Adobe Lightroom 5, a photo organizer and advanced photo editing tool from Adobe Systems Inc., freezes while processing digital photographs and high resolution images, as reported by the
Lightroom community on random Internet forums. This article outlines simple troubleshooting instructions for layman users and professional digital photographers.
Lightroom 5‘s Standard Preview feature processes data with the help of raw engine camera. If the size of the standard preview doesn’t fit the actual computer display, it might lead to performance glitches. There are two options namely minimal and embedded previews. You can configure Lightroom 5‘s catalog settings as outlined below:
Make sure that your computer’s screen resolution best matches with the longest edge of standard preview size, via the Catalog Settings as discussed earlier. As an example, for a standard preview sizing 2050 pixels, the best matching screen resolution would be 1920*1200 pixels.
Thanks to the developers, there are tons of customization settings to dramatically improve application performance in Lightroom 5. The default camera raw cache, a folder that holds temporary contents required during application runtime, is 1GB. However, this cache size is insufficient for most professional photographers at times. You can increase it further depending on your requirements.
If you’ve got a single hard disk, select a different drive with large free space to store the cache contents. If your default cache location is primary hard disk, change it to secondary hard disk, and vice versa. If your default cache location is a removable storage drive, e.g. a USB stick or a Memory Card, which is quite slower compared to an internal hard disk, use your HDD to store the cache contents.
Tons of images in the program catalog gradually slow down application performance.
