Hi,

Lightroom was runing perfect. It was basic version installed from CD (6.0 or sth like that). I have updated it to 6.8 and after that is unusable slow. In library some catalogues have no number of pictures only 3 dots (...) it takes very long to calculate this count and load images ("loading..."). In develop it takes very long like few minutes to load picture. After picture is loaded lightroom works ok for a moment, i can load other images quickly. But after minute or two it slows down again and cannot load any picture. Whith this update to 6.8 some settings was changed and it stop working. Switching off GPU acceleration dosnt help. it is windows 10 laptop with ssd, pictures are on external drive. CPU and RAM usage during loading is at constant low level (30% and 50%). It was working very smooth just before update.

How to fix this?

I guess you tried to «optimize» the catalog?

(file - optimize catalog) (so shown on a Mac)

Kind regards

I know you have to ask that Daniel, and I appreciate you are trying to help, and I really really don't want to come across offensive....BUT, to be quite honest I for one have kinda had enough of being asked if I have optimized the catalog.

the original poster has already stated that rolling back to LR6 fixes the issue, updating to latest kills performance, so not really an optimize issue.

there are serious performance issues in the last few iterations of LR and users - those paying for it - would like a little input from Adobe.
