For what it's worth, I had to go back to 13.3.0 becuase even my 16 inch M2 Max full spec macbook was a jittery mess on 13.3.1.

Hi everyone,

 

Same things here, 13.3 is too buggy.

 

Right click sometime stops working.

It takes 30 seconds for a star rating or rejected flag to be applied.

Synchronisation takes ages, 10 by 10 images.

 

All started with 13.3 release, and now that I have added too many images to my catalog, i cannot rollback to previous one 😞

 

Please release a fix

If you have not made any edits to your images that use features in version
13.3, you can do what I did, install version 13.0 of Lightroom, this
resolved my issues with the progarm.

What features of LrC are you looking for in an alternative?

I'm looking for a program than will not constantly crash. I've looked at
other programs, however they have a steep learning curve.

If running a virus checker, then make sure that you have exxcluded the LrC catalog, previews, etc.

The majority of issues people are having with LrC are GPU related, and reinstalling rarely fixes anything.

What exactly are we to look for involving the GPU?
