After update Lightroom is incredible slowly during sinc with other photos. When you try crop, LR open the last image you cropped and then the one you trying to edit. Right now I am trying to export a slideshow, the bar is on top, nothing happen, no sign of progress. SO MANY PROBLEMS. Anyone having the same issues?

My sistem is a macbook pro retina 13" 2015, Sierra 10.13.4, 8GB .

I also have slow performance with 7.3 Went back to 7.1, and it is back to normal. What happens to me is that going from one photo to the other in Develop module, the image comes up 2-3 second delay. Not all images, but one out of three which makes it unbearable. This is a new computer, OC'ed to 5ghz, and Windows 10 Professional. Fast SSD.

This really needs to get sorted... I'm using 7.3.1 at the moment and its killing me how slow it is.. taking ages to switch between photos ages to apply presets or make changes.

Why the hell can't they leave well enough alone. The mouseover presets showing a preview have to be causing performance issues too.

Please adobe get this fixed.. then don't release anymore updates and re-write Lightroom from the the ground up for version 8..

Question: Is it "only" a Mac problem? If some Windows users are reading this: do you also aware super low performance on PC?

@Adobe: must be a problem with the CameraRaw engine for Mac. I makes no difference working with Lr or CR on an image, both will burn out CPU and GPU, you may boil water with the heat produced, Software is the opposite of performant.

I am developing software since 1986 and at the i286 and i386 times, there have been code analysing tools called "Profiler", you find useless performance wasting subroutines instantly. It was essential for performant software at those time. - And it is still, there is no such thing like infinite hardware resources. But I am afraid, today's drag and drop software developers have no clue of how to do Profiling checks on a piece of software and make them performant.

With my 33 years of developing software experience I may testify, in 99.9% of performance problems it is a tiny subroutine/function (mostly only 3 to 5 lines), accidentally called 100 or 1000 times - even if a single call would have been sufficient.

The remaining 0.1% is waiting in a totally false way to an input event like e.g. "OnMouse{Whatever} do …".

The performance and battery drainer of Flash, since Adobe acquired Flash form Macromedia exactly having such an error included. Stupid to have all Macromedia developers fired. The problem still exists in an 16 bit object code used since then, because the source code got lost on acquisition. You still may easily find Macromedia strings in that object code with a debugger.

In case of Lr/CR performance problems it is guaranteed the 99.9% case. Experience is the heck of a good thing.

Damned, Adobe, get this performance problem fixed instantly!!!!

It's exactly the same with windows (8.1 pro in my case).

Had to wait 4 minutes just to get it started. System and LR catalog are on a fast SSD, top-of-the-line CPU, 32 gigs if RAM.

I'll try to downgrade... when this thing will eventually shut down

Hot tip.

I just downgraded to Lightroom 6, OMG the performance improvements are amazing.

It just flies compared to 7.0 to 7.3.1

Look, I think we don't gain much by threatening adobe to switch to another program.

I'm more like "hey, how can we help you to help us?". I've recorded a video, I can send you log files if you want, or whatever your engineering team needs to sort this out. But I think the way to go here is to embrace the slowness and be proactive at looking at a solution.

Being an engineer myself, I took a Windows process dump of lightroom when it was consuming CPU like hell, is that of help? I've compressed the file with 7zip's gzip to reduce file size a bit. Here's the download link: Lightroom.DMP.gz - Google Drive

I really want to help you iron out this issue so I can keep using the software I paid for, but please be vocal about it.

threatening? where you see this? I'm talking facts, that I pay for something that SUCKS. It makes me so mad every time I work with it that I want to smash my laptop

You may go back to 7.2. On my computers it worked, DB was not messed up.

Today it was so particularly slow for me that I had to record a video

Its so unusable at this point that I'm wondering if I should ask for a refund until they find a solution.

Sorry for the poor quality, I had to record with my phone as screen recorders wouldn't work with lightroom sucking up all computer resources.

Computer specs:

core i5 4590 3.3ghz

8gb of RAM

2 disk drives, one SSD for the cache and OS, one magnetic for the catalog and picture storage (although disk usage is pretty minimal)

windows 10

nvidia 970 (tried both with and without GPU support, same deal)

I have an MSI GS73VR, i7, 1060-nividia, 16g RAM, I never had problem with other apps, only with Lightroom -always, no matter the version, but this last one now IT SUCKS. PERIOD. I went back to 7.2 version but I can't say I'm super happy either as with Fuji RAWs Lightroom is always super slow.

I just started a try of the DXO-Optics and purchased already for only 50usd the new LUMINAR-2018 (you listen Adobe? just 50usd for ever(!), not 50usd every month for just using 2 apps I need from you!) and they both run so nicely, I had forgot how easy it was to work with my photos...

Definitly not for professional use. Even not for amateurs...

Capture One will be my not so far next choice!

The 7.3 is unusable for me when applying any of the mask and clone features and my specs aren't slow. I am getting the prior crop image issue too. I had to reinstall 7.2.

Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon

Yeah, Adobe did it again and messed up once more.

On Mac, all of the Adobe software since ever is super slow, because optimized for crappy PC/Windows.

Lr 7.3 is now hyper slow and has become UNUSABLE .

And a battery drainer.

When will Adoble learn, to implement macOS APIs instead of trying to transform their own PC/Windows optimized thing to Mac? This will never work out performant.

Using macOS APIs they could improve speed of Adobe software on Mac by at least factor 10 or so.

It looks like, at Adobe nobody in charge of anything knows, that 99.9% of the graphics industry and artists work with Mac instead of this creepy crappy Windows trash thing.

And YES: Adobe managed it also: Radial/Zoom Blur has still NO PREVIEW with the current Ps version 2018 (19.1.3). This is a complaint from soooooooo many persons since 2004 or so.

Dinosaur behaviour of Adobe. They think there is no need, to listen to the customers. IBM did also. Now companies in China make the former IBM PC.@

Damned Adobe, fix this It is not funny

As soon Serif Software has something like Bridge or Lightroom to support Affinity Photo, I will quit my subscription at once.

Hi Al_barraz, yiannisz83733662 and jhessicaviana,

Sorry that you're facing performance issue with Lightroom Classic CC since the 7.3 version update.

Could you please check if the app still performs slowly if you uncheck "use graphics processor" under the Preferences> Performance menu?

Also, please refer this article Optimize Lightroom performance and let us know if the suggestions to optimize the app helps.

Thanks,

Akash

Hi Akash,

I have tried all the above since the very beginning I started using the new 7.3 version and nothing changed...

I use a notebook with nVidia 1060 card and 16gb ram, and Lightroom is sooo terribly slow like never before, especially with Fujifilm's RAWs is a nightmare.
