Poor Develop module performance on new retina iMac

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 09 Nov 2014 21:42:11 GMT

All of the Develop module operation are extremely slow on my retina iMac. This machine has the 4.0 GHz processor and upgraded GPU. It should be very fast, and in fact for operations such as import, export, and preview creation it is. But for Develop module functions it is much slower than my Mac Mini and my wife's Macbook Air. When moving adjustment sliders, there is a delay of a second or more before the effect is seen on screen. The same operation on the other computers is nearly instantaneous. I am running version 5.6, but I went back and tried it with version 4.4 as well with the same result. Can anyone give me advice on how to proceed? Apple support says contact Adobe, but I haven't found any way to contact Adobe directly; I keep getting directed to the forums. Thanks.

Jerky scrolling in Grid View on Retina iMac

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 09 Nov 2014 00:28:36 GMT

Running Lightroom on a top-of-the line retina iMac, scrolling in grid view is extremely jerky when using magic mouse. Paging using the page up/down keys is fine. If I move the grid to a different monitor, the scrolling is nice and smooth. At least one other person has reported this issue. Has anyone here seen this? Any ideas on how to go about resolving it? I have no idea whether this is an issue with the machine, OS, or Lightroom.

Print to File watermark is missing drop shadow

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 05:10:40 GMT

I'm trying to create a jpeg file that includes a watermark with a drop shadow. The watermark is included but without the drop shadow. I tried this in both Lightroom 3.6 and 4.0 with the same result, so I'm guessing that there's some technical reason for this. Is this the case, ad if so is there some other way to accomplish this? I can get the drop shadow printing to PDF, but it's a pain as I have to convert the PDF to jpeg and do some other tricks to get the resolution that I want.
