Running Luminar 3

I'm running a mac pro i9 9900k 5Ghz 16 threads with 32gb memory on high sierra and it still takes 14-15 seconds to load a converted DNG raw file from a SSD drive. I can't load my original CR3 raw files (but that's for another post).

It's incredibly frustrating. Lightroom loads the images instantaneously. Please help asap.

Hi Clement, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

We are aware of the performance and speed issues and most of them must be resolved in the upcoming update. It will be released in a month.

For now, I can recommend you to have your images on the Internal HD and try to minimize the number of images in your Catalog.

Hope for your understanding and patience.

I was a big fan of Luminar for a while but this is not good IMHO. I changed to Capture One more for its greater ability at "expert" level stuff (although I am not an expert). But I did find that Luminar was slow and their "fix" a while back was to show partial results faster without really finishing the load. I do think it's a good app for quick, attractive and reasonably flexible PP.
