A bit too slow atm, and not quite 100% stable imo

2 questions.
Is Lightroom 4 a better buy that Lightroom 3 and as i have Photoshop elements 6, would i notice a big difference using Lightroom?
Anyone finding it slow? Loading images in develop mode photos take a good few seconds to open
I don't find lightroom slow at all even on massive files, using 16 gig ram, i7 2600K processor and sata III hard disks, but I never used LR3 so can't compare...
I don't find it any slower than previous versions on my base spec iMac from a few years back.
I skipped 3, but 4 (and 4.1 now) is definitely running quicker than 2 ever did.

Biggest problem I have [and about to read through thread as I suspect answer is in here somewhere], that when I click to edit in CS5, any changes already applied in LR4, apart from cropping, are lost. Colour profiles are same so obviously a setting I have missed somewhere.

I believe this was an acknowledged bug that is fixed in the 4.1 release, have you installed that?
So switch the photos into 2010 process and get it back...Really, really missing the 'Fill Light' of previous versions - yes, you can get much the same effect, but it takes a lot of slider juggling....

Yep, its 4.1
I have checked both LR4 and CS5 are in sRGB mode [had issues with this before, so first thing I checked] and regardless of whether I export as PSD or TIFF, same thing, all tonal changes disappear when clicking 'edit on photoshop' but cropping & things like spot removal, remain in place :shrug:
Yep, thanks Hugh, just popped onto Adobe forum and found the answer, either update ACR to 6.7, or allow LR to render first, or something about running in 2010 mode should solve too.
Except don't do either of the 2nd 2
Allowing LR to render first will create big tiffs all over the place.

Its updated to 4.1 now, so a non issue, but I do't real understand why this is different from allowing CS5 to do the rendering.
If you tell LR to render the TIFF it creates the file, saves it, opens in CS5 and you edit & save. Net result 1 TIFF file in a nice stack in LR.
If you let CS5 render the TIFF, it opens the file, you edit & save. Net result 1 TIFF file in a nice stack in LR.
WHy the difference in end result?
Hugh do you have to render in Tiff or is that just your preference?
I am seriously thinking of upgrading to LR4 but I do use CS a lot especially with portraits and my action sets. I won't bother if I don't get my renders transferred to CS though.

It can do psd too, which is useful if using droplets & actions with CS5 .... what would you normally use Tom?
I use tiff at the mo with LR 3 but some are saying that the 'edit' in LR do not get transferred in LR4.
I need a LR masterclass though as I am really lacking any real in-depth knowledge about it.
That for me is one of the great things about LR3. I'd be worried about upgrading , too, if it either
a) couldn't be done, or
b) took a lot more fiddling
to do it in LR4.
Worry not. The level of control you get with the new sliders is way better than LR3. Plus the RAW processing is much better too. LR4 is a no-brainer as far as i'm concerned - a comprehensive update.
