RAW files incredibly slow in Finder - OS Yosemite

[Jiyangc]

Just updated to Yosemite on a Macbook Pro 13'' Unibody from 2010. Viewing Nikon RAW files has been fine in Mavericks but now with Yosemite it is incredibly slow switching between photos in Preview (busy icon). I have tried deleting RawCamera.bundle and RawCameraSupport.bundle from /System/Library/CoreServices and installing Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Versions 5.07, 4.06, and 4.03 to no avail.

Anyone have the same problem?

Yup same problem

My two pseudo work arounds are...

1. Immediately import the raw files to Lightroom and let it generate smart previews (much much faster)

2. I used to never shoot in any form of jpg but now I shoot in raw+basic jpg, with the jpg files going to the second memory card. The small jpg files open significantly faster in preview. I delete them all (jpg) after I import into Lightroom.

It is just another issue with Yosemite that makes the OS not ready for prime time.

PS. I am not sure if Aperture would work as well... I suspect Apple has an issue with their Camera Raw Implementation in Yosemite and Adobe does not have that issue...

Glad I'm not the only person with this issue as when I searched the forums I didn't come up with much. I usually do a general edit in Preview before getting the RAWs off my memory card and onto my hard drive, but now I just get it all onto my HD and use Lightroom. Different workflow but works nonetheless. I hope they come out with a fix soon!

Let me know how it works out for you...

Solution?

So today I went to the genius bar with exactly this problem. They told me to go to Disk Utility, choose your hard drive and click Repair Disk Permission.

Before doing this, previewing RAW-files took 3-10 seconds, now I view them almost instantly. Hope this works for someone else too.

Same problem here. What camera and raw-format are you shooting?
D610
Lossless compressed 14-bit
~24mb per file

This worked really great for me! Thank so much
