Starting to like shooting like this... no need pan -> high hit rate. Only problem? Tarak bokeh like those f/2.8!!!

Wah red disc brakes, I don't have such shots T_T, been shooting more of the head on LOL

I'm on i7-3770, 16GB and SSD... so far so good

, not that much faster compared to my previous E8400 and SSD... but well when generating the SDE damn fast!

16GB of RAM <-- but it doesn't help much my LR gets sluggish when it hits about 3GB RAM usage... wonder why it doesn't use more of it... I'm already on 64-bit system.

I'm using 120GB SSD SATA 3, basically my files are saved on HDD, but the cache and catalog are on SSD.

Definitely, running on LR 64-bit.

To be honest I don't remember... I didn't buy new GC for this PC, using my old 4870 GS, should be 1GB vRAM.

Tried, but no significant differences. My OS installed on SSD, and my virtual memory is on SSD as well, but rarely got usage since I have 16GB RAM.

I used LR and PS on my friend's system, similar to mine but he has a GTX280. Also same feel ._. You sure GC plays a role here?

If you're referring to CGI etc, I agree. But we are now talking about Lightroom.

*not sure how old is the GTX280, but should be higher end than my HD4870.

You must be using some high end graphics card I assume?

From my experience, I shoot with both D700 and D800 in NEF 14-bit lossless, basically during post processing as I arrange the images based on shoot time I can't exactly tell if I'm editing on 12MP or 36MP... feels similar to me in terms of speed and system responsiveness, but I have a habit of generating all the 1:1 previews ready. And yes I use a lot of spot removal too + brush layer ever since LR4 and now LR5 I rarely get into Photoshop unless I need liquify.

I'm on 7, 8 didn't catch my attention yet LOL.

Awaiting for the MBP Haswell to arrive... at the moment my notebooks aren't powerful enough But I was thinking if my desktop with i7-3770 also not that smooth... I wonder how would the MBP perform :S

My PC is assembled last year, all new except GC is old. Using a Corsair TX650M.


Yeap, but its the only few with IPS screen. I actually prefer Windows, but haven't seen one with IPS and good price. I mean if the Windows is going to cost as much as a MBP, might as well buy a MBP?

But at the moment waiting for Haswell, since its around the corner. Just don't like buying Apple items when it has release for sometime since its close to EOL. I always buy them when they release, "last longer".

Awesome tip, will try this out

Btw, another way to "speed up" would be to disable automatically saving to .xmp which I read somewhere. Downside, if you are halfway editing and LR crashes, you loose your edits. LR5 isn't as stable LR4 on my system, maybe due to the .xmp saving perhaps?

Yeap, same as me! But I'm waiting for the Haswell to arrive instead, definitely grabbing a 15" MBP.

Besides, Apple logo looks more up market LOL! Well, just saying

My parent's room TV is a 50" IPS wor, but light bleed damn jialat -.-

IPS and VA is very common among those LCD TV actually, I haven't seen any TN tv yet.

Sounds interesting, what's the price like?
