    Catalog on NAS?

    Sorry, that's supposed to be microsecond (us).

    Catalog on NAS?

    You are still adding about 120ms of latency for every database call... I run bonded 10gigE to my storage server and I still won't put my catalog on there. I even have the storage to saturate it. Still not worth the added latency vs just keeping the catalog and caches on local nvme storage...

    Catalog on NAS?

    If you want a really slow performing catalog, feel free to put it on a NAS. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Windows 10

    I have all my updates scheduled the same way I had them in 7... nothing is forced at this point.

    Windows 10

    I went through all my profiles today including making a new one via spyder... looks like nothing has changed in windows color management between 7 and 10. If you have a recent profile, it's probably fine.

    ? Sharpening

    If I were to guess, it might have to do with some resampling math at that 177% view size. I couldn't get mine to do anything like that, but at 200%, they both look very similar to me on an iso5000 grainy picture. I'll have to take a photo with less noise on a smooth surface and see what I can...

    Windows 10

    Well, I should note that I'm using 100% microsoft provided drivers for my builds and I pick hardware that MS supports natively. All the driver testing/approvals for WHQL/etc. are all on Microsoft. Hardware-wise, I picked good components with high-grade capacitors that should provide consistent...

    Windows 10

    Been on 10 for a few weeks now on my new x99 build, no issues to report with LR CC 6.3 10s been just as stable for me as 7 was (7 only blue-screened twice in the last 2 years of 24/7 operation).

    ? Sharpening

    I always sharpen at 1:1 or a bit closer just so I can really manage any halos that might be created and adjust accordingly. Also, most of my work ends up on the web at much smaller res, so I end up framing images in faststone and resizing via lanczos3 and then applying some added sharpening...

    To upgrade or not to upgrade video cards?

    I racked all 7.9 on my last setup with a GTX970 as my GPU... but I've used LR for years w/o GPU accel and I don't really notice a difference now with a new 980Ti vs not having it. My CPU is a 5930k though, so I have lots of cores for Camera Raw to consume.

    To upgrade or not to upgrade video cards?

    I'd drop into your bios and disable speedstep and processor c-states. This will prevent your CPU from cycling frequency and will run your system at max performance. I had a lot of random glitches with stuff years back and traced it all to speedstep and c-states. Try it for a week and see if it...

    LR Catalog on SSD - cycle figures

    So, I sell flash storage for a living... and have for the last 6 years. I've also got my catalog on SSD as well as all of my raw photos and output jpegs. The nice thing is that you can track the writes to the disk and keep track of your full drive writes over time. Grab whatever utilities...

    Lightroom on 2 computers

    I too have photos in both places... what I do, is when I get home, I export the .xmp files on the photos that I recently edited, then drop them into the photo directory on my desktop PC and load changes from the metadata files. It's worked great so far. -- Dave

    Using a NAS with Lightroom

    I suppose if you had an unreliable network, there could be issues, but that doesn't mean it can't be done successfully.

    Multiple monitors

    I have one monitor at 2560x1440 for my main workspace and I leave grid view up on my 2nd monitor (touch screen). I like keeping grid view open on a 2nd screen so that I can see slight changes in brightness/color cast across a set of thumbnails, plus I can touch the individual photo that looks...

    Using a NAS with Lightroom

    I've used my NAS with the catalogs in the past but moved it back once I upgraded to all flash storage. If you can mount your NAS as a drive letter vs a \\share, the catalog should be usable. Worst case, you can use a junction in windows, or a hard link in OSX to make it look like the catalog...

    reflective surfaces?

    If you are using one of those small 2ft by 2ft light boxes with only a few small light sources, you're going to get specular highlights like that. If you want to eliminate them, consider using a large white sheet and a few big lights behind it in order to create one large light source. In the...

    Removing extreme colorcast with LR

    I just tweak the RGB primaries until I get back all the faded blues and greens in the pics... then you can set a custom curve for each channel and get back the tonality you need.

    Merging vacation (laptop) catalogue to main (desktop) one

    When I move from laptop to desktop, I write out all the metadata files, transfer them over, then have LR read the metadata from the imported photos... works great. If there are any photos you are working on the desktop in parallel, flag them and put them in their own folder first, then move...

    1:1 not the same between lenses on same camera

    Supporting full-frame lenses is one thing, but that doesn't mean it leaves your camera in FF mode. Most adapters end up creating a smaller image circle on the sensor anyways... Would be interesting if you force the camera into FF mode... I'm curious of the resulting image circle.

    1:1 not the same between lenses on same camera

    I see the main image in the navigator is the same size... If the two images are different dimensions, then the 1:1 will be different... Have you verified that both images are the same resolution and have the same dimensions?
