ATT nospam: Photos, iPhoto, Lightroom and Aperture speed test
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5izwXtUGzAY
Computer: 2013 mac Pro (Garbage can) with latest 10.11 El Capitan, 3Ghz 8-core Intel Xeon E5 and 16 GB of RAM. Storage media: Externally connected SSD drive (Blackmagic speed test: Read: 387 MB/s, Write: 344 MB/s) using Thunderbolt. All applications use the same photos in their respective libraries, except Aperture that is opening the iPhoto library. Every single photo is stored on the SSD drive. All applications were pre-launched prior to the test, to benefit from any cacheing it could be doing. No cold-starts vs. hot-starts so to speak. The result, if you'e too lazy to view the video: Launching Opening image Editing image ------------------------------------------------------------ Photos 30s ~2s ~2s iPhoto 9s ~1s Instant Lightroom 6s ~2s ~4s Aperture 5s Instant Instant So, the verdict: 1. Winner: Aperture As I've said all along, Aperture is the speed king when it comes to handling huge photo libraries. It launches quickly, and "cheats" a bit when scrolling where it shows a dotted outline, but thumbnail loading is very quick. Handles images *instantly*. There is no wait involved anywhere where it does something. Open an image? Boom, you're there. Want to edit it as well? Do it, you're al ways in edit mode! 2: iPhoto On second place, iPhoto. Takes a while longer to launch, but inside the appli cation, it scrolls through tens of thousands of images like a hot knife through butter, showing full thumbnails all the time, every time. Opening an image takes less than a second, and editing it is instant. A good runner-up to the Aperture speed king. 3. Lightroom Lightroom has good launch speed, but is slow when viewing and editing images, so switching in and out of preview and/or develop mode a lot? Well, expect to do some waiting around. With Lightroom CC 2015, the scroll speed has been sig nificantly enhanced, and now (finally) matches iPhoto speed. It falls short (speed-wise) when it comes to most everything else. 4. Loser: Photos Not even a worthy fourth place. It's super slow to launch with 40k photos, and scrolling is buggy and uses super low-res fuzzy previews if it doesn't blank them out completely. Uses the same "cheat" as Aperture, only does a worse job at it. Opening images and then editing them is a bit better than Lightroom, but when you do it a lot, it adds up to the overall slow feel of the application. As noted in the video, iPhoto has grown a bit buggy in El Capitan, for in stance, it has this huge blackened window when launched which it didn't have in Yosemite. Conclusion: It baffles the mind how Apple would discontinue Aperture. I mean, as I've now shown, it is by far the fastest and quickest photo management software on the planet (still), and imagine if it had been updated and kept on-par with some of the missing features found in Lightroom. It would have been awesome. Pity. -- Sandman |

I think that we are dealing with the Appleworks-iWorks syndrome. The Big A is simply afraid of antagonizing important "partners"... The Mac without Office and/or CC would not be that tempting to some clientele. -- teleportation kills |

Those numbers are for the new Mac Pro?!?!? That's in the territory of my aluminum boat anchor from 2006. What happened to Apple? -- I will not see posts from astraweb, theremailer, dizum, or google because they host Usenet flooders. |
