How the Bridge/Camera Raw kicks Lr’s A#$$
by Andrew Macpherson on Jun.11, 2011, under Off the wall, Workflow
Lightroom is great, don’t get me wrong. This is about what’s missing or could be better.
Lightroom is slooow. Let’s be honest, Lr is a huge memory hog, and would benefit massively from being able to use a real database.
Lightroom does not know the difference between orientation and aspect ratio, it thinks that landscape, portrait and square are aspect ratios; ever tried to find your panoramas in Lightroom if you havn’t tagged them? As managing and sorting images is a major part of Lr’s remit this is a major failing.
If you use multiple machines it’s essential to write the metadata to the file or an xmp sidecar.
It’s nearly impossible to run Lr & Ps on a 4G MacBoook Pro at the same time
