Hello, I have a MacBook Pro 14" 128GB of ram, M4 Max chip (the highest model from Apple in France) when I use Lightroom my Mac overheats and the battery drains at an astronomical speed... Apple already changed the Mac once because it is new, but according to them the problem comes from Adobe... I use classic Lightroom and the "mobile" version, the problem is the same on both versions, I have an average of 5k photos on the cloud. Can someone help me? Attached is the energy impact of Lightroom just when I browse the photos!

Hey, @Maxence_Verbrugghe3708. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out.

Please share the system info from Lightroom Classic from Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here.

I see in the screenshots that Lightroom Sync is enabled, and only smart previews are available for a few images. Try pausing sync and see if that helps.

If it does help, we can figure out more with the Diagnostic report. In Lightroom Classic Preferences > Lightroom Sync Tab > Press and hold the ALT/OPT Key to generate a Diagnostic report.

Generally, you can log in to Lightroom Web (https://adobe.ly/3uv2zCA) and look for the Sync Issues category near the Deleted section on the left part of the screen. If there are any Sync issues, check the file name & the original upload source, apply minor edits or tags to these images, and wait a while to check if the edits sync to the cloud.

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Hi @Maxence_Verbrugghe3708! Thank you for sharing your system information. I'm really sorry to hear that Lightroom is running slow — I know how frustrating that can be, especially on a powerful setup like yours.

Here are a few quick things you can try to improve performance:

1) Turn off Face Detection
Go to Catalog Settings > Metadata tab and uncheck "Automatically detect faces in all photos."

2) Test GPU Settings
Go to Preferences > Performance, set "Use Graphics Processor" to Off, then restart Lightroom. If it doesn’t help, switch it back to Auto.

3) Optimize the Catalog
Go to File > Optimize Catalog.

4) Clear Cache & Use Smart Previews
In Preferences > Performance, click Purge Cache under "Camera Raw Cache Settings."
Also, under Develop, check "Use Smart Previews instead of Originals" to ease system load during editing.

5) Try a New Catalog
Create a new catalog and import 20–30 photos. Use Lightroom for a bit and check your system’s performance (Activity Monitor).

You can also check out this Helpx article: Optimize Lightroom Performance

Let us know how it goes — we’re here to help!
