That\u2019s where Puget Bench comes in. Puget Bench is a suite of performance benchmarks developed by Puget Systems, designed to evaluate hardware using the same real-world creative applications professionals rely on every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We built these benchmarks out of necessity. There simply wasn\u2019t a reliable way to test hardware using real creative applications in realistic scenarios. Due to this lack, we began the process of turning our knowledge of both computer hardware and creative workloads like video editing, motion graphics, and photography into a series of benchmarks to help guide users into making the most informed workstation purchasing decisions possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our benchmarks cover a range of applications, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/premiere-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adobe Premiere Pro<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/after-effects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adobe After Effects<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/photoshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adobe Photoshop<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/davinci-resolve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve<\/a>. And today, we are releasing the latest addition to our lineup: Puget Bench for Lightroom Classic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-it-works\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_it_Works\"><\/span>How it Works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Puget Bench for Lightroom Classic runs directly on top of your installed version of Lightroom Classic. Instead of approximating workloads through synthetic methods, it uses real photos and replicates realistic workflows, producing results that accurately reflect how your system performs in practice. Because the benchmark operates within Lightroom Classic itself, it automatically accounts for software changes &#8211; whether that\u2019s new hardware support, performance optimizations, or even regressions introduced by bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our benchmarks are a key ingredient in many of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/all-articles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hardware articles<\/a> we publish, but are also available for anyone to download and run. They are free for personal use, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/licensing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">paid and press licenses available<\/a> for commercial use or for access to advanced features like CLI automation, local logging, and beta releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-camera-formats-are-tested\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Camera_Formats_are_Tested\"><\/span>What Camera Formats are Tested?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Puget Bench for Lightroom Classic is designed to test a variety of tasks. At its core, the goal is to measure how well your system handles photos from different types of cameras. While no benchmark can test every possible format, we focused on four cameras that cover a wide range of users we surveyed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Canon EOS R5 Mark II (.CR3 45 MP)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Panasonic LUMIX S1RII (.RW2 44 MP)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sony Alpha 1 II (.ARW 50 MP)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nikon Z8 (.NEF 47 MP)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For each of these formats, we run a range of tests to determine how fast your system is able to process them. These tests include the basics like importing and exporting, along with generating smart previews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-testing-ai-features\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Testing_AI_Features\"><\/span>Testing AI Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to testing various camera formats, Puget Bench for Lightroom Classic also measures performance for many of the new AI features in Lightroom Classic, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select Sky<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select Subject<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reflection Removal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Denoise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhance Details<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Super Resolution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These tests provide valuable insight into how your CPU, GPU, and overall system configuration affect Lightroom Classic\u2019s most demanding modern tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The release of Puget Bench for Lightroom Classic 1.0 marks the next step in our ongoing effort to make performance testing transparent, measurable, and relevant to real creative work<\/strong>. Whether you\u2019re evaluating your current system or planning your next workstation, this benchmark gives you the data you need to make informed, confident decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best of all, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">download and run the benchmark<\/a> on your system at no cost.
