Photomechanic is very fast for sorting multiple images using the embedded jpegs prior to importing to LR for editing. These images have already been imported and edited.Photo mechanic, that I'm aware of there isn't any software which does it quicker
Yes but as a way to display edited images, its great, much better than lightroomPhotomechanic is very fast for sorting multiple images using the embedded jpegs prior to importing to LR for editing. These images have already been imported and edited.
Good for photo journalists but at something like $150 a bit of overkill, especially when LR is pretty fast enough for "snaps" if the OP attends to the points I listed earlier.Yes but as a way to display edited images, its great, much better than lightroom
Oh I agree wholly just assumed $ wasn't a factorGood for photo journalists but at something like $150 a bit of overkill, especially when LR is pretty fast enough for "snaps" if the OP attends to the points I listed earlier.
I've just tried a test slideshow using Lightroom on a 27inch iMac, with a stack of images up to 2.5MB each and I see no problems with speed settings for slide times and fade times of 1 second. Why in that case is there any need to export to iPhoto, which, compared to LR is one of the worst bits of software ever to curse the Earth.I export my finished Jpegs from LR [on external drive] to iPhoto and use that to show them either on my iMac or via Apple TV to the plasma in the lounge.
You said you found LR a bit slow and I've tried to offer you some reasons. So I'm not sure where you consider the problem lies. Adobe and Apple TV probably don't interface well, if at all.nothing to do with speed.
No I didn't mate, look at my posts. I'm not the OP.You said you found LR a bit slow and I've tried to offer you some reasons. So I'm not sure where you consider the problem lies. Adobe and Apple TV probably don't interface well, if at all.
Indeed you are correct, my apologies! Obviously I'm beginning to wander.No I didn't mate, look at my posts. I'm not the OP.
Solving one problem may create another! If you do this you will force LR to build 1:1 previews for all images selected. This is fine if you unconcerned about the Previews.Irdata file getting too big. However it is also best to free-up RAM as much as possible for overall machine speed efficiency. The size of the individual preview cache files is dependent on how you set the Preview Cache settings in the Catalogue Settings/File Handling. If you are working on a laptop, 1024 pixels is sufficient. There is no point in making the previews unnecessarily large since this will consume more HD space than is needed. Also the quality setting determines how much compression is applied, making the preview cache files more compact at the expense of image quality.In Library mode, if you go to the "Library" tab and select "Previews -> Build 1:1 previews" for those images you want to view, that bit of hesitation before a sharp image pops on the screen can be reduced or eliminated.

You have an option here to automatically discard after a certain designated time. You might be surprised if you check on how much space you are using for the Previews.Irdata file.
However, as per your first post, I prefer to export images as small jpgs for iPad, which is very portable and more than good enough for most people.
As you are using almost up to almost a 30-inch display, I suggest you use the largest available (2048) and high quality. This is what I use, but I have 32GB of RAM. Good to dump them after 30 days also. Try it and see!oh....
thanks for the reply - I have looked at the size - it says total size is 1GB, Standard Preview size is 1440 pixels, preview quality is Medium and it will discard them after 30 days.
I use a 27" iMac with a 1TB HD and 8gb of RAM - by photos take up 67 gb....
Do these settings seem right ?
Hello
After editing your photos what viewer do you use to show people your lovely snaps ?
