C1 Slow - Crash

Carl Cullison
Less than one week, new user to Sony and C1 Pro for Sony --- Used LR since it started.

I am looking for some recommendations, pretty slow on processing and I have already had to force quite a few times in a week.

Using 2011 MBP i7 2.3 hz -- 8 GB of ram, video card is 1 gb (AMD Radeon HD). I use the internal display and sometimes an external Dell 24 inch (old)

Possible improvements;
1. Increase to 16 gb - This is recommended but my system is old but I love the 17 inch size
2. Replace graphics card to at least 2gb - not sure this is possible but can check
3. Preview size is the default 2560, I can reduce to 1920 -- I would expect minimum improvement
4. Use Sessions vs Catalog -- I have very few files in the catalog now -- two folders total of less than 500 -- 42meg RAW photos

Any recommendations to get me by until I can by a new system to improve performance significantly, crashes?

Thank you.

BTW -- I am loving Capture One vs LR -- I am not sure the quality improvement is from Capture One or new sony. The profile and initial conversion of the RAW file requires much less processing. When LR comes out with support for the camera, I will try but I would like to stick with C1

    The Spec sound a bit margin for best performance but crashing is a different matter.

    Make a Support Case and get the C1 support team to help you assess the log files. Hopefully the files will help to identify what is happening that you do not want to happen!

    1 - Could be worth a try if you find a good deal on some quality used RAM

    2 - While it is 'technically' possible, it's by far not worth the bother. The chips are soldered, you can't buy new chips, and even if you could you'd have to reverse-engineer quite a bit of hardware and software.

    3 - Due to the nature of how C1 works with previews (raw proxies), it's faster to have an equal or higher resolution preview than the screen size. (It will parse the original raw file if the preview does not meet the screen resolution, most likely resulting in slower performance)

    4 - Perhaps. Sessions can be less database intensive.

    If you don't have an SSD already, definitely get one! I find impossible to use a laptop hard drive with a modern operating system.

    Thanks, I will have to see about a SSD and RAM upgrade.

    I am having trouble exporting my folders with RAW files that have been processed under a catalog to separate sessions and keeping the adjustments.... so I may continue using a catalog.

    You'll be amazed at the difference even a cheap SSD does. I recommend the Samsung EVO Pro series, although the cheaper (current generation) EVOs are quite good (just make sure you get a SATA one).

    On breaking a catalog up into sections, yes, that is not very practical. I would not recommend, but I actually did it myself for my personal work. Things that I can easily edit again if needed.

    One tip that I found out on my own is that you can open a catalog and a session at the same time(several actually; I had 10 sessions and one catalog open at one point), open the same set of images, and manually copy adjustments from one window to the other.

    I appreciate the tips, both on the SSD and ability to open sessions and catalog (then copy adjustments). It really should be easier to import/export between sessions/catalog but I can live with this. Performance for some reason is good.
