Lightroom nightmare

Is it me or is lightroom slow.

Uploaded 77 pics and it took ages.

exported just one pic to picassa and it took about 4 minutes.


And it keeps not responding

What am I doing wrong?

Please help
or point me in the diresction of help

Mmm I don't know I find Lightroom fast and efficient

KK would be the best person to ask for help. there are also several Lightroom groups on Flickr,you could try there.

Steve uses Lightroom he might have an idea.

Perhaps if you typed what you did step by step, I know it is a pain......

But, one of us may be able to help then!

Just uploaded 77 pics in raw and it took about 10 mins.

is that normal?

That does seem slow, but i tend to do several things at once, so haven't really paid attention to how long it takes, remember your card speed can alter how long it takes to upload too.

mmmmm interesting

just tickled around with it and uploaded just 5 pics and it was fine.

maybe i should walk before i can run.

The way you have Lightroom set up can effect upload speeds. If it is set up to generate full size previews then it can slow to snails pace.

The preview settings can be set in "file - Catalogue settings" .

ok going to check it out

thanks

Depends on spec of your PC too.

Hi Jols, I just did a quick test. I imported 80 RAW files (canon 40d) at 1.06GB in total size, which took exactly 44 seconds. Your total file size for your RAW files are about 770mb and to take 10mins to import, can only mean your computer is not up to the task.
You will have to limit the number of RAW images you import untill you upgrade your pc.
