Lightroom 2.3 released

Great :thumbs:, thanks for the head's-up :)
 
Excellent.

I un-installed 2.2 and went back to 2.1 because 2.2 grabbed virtually all my memory and ground the machine to a halt. Can anyone confirm whether this problem has been fixed in 2.3?

Cheers,
Andy.
 
What's your computer's specifications? I've had 2.2 since I moved back to LR, and I never noticed it slowing down my machine.
 
Quad core Intel Q6600 with 4Gb of RAM and WD Raptor HD. More than capable with LR2.1 but runs like a dog with 2.2. I saw many others complaining of this issue at the time but like yourself many had no problem whatsoever.

I wonder if this will stop the problem I've been having where LR will only import a few of my photos before telling me it can't import the rest. tried uninstalling and reinstalling, not a camera problem as works fine on my laptop but it is really tedious...

Time will tell!

Actually, while in the shower and thinking about what you've said, I realised that there were a number of times when I was cursing my new 17" MacBook Pro. for lagging a bit .. and this only seemed to happen in LR!

You may have solved something for me .. or made me aware of something, which I was OK with, so far :)

Aha, just found the release note. http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Lightroom_2.3

It talks about a memory leak when files have local adjustments. I do have a few files with local adjustments from a studio shoot so that could be it.

Andy,

That memory leak only happens whenyou open the photo with local adjustments in Develop module and use the brush. It does not happen on the photos with existing ones especially when there is already a high quality preview generated. I.e. if you edit one of the photos with local adjustments then it will leak some memory. But if you restart LR and won't develop that photo again, it won't leak. So you might have something else entirely...

Ah, b****r. Maybe then. It definitely got slower and slower and memory usage increased considerably. This was without making local adjustments though. I guess I'll just have to give it a crack and see what happens. 2.1 runs perfectly.

To me it's quite an opposite. My LR 2.1 was slow: Develop module took ages to open and localised adjustments were really slow despite all Nvidia card hacks I read about on Adobe LR forum. Installing LR 2.2 cured it all and it really is fast and responsive. I have done a fresh install - cleaningh up all the preferences from all previous LRs.

It does ecventually slows down when I used a lot of local adjustments and edited quite a few photos during the day once. But not anywhewre near as unreasonable as it was with 2.1.

My PC was Vista 64 bit on Dual Core Pentium 4 (3 years old) + 4GB of RAM and SATA RAID. Not the fastest machine either - but seems fast enough with LR 2.2.
 
From the release notes there doesn't seem to be any significant changes for Mac users.
