Tearing my hair out again with the performance of lightroom.
What on earth is the purpose of smart profiles?
I am going through a folder trying to cull images quickly. I had previously created smart previews to allow me to flick through quickly and colour code each photo.....
However
A.) The smart previews seem to be created without the exposure adjustments (applied on import...)
B.) this means every time i flick to a new photo lightroom has to "expose it" and this takes 10-20 seconds
C.) each photo sits on "loading" with a blury image for 5 or 10 seconds before the above even starts to happen....
Its slow AF to be honest and my machine isnt sluggish. Both catelogue and photos hosted on a local SSD, 24gb of ram (ALL, yes F-ing all eaten up by lightroom despite regular restarts) and a 2.6ghz I7 - not sure the "effective speed" as task manager tells me its running faster than that (and its a laptop so not overclocked).
