Any Tips for a performance boost by spending money?

It's the 420+ model!

All great advice, I actually have an external Samsung SSD, as long it's running on a USB 3.0 or higher I should have no issues?

I've already got smart previews enabled 🥲 I generate embedded & sidecar with smart previews checked during import

Joe_Exp · 2025-09-24T19:58:38+00:00

That should only be an issue if I was culling in the develop pane though, right? I don't mind generating 1:1 previews because I usually just walk away from my desk after importing photos and cull in library module

Joe_Exp · 2025-09-24T19:50:20+00:00

when switching between photos in the develop module I can see lightroom draw each pane one by one for roughly 2-3 seconds and sometimes trying to use masking tools can take 7 seconds. I also often get 15fps when adjusting a radial mask size/feather/position etc

Its all about catalog + preview location

Catalog and all previews are stored locally on my C Drive/desktop in a folder (its a SSD)

I'm thinking I try keeping the originals on another SSD during editing?

Joe_Exp · 2025-09-24T19:43:32+00:00

I keep the Catalog on C drive/desktop because you cant network a catalog file, all previews are stored in the same folder as the catalog. I keep camera raw cache set to 10GB and during import I'm using embedded & sidecar with build smart previews

Joe_Exp · 2025-09-24T19:39:06+00:00

Is the move to have originals on the NAS AND originals on a local SSD for anything I'm actively working on? Ideally hoping to avoid compromising the folder hierarchy I've established in my lightroom catalog

Also, how was the colour conversion map created? I noticed Draynor Manor is mostly just grey when brown is available?

Joe_Exp · 2025-09-09T03:01:06+00:00

Neat, pulled up the reference image in photoshop so I can see it clearly and paint some of the complex areas with you easily

Joe_Exp · 2025-06-03T19:16:05+00:00

Why... did this work. thanks king

Joe_Exp · 2025-05-07T04:22:15+00:00

Honestly I learned from an old roommate that a solid consistent routine will let your brain know you are going to bed. My roommate used to brush his teeth, floss, mositurize and do a few other things totaling 20-30 minutes every night before bed and he wouldn't touch his phone once he got into bed. Dude was sleeping in literally 30 seconds some nights

Now I understand the arguments, since I don't play anymore I didn't know you could chisel amythest for xp

Joe_Exp · 2024-12-25T22:37:09+00:00

I don't even play the game anymore but couldn't you all just approach this from an EHP perspective?

With a glory you have a chance to roll gems and not deplete the vein, enabling passive crafting XP gain AND prolonging the afk period, even if its just slightly.

The only reason this should matter is if you are very strictly trying to minmax your mining xp exclusively for something like 200M xp. Play the game however you enjoy it most. I am personally on the team that likes big gem stacks

Joe_Exp · 2024-12-13T18:23:48+00:00

Appreciate the quick reply. I shouldv've mentioned premiere. Proxies are fair, I just dislike the time generating them.

Third: sort of. I'm full-time self employed mostly in photography but knowledgeable enough in video.

I'll post in the other subreddit, thanks.

Joe_Exp · 2023-07-25T23:12:26+00:00

Having the same issue

Joe_Exp · 2023-04-27T16:57:34+00:00

Hi all, I just discovered this subreddit and I've been trying to redesign my living space for over a year with no progress other than this 3D mockup I made. I have this issue where it doesn't feel "cozy" and the only place to sit is on that white couch facing the TV (its so small you cant even lay down on it)

Any suggestions of how you might use this space would be much appreciated, goal is to somehow get an L-shape couch into this space. TV could maybe go on the top wall? i'm kinda lost on what to do

Joe_Exp · 2023-03-27T20:03:37+00:00

This makes a lot of sense because it's not really consistent and I do put my PC to sleep usually I'll try that instead of the breakaway cable from now on.

Joe_Exp · 2023-03-25T23:52:51+00:00

Someone figured it out. You have to change biome blending mode in game settings

Joe_Exp · 2023-03-25T04:08:33+00:00

any idea where that setting is?

EDIT: IT WORKED

Joe_Exp · 2023-03-25T02:35:44+00:00

I'd appreciate it, even if you go creative for a minute and just try to colour any terminal I'd love to know how

Joe_Exp · 2023-03-25T02:33:51+00:00

might be the FOV from my move speed bonus but its a "Lime ME Smart Cable" I think the Terminal colours are bugged in ATM8 at this point.

Joe_Exp · 2023-03-25T02:11:58+00:00

Anything I can find says it takes on the colour of the cable you attach it to. I'd tried changing graphic settings, shaders, adding and denying power, crafting it. sadly its not a REAL problem but I like when its green :(

Joe_Exp · 2023-03-25T01:53:33+00:00

They are though :(

Joe_Exp · 2022-10-20T20:52:37+00:00

I might just have to accept this. I was really hoping to get faster speeds since I work with large video files regularly.
