The Smart Previews have generally been good enough for my needs. Although I’m not sure if that will continue to be true of 48 MP files since the Smart Preview doesn’t seem to have near the same resolution. I’ve found that it makes it hard to decide if I can aggressively crop.

I’ve found LR CC to be buggy and laggy. There have been many times where I’ll adjust a photo only to have LR CC drop the edits once it refreshes. It also will sometimes show me the Downloading spinning ring for a photo that I have just viewed or have already viewed many times. The only way to get rid of the ring is to change to a different photo then back. Sometimes it will show me a blocky low-res preview for a photo that I’ve already viewed many times.

I’ll probably just switch to Mac Photos if LR Classic ever goes away or gets a big price-hike. LR CC just isn’t compelling enough for the price without LR Classic as a companion.
