I'm using version 6.8 and abandoned the 5.x versions long ago because the processing (to my eyes) is the same but the speed and batch processing make it MUCH faster...

QUESTION Why do y'all prefer the 5.x versions? Does it run better ...? ...

In any event, the 6.8 that I'm on does something annoying that I havent encountered before: the thumbnails are initially presented normally, but then after a file is developed, its thumbnail's colors go completely wonky. The look is similar to color film where the the colors are reversed....

Hi, Scot.

I have noted that 6.8 runs a bit faster than 5.X in normal processing, especially when saving. I don't do any batch stuff.

To your Q: Yes, it (5.X) runs "better" as described in the first post here: that it can see and read ALL drives, both internal and attached to the computer, otherwise I'd be happy to run only 6.X, and not have to shift my files to an external drive to be seen.

I can't help with that thumbnail problem, and have not encountered it.

Thanks,
