Question

Lightroom is freezing with a lot of presets on M1 Macbook

I have the latest Lightroom 5.4 on M1 Pro macOS Monterey 12.4 and bought some presets recently. I realized with lots of presets (around 400 grouped under 10-15 groups) Lightroom starts to freeze (loading is shown) when moving between photos. It generally takes around 5-8 seconds for it to go back to normal. When I disable the presets from the "Manage Presets" screen, things go back to normal.

 

These presets are working/rendering fine on my iPad Mini but lagging on M1, so I assume this is a software issue.

 

Did anyone had an issue like this?

I confirm the very same on my M1 Air and M1 Pro. Since the last version, navigating from picture to picture takes ages - including spinning wheel mouse coursor. It is almost unusable now.

I also have installed RNI (https://reallyniceimages.com/) Version 5.

Thanks a tousand @Kaan25178877ox3g for the tipp with disabling the presents! This really made my day!!

    I have a similar problem. I have a bunch of presets in folders. I would need to take count, but > 400 sounds about right. I purchased most of them at once, but did not see performance problems right away. It took weeks of importing new photos and editing before I noticed any performance issues.

    Indeed, disabling the presets brings back performance to normal. If I re-enable the presets, instantly performance slows to a crawl with 100% cpu spikes again.

    fwiw I bought this https://www.presetpro.com/product/creative-flow-beautiful-lightroom-presets-and-brushes/ and installed all the presets as instructed.

      I'll add, that this performance bug with a large number of presets does not exist using the latest lightroom classic. If this isn't a bug, then we have a taken a step backwards in expected usability.

        Could a moderator move this to bugs? I realized I opened this to the wrong place.

        There isn't sufficient information to classify this as a bug currently. 

         

        Reproducible steps, system specifications and  a sample preset that exhibits the issue would go a long way towards confirming a bug.

        @Rikk Flohr: Photography 
        Ciao Rikk, I can confirm the issue on two of my machines. The application is unsuable for me. Really. Thanks to this forum and the tipp of @Kaan25178877ox3g to disable the presents, I at least have a workaround.

        Maybe its worth to note, that RNI 5 uses a "profile based" approach, where RNI 4 uses an "adjustment based" approach.

         

        This issue came up recently (using the same version of RNI) - but new update of lightroom.
