Lightroom Classic Running Slow on M1 Macbook Pro
Last month I finally got my new 16" M1 MacBook Pro (exact specs below) and Lightroom Classic is running very slow on it. The main reason I upgraded from my 2012 MacBook Pro to this one was because Lightroom was running slow on the outdated machine. All of my photos that I work on are stored on a 4TB Synology DiskStation. Importing and exporting photos, editing and generally moving around within the program takes forever. I'm so disappointed that after spending a small fortune I'm having the same issue I had on a 10 year old MacBook! I've used Lightroom for many years and don't want to switch to another editing program. Is there anything that can help it run faster?
