[QUOTE="Revet, post: 379231, member: 17612"] Ever since I downloaded the newest upgrade for Lightroom (now 5.6) my import speed is very slow. For example, yesterday I imported 60 Raw photos and it took over 4 hours. Prior to the 5.6 version is was much much quicker than this. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue??? Here is some info on the hardware and settings: I do keep my photos on an external hard drive which is a USB-3 type. The hard drive is only 10% full. My catalog is also on the same external hard drive The computer is a Dell less than one year old. I can't remember all the parameters but it was a high end computer for Dell ($1400) I import RAW photos from a Nikon D3100 and convert them to DNG format (no copies made) I do create 1:1 previews but that is not the step that takes a long time (The 60 photos took about 10 mins to do 1:1 previews) I do not create XMP sidecar files, all other metadata boxes are checked in the Catalog settings. My cache size is 3 gigs, the catalog size is 17 gigs Everything else is set as default Lightroom settings. Thanks for any help [/QUOTE]
