    Hi, ​@Precious_Songbird5C7D, interesting question. 

    Having used LRC since it came out, my gut feeling is probably not. I’ve always considered these as “me” times. That is, time to get a cup of coffee, check email, or anything that can pull be away from the computer for the few minutes that processes like this can take place. Remember, a watch pot never boils. So, the more you watch the process, the longer (it seems) to take.

    On the other hand, if you want to load up your card with a bunch of irrelavant photos that you can afford to lose if this doesn’t work, and see what happens, let us know.

    Good luck!
