Vipmediaster_IZ Thanks for the information, It's a pity Adobe could not have more informative. Now I will have to learn the new tricks Lightroom CC offers.
Just for information Lightroom CC upgrade is free if you are in iCloud along with Photoshop CC 2014

Not sure if I should start a new thread ( I think I started one ages ago but cant find it)

I am just about to sign up for CC What do people recommend for learning the ins and outs

I have the basics of LR and PS but am a bit out of date, with the bells and whistles

Sevencrossing There are now lots of Adobe videos on both Photoshop and the new Lightroom CC. All free would fully recommend Cloud, best value going, check Adobe are doing deals for new subscribers, check their website for special offers.
Lots of new ways of doing things, all you need is time! http://tv.adobe.com

Anyone else finding LR CC to be SLOOOOOWWWWWWW?

I am getting the beachball constantly on my Late-2013 13" MBP Retina | 8GB RAM | 256GB SSD | OS X 10.10.3.

I've tried both with and without graphics accelerator turned on. I've optimzed the catalog, too.

Not sure what else to do.

Your system is very RAM limited, that is likely the reason for the slowness. Now that Lightroom is a 64bit App it will take any RAM it can get it's hands on.

paulr

No in fact the opposite, it seems faster, However if you use Lightroom for storage of images in Library, I have found OnOne 9.5 one of the fastest databases around especially if you are taking hundreds/thousands of images, its lighting fast for finding images.

Now, to convince the wife that I NEED a new maxed out iMac 5K Retina...

Good Luck

I think LR CC is very fast. I import RAWs, and the previews are generated instantly. OK, I am on a Mac Pro, 6-core, 64GB RAM, but the files are on my NAS, and hence it shouldn't be fast in the first place.

I'm finding that LR CC takes longer to load my D810 RAWs in the develop module with the GPU turned on. Once they are loaded all actions are definitely much faster, but it's not fun trying to cull images and judge their sharpness waiting for the files to load into full res mode.

My LR is setup for using the graphics processor, and has it correctly identified as AMD Radeon HD - FirePro D700 OpenGL Engine.

The only thing that is "slow" is importing hundreds of RAW images (taken by my D800 and D810. I "added" 703 RAW images yesterday (all with reference and standard previews). The originals were stored on a ReadyNAS share (via AFP). It took some 6-7 minutes, including creation of previews.

This is significantly faster than with LR5, and in LR5 I have had a problem with the previews getting scrambled, and I haven't really been using it.

Ironheart

So did your preview problem get completely resolved with LR6/LRCC? 6-7 minutes to import 700+ images seems pretty reasonable.

Killerbob

Yep, all is fixed with the updated LR:) Not only did the previews issues get resolved, but functionality-wise it is better as well. Now if only I could migrate the face identifications I have in Aperture into LR. LR has face recognition, but you can't migrate the ones already done in Aperture:(

Any 'must have' changes to the tools in LR6? The speed upgrade is welcome, but just wondering if there are any new facilities.

Thanks Paul, but I find that none of the links I am seeing relating to LR are working (error 404) - is this related to me, or Adobe?

sevencrossing

Works for me
looks like it might be you

Parke1953

Works for me to.

spraynpray

That is bizarre. All other links to all other products work, just the LR upgrade link says error 404. :-((
