P: Slow UI when using Mac and Custom Display Profile

Hello,

 

Since upgrading to Lightroom Classic v10.0, all UI-related functionality is painfully slow. All editing functions are working correctly and quickly but scrolling through the catalogue or even scrolling a side panel is taking many long seconds to refresh. Unreasonably long.

 

Disabling GPU Accellaration has no affect on my Lightroom's performance.

 

macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Mac Pro (Late 2013)

3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5

32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3

AMD FirePro D700 6 GB

LOL
Is a Mathematics PhD enough in your opinion?

For sure mechanics, hydraulics, photonics, molecular modelization, or flybywire softwares are a piece of cake in comparison with photo editing.

Sorry, I have to go out to ROFL for an hour or more as I do not want to wake up my wife. And  I will stop feeding the troll.

Photo editing is a couple orders of magnitude more complex than your software

And the kinds of images (raw or otherwise) bit depth, metadata read (or not), the degree of GPU acceleration and the number of GPU's out there etc. Indeed, there's no comparison and his software wasn't bug free either. This 'debate' is silly and serves zero purpose here in terms of one bug, few are finding, that is going to get fixed.

Just look at all the problems folks are having with different monitor calibrations from different calibrators. Some work, others don't. The same calibration works on one machine but not on another; with one monitor but not another. RGB ok on one but another needs sRGB. 

 

Photo editing is a couple orders of magnitude more complex than your software, talk to a mathematician just about noise reduction as an example. Sorry but you just don't get complexity, not your fault, most people don't.

I gave you some hints on how to go from millions of configurations to a few hundreds to be modelized and simulated. I will not blame Adobe not to do this kind of things, they to not have the skills to do it.

But, please, explain me the thousands of Mac base configurations, when OS is known and fixed on all of them, when hardware is known and fixed on Mac Mini, iMac and Mac Books, where no hardware upgrade is possible.

You speak about screens? The issue concerns the UI.
Monitor? Same
Calibration: changing it does not solve anything?


Kind regards

You're not even 1/1000th of  the Mac variety. Just think of the thousands of Mac base configurations, plus thousands of different monitors, thousands of different monitor calibrations, tens of thousands of different external devices... 

You're still a row boat compared to an aircraft carrier. 

 

You remind me of a bank I was visiting in my consulting days who thought they had the most complex banking software environment in the country with 750 thousand lines of application code. I mentioned that another large bank had 15 million lines of code in just one application and was approaching a billion lines overall.

Hundreds were the number of configurations to be tested after modelization and some other approaches as Monte Carlo or Agents methods.

The workstations at that time were IBM, SUN, HP, SGI, etc, with different OS, different level of OS, 32 or 64 bits, different compilers even on same model at different customers', different memories, different I/O systems, etc
All this seem at least equivalent to Apple Mac configurations.

'desc'

I did select Andrew's profile with the unicode name and there was a difference. Might be triggering something or might be wishful thinking on my part. Others need to try it.

What profiling software did you use to make your profile?

NEC Spectraview.
