I'm thinking that in order to reduce the amount of time it's taking to generate thumbnails and previews, I should split the large folders into a series of smaller subfolders, each with a much lesser amount of images in them. Would the free up RAM memory feature of CleanMyMac help? I did try viewing another folder after hitting the Free Up button but it didn't seem to improve the situation or the time it took to do. Is it the size of the folders that's causing the problem? Or the age/RAM of my Mac? Both? I've double-checked that I have my Bridge preferences settings as per Damien's recommendations in the class.

My problem is that the CPU load (that I'm viewing using CleanMyMac) goes up to 85% (and sometimes higher) while Bridge is generating thumbnails and previews, and as a result my Mac is heating up quite quickly (up to 75 deg C, according to CleanMyMac) until the generating process is done, which for a larger folder that I looked at this morning (3500 files) took about 9 minutes. The images are organized into folders by year and often can contain several thousand images. I have my images archived on a 5TB external hard drive (that has 3.45TB available) and am viewing those images using Bridge.

The last time I shut down was last night. Its hard drive has 621GB free out of 1000GB. I have a Mac laptop running Sierra 10.12.6 and Elements 14. Can you help/have any ideas with the other issue I'm having? I originally posted this yesterday in the Bridge Class forum and Damien answered my question at the bottom about what happens when I purge the cache in Bridge.

One more question - I’ve kept all my EHDs to the 75% full or less rule ? but I’m wondering if I should partition the EHDs with Time Machine backups (so that it’s only possible to fill it to 75% before TM starts overwriting old backups). Plus others, but I think? these are the more intensive hardware/software that I’ll need a computer to handle. Memories Suite (layout software for photo books)

The Spyder X Pro calibrator that you recommend Possibly an Epson flatbed scanner (Perfection v500 Photo) I’ll still be using (and I’ve checked that these are all compatible with Catalina…and hopefully Big Sur):įujitsu Scansnap iX500 for document scanning I’m not aiming to use PS CC so I’m hoping it’s possible to save a few Canadian bucks by being able to go to lower specs on the iMac. I’m just about ready to buy a new iMac, finally! I’m working through your pinned iMac Configurations post but I’m wondering: would you recommend different specs for the iMac 27” for Photoshop Elements 2020 (rather than Photoshop CC 2020)?
