problem with catalog

Françoise Nayroles
Hi
PROBLEM catalog C1  : If I ask for « all pictures » C1 needs 30 or 60 seconds, and often wheel rotate for a long time. I may sort from one collection to an other very quickly (2 or 3 seconds). All is OK but tha.

CATALOG : 15000 pictures JPG only, size 2000 pixels for largest dimension (RAW are on an other place)
PREFERENCES C1 : auto for OpenCL

MacBookPro Sierra (Retina 13 pouces, début 2015) 3,1 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GO
(Same problem on my MacMini)

Sorry for my bad English !

    Hi,

    Did you upgrade to Capture One 11 already? Should be much faster.

    Is you catalog stored on a NAS/external harddrive or locally?

    No catalog and pictures ( jpg) are on my internal SSD (512 go)

    Try removing the “Filters†tool from the “ Library†tab
    If that does not fix the problem, it is easily restored.
    If it does significantly improve speed then I will explain and discuss workarounds.

    Are you previews for the jpgs set to display at thier 2000 pixel original size or is there any upscaling going on the the Retina display? (Assuming it has greater resolution that the originals.)

    My retina is 2560 x 1600
    Now my pictures are also 2560 max (before I reduced to 2000)
    I tried an other catalog with 1800 max, problem is identical.

    Do you think It is better to conserve original pictures (4000 x6000) ? It is possible with my new Mac and its SSD 512 Go

    Thanks for your attention.

    I don’t think your problem is related to size of previouw, or size of image - I have not heard of such effect on others.

    I'm afraid it's the catalog that causes the problem. It loads all metadata and it appears it doesn't do this as efficiently as Lightroom, to phrase it coolly understated. That your files are jpegs isn't relevant in this case - it's a database problem. I've been moaning about it for quite a few releases and it is better now than it used to be but still isn't quite there yet.

    Of course I could be wrong, but seeing 15K images in a catalog combined with my experience, all kinds of bells and whistles start going off and it's not pretty music they make 😉

    I have 16000 images in my main catalog and it works quite OK. Maybe if I was a busy professional photgragher I would demand a little more speed, but then I would have a better computer as well.

    I found that they keys to acheiving good performance are:
    • Put the catalogs on an SSD

    • Remove the Filter tool from the Library Tab

    • Remove unsupported images from the catalog
