Question

just moved my photos to EHD -- LR now painfully slow

Hi all. Moving my raw files to an external hard drive seemed prudent for lots of reasons, but now LR in develop mode is crazy slow.

Did I do something wrong?

Thanks,

Andy

Lightroom version CC 2015.7.

Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.5.

As far as what's slow in develop...everything? I hit a preset and it takes several seconds for the preset to take hold. Or I slide the tint slider and the adjustment doesn't show up on screen for several seconds. Those are just two examples.

What functions/tasks in the develop module are slow? Please be very detailed in your answer.

Please state the exact version NUMBER of your Lightroom. Go to Help->System Info and state the version number of Lightroom shown there.

Please state the exact version NUMBER of your operating system.

Please describe the exact sequence of steps you followed to move the photos to the external HD.

Go to Preferences, click on the Performance tab, and then uncheck the box. Is the problem gone or improved?
