38 hours batch !!!!! can I reduce the time ? - toni-a - 11-29-2010 38 hours that's what took my PC to convert 1035 50D raws, of course you understand this is a huge amount of time... I was converting them with DPP, applying distortions, vignetting and CA removal also. I have a standard 3GHZ 1GB ram PC, I know that's not enough but the time spent seems outrageously excessive Is it DPP ??? CS5 needed much less time (4 or 5 hours) to resize and sharpen all those pics 38 hours batch !!!!! can I reduce the time ? - Guest - 11-30-2010 [quote name='toni-a' timestamp='1291068573' post='4582'] 38 hours that's what took my PC to convert 1035 50D raws, of course you understand this is a huge amount of time...

I made the switch from this system, Intel Pentium 4 2.6GHz FSB133 HT 1.75 GB DDR2 RAM Geforce4 4200 graphics-card Windows XP 32-bit which took Lightroom 2.5 all-in-all 175s to process 9 RAF Fuji S5 raw files without modification. Using my new system, Intel i5-750, a native quad-core processor from the new Intel I-Core series + motherboard with Intel I55 chipset 4GB of DDR3-1333 OCZ Platinum Ram ATI Radeon 4650HD graphic-card with 512MB 128-bit Ram Quiet coolers for the CPU and graphic-card Windows 7 64-bit the time for processing the same files with the same settings under LR 2.5 took 18s, an increase in speed of about 10x. I later added another 4GB of RAM, but haven't seen much use of it so far as I seldom open multiple files in an editor at the same time. Christian 38 hours batch !!!!! can I reduce the time ? - miro - 11-30-2010 Hi Toni Similar results I have measured with ACR /factor x10/ when I switched from 1. AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 1,5GB DDR 266. Pata HDD 120GB . WIN XP 32bit to 2. AMD Phenom II 955 + 8GB DDR 3, 2 HDD Samsung F3 1GB. For my private work I’ve never use batch processing. However such huge amount of pictures I have only during the weddings shoots. I shoot always JPG + RAW. 1. My first step in workflow is to reduce number of pictures. /factor x3/. E.g from 600 pictures ->200. 2. Later on I look how I can make album with these 200 pictures. The result is less than 100 pictures. 3. Further I chooses max 5 images that I really good and post process them manually I need such powerful PC only for my landscape/macro images where I use advanced Photoshop techniques.

DPP isn't the fastest, but that really seems slower than it should be. My 2.2 GHz core2-duo (mobile T7500) needs about 15 seconds for one 5D file, when running on battery (it is faster when plugged-in). That is for a simple conversion. I'm not sure how much the extra processing you did will add.

Possibly you're using some very slow aspect of the application. |
