I used to do picture culling in Lightroom Classic, however, under my laptop environment when large batch is processed it pretty slow. I moved to Bridge and found that Bridge has better performance. In the culling process, I just want to quickly browse through my folders of photos (over ten/twenty thousands in day) and mark my rating/color label.
Although Bridge is relatively faster than LRC, I still experienced slowness and frozen screen ocassionally. Sometimes, I saw the status bar showed that the image is being updated for high quality. Since I just want to get a feel of the pictures then rate them, I do not need all the details in this stage. (My plan is after culling I shall move the picked pictures to Lightroom.) Speedy culling is my priority, and I don't want to wait for its update for quality display at all.
I searched through Edit > Preferences, and I did not seem to locate a way to control the quality of the preview images and thumbnails.
May I know if there is a way to control the quality of thumbnails and previewing images?
(2) I am a Canon user and have installed its DPP. DPP enables users to display RAW and JPG as one thumbnail if they are both stored in the same folder. With this feature on, I don't have to move the files in two folders so that I can do culling by focusing on the JPG files and write a script to copy the same named RAW files into Lightroom.
Is there a way for Bridge (& LRC) to display R+J as one thumbnail? (I have both Canon and Sony cameras, so CR2/CR3 and ARW format support are needed.)
Or, Do you suggest a workflow which I currently suffered, as (1) split the J and R into two folders, (2) do culling on the J (as it is faster than R), (3) use a DOS batch job to identify the R version of picked J files and move them into a folder, and (4) import the picked R files into Lightroom.
