HI.. I imported all of my photos currently 40k pictures and this program seems SLOW and cant handle the volume.
UNlike Light room which I can jump from folder to folder.

I'm I doing something wrong? I even built a new pc with 16 gig memory and a I7 processor and still the same issues as my Dual Core.

Any turning suggestions?

Hi Ron,
Another question: How much space does your C:\ have left after importing your 40K pictures? Any error message you can share with us?

Just so you know that we've tested importing 50K and the result was ok.

Brandon

Hi Ron,
Try increase the size of Preview Cache and set Preview quality to Minimal. Good luck!

I've posted before on this same subject. I have about 80K photos and performance is non-existent on an extremely beefy computer I built not so long ago.
