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?

gotta have more RAM, it's that simple. I'm running a M1 Max Mac Studio with 32gb and LRC runs quite well. The healing tool occasionally takes a second to do its thing, but nothing that's a big deal. I am using using LRC with all sorts of other software running. A common context would be: LR, Music, Safari, Mail, Photoshop, and all the basic stuff like Notes, Calendar, Weather, Messages, Preview.
