Just migrated from C1 to the new Light room and overall I am very happy with the workflow & quality. I especially like the HDR merge into a DNG file, given the dynamic range of the camera I am using (Pentax 645Z) it is probably overkill but depending upon the subject matter, the merged HDR.dng gives me a bit more DR to work with.
My issue is that when creating masks with the adjustment brush there is a bit of a lag in performance, no spinning beachball but certainly not what I am used to when painting a mask in photoshop.
I have disabled graphics processor acceleration and that has helped a bit but there is still a lag time between when I paint the mask on my wacom and the results showing up on screen.
Would a newer/ faster computer help? right now I am working on a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch Early 2013, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB Memory, 750 GB Apple SSD drive with 200GB of headroom on it.
Would any updates to this computer do the job. I am thinking of getting a mac mini since I already own bunch of monitors and various accessories and perennials that I can use.
Any feedback would be very much appreciated, Thanks!
