P: Slow UI when using Mac and Custom Display Profile

[adamcrowe]

Hello,

Since upgrading to Lightroom Classic v10.0, all UI-related functionality is painfully slow. All editing functions are working correctly and quickly but scrolling through the catalogue or even scrolling a side panel is taking many long seconds to refresh. Unreasonably long.

Disabling GPU Accellaration has no affect on my Lightroom's performance.

macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Mac Pro (Late 2013)

3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5

32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3

AMD FirePro D700 6 GB

It's not just slow. The masking has issues. Check it out. Would recommend reverting to V9 for now.

Got a new iMac a week ago. LR 9 was fine and then I upgraded to LR 10. Made my new iMac look like an old PC-XT 🙂

@brian_corrigan_7501389 What OS supports this, Mojave does not.

[casperghst42]

@DYP actually it runs just fine on Mojave - please provide a link to Adobe documentation which states that it does not.

[Was DYP]

I run Mojave and version 10 does not run fine on that OS.

The same slowness that is being reported but I did notice the turning off Use Graphics Processor does make it run faster.

I have the same problem with LR 10.0! Each click needs 1-2 seconds until I can see a reaction. With LR classic 9.4 I did'nt have any problem! It's impossible to work with the new release. I hope, there will be a solution quickley – thank you!

[BPC Photo]

@DYP, are you asking what OS supports the ability to"Open in Low resolution?"  I am on Catalina and that option is available.  I'm not sure if that option exists in Mojave.  I have also turned off the Graphics Processor option within LRC v10, and it seems to help with general slowness.....for me.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I too would like to revert back to v. 9 - major delays, barely usable!

Culling images in this LR 10 update is a pain. Having a camera tethered to it with active tethering connection makes it even slow. A pain for all in studio image culling with clients. Loupe view is even way slower than viewing single images in survey mode.Please get this sorted FAST!

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Yes, "Open in Low Resolution" has been around for many Mac OS's. As I remind Mac Users, have you RUN ONYX and FIXED DIRECTORY DAMAGE with Disk Utility, like I suggested earlier in this thread? If not, please do this before posting again?

[Was DYP]

"Open in Low Resolution" is not available in Mojave. If it is then it is some where other than in Get Info. Or, maybe on certain hardware configurations.

Same problem for me since v10. The library module and generally navigating the catalog is almost unworkable running on Mojave, everything on SSDs, 16GB RAM, 12 cores. Was totally fine on v9. Contacted support and they asked me to import some images into a brand new catalog, same problem, even with just a few images catalog is extremely slow/laggy.

[mk29376512]

I tried Onyx when I first had this problem, it made no difference. V9 worked great, v10 now has an extremely laggy and slow (almost unusable) catalog/library interface. It's clearly a software issue.

[mk29376512]

To add I can confirm that (after trying what someone mentioned earlier) resizing the Mojave Lightroom window to make it smaller (like half the size) makes it run much quicker in the Library module, otherwise I get 1-2 seconds lag between each image click, and scrolling is very laggy and jerky.  Hope this helps your engineers in fixing the issue.

I have the same problem with LR 10.0. Each click needs 1-2 seconds until I can see a reaction and the pictures don't load immidiate and first have a grain overall the image. With LR classic 9.4 I did'nt have any problems too! It's impossible to work with the new release and culling and organizing pictures is a pain. I hope too, there will be a solution soon. Thank you!

[DanielSroka]

I am also experiencing this after upgrading. Specifically, LRC10 is experiencing a delay when switching between photos in the Library Loupe view.

It appears tied to the zoom level:

• When the zoom is set to 100% or greater, the performance is normal.
• But when zoom is below 100% (whether a preset value like 50%, Fit, Fill, or a custom value like 71.2%), it takes 3-5 seconds to switch between photos, and the spinning beachball appears.

Other notes:

• Slow down (with beachball) also happens when shift- or command- selecting multiple thumbnails in the Filmstrip
• This issue happens with files that LR9 handled nearly instantaneously, and that are pre-rendered 1:1 previews.
• Other parts of the UI (dragging sliders in Develop) are not impacted.
• I do have an older, but still supported, video card. Changing the "Use Graphics Processor" (Preferences >  Performance) setting from the default Auto to either Off or Custom doesn't resolve this.

 Thank you.

I am also experiencing the slow scrolling issue after upgrading to LR 10. I am on a maxed out 2020 iMac with Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16GB. It is slow and painful to navigate through my catalogs this way. Downgrading to 9.x until this gets sorted out.

[mk29376512]

Also enabling or disabling GPU acceleration makes no difference

Terribly slow UI throughout.  Scrolling grid view in Library is painful.

When you stop scrolling takes a few seconds to update the shooting info displayed around the thumbnails.  

Basically doing anything is just laggy.  Opening the paint brush for keyboarding...slow. On and on.

I'll be rolling back to 9.4 before my next shoot unless new version is out.

I know this thread is for LR10 and I posted my experience above, I wrote that on my PC it works ok but on MBP it's unusable. So today I tried to edit one photo (24Mpx) in Photoshop on my beefy PC and it was horrible. In a very basic document with few layers, I couldn't even brush one layer mask without stuttering. On the same machine, I edited lots of complex files without any problems. Something is wrong with this update 😕

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I'm running almost exactly the same setup except for 64GB 1866 MHz DDR3. LR10 became unusable. I tried all of the suggestions from the Facebook Lightroom User Group and then some to no avail. I finally threw in the towel and uninstalled 10.0, reinstalled 9.4 and brought LR back to life. I really can't understand how PremierePro, Photoshop and all of the other Adobe CC apps are just fine but Light Room slowed down at least 40%.

LrC10 does not run fine on Mojave nor Catalina as I have machines running both.

There is no option to run in Low Res Mode via Get Info on Mojave for the LrC app.

I haven't checked on Catalina but that isn't my computer I normally use Lr on so I really don't care if it has it or not.

And no I'm not going to run Onyx as that will do nothing to help with this.  Going back to 9.4 fixes everything.  10.0 is broken on MacOS and needs to be fixed.
