Windows vs. Mac OS... all personal taste, isn't it, Rick? I do find Photoshop and Lightroom run smoother and faster on the couple of Mac systems I have compared to my Windows system, but I'm sure that has something to do with the way they are configured on each device as well. I also find Mac OS more user friendly, but I know just as many people say the same about Windows.
I noticed someone else on this thread said something about DPP loading all of your photos and videos in your startup folder, which slows it down. That may be true if it loads a bunch, however mine points to a specific "Temp for DPP" folder on my SSD that only has the handful of photos I want to edit at the time, then they get moved to the Lightroom folder to be uploaded into that program. So I might have 20 photos max that I'm loading into DPP at any given time.
Bottom line, DPP works great (although slow) on the few photos I actually need it for, and I don't use it often (compared to Lightroom daily use). So I can "suffer" with the slowness. 😂 Maybe I could get caught up on my reading while waiting for the program to run?
