Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
Hi, I wonder if anyone has any tips on hot to speed my Lightroom as editing seems to be slower and slower.

My computer isn't new, I've had it for 5 years but neither RAM or CPU max out while using Lightroom.

My comp is:

RAM: 16GB
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz 3.30 GHz
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 750 Ti

I keep my lightroom installation, lightroom catalog and raw files on a NVMe M.2 SSD drive that is supposed to be faster than traditional SATA drives.

While editing my RAM is usage is above 20% and CPU usage at 45%. I don't use graphics card for editing. I build smart previews that are supposed to speed editing. Yet my lightroom is terribly slow while editing and switching between photos.

Thank you for any help!
 
I had problems with mine a few months ago. I needed to update my graphics card driver. It works like a charm now.
 
Try running "Optimize catalogue" under File menu
 
Thank you. All sorted now. It was actually the cpu cooler that failed. The cpu was overheating and throttling and eventually it started shutting down. I replaced the cpu cooler and it works beautifully now. I added another 16GB Ram as well.
