Hi Rich,

The video linked by Jeffrey looks like a good resource.

Personally, whilst I have played a little with Photo A, I don’t have enough experience to compare its velocity with Lightroom Classic.

I’d suggest perhaps not all your photos require denoising?

Another tip to speed up LR Classic (outside of AI features use) prior to editing a series of images:

-select the images you intend to work on (could be a dozen or hundreds)

-go to Library > Previews > Build 1:1 previews.

If you’ve selected hundreds of images, you might want to go and take a coffee, but when you come back, Lightroom will be much more snappy because all these images will be fully “unpacked” in your cache.
