To many presets hinder Lightroom performance?

9 years 1 month ago #431880 by Mike Ayrouth
My LR5 is DRAGGING lately and the only thing I have done recently is download a bunch of presets. Is there a chance that these are slowing LR5 down?

If so, how many presets can you have before performance starts to get effected?

Sounds like you might have something else going on, I use presets and notice no difference in LR performance at all.  When's the last time you ran virus scan?

Ha!  That's what I was thinking, the computer performance might be overwhelmed.

That's good, at least you were able to nail down the cause and move beyond it
