[QUOTE="wornish, post: 379233, member: 15434"] That does seem extremely slow. I imported 120 raw files yesterday from my camera via USB and it took less than 5 minutes on my iMac (not the latest spec) running LR 5.6 I don't do any conversions on the initial import though I keep the files as NEF and move them onto my hard drive the average file size being about 38MB. My LR catalogue is quite small only around 3GB as I don't use 100% previews in general. I have read on the LR blog that very large catalogues with approaching 50,000 pics in them used to slow the system down but I thought this was fixed in earlier releases. How many pics are in your catalogue ? A good test would be to create an empty new catalogue and try the import again to see if its LR or something else. [/QUOTE]
