P: Add the possibility to disable full image preset preview

In the latest update, full image preview has been added when hovering presets.
While this is fantastic and really useful most of the time, when handling large files like stitched panoramas, my computer crawls to a stop as my 7700K is maxed out for each preset.
Could it be possible to disable that in the settings for such case ?
Thanks

I’m fine with on-by-default, as long as we can turn it off. A simple check box in preferences would be fine.

That said, I really like the idea of having an icon toggle at the top of the preset list next to the plus symbol. I’m sure it would be nice to use this occasionally, and a toggle would make that easy.

just create an eye-symbol next to the plus-symbol in presetpanel to activate or deactivate the big preview

Rikk I prefer with a key held down. This allows users who have the slow preset preview issue to navigate to a specific preset and then hold down a key to preview it. A small delay reviewing specific presets should be more tolerable.

I'd say OFF by default, but I'm really so desperate for this to happen that I'd vote for a 'which ever is quicker for the dev team to roll out' option.

Well said Richard !

Yes great idea, to have an option, personally it would be better to use while holding a key down rather just off or on.

We must be one of the few that don't have problems with this, have a 200k  library of images many  and lots of presets loaded, the only problem come across so far thats affected our work flow was the crop tool showing the previous image turning off the Graphic processor has sorted this until you get a fix.  

Info if it helps running an older  Mac Pro 3.2 Quad-core Xeon 24GB Mem L/R is running on an SSD drive, graphics ATI Radeon HD 5770 with a mega 1024mb    OS High Sierra

Unless this can be programmed to be much faster, I would vote for OFF by default. I would also suggest that Adobe should strongly consider “recalibration” of the manager who made the decision to release this version in its current state.

Off by default. Also at this point, it would nice to know when this is fixed as most will be using 7.2 until it is.

I'm also in the Off by default camp. As mentioned in a previous post it would be nice if you could activate the full size preview only by holding down a button (like CMD or ALT) while hovering over the preset. 

Also, I can't be 100% certain now as I have reverted back to 7.2 but am I correct in remembering that the preset preview was being shown as the first step in modifying a RAW file and not taking into account any previous changes? If that is the case (and I'm sure it was) then that's problematic in its own right. I'm sure many of us apply presets sequentially so if you are looking at a preview of a preset that doesn't take into account any previous modifications then it's pretty pointless as a feature.

Speaking only for myself, I would prefer off by default but I understand this may be a highly requested feature for others (those with super high powered computers and few presets, perhaps), so on by default is fine as long as it can be disabled if desired!
