Re: Lightroom

Re: Lightroom

2007-04-23 by David Keenan

I am very displeased with Lightroom.

On a relatively fast (Intel DuoCore, 4GB RAM) PC it runs like a dog. It
locks up frequently (ie., the UI becomes completely non-responsive, scroll
bars don't move, the dreaded "Not Responding" message appears, etc.) and
sometimes just terminates itself out of the blue -- POOF, it is no longer
running.

I also have problems importing my multiple folders of scans. This could be
"pilot error" but none of the obvious methods do a complete job.

I have not tried contacting Adobe support -- based on other reports this
could be another exercise in futility.

Dave.

Dave, I have had great response from the tech people. Unfortunately, most of
the problems are not my error or a program error, it just wasn't designed
with those features : ( 

And by those I mean the ones that I NEED. What files are not being imported
after scan? Particular profiles? File type or size?

Most of my experience has been with a library of around 2700 images hosted
on an external drive that I communicate with through a router so basically a
maximum of 100 mb/s. Most of the delay occurs during heavy IO operations
such as importing images, importing/exporting XMP sidecar information and
manipulating metadata. This is the price you pay for increased speed in
searching and filtering compared to having to search across folders and look
up file metadata on disk.

I haven't run much of the beta and jumped right in before the end of April
to make use of the 1/3 off Adobe special. Did you install many beta version
of Lightroom?

I did import the 2700 images located across a complex hierarchy of folders
without issues other then for compatibility mode disabled files.

I have a fairly complex system with various software packages and less ram
than you do so it does seem like you may have configuration issues.

Wow. I find this very odd, in that I run Lightroom at lightning fast  
speed on my Mac G5 with 4 GB of RAM. Heck, I can even run it on my G4  
laptop with only 512KB of RAM. Granted, it's a tad slow on the G4,  
but it does nothing like you describe. This does not sound like  
normal behavior -- given the RAM you have installed. Even if it is a  
PC. <g>

I am running light room on 3 machines...an old athlon,   a dual core Athlon
and a MacBook Pro.  

 

All run great.  I can say I did have problems with the Beta Versions begin
reliable but once I installed Version 1.0 it has run great.

While this may be old news, Lightroom requires Service Pack 2 on a PC
running Windows XP.  Is that the problem?
