@snerkler I spoke with Adobe chat in relation to those extra cache files in the Adobe Camera Raw 2 folder and apparently its a duplicating issue that can occur. To Resolve it, he had me: Close Lightroom Finder - Go to Folder - "~/library/preferences" Rename File...

Sorry for late reply, having a fight with the decking in the backyard last couple days lol! I have 39GB worth of those files in same location which is the same as the Previews and Smart Previews on my SSD combined. My SSD is external so im wondering why these DAT files are on my internal SSD...

Its all the same to them lol!

The files on mine are installed in the same location at the catalog. You could move it but as long as they are on the sam physical disk it won't make much if any difference. Have you tried clicking the optimise catalog option in Lightroom? You also have a location where the actual Raw Files are...

Indeed, he was one of the finest Spanish waiters to grace the game!

:ROFLMAO:

I appreciate its confusing, that what Adobe do lol. A new Cache for Every Catalog is created. The Catalog is stored separately from the Camera Raw Cache/Previews, currently my Catalog is 138MB for 7700 images and the Camera Raw/Preview Cache I have is 31GB with retentions for 30 days. If I make...

Im not having any argument or getting p***y with anyone! I'm merely stating some facts and trying to assist another user. In regards to your wife's iMacs and your experience with them, yes it possibly crashes, perhaps it ran out of resource, software error, needed updated, user error, unsuitable...

The camera raw cache is taken from your HDD, so that 20GB is reserved. It holds data values for every photo, even those that are unedited, they will just have the standard camera data values in that scenario. It doesn't load all the data every time it stores it in the catalog file so when you...

My Apologies then, I believed you said Photoshop as per your comment below and referring to it as a scratch disk only. If you believe an SSD is faster than internal RAM, well that's up to you, Adobe certainly don't; as an example, DDR4 Ram found in a typical computer is around 19000MB/s which...

The is where the catalog is stored, you need to manually change this. You do this by selecting preferences, performance and then choose option. You would then select your SSD drive. If you add an external SSD, have it formatted to Journaled as you can then also select it as a scratch disk in...

No worries at all. The Camera Raw Cache is indeed a tricky thing to get your head around! Its where the information is stored about what changes you have made to your raw files in the Develop module such as increasing the various sliders for Exposure, Contrast and so for. The camera raw cache...

100, I couldn't agree more. It shocking really. I tried Capture One and it was ok, faster than Lightroom but just didn't feel like home and I think Adobe knows this and they have us by the stones.

You are correct, it will only drop once being used. Lightroom doesn't have that inbuilt efficiency tool that photoshop has. What you can do is click the System Info option and it will show how much ram is in use. This is my iMac when accessing that from Library preview: Application...

Im just following on from that and as I said, you posted with best intentions, everyone is. I agree it’s indeed nobodies place to troubleshoot or handhold for anyone unless specifically asked to do so and to be fair you or other asked him on Thunderbolt, USB 3 as he could end up buying a drive...
