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?

8 gb is not a whole lot of RAM. if you have any other software open that will slow it down. I have the same MacBook but 16gb ram and it works fine but I also have a desktop with 32gb and I can run Lightroom’s be photoshop and adobe illustrator all at once
