The computer was specifically built for (semi-)professional audio and image editing with the possibility of playing the occasional video game in highest details. My PC has an i7 3.5 GHz CPU, 16 GB RAM and an GTX 770 with 3 GB VRAM. Great, they now have a setting for GPU acceleration, except it seems to decelerate the performance for most and cannot be enabled at all by the rest! I think this program is now called “Creative Cloud” and they charge people for it.Īnyway, for most of the aforementioned problems there are workarounds except for the abysmal performance compared to the previous version. There are problems with recognizing pressure values from older Wacom tablets and so on.Īdobe used to have a “Labs” section where they released beta versions for their products before the official release. TIFF files that come from external plugins (including Photoshop) keep reloading after each and every change, eventually completely reverting to the original TIFF. There are ridiculous user interface problems in the localized versions. Now, after a few days I wish I would not have done either of these things and instead would have installed LR 5 again. I put it on a newly installed desktop PC, updated my catalog and started to edit my latest photos. I decided to buy the update to Lightroom after hearing/seeing all the praise on this website. Perhaps the only way to make Adobe sit up and pay attention is for a critical mass to stand up and walk out of this abusive relationship. We pros cannot afford to wait with baited breath for Adobe get off their asses and deal with a problem that impacts our ability to preform our jobs. C1’s file management isn’t as good as LRs, but at the moment it is a substantially faster app for doing what we need to do.Īdobe is at a critical point in LRs life cycle. I’ve actually just talked with the people at Phase One about the possibility of a special ‘Switch to Capture One’ promo period. Tablets and smart phone have their uses, but there is a reason us pros have power machines for our real work. Message to Adobe – an iPad is not a serious tool for editing or creation. Adobe has been so focused on expanding into gimicky mobile apps that it has lost its way. Which it obviously is not.Īdobe has yet to join the conversation on the serious performance issues they’ve introduced, and as the entire code for CC/6 has been rewritten, it’s not likely that we’ll see a real ‘fix’ in the near future. Why even mention the ‘free’ aspect of a bug fix? Is there ever such a thing as bug fix the customer needs to pay for? I don’t understand the emphasis here, unless it’s an attempt to make people think Adobe is actually handling the many and serious LR CC/6 issues properly.
