[Leica] Anyone having trouble with the new LR beyond importing?

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

My experience has been that with 6.2.1 I could no longer make video slide 
shows.  It would get about 10% through the process then LR would just shut 
down.  Bye bye.  Someone on the Adobe forum tried to help, but all his 
suggestions did not solve the problem.  So, I am back to 6.1.1 and happy.  I 
will not load any new version until I have had the time to read comments 
about it first.

All said, I still am a LR fan  since version 1, and cannot fathom myself 
using anything else.  I am sure Adobe will get their act together again.  I 
just hope they continue the stand alone version, or change what happens if 
you ever stop subscribing to CC.

I?ve been on the road with my wife the past few days, visiting my son his 
wife and my grandson in DC. Great trip.

I brought along my MacBook Pro - a LOADED MBP - running the latest version 
of OS X El Capitan and the newest version of LR and Photoshop - the object 
of this being some photo editing with my wife?s help of the images I took in 
Africa. Going through 9,000 photos plus an hour or two of video is more 
difficult that I thought. Making those into a set of coherent stories is 
even more difficult.

LR has made the process a total disaster. I thought to do a bit of 
keywording but using the spray can results in either hangs or simply strange 
behavior. I?ve shifted to full screen mode and then had the side panels 
render simply as gray spaces requiring a restart of LR.

There?s more. I?m going to have to figure how to to most effectively 
complain to Adobe about this. I?d like recommendations on how to do that.

Has anyone else had this problem? I?m running on a new installation with all 
new software installed. I have 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of SSD. I don?t think 
it?s a hardware issue.

I?d welcome thoughts.

Thanks!
