All of the following options come more or less free with modern NAS. Hardware and cloud plans cost extra, of course.

Hourly snapshots: for when people "accidently" delete or edit data, just to...

To anyone who thinks that 7.3.x slowed down compared to previous versions:

When I first updated I noticed that my catalog (and some "pixel") database was rewritten, which included LR reading...

Does Classic rebuild the preview cache after the update? It did for me, as in reading all image file of my main library and writing to preview and pixel db.

So let it finish its business first and...

@Thor Egil: You only get the AI features of LR CC when you use the cloud. That is because the AI features are server based, thus the data first has to be on said server.

I will now check what...

I am not sure that the usual "vignettes are easy to correct" is a proper assessment. Of course it is an easy software operation, but the correction comes at the drawback of added noise (as the lens...

Clever soundtrack!

Finally, thanks Adobe.

Please do not stop, though, there are still many areas in LR that need to be updated to make good use of modern hardware. Face Detection in one very obvious example, as it...

All those solutions that promise to make JPGs smaller usually come with a compromise. I would have to thoroughly test Guetzli, but Google's own example demonstrates that it considerably desaturates...

Perfect Resize, Blow Up, Qimage, Photoshop. What other upsampling applications are out there for me to check?

There are some filesystem tricks one can use to separate the catalog from the previews, but that's not really worth for the purpose of added performance. Once the catalog is read on startup there ...

It's mostly faster on import, preview generation and export. This is great for those people who do these tasks daily. People who only do these tasks once in a while and then need all the other ...

You mean LR Classic is better than 2015 or you mean CC is better than 2015/Classic?

I am all for it, but why not make use of my local 16 logical cores instead of forcing me to give up my private photo collection to a foreign server with foreign people having access to my stuff? ...

What about a choice whether you want to share your private photos with total strangers? This would need images to be encrypted with a password of the user's choice that Adobe gets no access to. Of ...

Well, there were some suggestions: "Adobe spokesman Scott Morris said the move to a subscription system would free the company from its traditional 18 to 24-month upgrade cycle. From June, he ...

This is not entirely true for other companies, or rather other business models. When I buy a product for a one-time fee then I give my money to a company for a finished product and hope that they ...

That was possible for over 2 years already with Lightroom 6/2015, though. So nothing really new was gained other than getting a second (not so useful) desktop application alongside the Classic ...

This is not entirely correct. As long as your images are not uploaded you are working completely offline. You can even deny LR CC access to the web and work with the local data. There is a cave-at, ...

My current main usage case is non raw data with a final resolution of 663 mp. And even for smaller raw data I may prefer the clearer lines of "Perserve Detail 1", depending on the content. Still, ...

The option I meant is part of the Transform options in ACR and LR, it can be used from within PS by using ACR as a filter. It also works with non raw files. The option you mean is part of exporting ...
