Note though it will restore your layouts to default. This has been known to remedy things one would not normally associate with layout. Can you post a screen shot of that screen?.įinally, from manage mode, you could try View/Reset Layout. Before you do that, go to the dashboard, and open the Database tab.
The other thing to try is doing a Tools/Datebase/Database Optimize. That can slow things down significantly.Īs a test, you could try turning off Face ID, and perhaps also ACDSee Indexer and see whether that makes any difference If you are using Face ID, then I wonder whether ACDSee is trying to process items in the face ID queue. So if yours are taking around 13 seconds I think you can probably rule out hard drive transfer rate., From click on View to image open and decoded less then 1.5 seconds. Start ACDSee U2022, select external drive then folder in Manage mode folders pane, then select thumbnail then Click on View. These images are stored on a Seagate USB3 external hard disk. I am wondering whether a reinstallation might help.I've just tried a number of RAW Fuli images, some from Fuji XT-30 which are around 56.3MB files (6240 x 4160 images), and some from Xpro-2 which are around 53.8MB files (6000 x 4000 images). Most of my images start out as Fuji RAW files which are anything up to 30MB.
One SSD has programs and Windows 11 ( Could windows 11 be an issue, I wonder) and the other contains recent images which I am more likely to be working on, Older images and therefore the bulk of them is on the conventional drive.
I have two SSDs plus a normal hard drive. 32GB RAMġ x 1GB M.2 NvMe and 1 x 2GB M.2 NvMe SSD's (test images above on the 2GB SSD) Intel i7-10700 CPU on Gigabyte H470M DS3H board. By today's standards it's probably around mid range.
Incidentally I don't class my PC as as super fast. Perhaps someone that has a really slow PC could try some of the variations. I can't really tell with any accuracy what difference some of these things might make, because the time to switch from Manage mode to Develop mode with 24MP raw images from Sony A7 and A9 cameras is only approx 1.43 seconds on my PC, and reaction time on stop watch buttons would cast doubt on any differences. I would expect that to take some finite amount of time depending on the complexity of the previous development changes. With both both RAW and for instance JPG images where xmp sidecar files have previously been created to record changes made by develop tools, and the settings used, then those changes have to be applied to show show the image as it currently is. The pixel size of the RAW image would have some effect on both the read time and the basic develop time, and perhaps other things like whether automatic lens correction is being applied to the image. The data transfer time to read from the storage device, and whether that is being affected by antivirus settings. There are also possible variations even just moving from one image to another. If you have the film strip pane enabled in Develop it also has to produce the 12 or 13 different thumbnails it shows in that. There are possibly other factors in play as well. When you just change from one image to the next within Develop mode, it has a lot less to redraw. When you select an image and switch from Manage Mode to Develop mode ACDSee has to completely redraw the screen. Once you have switched from Manage to View or Develop, changing to a different picture is reasonably fast.That is probably to be expected.
This seems not to be the problem of opening a picture but rather of switching modes.
