RapidFixer installed but it is extremely slow

[Louie Sherwin]

Hi,

I just installed RapidFixer for the first time. After viewing the video I was excited to start using it in my workflow. The installation was easy but when I started using it, it is taking at least 5 seconds for each adjustment to appear in thumbnail. I went back and looked at the video and sure enough the changes appear as quickly there as they do when I am using camera raw.

I have tried a couple of things but the response is still very slow.

1. Installed it in Bridge CS3
2. Cleared and rebuilt the cache for the folder I am working in.
3. Turned off "Build 100% Previews" in the Bridge preferences both before after clearing the cache.

The result is the same. I click the 1.0 down arrow in the exposure and the system clock will tick off 5 seconds before the thumbnail changes.

I am hoping it is something simple but I am at a loss for what it might be. My system info is my signature.

tks, louie

Louie,
Are you using DNG files with "update previews" chhecked in the ACR settings?  If so, it wants to rebuild the DNG each time you make a change.

Thanks Peter, That's exactly what was happening. So if I have to turn off building previews to use RapidFixer what is the easiest way to rebuild all the previews after I am done adjusting a set of photos?

Ok I found it. In the Camera Raw dialog in the setting fly out menu there is an option there to "Update DNG previews".
