          I'm delighted to say that the LR Classic update to include the new OM-5 Mark 2 has landed today. And the quality if the images is stunning - noticeably better than the DNG files from Camera Raw that I was using whilst waiting for this. Happy camper.

            Thanks. New GPU. Is this for Library or Develop previews or both?

            Develop doesn't use previews so it will be for the library. Be interesting to see if it's now faster than sidecar & embedded on import.

              On a Mac Develop caches previews in the User - Library - Cases - Adobe Camera RAW 2. Not sure where they are cached in Windows. You can control cache size and purging Preferences - Performance. You can also delete that file and LrC/ACR will just rebild it. Dvelop Previews are already pertty fast and I figured this update was for the Library but I thought I'd ask anyway.  Some people do complain about how long it takes to scroll through files in the Develop module but that like anything else is system dependant.
