Performance issue
I am still testing C1 as replacement for Aperture.
What bothers me most is the "bad" performance of C1. For instance using the clarity slider always takes a while till the result is shown on the preview. Its not seconds but still 100s of ms.
On the other hand I did a test with LR6 on the same computer (MacBook Pro Retina early 2013) and was just impressed. Using the slides gives immediate response.
I tried it with openCL support on/off, on gives better results but is far from being perfect and still far from LR6s performance.
When using layers it can even get worse. Drawing the mask has to be done very slowly because C1 can not catch up with the mouse movements.
What about the others? Don´t you experience lags as well? Any solution to this?
I did open a support case with PhaseOne, because I do thing the C1 should be able to have a similar speed as LR6.

I have a mid-2011 iMac with 20 GB of ram and 21" screen. My images are 24 MP DNG files from a Pentax K-3. I notice some lag like when I'm panning in 100% full screen view or when I am brushing in a layer but it's not something that impedes my work. Maybe it doesn't bother me because I work slowly and carefully. There was only one time I really ground my computer to a near halt. I had nearly 100 spot removal circles and 15 layers consisting of both healing and adjustment brushed in. My computer got really hot and the fans turned on. Then I had some very noticeable and annoying lag. Still, it wasn't so bad that I wanted to stop what I was doing.
Some people (not you) mash the sliders back and forth at Warp 10 expecting the software to keep up. It won't.
I am an amateur/enthusiast who enjoys photography for personal growth and pleasure. It's shutter therapy. 😊 I'm not in a rush and I don't need instantaneous dynamic results like a professional in a studio with a client watching over their shoulder. My requirements and demands may be much more relaxed. I'm also not ready to buy a new and more powerful computer yet.0 -
Yes, I'm experiencing the same issue on a Mid-2014 Macbook Pro Retina (13''). Pretty much everything (panning, slider adjustments, brushes) is very stuttery. After every adjustment a low-quality version of the adjusted image is displayed after a fraction of a second, but for the high-quality version I often have to wait a second or more.
This is with 24MP images from the Sony A7ii. Lightroom on the other hand works extremely smoothly with the same images.
I've tried with and without OpenCL acceleration, but if there is any performance difference it's too small to tell.
Maybe it is a problem with this particular macbook model, e.g. the graphics driver?0 -
Idem here but then on a MacBook Pro Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013. There is a massive difference between editing in Full Screen versus just having the tools visible. As soon as the image is not full sized, so either the tools or browser is visible, it is okay. Certainly not Aperture speed. 0 -
I have similar issues on a full scale iMac Retina 5K w/ all upgrades and 32GB mem - everything is really slow. I can work, but realtime is something different. 0 -
Open Support Cases as I did. Maybe PhaseOne will start on focusing more on the performance issues.
Aperture is rocket fast compared to C1, and even LR6 is faster.0 -

LR6 has only just been released and the publicity for it made a great play of how much faster it is supposed to be than LR5.
If you compared C1 and LR5 (a reasonable comparison as both are developed to perform on Windows as well as Mac) how did performance seem then?

On my Mac's, all of them, CO is considerably faster than Lr 5 and Lr 6. 0 -
LR6 now uses GPU for some functions, it was primarily introduced to help with 4K and 5K displays which caused performance issues when introduced. I use LR and CO on non Retina displays and they both function similarly. I have the GPU switched off for both apps as I notice little difference with them active (mine are quite old ~ 2009)
There is an article on the Adobe website from Eric Chan (camera raw engineer) that explains it.

My guess is the large HD (4K, 5K, Retina) displays are causing this issues in CO presently. I expect to buy a new 5K iMac at the end of the year so I'm hoping things will be better by then 😊0
