A bunch of stuff has been happening in my life lately, not all bad, I found a 2TB SSD which I had thought I had lost. I ravaged a credit card, pretending I had money and put it in a maxed out 2015 15” I purchased from a local shop. I now have a working, nominally reliable laptop.
It was already running Catalina, LR6 no longer ran on it. Before I invest time and energy I don’t have into learning a new editor I decided to at least try out the ransomware Lightroom. Amusingly their little logo is LRC. I’ve processed a couple of small sets lately. Long story short it seems to be working better and faster than LR6. And as one might expect, everything that their neglect caused to die in LR6 seems to be working. I haven’t tried reprocessing panoramas or HDRs, or looked for any new features. But after a couple days of the free trial it does seem to be running noticeably smoother and faster on a 4 core laptop with 16G than on an 8 core Classic Mac Pro with 64G. Using the CMP as a NAS seems to work OK. My next step is to have another go at shoehorning Catalina onto the CMP, I already have open core on it. I really *hate* ransomware, I just don’t have the energy to fight it, or try to find an alternative right now. But, as I said, it seems to be working slightly better than it had. They did add the “rescan faces” feature which is nice, much nicer than the way facial recognition broke to the point of crashing everything when you tried to run it. -- Larry Colen [email protected]. sent from ret4est -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
