Lightroom :: Workflow Slows Down After Modifying An Image
Mar 18, 2013
Lightroom 4.3 runs smoothly if I work on unmodified images.
Â
However, if I apply modifications on an image, retouching it afterwards becomes much slower, even if I render a preview AFTER I made modifications on the image.
Â
I tell you an example: I import a raw file to the program and I render it`s preview. Then I retouch the image - it works very fast, no waiting time, no Loading overlay.Where the problem starts: I import a raw file, I apply some modifications on it (for example a preset), then I render it`s preview - then I want to do more modifications on the image, which becomes very slow.
Â
I was monitoring the cpu usage of the computer. In the first case, the cpu usage during modifying the image is normal.In the second case, it goes up to 100%. It seems that applying modifications on an image makes working on it slow, no matter if you have the most up-to-date preview or not.

I am updating my CUI ribbon for some of my customized buttons. Â I have changed some of the bitmap images that I have saved in my network folder for the network AutoCAD customization. Â However, I cannot get the Ribbon to update to show the new button images. Â
I have opened the CUI, browsed down to the partial CUI for our corporate configuration, then to the "Ribbon", then to the "Tabs", then to the individual section of the tab and clicked on it. Â Then I click on the specific button in the "Panel Preview" pane to get the properties for that button to show. Â Then at the bottom of the "Properties" panel, I click on the "Small Image" line to see the three dots that allow you to browse to where the .bmp is stored. Â I have not renamed the bitmaps, but just modified their color and the way they look. Â So I have to change the .bmp file to a different location in the small image properties, then change it back to the correct image name. Â It will update the appearance in the "Panel Preview", but will not update the actual ribbon. Â I click on "Apply" and "OK", and it still doesn't update the actual ribbon. Â I have tried closing and restarting AutoCAD after that. Â As a last resort, I rebooted to see if that would complete the change, but in vain.
I made sure that the network location for the bitmap files is listed in my Options > Support File Search Path (very near the top of the support file list), but that still isn't solving the problem.
How to get AutoCAD to completely forget the old image that is showing on the ribbon and repopulate it with the updated bitmap image?

I'm developing a workflow and I would like to see how the images of professional photographers look like in PS at the end of the process ... ready for printing.
Â
Here is my workflow in PS for B&W photo (Hue/Saturation adjustment layer is not needed for a B&W photo as known):
Â
After making all tone and color adjustments in LR, I open the image as a smart object in PS ... and rest is on the above image, showing my layers panel in PS at the end of the developing process.
Â
At the end of the work, if I print with PS, I select all the layers and convert them to a smart object together and I apply output sharpening ... but if I print with LR, I save and close the file without output sharpening and I use the sharpening options on the print module in LR.

When I do a Edit in Photoshop, LR creates a TIF file. I process this in Photoshop and close it saving it back to LR. It saves in the same folder as the original on the hard disk. Is there any way I can get these files to save in a new folder under the originals automatically? (all the files for processing should go in this folder)

I'm currently trying to match six cameras and all their different lenses to produce identical images and I need fine tuning my workflow on making the camera profiles.
Â
Me and my team are shooting weddings. We have Nikon D3s, Nikon D3, 2x Canon 5D mk III, Canon 1D mk 3, Canon 5D mk II with 17 lenses and I'm in the middle of the process of matching their colors so when we shoot together I don't go crazy trying to match the white balance between all the cameras in Lightroom.
Â
The issue I have is that I managed to make all the colors, contrast, saturation and brightness for all cameras and lenses on daylight shots identical (with minimal differences) but shots under 2800k light are very different.
Â
I bought a 24 patch color checker and took photos with all cameras - once with a 2800k halogen lamp and then with a 5500k strobe (Nikon SB-800 @ 1/16 power). I shot in RAW. The exposures are good - no blown highlights or unexposed parts. In Camera raw I applied the "Camera neutral" color profile for all cameras. I exported the shots in DNG. For each camera and lens I imported the halogen and flash lit file into DNG Profile editor.In the chart section I created a color table for the "2850 K only" halogen lit shot and then for the flash lit shot choosing "6500 K only".
Â
So far so good. The colors are good but to achieve them for the different cameras or lenses I need to input different color temperatures and tint. What I want is to set identical color temperature for all photos (say 5500k) and to get identical colors regardless of camera or lens.
Â
So the next step I took to get at least the daylight shots identical is to play with the "White balance calibration" under the "Color matrices" tab. For instance - DNG Profile editor determines that the flash shot should be set to 6050k +8 tint. I move the "white balance calibration" sliders until I reach the numbers I want above the flash shot (5500k). Because the colors shift I press the "Create color table" button again. My goal is to show the program that I want these (calibrated) colors to be achieved at 5500k +0 tint and not 6050k +8 tint. I get the result I want but that affects the 2850k shot. If I readjust the "white balance calibration" sliders for the 2850k shot and use "create color table" again, that ruins the 6500k adjustment.
Â
So using this workflow I get either the daylight shots right or the tungsten lit shots, but not both.
Â
So in short my question is - How do I create proper profiles that produce identical colors among all cameras and lenses under all white balance settings?

Yes, my monitor is an LCD and it is bright. It is not a proofing monitor. It was calibrated. I've been printing B&W from LR on an Epson printer (r1900 & r2400). I know proper color management. Turn off Epson Color Management, let LR manage color with the correct icc profile
Â
Obviously I can do trial and error, brightening the photo until it looks correct.My thought is, is there a way I could print on one page Thumbnails or like in the film days strips with different "exposures." Then with one print I could pick how much of an adjustment is needed?

I really like LR as my primary workflow-tool.
Â
What I'm actually looking for: a "workflow-checklist-plugin".
Â
This plugin should be a plugin visible in the develop module of Lightroom.It (the plugin) should show me a list of checkboxes (which I could define). These Checkboxes contain the different steps of my LR-Workflow (to make sure that I don't forget one of them). Also, the "TAG" Metadata of the photo should be edited within the plugins-windows (with this feature, there's no need to jump back to the library to add a TAG). All data might be saved in the photos metadata.
To describe a bit more in detail what I mean, I generated a "sample picture" if there's somewhere such a workflow-plugin? And: is it possible to modify the TAG of a photo in the develop module (without jumping back to the library)?

In LR 3.6 I worked with panoramas imported as 16bit TIFs from PTGui which, at their margin, are transparent. These transparent areas were initially marked white in LR 3.6. and, most importantly, it was readily possible to modify these areas with the brush or repair tools in LR. After updating to LR5 and importing my LR 3.6 libraries I realised that all of the retouche and modified transparent areas are white again and all the retouch I did is gone, where by e.g. the circles indicating where I used the repair tool are still in place.
Â
How can I retrieve and retain the modifications I made in LR 3.6?
Â
How can I turn transparent areas in TIFs within LR into areas I can modify?

when ever I bring a clip into the timeline and play it as a "Clip" the sound is fine. When I play it as a "project" the video plays normal but the sound is slowed way down out of sync. This problem carries over to the burned DVD also.

When i load up PS everything is fine - very responsitive - but after a while (around ½ hour to 1 hour) ps slows down and any tool becomes very slow; brush, pan.. everything.I then save my work and reload PS - and everything works fine again. My system is a powerful quadcore box with 8 GB of RAM and approx 300 GB of scratch disk - all running on Vista x64.

I have a scene (original Sketchup > 3ds > max) with 100's of thousands of objects. About 60 odd materials. Due to mapping being specific I'm manually converting the standard materials to VRay Materials (latest vray 2.3) - Yes I'm NOT using the VRayScene Converter in this case. Even with ALL OBJECTS HIDDEN, after I get to like the 10th or 11th subobject material, max just suddenly slows down to a crawl. Just to change a colour swatch (not even a bitmap) takes sometimes like 2 minutes or longer for max to respond. I thought maybe it's an UNDO issue so I set UNDO levels to just 1. This didn't work. With Nitrous, I have viewport progressive refinement switched OFF. I tried switching to OpenGL and the viewports are actually MUCH more responsive in wireframe. In OpenGL it seems to last longer before the slowdowns start again. I'm not even at the render stage yet.
I'm on Win7 64bit with 16GB Ram. i7 2600k and 2 X SSD in raid 0. I have an ATI 6990 4GB with the lastest drivers (Catalyst 12.6). Max has the latest update3 installed.

When we work with Artistic text, corel X6 gets slow. This is on all computers with Corel X6. If we use Corel X3 it is ok. Any reason?
When using Artistic text there is also always automatic inserted several empty lines in bottom.

When Saving an animated GIF in Photoshop CS3 the animated frames slow when viewed after the save. Therefore any gradient fades etc seem to stutter, about 25% slower than the frame rate set initially.
When the animation is played in photoshop it plays at the right speed, only slows when viewing the file after saving...

If I have Curve Editor open and I playback my animation (fairly complex character) by clicking "Play Animation" button, animation won't run smoothly.
Curve Editor Open (minimized and or maximized) = 6 fps
Curve Editor Open while dragging time slider manually = 15 fps
Curve Editor Closed = 28 fps
Also if I have "Statistics" info shown (shortcut 7) to see fps, it will slow playback about 40% more.
Would be nice to have some sort of fix on these As an animator having to close Curve Editor all the time is annoying.
3ds max 2012 was great leap towards better and faster experience, but there are still tons of old bugs and "still not working very well", like random numbers in reaction manager, or having different keyboard shortcuts for Edit Poly modifier or Editable Poly mesh (please combine). Graphite Modeling Tools was good addition, but would be nice to have it integrated completely with tools found in Edit Poly modifier and Editable Poly. Chamfer also needs upgrading, it still doesn't work very well with more complex places.

I am typesetting an A4 document using paragraph text. When I get about a third of the way down the page the computer slows right down and gets worse and worse as I go on. I have reformatted my hard drive and reloaded Corel draw but am still having the same problem!

It doesn't matter what block I edit or if I even edit a block but if I open and then close the Block editor it slows considerably.
I have treid Regen, Purge, Audit, Turning off snap's, Polar Tracking etc but nothing seems to work with the exception of closing and resetting AutoCAD

I am having a problem with Autocad 2012 LT. It typically runs fine, but after using it for an extended period of time with multiple projects open, it becomes painfully slow to perform basic tasks like copying objects, opening projects, and saving projects. Restarting AutoCAD does not fix the problem, however, restarting my computer does fix the problem. I just don't want to be continually restarting my computer as on average I need to do this 3-4 times per day at work.

I use a simple opacity mask on some equally simple (but large) artwork. It slows down the screen rendering so much as to make the file almost unworkable with the preview turned on.

I'll start off will some system specs:
Â
i5 m450 @ 2.40ghz
win7
4gb memory
approx 200 gb of free hd space
Â
running pse8 with approx 39,000 images, very small amount of video clips.
Â
people recognition and auto analyze are turned off.
Â
The issue is that when adding tags and captioning to multiple files the application slows down and sometimes freezes for short amount of time.
Â
Would installing additional ram totaling 8gb useful or does ram play any role in the performance of the application?

I recently purchased Corel VideoStudio X4. I installed SP1 and SP2. I am facing very long delays in a project with 1080p files. The slowness only comes when Smart sounds track is added. If I delete it, everything is back to normal. I have tried rebuilding the index for Smart sounds Quick tracks but the problem persists.

I'm working on a rather large subdivision (not uncommon, certainly used to a longer-than-normal load time) but have found one of our XREF files to be bringing drawing loads to a screeching halt. We have XLOADCTL set to 2, which explains the creation of the temporary file.
I have previously gone into the file and reset the scale list, which speed things up by about 50%, but today it appears to be doing the same thing.
Is there anything I can do to prevent this from becoming a more serious problem? Can I add some sort of SCALELISTEDIT reset command to the acaddoc.lsp file?

With the command window displayed at the bottom of the screen, everything slows down. The cursor momentarily freezes and it takes a second or two for commands to be fulfilled. Also, the command window is about 7 lines high; in the past, I have shrunk it to maybe 3 or 4 lines but I cannot shrink this wndow.Â
Then, when I push control-9 and the window disappears, everything speeds up to normal!Â
I tried turning off my internet connection and my McAfee Viruscan as well. Running without the command window makes it hard to draft. Since I type shortcuts, I figure I must have hit the wrong key and unleashed something unspeakably terrible.
I am running AutoCAD version 10 on my PC, with Windows XP Professional.

I've installed Illustrator CS6 recently and found the behavior of panning with the scroll wheel annoying. When I have low zoom values (e.g. 75%) the scroll wheel lets me pan U-D, L-R at normal speed, but if I zoom in (200% and up), the panning slows to a point where it is unusable at 600% and up. I use [Shift] to speed it up but at high zoom levels it's not enough. This wasn't the case for Illustrator CS5 or 5.5 where panning with the scroll wheel worked at the same speed at any zoom level.

I'm working on a document with the necessary combination of bitmap and vector. After importing textures 300dpi (A4/24bit/jpg) the reaction slows down the program significantly, to the inability to continue working in it. Texture takes 40mega while in memory, but in my opinion it is not quite so much, it should not materially affect the normal operation. I am using CDrawX3, I tried to open it in a version 9 or 10. The fastest I came subjectively is CDraw Designer v10. But he still falls.I tried adjusting the amount of RAM for Corel or lower resolution bitmap import at 150 dpi. It's practically the same. It does not even mention the interactive transparency, or weld/trim operation, etc. I think, that the X4 or X5 are the same. Every year new version seems the same old software with the polished exterior. I'm used to work in Corel for technical drawings with lot of combination of bitmaps and vectors but unfortunately it will want to look for something else?
