Can anyone advise how can I do so?

Thank you in advance,

Hi,

Apparently My c drive is the SSD one but it has only 120 GB while my D drive has 1 Tera of space.

In that case what is the recommendation regrading Lightroom and Photoshop?

Should I move the installation to D driver or should I live it on C driver but change the Catalog direction to D?

And if so how do I change only the catalog path?

Thanks,

Ayala

the catalog and production (photos and other bitmaps) files should definitely be on your d drive.  the installations should probably be on your d drive too but that depends how much you use lr and ps and how important it is to you that they open quickly.

So I did as you recommended and move both the installation of LR and PS and the LR catalog to D driver.

Unfortunately I am still getting a very poor performance... :/

The all Idea of moving to a new PC was to improve my edit work to be faster...

I am not sure what's next.... my new PC have enough CPU and Memory space so what else can I do?

Any recommendations?

Thank you in advanced ,

uninstall the ones you don't want in their current location (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html)

then with the CC application opened, choose the 3 dots in the upper right corner and then choose Preferences.  in the preferences panel select Creative Cloud and then look for the Install Location drop down

Thank you so much for the reply.

So I want to make sure I got it right...

I need to uninstall Lightroom classic and Photoshop, then go the the Adobe creative cloud and using the 3 dots >preference> change install location and then reinstall the apps?

After I will do that will I be able to see my current catalog with all the photos I have already worked on?

And in general how can I import catalog from another PC (just got a new PC that's why I am handling all this issues right now)

Thanks again
