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)

32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3

AMD FirePro D700 6 GB

Thank you, My screens are set that way as well and it makes a lot of sense. Let me give it a try.

Hello all,

I just stumbled upon what in hindsight is a rather obvious work-around for all those running dual-display setups and who (like me) are using the secondary display primarily for grid-view. If you set the profile of the secondary display to sRGB and set the primary display that you use for editing to use your custom profile, you can browse your catalog fluidly on your secondary display while performing color-critical work on your primary display. That's what I'll be doing until Adobe comes up with a fix...

HTH,

Ron

Edit: now I can turn on extras and badges again in grid view - yay! 🙂

Also reinstalled Mac OS, Adobe suits including LR on a new internal SSD (changing to Solid State Disk) hoping LR runs better but it wasn´t helpful

I would say it´s a software´s update bug

I hope a new fixed update so so soon

If you lower it does it help the issue?

Ah, now your rubbish responses make sense as you are a student of superstition.

I did all the standard stuff i.e. update everything, cleared cache, increase storage, deleted programs that may be causing a conflict, etc. I've come down to what you may be referring to. IF I open lightroom and only use lightroom features it will be slow but usable. Where it breaks, down for me, is if I involve, another program, including but not limited to photoshop that everything starts to deteriorate rapidly. Example I can send an image to Topaz and receive no image message, then all of a sudden image shows and I can use topaz (but sometimes not so I spend minutes looking at a blank screen waiting to see what it is going to do) but not send image back, I can send the image to desktop and then send it back to LR and continue to work. So one might conclude well Topaz has a problem. Thing is, the same occurs if I send from lightroom to photoshop for editing. IT may or may not work. It appears that every action taken exacerbates the previous problem until it's like your playing with a tangled ball of yarn and even brushes won't work, the only way out is to shut down. Unfortunately when this is happening it appears everything else on my computer starts acting up. Again, shut down and reboot. I can  not get through 10 photos, at most, before throwing my hands up. Lightroom is short circuiting for lack of a better term. I was about to buy new ram and a another hard drive but I am see that is not going to be the solution. The problem is the program. I love LR as well. But if I can't use it?

Hi all,

Similar issue for me on v10 with two main drivers (9.4 was fine):

- UI very slow, typically scrolling down library and panels is barely usable. As if it was hard to access the database (thumbnails pixellised sometimes, even if already built)

- Power consumption & fan usage increased a lot (actually fan is now used systematically on library with limited/no action - was not the case earlier - not normal)

Standard MacBook Pro 16'' config with no external monitor: 16'' at higher res (low scale), i9 2.3 Ghz, 32Gb ram, Radeon 5500M 8Gb, SSD 2Tb

The workaround linked to profile did not work. I cannot unfortunately move back to 9.4 as I  performed a lot of classification in between (painfully !!)

Please help 🙂

Kind regards

Julien
