I am not a tech savy person and have no idea the inner workings of lightroom and my hardware. I'm at the point that I'm willing to pay someone to help fix my lightroom setup, so I am not wasting hours on it just spinning.
I have a MAC M2 GB 8 latest sonoma 14.5 version. I think 8 RAM, which I know I need more, but even with 8 RAM I feel like I shouldnt have this many problems. I have the latest 13.1 updated version of lightroom classic.
I only have about 2,000 photos uploaded to lightroom classic and 170 gb of storage being used. A few days ago my storage was not this full, so I am not sure what happened. I uploaded to sessions and since then I keep recieveing errors that there is not enough storage and wants to close LRC. Regardless even when I had storage space Lightroom was incredibly slow. Any slight changes I made would take 30 seconds just to process. It gets progressively worse as I keep working on a session. Multiple times while working in lightroom it stops responding and needs restarted. I did speak with an adobe representative after about an hour I think he basically gave up. He had me create a new catalog and I was able to upload and edit one or two photos extremely quickly, but once I applied any presets or masks and moved photos to that new catalog Lightroom was slow once again.
The biggest issue is the optimizing the storage space, so I can actually try to work without it telling me I need more space. I have tried almost all the tricks that these forums and youtube have said, I am sure theres more that I can do. So, any tips or people to direct me to on how to setup my storage space/get LRC to run quicker would be great! I am willing to pay someone to even help me!
