Question

Why Camera RAW works a lot faster than Lightroom?

When I compare the performance of camera raw and lightroom doing the same things over the same image the difference is so clear in almost all the aspects... how I can resolve this or why Adobe don't do anything with this old problem of lightroom?

    Thanks but the link refer only to Photoshop, not lightroom, I mean that the same image works good in camera raw, but the same image opened in ligthroom is other experience.... slow

    My workstation configuration is:

    • Xeón procesor (24 cores)
    • 64GB DDR4 RAM
    • Nvidia Quadro K4000 Graphic Card
    • M.2 Disk for OS (Windows 10)
    • SSD for scratch disk
    • SSD for Ligthroom Catalog
    • SSD + Hybrid disk (Tiered) for RAW Images
    • Camera: Fujifilm XT3/XPro2

    I'm afraid "slow" doesn't really describe anything. I'm using an old HP Pavilion computer with 8 GB RAM, Windows 10, Lightroom Classic CC 8.2, Photoshop CC 2019/Camera Raw 11.1. Nothing at all spectacular about my computer, no graphics card, just onboard graphics. I would rather use Lightroom any day. I have no performance problems at all with it.
