Question

Lightroom Classic 11.1 Develop Module very slow

Mac M1 with 8GB RAM: Lightroom classic 11 was very fast. In 11.1 after few photos developed I can claerly see a performance degradation. 

I think there should be some kind of memory leaks, because Lightrrom occupy more than 7GB of memory

Am I the only one?

Thanks so much for this! I have the exact same problem on my M1 Mac 8GB, and solved it by reverting to 11.0.1

Performance degradation for what actions in the Develop Module? Please be specific.

For everything, also the scrolling of the right area where are located adjustment tools. There are lags everywhere. 
If I close Lightroom and open again it works well for about 10-15 images and than slow down again and it's very slow after 70-100 images. It's very strange because the version 11.0 was very very fast, but the 11.1 has this problem on both my Mac mini M1 and MacBook Air M1

 

Thanks!

Not sure why, but some customers have found that reverting to 11.0.1 helped. You can do this from within the Creative Cloud app by clicking on the three-dots menus on right side of Apps panel, theh choosing Other Versions. This will open a list of previous versions from which can choose the version that you want to revert to. I suggest 11.0.1 rather than 11.0 though as the former includes some important bug fixes. I've attached a screenshot as an aide.

 


Thanks a lot Ian!
Yes it works! Reverting to 11.0.1 solved the problem! Let's hope adobe will fix it in the next release 🙂
