P: Slow UI when using Mac and Custom Display Profile

Hi Carlos,

Thank you for your post. I did as you said but unfortunately it didn’t work for me.

Does anyone know if OS 11.3 fixes these issues?

@nick_church_hbl0zc9vlqwo3 See my post right above yours, and follow the advice. It's your MacOS that's the problem, not LrC.

@nick_church_hbl0zc9vlqwo3 

I contacted Adobe 4 times and they claim to know nothing about this issue.

It's amazing. How comes that people at the help desk is not informed on pending issues (even if allegedly solved now) ?

This is a 6 months / 243 messages / 9.2 k views thread. It should ring some bells at the help desk. Or maybe this department has been meanwhile delocalized to the moon, or even beyond…

@nick_church_hbl0zc9vlqwo3 Firstly, try with the sRGB display profile and see if it is the same problem. The problem was pretty much related to the UI responsiveness in the library module (scrolling in a grid view, etc.) and not the develop module.  If it's not this problem then there is little value trying to get help with it in this thread. 

BTW, the current ICC profiles fix doesn't extend to *publish services* (normal library folders and collections are fixed). 

I have a late 2020 iMac, upgrade to the max on ram, GPU and CPU. 

LR Classic is laggy and horrible to use. Local adjustments are unusable. 

I contacted Adobe 4 times and they claim to know nothing about this issue. Then I saw this thread so know that’s not correct. 

sadly 10.2 does not fix it for me. I’m at my wits end, as a pro photographer I need to get this working as I can’t edit shoots.

Any suggestions? I have tried everything I think apart from 1) the colour profiles and downgrading to 9.x. 

neither of these are acceptable as I have a v10 catalog and also need calibrated displays. 

Any help hugely appreciated.

Thank you,

I never tested OnyX before but probably will give it a try.

I’ll let you know if I need some help.

General Mac issues may sometimes be solved by running Onyx, something you should do regularly, and it doesn't hurt! Also checking your directory damage with Disk Utility (Alsoft is working on a version of Disk Warrior for APFS volumes).

Try Onyx to rule out a corrupt cache or application state, instructions below (I was a Mac IT pro for 25 years). I've fixed app issues hundreds of times with it! Download the free Onyx (https://www.titanium-software.fr/en/onyx.html), select the Onyx version FOR YOUR OS, download, run it, reboot.

In Onyx run almost everything in the Maintenance tab, deselecting things you may not want deleted, like Launch Services. Hit the "Options" button across from "Internet" and check/deselect more stuff like Cookies & Other Site Data, Browser History, Form Values, (which are OFF by default), but make any other choices you want to keep. Don’t know what something is? Google it, or ask me, or don’t run it, then hit Run Tasks. After it's done it will ask for a reboot. You will see you've gained some hard drive space.

Also try to fix any directory damage by running Disk First Aid from Disk Utility: boot into Recovery Mode, (hold down Command-R when booting). When you're in Recovery Mode go to the Utilities menu and launch Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD (or whatever), and say Repair Disk. When done go to Apple Menu for Startup disk and restart normally.

Ok, thanks, no problem. I just wanted to ask you something about the update of your monitor profile but now it doesn't matter. Sorry that it's not working for you.

It sounds like there is maybe something else that was not adressed in the LrC update. But as far as I'm concerned, it's working good so far.

Hi,

I’m sorry, I was too optimist, my post was inaccurate and I decided to remove it thinking no one has saw.

I was wrong… sorry.

After 30 minutes editing on the same catalog the problem came back.

It’s painful, after a few minutes editing I need to restart Lr to make it work for a few minutes more.

Hope a fix is coming very soon!

My post was:

Just to share my experience:

iMac Pro (2017)

2,3 GHz 18-Core Intel Xeon W

64 GB 2666 MHz DDR4

Radeon Pro Vega 64 16 GB

Lr Classic 10.2

(Mac OS Catalina)

A few days ago I was working on catalog whit 35.000+ images and the UI started to lag;

If I close Lr or restart the iMac, at the beginning it worked normal for some minutes, and then started lagging again to a point that was impossible to work

I also noted that the finder and other apps were also afected.

I checked the processes and memory on Activity Monitor and iStat and found nothing unusual.

Then I read something about the monitors profile in this forum and decided to recalibrate my displays that where outdated for 2 days.

After updating the monitor profiles everything went back to normal.

Thank you.
