Lightroom - How Many Images Can You Burn At A Time?

[sonicbuffalo_RIP]

....before Lightroom gets bound up? I tried to burn my whole collection of almost 5000 images shot in jpeg, and it was taking forever to "getting the files ready to burn", and my laptop got way too hot. I know it depends on your equipment (laptop), but just wondering if there is a good number Lightroom can deal with comfortably?

I think that would depend more on the laptop specs... jpegs are relatively small, so burning a lot of small files will be much slower than a few huge files.

As for LightRoom specifically, I have no idea, but I would be interested to know just how many photos with post-adjustments the catalogue can handle.


PS - Where's your name glow? Still not appeared?

You're burning them on a CD?....They have USB sticks now in the 21st century.

As for my glow on my name.....jdeg still hasn't found a way to give me your 2000 points and then I earned another 1000 so I'm 3,000 short. I wish he would give them to me....I'd really like to use them.....thanks for giving them to me....and for jdeg for working on the problem, but it's been over a week....geesh!

That thought has crossed my mind, but if I burn them to disk, I can watch them on my TV through my CD/DVD player

I've got a 16GB Macbook Pro that cooks when I'm importing D800 images, converting them to DNG's and building Smart Previews. Adobe has never been known to take it easy on CPU's, and it's likely doing as much work as the processor will let it, so just let it cook away.

Thanks Jake.....mine has gotten so hot it has shut down a few times....but not last night...I cancelled it when it got hot....will try letting it cook next time.

I have read articles where people have over 100,000 photos in their lightroom catalogue. Apparently it starts to slow down a bit when you get over 30,000 I have a long way to go to get there.

5200 in mine, so a while yet!

Well...thanks to all of you, I let it simmer for a while and it ended up buring over 4600 today.....thanks....from now on, I'm shooting just RAW.....jpegs are ok, but RAW is much easier to work with.

Have you ever tried a laptop cooling stand? Or perhaps vacuumed out the air flow vents on the laptop to ensure the best ventilation possible?
