Best Practices for Lightroom performance
It's 2020. If you are a Lightroom user, now is a great time to take some steps to reevaluate and optimize your Lightroom catalog. Here are my 2020 LR performance tips:
01 When buying a new machine, get at least 32GB RAM. 32GB is the new minimum.
02 When buying a new machine, buy a big, fast Solid State Drive (SSD). Having 30-40% of that drive open ensures both its performance and longevity. Don't run an SSD close to capacity.

Every copy of Photoshop since the betas
They kinda screwed up the alphanumeric sequencing with CC but heck, I want to see what happens next.
