I’m new to RT, so I’m not sure if what I am experiencing is a problem.
Saving a processed RAW to a JPEG or TIFF is taking about 90 seconds. During that time processor usage is running at 100%, as is RAM. It isn’t pretty… the mouse icon is frozen and RT sometimes disappears from the desktop for a moment.
I’m running RT version 5.3 64-bit on a Dell Desktop with an Intel 5 processor and 4G RAM. No other programs running in the background - RT is hogging all the resources for most of that 90 seconds.
Well, that was a totally different experience. I downloaded the file, and it opened in RT pretty quickly. I applied the Neutral profile and saved the image. The processing took a couple of seconds, and there was no abnormal disk usage.
With the file I had problems with, I followed the ‘basic’ editing steps outlined in the RT introduction - adjusting WB, colour, sharpness and cropping. I suspect that file might have been bigger than the 10MB you shared, or my changes were too big for my 4GB RAM to deal with without resorting to the swap file (as heckflosse suggests). If its the latter, I guess that means more RAM is in order.
Does anyone know if 4GB RAM is now considered insufficient for basic editing in RT?
