Performance and Usability issues on Microsoft Surface 4

[mclewley]

I was wonder if anyone else has seen the following issues with Lightroom on a Surface Pro 4.

1. Very slow when changing specific levels; Sharping, Saturation, Vibrance, etc
2. Extremely slow when using clone/heal operations
3. Slow when trying to toggle the brushed areas
4. Can be slow when brushing or erasing

Anyone have any tips?

Hi mclewley,

Does it help if you uncheck "Use graphics processor" from Preferences>Performace in Lightroom? Please take a look at this article Adobe Lightroom GPU Troubleshooting and FAQ

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Overall there is an improvement when unchecking this.  What is not clear is that according to the article and information provided my graphics card which comes with the Surface Pro 4 is supported and it passed OpenGL use.

Please ensure that your GPU drivers are up-to-date.

There is an improvement for some but not all areas.
