November 13, 2022 - 1:10 amExcellent video. Have you tried configuring light room and photoshop with gpu use? Would be interesting to see this again configured like that.

November 13, 2022 - 1:10 amThanks a lot for your interesting analysis! We get an idea how Photoshop and Lightroom work. It helps me to decide how I will upgrade my sytem.

November 13, 2022 - 1:10 amHallo Greg, I got your new update v 10.6.0. I noticed that the writing in the buttons is not in the middle. Why is it so ?

November 13, 2022 - 1:10 amLightroom is a single code application.. the only time it uses multicore is when you export

November 13, 2022 - 1:10 amIt took a photographer to make the probably best explanation on the entire YouTube on this topic. Not even the multiple tech channels get it across like this. Thanks a lot!

November 13, 2022 - 1:10 amWhat I'm trying to figure out is whether the 24-inch M1 iMac can handle 86mb RAW files from my camera. Some of my Photoshop working files are 2gb+, and I find myself waiting up to 20 minutes for saves on my current computer, even though it has 32gb RAM.

November 13, 2022 - 1:10 amHello and thank you for the informative video. I am looking to purchase my first MAC and will be using Lightroom. I understand the M1's use of unified RAM and it is shared between the CPU and GPU. The part I am not understanding is how with only four applications open, one of which is a web browser home page with no other tabs, is that you are using all of your RAM and already in the swap file. What exactly is using all that RAM? I get the cached files but 24gb to 25gb of RAM used seams a bit excessive for so little running. Even though the pressure is green, I would say 64gb would be needed if the RAM used is that excessive.

November 13, 2022 - 1:10 amThis is brilliant, I was only looking for this information the other day, and I, and Iβm sure many others, will really appreciate the methodology to apply to everyoneβs personal circumstances.

November 13, 2022 - 1:10 amIβve got the top of the line 27βiMac 10 core i9 with 64gb ram and with the 5700XT 16vram. The ram is always cached to the max for some reason. Litghtroom very slow to build 1:1 previews.

November 13, 2022 - 1:10 amGreat video Greg… I think there is one other aspect of this that people need to consider when choosing their next computer – What their normal use-case is.
For example, if you are a wedding shooter and you move 1,000 files through the computer on a typical week, but you aren't shooting a lot of high resolution images and you aren't doing a lot of HDR or panoramic file processing, I suspect that the RAM isn't going to be where the most benefit will be for you. Importing, file conversion, creating thumbnails, and saving plus exporting will likely be one of the most signifacnt workflow tasks. Some of that may be CPU, and some will be in the strage (although SSDs are so fast now that this is not a problem like it used to be with HDDs). However, if you are saving over a network… it will be much slower.
However, if you shoot landscape and don't shoot tons of images, but when you do shoot, you mke HUGE high resolution panos or do a lot of file combinations for astro shooting, you may really benefit more from a RAM upgrade because the files will be huge to begin with and once you add a handful of layers… they get immense.

November 13, 2022 - 1:10 amwell said and explained. it is unfortunate that we donβt have a proper automated benchmark to reveal more clearly what we, the 2d professionals, need in our systems.

November 13, 2022 - 1:10 amI wished that this is done using MacBook pro with M1pro , would you do that for comparison?
