Re: Lightroom upgrades

For RAM intensive apps like Photoshop, the more RAM the better. LR is a bit less RAM intensive—through memory usage modeling, I've never seen it consume more than 2.5G RAM in any operations by itself—but is much more critical on disk space utilization and read/write performance once you have

thanks for those RAM site tips. I'm running 4gig at the moment with 166Gig free HD space. I bought my 21.5" iMac late 2011 i'm pretty shure, and have checked with adobe site and it looks like i can expand up to 16gig. It had 4 slots 2 with 2 gig and 2 free or so the pop up window says on my "

Re: Lightroom upgrades

I have made it a standard policy when buying systems for the past decade or so to max out RAM at purchase time (if not upgradeable) or immediately afterwards (for upgradeable systems). I cannot see the point of running a system with a less than optimal configuration for most of its life and

Re: Lightroom upgrades

I will also echo the OWC recommendation. I have bought much RAM and hard drives etc. from them over the years. Never a problem, good information on the web site to help you buy the right things. And there are videos out there showing the relatively simple process of adding the new RAM once you

Re: Lightroom upgrades

I can second the OWC recommendation. I buy most of my computer hardware from them and have purchased memory numerous times. When I bought my current iMac I purchased it with the minimum 8 gigs of memory and added another 24 gigs from OWC. That saved me several hundred dollars. Paul > On Dec

they recommend 8gb if using photoshop as well. double that is a good place to start indeed. On Dec 30, 2016 10:57 AM, "P. J. Alling" wrote: > LIghtroom is not lightweight. You really need more ram. I don't know > how much ram Adobe claims is the minimum to run

Re: Lightroom upgrades

LIghtroom is not lightweight. You really need more ram. I don't know how much ram Adobe claims is the minimum to run Lightroom 6.0 or CC but take whatever they say and double it. Besides being perpetually broke these days that's one of the reasons I use a lot of old software. Once you

Re: Lightroom upgrades

Just restart the computer and see if it happens again. You might look inside the catalog folder and see if there are any residual "journal" files (they should be obvious). If there are, delete them before running LR again. If it does happen again, call Adobe support (or start a support chat

Re: Lightroom upgrades

Adobe provides a page with downloadable, perpetual license versions of LR. You could, theoretically, upgrade to an older version by obtaining a license code and using a matching major revision download. I know various people who have done that for rather odd reasons. But in general, you're

I've always upgraded my software incrementally as it came out. Standalone LR 6.8 runs beautifully on macOS v10.11/v10.12 in 4G RAM (presuming you have enough free disk space on the home drive), but runs better and better with 8, 16, and 32G … particularly if you are using it in conjunction

Hi Dave: I have the stand alone Lightroom 6 on my 2011 iMac desktop (21.5 inch) which has 4 gigs of RAM. Lightroom 6 is workable with 4 gigs of RAM, but not optimized; I do get pizza wheels sometimes, so I do recommend more RAM. I have Lightroom, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and a few

Re: Lightroom upgrades

I have upgraded every versions since version 2. LR6/CC is extremely heavy on RAM consumption. On an 8gb machine it is swapping constantly. Especially with photoshop open as well. It is using like 2-3GB at all times. At least on windows. I would suggest upgrading your RAM if you only have 8gb as
