Windows 10, Most recent version of Photo, problem with batch processing


Recommended Posts

Hey guys.  I've been able to reproduce this "problem" a couple of times.  I say "problem" because I'm not sure if it is a problem, but it is according to what I'd expect to see with the application.  I'm running a batch on 39 RAW photos taken with a Nikon D800.  I'm also applying an Unsharp Mask filter during the processing and saving as JPEGS to a new folder.  I started the batch job at around 2145 last night before going to bed and checked on it when I woke up this morning, over 8 hours later, and only 5 of the photos had been processed.  I remember running batch jobs on a couple hundred photos with macros applied in just a few minutes in previous versions.  My memory use becomes steadily higher and my CPU usage also goes up steadily.  If you have any ideas for settings or anything, I'm willing to try them.

My PC is Windows 10 X64, hex-core i7, 64GB RAM, GTX 1060.

You might try:

1. Disabling Hardware Acceleration (OpenCL) in Preferences, Performance.

Or 

2. Turning off Parallel Processing on the Batch Job dialog.

Hey Walt.  Thanks for the tips.  I disabled parallel processing and it seems that this has fixed it for me.  I'm watching my batch job run on 86 photos right now and it's clicking off each one in about 8 seconds each.  Doesn't make much use of my 6 core processor, but it'll certainly do.  Thanks a lot. :)
