Make sure that you have a large enough hard drive and enough free space. Working with too little free hard-disk space can cause poor performance. Make sure that the hard drive that stores your Lightroom<\/strong> catalog, previews, and image files is at least 20% free.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Also know, why is my Lightroom classic running so slow<\/strong>? Check your hard drive space If your computer’s main hard drive is running<\/strong> low on space, Lightroom<\/strong> will slow down, as will any other programs that you’re running simultaneously, like Photoshop. Your main hard drive needs at least 20% free space for Lightroom<\/strong> to run optimally.<\/p>\n Subsequently, how do I make Lightroom CC run faster? <\/p>\n You asked, will more RAM make Lightroom faster? Just don’t go overboard\u2014even if your processor can support it, 128GB or RAM may not run Lightroom<\/strong> any faster than 32GB or 64GB unless you’re really overloading your system elsewhere (*cough* Google Chrome *cough*).<\/p>\n Additionally, how do I optimize Lightroom Classic for best performance? <\/p>\n For most photographers doing the routine tasks in Lightroom, 16GB is enough memory to have it perform really well and leaves enough room to run other programs at the same time like Photoshop and a browser.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n If Lightroom is left open in the develop module, the memory usage will slowly increase. Even if you put the software in the background, or go off and leave your computer and come back later, the memory will be slowly increasing, until the point where it starts to cause problems with your computer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
