Hey @Brian, there is no way to buy a legit key for Windows 10 anymore, is there?

Yeah...probably. Windows 11 still needs more time in the proverbial "Oven." I'm not touching it until I absolutely have to, and that's in 2025.
Downgrade without losing data? Unless you JUST upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11, it's not very likely. Too risky. You would have to Nuke your main HD and install a fresh OS. What I would do is purchase a 1TB SSD Drive, like a Samsung 870 and swap out the current main drive. This way you can always go back in time if need be. I'm not sure how licensing will come into play, it is possible you can use the existing license key with Windows 10 that came from Windows 11, provided that it's the OEM Version. But you might have to contact MSFT on this one. Or you can install a copy of Windows 10 Pro and not activate it to see what happens with LR before you commit. I also highly recommend Windows 10 Pro, as it's easier to install things locally, (tell it you want to join a domain and then don't,) as the current "Home" editions FORCE you to add the license key to a Microsoft Account. I'd hate for you to spend $199 for Windows 10 Pro when you don't have to.
FML... *sigh*
Thanks again, Brian.

Especially if you have a high Mega-Pixel count (45MP or more, Hell...even 36MP is high.)
If you are able to run the NVIDIA Studio Drivers meant for your 3070, it should work fine. But you might want to call Adobe on this one. I'm kinda out of ideas.Dude... I'm on an R6 LOL...
I did get the specific drivers from Nvidia...
Would Windows 11 be the problem too? It is also certainly not acting the same as 10. There are some weird things happening. Can I downgrade without loosing data? Do I need to purchase 10 separately? I stupidly went straight for 11...

@Brian would there be a particular reason why disabling the GPU in the performance tab made increased performance a little bit? I feel my rig is pretty damn slow considering what I have. Sometimes it cant take up to 10 seconds to just open the masks section. Am I hallucinating?
Also, would adding more RAM help?
And yes, GPU drivers are up to date.

Yep! That’s what I wanted you to do. Are there any other drivers for your Motherboard? Specifically the Chipset Drivers?
So... I updated these drivers yesterday and noticed now that my keyboard and mouse take some time (about 30-45sec) to "start working" on my log in screen.
Is that supposed to mean anything? LOL

There was something with the chipset drivers with the latest date of Oct. 2022. I downloaded it and installed anyway. We'll see what it does.
-
Just to confirm... I did notice an improvement after updating the drivers using Nvidia's. I don't know if it made a difference, but I also updated the mobo's bios also. Everything seems to be going well for now.

You'd be surprised on how Microsoft loves to "Butt-In" on your existing drivers.
What in the actual fck? LoL

If you were a Gamer that Streams and a YouTuber, I would. For editing photos. Nope. Skip it.
Figured... so I skiped it.
Side note... would you please allow me to buy you some tacos? I've played with this thing for a few minutes and so far I can tell a difference. One would expect Nvidia to install those drivers on its own... why wouldn't they!?!?!
Thanks again, Brian!

Thank you very much!
Should I care to install the GeForce Experience thingy?

The RTX 3060.
There is about a 30% performance jump if you would have went with the 3070. 3080 is a little better and a 3090 is a waste of money when it comes to Adobe’s Products. So I always recommend a 3070 or 3080.
I think there is also another set of drivers from NVIDIA that works better. Might want to start there.
Man! I don't know what the heck I'm thinking... I do indeed have the 3070.
Where do I exactly get or choose from those drivers? I thought that stuff was standard...

I just build a system in hopes I'd get zero lag whatsoever with Lightroom, but for some reason every now and then still happens to lag a bit with simple tasks. I'm sure the program itself is not perfect, but with the set up I got, I was hopping to run as smooth as butter.

I can't discuss class matters outside of class; and the colour of your photo is definitely a Raw Class issue.
I guess I'll take it as it is problematic LOL.

I... did not know that. Thanks though.
-
What about color? Does it look accurate to you?

Hey Damien,
Just stopping by to show you how I edited a photo for you to check on color and brightness after I just calibrated my monitor. You helped me on this on FB. I know this photo may not be edited up to your strict standards, but feedback on the color and brightness is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
-
I am ready to upgrade my monitor (plus didn't notice it is not mountable 😒), and I went to Damien's guide. It was updated back in March and I was wondering if there has been anything worth mentioning that is out now (besides de fact that half of the monitors in the list are not available anymore).
I'm looking at this Acer monitor. Would it be suficient?
Thank you! -
I actually found the problem (oversaw something dumb). I had set my compression set to ZIP in the external editor settings. After changing it to 'none' again were good to go. Thanks!

Hi @Gera I've moved this thread into Brian's area, because this sounds like it's out of my league.
I did think about posting there first. Thanks!

Hello,
I recently got a new rig and I noticed some things that I am not entirely pleased with in Ps (questions will come soon). The most notable one here is that when saving a doc, it takes 4-5 times as long as it did before. What did I mess up?
-
Alright... I'll fix it later and reupload.

This is just a brightness/darkness issue.
Yay? So, it is over exposed, isn't it?

Yeesh.
Have you got a calibrator yet?
X1 Rite Pro. Being partially color blind doesn't help either...
Why is Lr lagging at times?

@Brian, just wanted to come back and report on this issue. I decided to install Win 10 Home and my goodness... what a difference! Now I feel good about the money I spent on that machine. Everything runs great and fast! Who would have thought Win 11 would suck that much (at least for me).
Thanks for your support on this matter.
