Disable full image presets in latest update

Hi everyone,

I just installed the new update and while I appreciate most of it, there is a gigantic issue with presets now: whenever you hover one preset, it not only previews in the "preview" image in the top left corner but also in the full image, which is fine... unless you're editing a stitched panorama over 200 MB when the computer crawls to a stop.

I don't have a bad computer in my opinion, with a 7700K and enough RAM and disk space to handle it, but this is just unbearable now.

Is there any way to disable the full image preview in the settings ?

This is possible by turning off the setting for "enable hover preview of presets in Loupe" in the Performance tab of the Lightroom Preferences!

Yes, this has been added in the latest release.

The preset preview can be useful and save time; however, the hover needs to be adjusted. Perhaps if the icon to the left of each preset description was the only active area to trigger the preview it might be more effective. As it stands with 7.3.1, using a stylus, it's almost impossible to select one preset and move the tip/mouse away without triggering the preset preview above or below. And then as you move your stylus or mouse to the right side of the develop module, the unwanted preview sticks and takes too long to get back the preset initially selected. Very frustrating.

Can someone please point me to where I can find this lua script and how to use it ?

The automatic live preview of the presets in the full image has taken its toll on my nerves.

Normal working is not possible anymore.

Please either Adobe fix this right away and include an option somewhere to toggle the behavior on and off.

Or some nice user here please send me some info on how to fix this with a lua script or whatever.

At least the Adobe staff should not have remove the critical portion from this thread, at least other users are fixing the stuff which adobe is no able to do...

Many many thanks in advance to anyone who can help me...

Adobe staff didn't remove it. The lua file, which is unsupported, was removed by the individual who shared it without authorisation. Sorry, that we cannot be more helpful at this time.

Please ensure that your Adobe account is set up to allow Personal Messages or includes your email address as this is the route that Adobe can contact those whom they may wish to investigate this issue with in future.

It can be turned off as follows:

I have removed this content - It is not an officially released and supported procedure to change this behavior in LR.

Adobe is aware of this and is working on a solution.

Is this only for Windows? I cannot see where you would put that file in macOS. I tried it anyway and it hasn't changed anything.

Same procedure: Open the presets location ...

Here's a listing with all folders and their equivalent: Preference file and other file locations | Lightroom Classic CC and Lightroom 6

Adding the option to disable this feature would be great. I have a reasonably new and powerful iMac but this feature makes my editing incredibly sluggish. I'm sure it wouldn't be so annoying if I was only editing a couple of photos casually, but I'm working through thousands of photos on a daily basis and it's really slowing me down.

I agree, this is a feature that you should be able to disable. It is very dstracting to have the whole image flash into different presets when moving the cursor around. It freaks me out and is VERY distracting. I like to see what my presets do to the image right when I click on them, not when I hover over them.

PLEASE LET US DECIDE if we want this or not Adobe.

Many thanks,

Houston

This has to be the dumbest implementation of a software "feature" that I have ever seen from Adobe. That you can't switch it off and that it literally cripples your workflow indicates to me that nobody at Adobe actually uses Lightroom the way their customers do.

Come on, this is urgent. Turn that nonsense off, please. I've had to revert to an older version to actually get any work done.

This creates a tremendous lag for me, if my mouse goes anywhere near a preset it changes the main image and then takes about a second or two to change back. I've even had to click away from the photo to get back and see what preset I've actually applied. This is really slowing me down, and desperately needs an on/off toggle switch. I get that people would have requested it, but implementing it for everyone and not telling us how to turn it off is really annoying.

Closing the navigator preview, and reduce the size of the window helps a bit. I agree that this is really ANNOYING worthless feature.

I understand that this is a long standing feature request, but did you guys even do a performance test beforehand on common machine spec?

This is insane, I basically cannot have my preset folders open. The "preview when hovering" was always only in the Navigator window, never applied to the full edit picture. I have no choice but to downgrade to 7.2. This sucks because other parts of the application seemed more responsive but it's ultimately unusable right now.

I agree. The current implementation is an absolutely terrible UX. Trying to compare profiles is almost impossible since the image updates on hover.

Adobe, please give us the option to not preview unless clicked. Thanks.

Nope!

However, if you believe it's needed then please submit a feature request at Lightroom Classic CC | Photoshop Family Customer Community

I cannot believe this hasn't been thought about.

And I imagine, with the updates of the presets to another format, I can't go back to 7.2 ?

Sure you can go back. The new converted presets are copies. Your old presets are still in their old location.
