Читать книгу Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic For Dummies - Rob Sylvan - Страница 32

I previously mention the File ⇒ Optimize Catalog command and just want to provide a little more detail. If you have a large catalog and notice that it seems sluggish, an Optimize operation might give you a performance boost. Using the Optimize command reorganizes the data in the catalog and removes unused space. The end result can be a smaller and faster catalog file.

Choosing the Optimize command opens a dialog displaying the last time the operation was run and gives you the option to proceed by clicking Optimize or bail out by clicking Cancel. If you choose Optimize, it runs the housekeeping functions on the catalog and then displays a confirmation dialog that it has finished. All you have to do is click OK to return to using Lightroom Classic.

The whole Optimize process was originally put in place by Lightroom Classic’s designers to speed up slow-pokey catalogs, but I’ve seen circumstances where Optimize has corrected problems ranging from catalog exports to identity plates, so I regularly include this as a troubleshooting step for people with strange catalog behaviors. If you are new to Lightroom Classic, you probably won’t need this for a while, so just file it away for the future.
