    "Loading"

    jrsforums Community Member
      Can someone explain why, in the develop module, there is a "LOADING" indication (delay) of 5-6 sec. when switching from image to image...and there is no delay in the Library module.

      Environment: Win/XP, LR 2.2, fairly fast AMD dual core, 10K drives, 5D2 RAW files (big).

      Thanks...JOHN

          Because the Library module uses the pre-rendered JPEG previews, while the Develop module uses the far larger raw data and then renders from that.

            Thanks, LJ

            I am sure there is a good reason why the develop module works this way.

            I know the "workflow" is suppose to review, rate, etc. in Library mode. Then, go to Develop mode to work on the "selected" images.

            The flow I would like is to basically do a one phase pass (except for images needing detail work). This would be to go to the develop mode and step through the images, rank, and do simple development (but more than the controls in Lib. mode, which I find difficult to use).

            Unfortunately, the need to do the initial rendering...actually re-rendering, I think, since the jpeg has already been rendered...makes stepping through the images too slow.

              Use the quick develop tools in the library to do exactly what you want.

                Thanks, Tom...

                ...but as I said above, I find the library "develop" tools difficult...i.e. cludgy...to use.

                Plus I can not apply any presets there or anything but (most) of the basic tools, so I am going to need to go to develop mode at some point anyway.

                  You can apply presents in QD, and holding Alt changes Clarity and Vibrance to Sharpening and Saturation.
