Hey Guys,
I am trying to import my entire photo library (about 550 gigs of photos) to a new master catalogue in Lightroom 5.5. While the initial import took a while (a few hours), the process of generating smart and standard previews for the files is taking forever. I have been building the previews for about three hours and am less than ten percent done.
I have a 1.8 GHz Macbook Air with 8 gigs of ram running Mavericks 1.9.3. I have 70 gigs of space (out of 120) available on my computer so I should have plenty of room the previews. The 550 gigs of photo are on a connected WD MY Passport External HD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!
Toby
