A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Why is Lightroom so slow on MacBook Pro? (alien.top)

I bought a new Mac just for photo editing, but Lightroom still feels unreasonably slow on it. I have tried both Lightroom and Lightroom Classic, but both are not nearly as responsive as I would expect. Especially when doing things like using the Heal tools. Are there any settings I can adjust to make it operate faster?

Lightroom sucks and also why would Apple sell a computer with 8GB RAM in the year of our lord 2023

Right? That's how much RAM my 3+ year old phone has. 8gb hasn't been enough for a computer for like 10 years.
