Question

(Windows) Takes 1 Minute or more to move between images

Since upgrading to Lightroom Classic 13.3, the performance has become extremely slow.
Various operations have become very slow; for example, it takes about a minute to move to the Develop module or to move between images in the Develop module.
There were no issues when using Lightroom Classic 13.2.
Is there anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

I have about 200,000 images in my catalog, so that might be one of the reasons, but since it was working fine with version 13.2, I suspect that there might be some degradation associated with upgrading to 13.3.

Since updating to 13.3 my catalog has also become unbearably slow when the version right before was not an issue.  I even after the catalog was updated ran the optimization, cleared the cache and rebuilt 1:1 previews and made sure my GPU drivers are the latest and settings optimized on my 3090.  The system resources are not being taxed either so rolling back to the last version but wanted to add my name to the list for slow performance on the latest update.

+1 - same here. 

Windows11, high-end GPU, 64-gb ram, both O/S and Graphics drivers completely updated.

Lightroom 13.3 is probably the WORST upgrade I've had from Adobe. Since 1994. It's horribly slow and painful. (And Lightroom's slowness was already the main complaint I had coming over from ACDSee years ago.)

 

This is a black-eye Adobe. I work in SW; and in my teams whoever manages QA or Acceptance Testing on this project would be fired. Going back is nearly impossible and also tons of work. I hope this gets resolved as the top-priority within the SW group responsible for these products.

My lightroom is doing the same thing! It's using up crazy amounts of Ram and I can't even have google chome and lightroom classic running at the same time without having to quit something. I have an M1 MacBook Air. ADOBE PLEASE FIX THIS I HAVE WORK I NEED TO COMPLETE.

Have exactly the same issues! Tried everything I could find in the settings to try and fasten it up but doesn't help...

And we can't downgrade to the previous working version because the Lrc library file is not compatible anymore. Ugh. It's a trap!

I'm having the same issue with 13.3. 

Super slow! I've optimized and updated everything on my PC. But still Lightroom is slow. What used to take 1.5 hours now takes 4-6 hours. And it's been syncing images to the cloud for almost 4 days straight and still hasn't finished.  I also tried uninstalling LRc completely and reinstalling...But same problems. 

 

What's even weirder... When I check the CPU usage, I've got about 3 or 4 cores (out of 16) running. And CPU usage never goes above 20%, usually hovering around 6%. And GPU is like 1%-3%. So it's not even utilizing my PC very well. 

 

Adobe! Please fix this quickly. I have deadlines. I also have too many collegues pressuring me to switch to Capture One. This doesn't help.

Two inquirys/observations

 

1. Is LrC, without your telling it to do sso, just Busy Busy Busy, syncing to the Cloud? I am not a cloud sync user, so I do not have this issue. Apparently the new SYNC in v13.3 is a huge bug, As in Adobe realy blew it this time.

 

2. You GPU driver:

 

Graphics Processor Info: 
DirectX: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti (31.0.15.3203)
Init State: GPU for Export supported by default
User Preference: GPU for Export enabled

 

So, v532.03 , released May 18, 2023. a bit old. Ancient for LrC. At NVIDIA the current Studio driver is shown as v555.85 released May 21, 2024

By far the worst performance hit I have seen.  I was already dealing with unresolved sync issues for the previous two weeks when I was told to wait for the update which would correct those.  The update to 13.3 not only didn't correct the sync issues, but now my workflow has come to a standstill.  I think culled about 300 images last night which took more than an hour.  Every picked photo took 10-15 seconds to update and I noticed edits updating and reverting back to previous settings.  I can say with certainty this is not a video driver update issue.

LrC 13.3 CR 16.13
Same serious performance issues here.
Simple switching from Grid view to Develope can take a couple of seconds. Making adjustments takes a while too.
All this with Cataloges Optimized, Cache space available, latest nvidia drivers installed and so on.
Interestingly enough it wasn't so slow while working on a different folder the other day. Is it because I didn't use Lens Blur or because there were 300 photos instead of 700?

I look forward to the next Lightroom Classic Beta update with the performance improved.

I am experiencing the same problem. Painfully slow, especially when using masks. Together with the map search/ map module problem, I think I have to go back to the previous version. I can't wait another month for the next version, when these problems might be fixed (or not).

I rolled back to version LR 13.2
Problems are gone now. I will wait for an update (or C1 or PL7...)

How do you rollback?

Participant

Having the same problems - I am trying to get work out to clients and the software is causing deep frustration.  Just trying a fresh re-install and if that doesn't work I may just wash my hands of it after being a customer since before Adobe bought it out (I can't recall the old name now!).

DXO is looking tempting if this isn't sorted pronto!

Did Lightroom start to work better after reinstalling? I have severe issues on my M1 Max Macbook. In the past I fixed a similar issue by removing everything and reinstalling, but I have limited time at the moment.

I did a full re-install but still unusable slow. Only thing that helped was rolling back to 13.2.
