[QUOTE="nikonbill, post: 846008, member: 47024"] Additional thoughts - If your PC has a standard HD and not a SSD that could be a limiter for sure. For food for thought you could contact a trusted suppler of PC's for Photography (such as B&H) to see what their thoughts are to help with the slowness of light room. Someone like that could clue you into what will run on your current PC and if you need to upgrade what you really need. If your game to something new Affinity runs well on modest hardware. Register only a valid email with canva and its free (without the AI enabled) in Affinity's case their AI does not have a great impact on photography editing. Should you try it let me know there are Affinity settings that "can" cause instability but they are all part of Affinity so no danger at all to any other apps on your system. The biggest hold back I hear is the lack of a "catalog" I have always used the standard windows file explorer myself. XnView MP has cataloging and I use it for culing (just not the catalog part).
