Also, actions like panorama stitching, HDR photo merging, the adjustment brush and spot removal tools do not seem to get any boost here. Let's start with the smallest and most restrictive color space shown here, sRGB. These folks provide CPU delidding and binning services. Given that this is quite an overclock, I should probably mention the idle and load temperatures. While this is great for less tech savvy Windows users, it's annoying for me.43. Maybe I'll find a use for it one day, but for now I need Cortana to recede. Just something to hold me over for a year or two until a great 5K display came out. But at least now there is a new "DisplayHDR" standard to help you identify what kind of display you're working with. But this may be temporary — it seems like search on Windows is gearing up for a nice upgrade. Most monitors do not display anything near 100% Adobe RGB. That would mean fewer photos imported, fewer photos that need to have previews generated and so on. It was a bit of a close fit but ended up working out. When I played The Climb for the first time. Fast Raw Viewer lacks some of the advanced culling features and is more focused on being a RAW viewer. You can specify how much of your local drive to give up for the photo cache and Lightroom CC will selectively remove and download photos when that cache gets filled. The latter will load a lens profile if one exists to correct any distortion (like barrel or pincushion) with your lens. I also didn't like that the native animation to switch desktops felt a bit slow. Despite the confined space, there are considerably more air cooling options for the Ghost S1, and they've been put to the test by Louqe themselves. I have some mixed feelings about the Start Menu though.37 First-class overclocking support: There are a few things I like to see in a board I plan to overclock with, even a bit: Aesthetics: Definitely further down on the list of wants, but I'd like something fairly discrete without a ton of bright red RAM and PCIe slots. In addition, any performance improvements gained on new hardware are often then negated when upgrading to newer and newer cameras that shoot higher megapixel photos and higher resolution and bitrate videos. That's why historically SVG defaults to sRGB, and CSS only supports sRGB (that's just changing now). Local corrections, such as Gradient Filter and Adjustment Brush strokes. Having spent most of my adult life in information technology, I have always been building my own PCs. These corrections can also be done first if desired. Adobe even recommends a particular order of operations in the Develop module to speed things up: The best order of Develop operations to increase performance is as follows: Once I've adjusted each shot to my heart's content — and gone back and forth over each shot multiple times — I happily initiate an full-size JPG export. While I was initially concerned this case might be a bit larger than I wanted, I ended up being rather pleased with it, especially the mostly black/gray theme with the internals. It's a vicious cycle. At some point, desktop processors began shipping with thermal paste instead of solder to connect the CPU die to the IHS. I can already game at 4K 60fps no problem with this single GTX 1080 Ti. A custom PC for my photo-editing and development is definitely still the right choice for me. So cramped. It’s unclear as to what exactly Lightroom … It took a while to find the RTX 2080 Ti in stock at the time I was looking for it, and in a 2-slot version that would fit in a small form factor case. It seems like I would be able to achieve a better overclock with the 6-core i7 8700K than I would with the 4-core 7700K, meaning I could have my cake (extra cores) and eat it too (overclocked for a high clock speed). Even if you only use the regular Cortana search the default screen for that is always trying to get you to do something else and trying to show you what else it can search for. I had heard so much about the crazy performance of these tiny new PCIe NVMe M.2 SSDs that I had to try one. As I mentioned above, the list you see in the Camera Calibration » Profile dropdown will vary depending on your camera manufacturer. Here's more on the topic if you're interested. And well, it's really not possible to find really fast, low latency RAM in anything larger than 16GB sticks; even that is a challenge. That’s over 7x performance you would be getting with an NVMe drive! 13 And then the ridiculous $3,000 Nvidia Titan V based on the Volta GV100 architecture was released with even better performance, though aimed more at the AI and machine learning developer crowd than the gaming crowd. But now with DDR4 the bottom lever does not move and is locked in place so you have to put that side in first, cantilever the RAM down to the other side and then lock the lever in place. When you shop for RAM, you typically see 3 things: size in GB, speed in MHz (like DDR4-3200 for 3200MHz) and finally latency or timings, typically shown with four numbers like 14-14-14-34. In a nutshell, it is lots of trial and error: increase the CPU Vcore voltage a tiny bit, increase the CPU multipier a few steps, see if it boots and is stable, repeat until unstable, then back down until stable and lower voltage as necessary. Well that and because BCLK overclocking is tricky and can easily cause system-wide instability from RAM to devices on the PCIe bus. 709 color space on the way to Rec. 15 Depending on what kind of cryptocurrency is being mined, either Nvidia or AMD Radeon GPUs may be preferred. The iMac and MacBook Pro were copying from and to the same SSD whereas the PC had two SSDs that I was copying between as I was moving the files to the dedicated SSD I use for Lightroom. With Photo Mechanic you open your folder of RAW files then browse through them and tap a key to tag (select) any shot you want to end up importing into Lightroom. With more complex subjects, such as trying to tame two similar but slightly off leading lines in a photo, Lightroom has the guided transform feature. On the completely opposite end of the spectrum compared to Lightroom, Adobe Premiere Pro has much, much better multicore efficiency. So that leaves us where we started last year when I wrote this article: building a custom Windows 10 PC is a fantastic option for those desiring more power and the ability to continually and easily update the performance and capabilities of their computer as they see fit. 47 If you're doing heavy editing on a particular photo, like with the adjustment brush, you may want to disable this, do your edits, then renable it at the very end as there are some accuracy and performance costs associated with this. Overall though, Lightroom does not make the best use of many CPU cores. Finally, about 2 months after I had packed everything, I was able to build the computer: Okay got it functionally built today. For me that means a simple Ruby and Node development environment. Maybe they wanted to cater even more to digital video content creators? While it has not been a massive difference, Lightroom Classic does seem to be markedly improved at using additional cores, especially with respect to the Develop module where I spend most of my time in Lightroom. The criteria for picking a good power supply has become a bit more stringent with power hungry graphics cards (modern graphics cards can use much more power than the CPU) in the last few years. There's one more wrinkle in this: we're talking about DDR, which stands for Double Data Rate. 23 Not sure if you have a wide-gamut display? I wasn't concerned with overclocking just yet but did setup the boot drive order and disable SATA as I didn't have any SATA devices connected. However, if this isn't a major consideration and you just want the smoothest editing experience possible, then the Intel Core i7 8700K is still our go-to recommendation for Lightroom. It's just some nice peace of mind to know if my machine is doing something (or isn't doing something) that I'm expecting. Thanks to the super high-resolution sensors we see today in digital cameras, a fast computer is absolutely essential for an efficient post-processing workflow when working with RAW images. I also enabled the XMP memory settings so the RAM would run at its rated 3200MHz. The only savior we have here is that the Develop module is the only part of Lightroom with GPU acceleration: Lr can now use graphics processors (GPUs) to accelerate interactive image editing in Develop. They offered one workaround for not being able to render RAWs as an option in the Windows version: just telling my camera to shoot RAW+JPEG. Though for my exact needs, it leaves me wanting more. When I'm done editing a photoset I just drag the local folder to the NAS network drive inside the Lightroom Library module. Apple is seemingly ahead of the game here (well, it's debated if P3 is good move for consumers). Enter Wox. After some research on various forums, I found Silicon Lottery. The PRO model on the other hand uses superior MLC V-NAND flash memory.16. The single-fan blower style cards tend to be fairly loud and lack some ideal thermal characteristics that I'd want for such a card, especially one I will overclock. Other high-end RAM kits that support XMP settings of CL16 at 3800 or CL17 at 4000 would not beat CL14 at 3333. I hated that even the newest models were typically behind Intel's release schedule and you couldn't get the absolute latest and greatest hardware, much less be able to overclock them a bit for even more performance. While you can tweak the overclocking basics quickly with the Asus AI Suite 3 in Windows, it doesn't contain every piece of functionality. It is possible that some rogue applications could automatically accept the UAC dialog if set to any lower settings that don't fully hide the desktop. 2020 for UltraHD content.30 There are some rudimentary search filters but it doesn't appear that they can be set as the default. I want something simple but that doesn't mean I don't want to have the best hardware, support for large water-cooling radiators and expected case ammenities like thumb-screws, anti-vibration features and other noise considerations. Unlike macOS, typography on Windows leaves a lot to be desired, even after fiddling with Microsoft ClearType settings. Long ago I became acquainted with Shuttle XPC brand barebone SFF PCs and had built three over the years, including an AMD64 system running Gentoo Linux with a minimal window manager I loved at the time called fluxbox that I took to college my freshman year. I decided it was time to upgrade to something a bit more powerful. Second, this computer is so quiet! Fortunately, that was not an issue here. The frequency at which the RAM operates is the number of operations per second the RAM can achieve. In short: even if I end up converting and publishing to sRGB, I still want to see my photos as close to how they were captured as possible and have control over the proofing. The last time I built a desktop PC when you inserted ram, you would nudge the two locking tab levers to their position away from the RAM, then place the ram straight down to lock both tabs on place. There's a newer model of the SoundLink but it's not directional and didn't seem like what I wanted. But later that year Intel released six-core i7 8700K processor and Z370 chipset. This is a long blog post. It's possible to make filmstrip scrolling and browsing in the Library module fairly speedy by generating previews either manually or on import. There were only a few models of mini-ITX Z390 chipset motherboards out at the time so I went with an ASRock model that seemed to have good-sized heatsinks on the PWMs and VRMs, but didn't have a massive shroud that could interfere with whatever cooling or heatsink I wound up putting on the CPU. Now that we know how latency and frequency are related, we can begin to calculate absolute latency and see how it varies as RAM frequency increases. Then I stumbled on Tiny Hot Corners. With the main components installed it was time to connect the remaining power cables, attach the front panel LED and power switch cables, the front panel USB cable as well as a micro-USB cable for the Corsair AIO pump.35 While building a computer can indeed be a bit technical and time consuming, it is not a very complicated process! It's a rather bold choice for Microsoft to set as the default for everyone, but something about it does feel modern, sleek and precise. As such, it's a good idea to always get the lowest latency RAM you can find, even if you plan to run it overclocked with higher timings. First off, Lightroom Classic CC opens up quickly in about 5 seconds thanks to the 960 EVO M.2 SSD. Please keep in mind that components for the older builds might no longer be available, but if that’s the route you want to take for whatever reason, you should be able to buy them on the second-hand market for a very low price. When I began researching M.2 SSDs for this build, there seemed to be only two options when it came to no-holds-barred performance: the Samsung 960 EVO and the Samsung 960 PRO. Here's the complete parts list for this build: I ordered all the parts between December 2018 and January 2019 and was eager to build the new PC right away. This may sound like a laundry list but if we're talking about fairly high-end boards, there are a lot that meet these needs. Modern high-end computer cases actually use real glass instead of scratch-prone and flimsy lucite or plexiglass. I definitely had got some burn-in on mine). 51 When traveling I never delete the SD cards. Similarly some Windows 10 has some pop-up notifications in the bottom right corner when apps or the OS need to tell me something. So if you can wait until then to build a computer, you might have some impressive CPU/chipset options at your disposal. The first thing you notice about Windows 10 is the dark theme. Then there's my desire for some basic editing functionality during culling just to see if a shot is worth keeping. The next big update is rumored in Q2 2018 and will be a 10nm process with a code named Cannon Lake microarchitecture. The main one is this: you can't edit a file that originates from the Linux userland inside Windows. Instead, I decided to sell the A4-SFX case and get something a bit larger that could accomodate my hardware needs but still be considerably more compact that my previous desktop tower. Keep in mind that whenever you open and make changes to a RAW/DNG file, Lightroom still needs to access it. I recently upgraded my main Windows PC from DDR3-1333 to DDR3-1600 and to cut a long and number-filled story short, got about 10% better performance from Lightroom. Intel now lets you purchase a performance tuning protection plan. I did not use the standard cables that came with the PSU though. This means more distance for the heat to travel and through a less effective heat transfer agent. Since it's hard to find regular prosumer monitors right now that even list their P3 accuracy, you'll probably just want to find something as close to 100% Adobe RGB as possible. Delidding fixes that. I then installed all Windows updates, a motherboard BIOS update, Nvidia GeForce drivers, Dell Display Manager software, Logitech Options for the MX Master 2S mouse, Corsair Link software for the AIO cooler and Samsung Magician for the 960 EVO SSDs. A good chunk of my footage is now captured in 4K. It's getting better as the years go on, but it doesn't have the best coverage like sRGB. But it is definitely worth the effort! Cortana is Microsoft's "truly personal digital assistant." My hypothesis is that Lightroom Classic CC for macOS is more efficient at certain tasks compared to the Windows version. 36 I tend to use BIOS and UEFI interchangeably. I have been rendering full-size JPEG previews upon import. The first thing I do with any new Lightroom installation is move the catalog to my Dropbox folder. I didn't quite jump right into building the PC as soon as everything arrived. The triangles shown on top of this visible spectrum represent other color spaces. HSL: Sparingly, I'll find myself wanting to reduce the luminance, saturation and rarely hue of a particular color in a shot. What do six 5.2GHz CPU cores mean for Lightroom? 6 Enabling Profile Corrections has an impact on performance so it is advised to do this step last. However, that would make for an extremely cramped build (some folks would even use an external power supply!) No longer do you need to buy a cheap optical drive just to install the operating system and never use it again. Filmmaker Philip Bloom recently moved to a Windows machine. Delidding is the process of forcibly removing the IHS by applying so much lateral pressure that the IHS glue breaks and the IHS can be removed. However, some more advanced power supplies have what they call a zero RPM mode — they don't even need to spin the PSU fan(s) until the load reaches some percentage of total output. I started looking around for a Windows equivalent to let me batch convert photos to WebP and found the lovely XnConvert. I rarely use the default Adobe Standard profile and have Lightroom configured to use Camera Standard as the new default profile. My desktop usage, in order from most to least frequent, is largely comprised of Adobe Lightroom, web development for this website, Adobe Premiere Pro and some occasional gaming. First I needed to enable Developer Mode and the WSL feature. I'm not a professional benchmarker so I wouldn't say these results are totally accurate, but directionally accurate. Building previews on the other hand is comparatively all over the place. The searching continued for a case that could accomodate an ATX motherboard as well as a large 280mm radiator. But that's not really my thing. I've done several 5 shot brackets but didn't find enough value in the difference to make up for all the extra storage and time required for those. If you run a few different types of RAM through that equation, you can see the difference in absolute latencies. Memory is the next most important thing: 16GB is OK, but more is better, and pros want 32GB or more. Installing the M.2 SSDs was up next. Graduated filter rarely gets used anymore, but in the past I liked placing it above the horizon to make the top of the sky a bit darker, reduce highlights, boost contrast and clarity to make clouds pop. OLED displays currently have issues with color shift over time as well as image burn-in (remember old plasma TVs? Most photographers I know are not computer-savvy and the idea of building a PC is something that scares the heck out of them. Fluent design has a few areas of focus for how they're thinking about the system: light, depth, motion, material and scale. Here's another example: DDR4-2400 CL12 has the same 10ns absolute latency as DDR4-3200 CL16. A note about 3D XPoint: Intel has a promising new type of memory technology called 3D XPoint memory that they have started selling under their new Optane SSD brand. The Corsair Link software controls the settings of the CPU liquid cooler. Just make sure you're getting a PSU with enough connections (and wattage) to support the number of devices you need to power inside your case.22. CAS latency (CL) does not represent a time value. If you enjoyed this post, please share it with your friends and followers. Whatever, I'm fine with that. The actions I care about are all in the Develop module: things like the responsiveness of dragging around the spot removal tool or adjustment brush, as well as simply scrolling through the filmstrip with Lightroom fullscreened on my 4K display. However, until Fluent design permeates more of those legacy surface areas, we'll have to deal with some repulsive stuff like this: While my first impressions of Windows 10 might have come off rather negative, I do really like the OS. I go in there, edit some photos or do another large task then I retreat to my 13" Macbook Pro.1 But with this new PC, I pretty much only do my editing here so syncing is less of a requirement now.45 This should give me solid headroom to overclock the RAM past 3200MHz and still have a low CL even if I have to loosen it up a bit. As always, if you have any questions as you're reading feel free to send me a Tweet! Chocolately also has a GUI you can install if that's more your style. We're in this weird time of a transition away from DisplayPort 1.2 to 1.3/1.4 so if you want to run 5K at 60Hz on a PC now, you're likely going to need to use two cables. Another thing to note, if you buy really fast RAM, lets say something crazy like DDR4-4000, it could be a gamble as to whether your computer could actually even run the RAM that fast with XMP settings given that it's such a higher frequency than Intel's DDR4 supported frequency of 2666MHz and you're basically overclocking and putting stress on the Integrated Memory Controller. To beat CL14 at 3333 (8.4ns) I'd have to run something like CL15 at 3600 (8.33ns). Since the cables are entirely custom I was able to specify the exact length of each one. Spot removal gets a good amount of use. A bit of a note on AVX from Intel: Because Intel AVX instructions generally consume more power, frequency reductions can occur to keep the processor operating within TDP limits. But here we are in 2018 and Lightroom feels like a sluggish, unwieldy behemoth. Yes, you can get way more colors with a 10-bit setup: 1.07B compared to 16.7M for 8-bit. As mentioned during the SSD selection process earlier, there are different kinds of NAND memory from QLC to SLC. Your mileage may vary. But it's going to cost you, a lot. Photo Mechanic has a pretty powerful culling workflow and related file management functionality. Apple has failed to provide the option for high-performance, user-upgradeable machines for years and even the new iMac Pro continues that trend. I will knowingly compress and sacrifice a good bit of image quality to make it easier for people to load my shots in a photoset. Windows has had a neat window snapping functionality to allow quick resizing and snapping of windows to either full-screen, half-screen or corner quarter-screen sizes for a while now. This article helps you choose the best performing PC for Photoshop, Lightroom or any other image editing application. It's common for enterprise uses but not for consumer uses. Transform: On certain occassions, like having a shot of a building that was taken at a slight skew, it can come in handy to enable a perspective correction. There are two primary factors to weigh up when selecting a new CPU: the number of cores on the single CPU (two physical CPU’s don’t help much) and it’s clock speed.Lightroom makes good use of multiple cores for image processing tasks such as building previews, working in the Develop module, and exporting photos, so it’s worth selecting a quad-core processor if possible, even though other areas of the program ar… However, as I quickly noticed throughout my entire Windows 10 setup experience, everything is customizable. While the performance benefits on an Intel system outside of gaming probably don't make it worth your while to go overboard with extremely pricey RAM, just setting your RAM to its rated XMP settings can get you on your way quickly. While I'm on the subject anyways.. And when I fired up a massive virtual computer display in front of me in VR with BigScreenVR. To give you some numbers: a standard HD screen is 2 megapixels (MP), a MacBook Retina Pro 15" is 5 MP, a 4K display is 8 MP, and a 5K display is a whopping 15 MP. If you have been using an SSD drive and have been impressed with its performance, you have only touched the surface when it comes to extreme storage performance. When it comes to RAM, there's a lot more to look at beyond just the number of gigabytes. Your photos should not reside in the same volume. I find it easiest to manage ruby versions with rbenv. Keep NVIDIA drivers up to date and ensure GPU acceleration is enabled: While Lightroom doesn't put the GPU to the best use, it is particularly helpful if you're on 4K display. It has a much simpler interface. First off, I absolutely love the size of this case, even with the additional tophat. 18 In a Ryzen rig there is something called Infinity Fabric (I swear I'm not making this up) that is like an interconnect between a set of CPU cores (which they call CCX) tied to the same frequency as the memory controller. Apart from that there is one thing new about DDR4 that took me a second to realize: only one side of the RAM slot opens up. For those desiring even more customizability, there is Start10. 14 While it is impressive, there is some new technology coming soon to replace GDDR5X VRAM. So no keyboards with Cherry MX mechanical switches for me. And once you have that, you need an even more pricey 10-bit display. 32 Now if you were a professional you may care even more about things like the type of backlight as well as the uniformity of illumination and consistency of color across the display. Wireless mice are actually good now. That way I could still use the same Cmd (Mac)/Ctrl (Win) placement. Even though it seemed fine at first and definitely did exceed the sRGB color space, I began to want more control over my photos and be more future-proofed. It can do a bit more than that with various plugins you can configure. The next step was the apply a thin layer of thermal paste to the CPU. But it's a marked improvement. There are a ton of new ones coming out this year, but I don't think you can go wrong with displays from Dell's UltraSharp line. It views the embedded JPEG inside the RAW file, but you can also set it to process the RAW and render that original image instead of the small embedded JPEG. There are other related motherboard safeguards too, like if you somehow corrupt your BIOS and you can't POST at all, you can use BIOS (again, it's UEFI but half the stuff is still labeled BIOS) flashback feature to plug in a USB port with a firmware file to flash or update your BIOS. Instead of being a relatively hidden and streamlined-when-you-need-it part of the OS, Cortana seems to be more like an overbearing parasite grabbing every surface area it can. But for how fast the PC is, it only makes me realize how much I'm being held back by Adobe's subpar Lightroom optimization. I might dabble with this more this year. Likely composited shots. After a lot of searching I found some really bad apps that offered this kind of functionality. I would be lying if I didn't mention one of the main reasons I wanted to build a PC: finally having a modern full-size graphics card, for both GPU acceleration in creative applications as well as for gaming. There's a small caveat in that it runs with an AVX offset, which downclocks for certain workloads that make use of Intel Advanced Vector Extensions instructions which can be brutal on a machine. That means I don't care quite enough to use a pricey 10-bit Nvidia Quadro graphics card paired to a 10-bit professional monitor with internal LUTs for calibration with great homogeneity and extremely high color accuracy across the board like some of the NEC PA MultiSync models or Eizo ColorEdge displays. Second, if you care about bleeding edge performance and overclocking, you should find your ideal amount of RAM in 2 sticks, not 4. There are pages and pages of discrete settings, voltages, frequencies and more that you can adjust and test. Related Content. It's noticeably quieter than my previous build. Adobe added me to the prerelease versions for Lightroom Classic CC and I got to take the new performance improvements in 7.2 R5 for a spin: In short, this update brings the largest increase in Lightroom performance compared to any past Lightroom update I can recall. Large built-in heatsinks over vital parts of the chipset, especially the power management components above and to the left of the CPU socket. However, I expect the need for and adoption of SLI support from developers to change as the need for even more performance grows with future high-resolution, 240Hz DisplayPort 1.X+ monitors and VR HMDs. I don't have many default settings — just Remove Chromatic Aberration, Enable Profile Corrections47 I had them do both and I shipped them my 8700K and they sent it back out in a day or two.34, CPU has returned after getting lost by UPS for a bit. Sufficient wattage with a bit of headroom: The best way to figure out how much wattage your build will need is with a power supply calculator. You always want to preserve as much camera data to work with to stay future-proofed.
