Gruffydd Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I know, it's crazy, Ed. It's due to our particular circumstances and our inability to get out of a contract here in Germany. We should be able to switch in the summer, by which time Lightroom should have downloaded! (It's actually now saying 9 hours 43 min.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yipes! That sounds it might be slower than down loading Yosemite. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Finally upgraded my Lightroom 4 & Adobe CS4 to the new CC versions. Only used them a few times, but both initially seem much faster, as some other commentators said on a thread I can't find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 It's not going to happen. I don't get payments every month so neither will Adobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only used them a few times, but both initially seem much faster, as some other commentators said on a thread I can't find. Yes. PSCS5 and later have the ability to use much more RAM than earlier versions which make them much faster if working on even moderately large files and amazingly faster if working on panoramas assuming one has sufficient RAM on board. CS6 had a brand new graphics engine which makes the graphics way faster if the graphics card is compatible. Lightroom 6 is definitely faster in some respects than earlier versions but they really need to improve the graphics I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH mine only has 4GB of RAM, so it was fine when I had a relatively small back up a few years ago and smaller file sizes. Even having my back up on a different drive wasn't helping, but both seem much faster at the moment. So for those thinking of upgrading, my initial workflow is much quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoM1ke Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 The new version really seems to benefit from my graphics card too (nvidia supporting CUDA). The facial recognition functions are... interesting but massively time consuming and only of use if relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Been using the HDR for a number of jobs and definately has benefited from turning off the GPU use. I assume this is because of the reported (by Adobe) lag with previews associated with non-CPU working. Pity as I liked the instant response to sliders with GPu but it's far more critcial to me to not be wasting time with GPU issues with the HDR. Clearly Adobe can make use of the GPU very well in other software but in LRCC, it's not plain sailing...pity!! 1024 cuda cores going to waste....

Marvin McAbee Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just upgraded on CC and everything seems fine. It upgraded while I was having breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Just upgraded on CC and everything seems fine. It upgraded while I was having breakfast. Marvin, is the upgrade not automatic with CC? Which I have.... I'm confused. I keep getting notifications, but when I click on the supplied link, it takes me to the page where you have to buy it. Is the upgrade free for CC users or do we have to buy it? And is the download automatically done or do I have to actively download it? I assume so, reading your post. I thought the whole idea of subscription was the monthly fee covered upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Important as it doesn't force you to upgrade until you're ready. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'm going to show my stupid in all it's glory. When you say CC app, what are you talking about? What is the app? What I click on to open LR? I think not.... I went to Finder/Applications and clicked on Adobe CC. If that's what you're calling the App. I see two things and one of them is the uninstall icon. I double clicked on the other one above (looks like a cloud) but it doesn't open or do anything. Gahhh, I hate this technical stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Betty, the red icon with a white cloud should be your path to updates/trials etc. It should be in program files or as a shortcut on the desktop. If it's not working, you need to reinstall. Not sure with OSX but you also should have an extension manager for third party softwares that need to be applied by that route. Also make sure you update PSCC to 2014 otherwise your LRCC will have to create proxy TIFFs when you move between latest LR and CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoM1ke Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 There it is at the top of the my Windows Start menu. Not sure on Mac but Geoff must have the nub of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armstrong Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm using the trial version on OS10.10 Yosemite. In the grey bar that runs along the screen there is a Creative Cloud icon on the right hand side (Looks like the infinity symbol). Click that and a menu appears. Clicks apps and it should have LR listed under installed apps. The other way to get there is via the Apps folder as you describe above. As Geoff says it might be worth reinstalling.

Betty LaRue Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Well, I mustered out of the army and rejoined. I crawled through a minefield, under barbed wire, while dodging bullets from all directions. This was all through a thick fog, so I was never quite sure if I was doing it right. I came out on the other side, in a safe zone, and there was a mean guy, snarl on his lips, standing in front of me, arms crossed over the word "Adobe" written across his chest. He ordered me to go back the way I came. I bellied though all the above bad things again, and there I was, where I started. Somehow, don't ask me just exactly, I found a new path and made it through to the safe side again. Once there, the bad man had turned into an angel with the words "upgrade successful" written across her chest. All kidding aside, I think I'll go design a new rocket. It'll be easier. Thanks for all your suggestions and help! Betty Edited to add...this whole boondoggle was caused by my deleting the Adobe app after installing CC the first time. Nowhere did I ever see "Do NOT delete this app, you will need it in the future!" So I kept it around for a bit, didn't like it cluttering my desktop and sent it to Trash. Then I checked PS and LR to see if everything still worked. It did, so I emptied trash. It was only after reinstalling the app today that I recognized it was what I had at one time. Now you all can remove your hands from your foreheads where you just clapped them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
