Question

Slow Operations

I have searched high and low for a solution on this problem. I can edit on Capture One about 3-5x faster just because of how much faster the application performs. Lightroom is overall painfully slow. Moving silder, making adjustments, healing, etc. I've done 1:1 previews, optimized catalogs, tried every solution imaginable. I've come to the conclusion that Lightroom just struggles to perform well with large Sony A7R4 files? All drivers are up to date, lightroom is up to date. 

Hardware monitoring seems fine while editing, nothing is even close to being used to is max capacity.

The first thing that you should try is to switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue.

Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.

If Lightroom doesn't start correctly the please see "Solution 2" in the document behind the link below.

Troubleshoot GPU issues | Lightroom Classic (adobe.com)

 

Another step is to try to reset the Lightroom preferences.

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

If this doesn't help we need more informations about your environment.

Please post the exact version and not only phrases as "recent", "latest" and so on.

 

Please provide also a copy of your 'System Info'. This can be get from the LrC Help > System Info menu item.

Hej,

I encounter a similar issue, after update export became very slow, I  have done all the steps other places suggested but nothing changed. 
Are there others out there who has the same issue after the last update?

If Ian's suggestion doesn't help, do the LR menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the entire contents here so we can see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running.
