Dear Luminar-Team,

I'm still not satisfied with the performance of Luminar 4.1.0.
I installed today the update and Luminar is still very, very slow. All other software (Photoshop, ACDSee) runs fast.

I edit a RAW picture and the export tooks 3:10 minutes!

RAW; 30,6 MB - export JPG: 6.17 MB

MS Win10
x64
Intel i5-5300
8GB RAM
Intel HD Graphic 5500

Regards
Christian

  Oh my goodness, Thanks for your support! Great!
  An i7 is not good enough? This was my choice for the next Laptop.....

  I haven't the money to buy an Cray-System. :-D

  Downloaded your sample files: Your .cr2 file on my 8GB ram Win10 desktop computer took 1:43 minutes at 75% quality to export to jpeg. I then tried a .cr3 file from my camera and it took 1:55 minutes at 75%. I guess we both need newer hardware. I know I do. That said, I am rather certain Skylum can do more to improve performance, even on lower end hardware.

  Note: On my Surface Pro 3 (Win10 8GB ram, I-7 processor, SSD drive) it took 1:30 minutes at 75% quality to export a .cr3 file to jpeg.

  @Christian: More ram is the single best thing one can do to improve performance and a fast CPU processor/video card are a close second. A solid state drive can definitely improve load time. As I indicated in my previous response, there is still much room for Skylum to improve performance. As a comparsion, using Lightroom CC I was able to export a .cr3 file to jpeg is 6-7 seconds.

  On my Windows 10 PC with i5 processor, 32 GB Ram and 6GB VRam I produced, from your image, a 28 MB JPEG (100%) in 21 seconds.

  I am using a cheap(€80) AMD Ryzen 2200G and exporting your RAW image took 7 seconds to export JPEG 100%(75% was 5 seconds).

  AMD Ryzen 2200G

  16GB Ram (running @ 2993 Mhz)

  SSD

  No GFX card, using internal GPU from Ryzen 2200G

   

  I am running insider WIN 10 2004(Build 19041.1)

   

  Exporting on version Luminar 4 version 4.0 took more than double the time (about 16 seconds)

  RAM was no problem using less than 2GB

  All the best,

  Robin
