Hey everyone.

I am trying to edit some pictures and every time i try to edit anything the computer freezes and the programme says its not responding.

I have read a lot of people suggesting to disable the graphics processor. I have done this and restarted lightroom several times and the difficulties.

I have a GTX 1050ti and have updated the drivers with no fix. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Correct answer dj_paige

Lots of brushing will cause Lightroom to slow down. No doubt about it.

You might want to consider one (or more) of these suggestions:

  1. Do the brushing in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements
  2. Do the brushing as the next to last editing step, and as the last editing step, turn on lens corrections and transforms
  3. Get a much faster CPU

Your GPU acceleration should be off. Go to Preferences->Performance Tab->Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor"

Are you doing a lot of brushing and/or a lot of spot healing?

Other than that, I don't know what might cause this.

i have turned off GPU acceleration.

I am doing a lot of brushing to add in lots of colour to hundreds of fairy lights. Could this be the issue?

I have no idea what 'fairy lights' means but perhaps you are asking Lr to do something it isn't equipped to do.

Could you Edit In Photoshop and add your 'fairy lights' there?
