you seem to have received new inbox units at open box prices due to your experiences, it certainly sounds like the delivery portion of the experience could have been vastly better for you. 
    I'm glad to hear that the oven is working well for you, and I'm truly sorry to hear of the difficulties you've experienced with the open box refrigerator. Our open box items should be thoroughly inspected and marked accordingly for its condition or any missing parts or accessories. It is disheartening to hear that a damaged part may have gone unnoticed. With that said, it's awesome that the store has offered to replace it. 
    We strive to ensure our deliveries are seamless and hassle-free. Given you have a sizable family, I know emptying a refrigerator is no easy task, as I grew up in family of a similar size, and should the refrigerator have to be emptied for any reason, it was a bit chaotic! It is regrettable to hear that the delivery team was late, and that they failed to contact you sooner to let you know of their delay. Furthermore, it is strange that you may not have been aware of (and thus completely unprepared for) the rescheduled delivery. I can understand how this would be concerning, and further aggravating.
    I sincerely apologize for the continued hassle you've experienced with purchasing these appliances. With that said, it appears that you are currently scheduled for delivery on 1/28/15. You should receive a phone call the night before to provide you with a time frame of when to expect them. If you should have any questions or concerns, please feel welcome to reach out to me! 
    Respectfully,
