Whilst these Lightroom Performance Tips are not necessarily Fujifilm specific, I thought it was worth posting here for those that want to get the best out of Lightroom from a performance point of view.

It's a quick run-through of 17 Lightroom Performance Tips and is a collation of all the things I do on both my more powerful studio PC and my less powerful laptop.

Some of these tips are obvious and other less so and some you may already know about but if there is the odd one that helps you further then that's great.

Even though I use Lightroom CC, these Lightroom performance tips and tricks should work across all versions of Lightroom - even the non-subscription versions.

Thank you so much to those that have subscribed to my YouTube Channel.

I really want to build a channel that not only I enjoy curating, but more importantly, gives you useful information.  Some of it will spill onto this website, but not all.  I'll keep F16 more tips and art based.

As always, please feel free to leave questions below about this lightroom performance tips video or anything else.

I do my best to answer all comments that require answering. I appreciate your support and if you feel like sharing then I'll buy you a pint :-)
