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?

I watched this video the other day and as everyone says, it's probably the memory or lack of it. In the video the guy also tests Lightroom editing with 8Gb and 16Gb models. I have a Macbook Pro M1 Max with 32Gb memory and everything works very well.
