Slow when using masking - especially brushes
I've used Lightroom Classic for years, and it's never been this bad. I literally got a new computer just to speed up my workflow. In the last couple of weeks, it's gotten so slow, I can't even use it. It started with slow masking, especially with brushes. But now, even switching to the next picture in the strip takes 5-10 seconds. Cropping? It's not even worth it unless it's really crucial, as it takes forever, especially if I'm straitening it out.
I tried cleaning up my SSD, clearing the LR cache, upping the limit to 25gb, creating a new catalogue, reseting the preferences, swithing off the GPU setting (nothing changed) and then turning it back on, updating my driver from the manufacturer site. Nothing works.
I had Adobe remote access my computer, twice. They did a few things I mentioned above (reset preferences, set my GPU preference to custom, clearing the cache, etc), and they seemed to make it faster for about 15 minutes. Then it's right back to where we started. Now none of those things even make a difference. I'm well above minumum system requirements, but it's even worse than when I used a computer that was below minimum requirements.
I'm so lost on what to do.
