DPP 4.18.10.0 Editing RAW files is really slow

[mysql]

Hello,

I have laster version of DPP 4.18.10.0 and when I want to try edit RAWs from my R6 Mkii it is hell slow, quick google search pointed me possible option to enable Use GPU processing but I don´t have this option in Preferences/Image Processing 2.

I have 1080Ti with lastest drives and I don´t think this is "slow or old" card (yes there are faster and newer ones but still).

So is it realy caused by old video card? 

Thanks for helping :-).

Hello mysql,

I would start with verifying that the system is up to the task. When processing images from the EOS R6 Mark II, It is recommended to have an Intel Core-i series CPU 3.4 GHz or higher, with Intel Core-i7 or later being suggested for Windows and Apple M1 for MAC. On computers equipped with an Apple M1 processor, the software runs under Rosetta 2. 4GB of RAM or more, with 8GB being suggested and a minimum of 600MB of hard drive space available.

Hello John_Q, I have i7 7820x (that is 16 core 3.6 GHz base clock CPU with boost to 4.3) I don´t think this could be problem, hard drive has plenty of room (around 100GB), for RAM I have 32gb, GPU was already mentioned 1080ti by MSI. Lightroom or C1 runs totaly fine without any slow down at all and also as I mentioned I don´t see use GPU checkbox in DPP options (yesterday I tried to "force enable GPU" by editing DPP config but no luck there either). I have no idea what could be wrong.

Thank you.

I have slightly lesser configuration - i7-6700, 8 threads, 32GB RAM, 1050Ti w/4GB RAM.

I'm not sure which benchmark to compare to, but for a data point a 20GB 1D X Mark IIIRAW takes about 5 seconds for an auto selection in the Gamma Adjustment window.

As you found, the later versions of DPP don't have a checkbox for use of GPU. Don't know if it's embedded automatically or not available anymore.

All of my images are on local drives. Are you connecting to external drives or network systems? I have read where that can sometimes be a problem.

Maybe Rodger will see this. He is very well versed in use of DPP.

I am also not sure how to benchmark it but your config is close to mine.

Images are on local hardrive, no network, no extrenals.

Maybe lower version of DPP would do better? no idea

Thank you

What processing step(s) are you feeling are slow? I can try the same steps on my computer. 

[mysql]

Basicaly anything I do takes much longer compared to C1 or LR - longer meaning there is delay when action is done when it is "rendered" on screen/photo, and also my CPU goes crazy (it gets load on it), fans start spinning faster.

Longest takes changing picture style (not what I would use to edit photo, but this with gamma adjustment and curves

I suggest you download the free version of Ccleaner and use it to do a registry clean after you delete your version of DPP.

I never had speed problems with DPP but did have some issues that were cleared up by Ccleaner.

aah no no Ccleaner 😕 not my favourite app anny other suggestion? 🙂

It works for me. You will need to find your own.
