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?

You definitely don’t have enough RAM, I recommend closing everything you can that would be running in the background, and then also try building a new Lightroom catalogue with only a few photos in it, see if that works better
