Active Protection slows down Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw
After reading the TrueImage 2019 forum a warning to users Lightroom and Camera Raw. Active Protection slowed down my Lightroom when GPU acceleration is turned on (Win 10, Nvidia graphics card). As well the newest version of Adobe Camera Raw is severely slowed down (part of Photoshop 21.1.1), most likely because this version is as well using GPU acceleration.
I was not aware Active protection is part of True Image and switched on by default. It caused severe troubles for me and most likely for many others so I would advise Acronis to switch it off by default. I just want a backup software.

@Steve: You're right that this is not a forum to provide feedback to Acronis. But I would suspect that all users of Photoshop and Lightroom who are using a Nvidia graphics card suffer from severe performance degradation when using TrueImage.
This is why I posted here, so it can be found in the Internet.
I would have never ever expected TrueImage to be the culprit for the performance problems which hunt me since months. I’m using TrueImage since ages – but the fact that newer versions are as well supervising my PC completely slipped my attention. And the fact True Image does it by default annoys me.
So my recommendation to all users is to switch this crap off and stick with the basic backup functionality.
You do not need to turn off active protection, just remove the appropriate Abode .exe files to the list of processes that are not monitored. It appears that Active protection considers such file manipulation as possible malware action; several programs I regularly use have the same problem and all I had to do was to exclude the relevant *.exe files from the monitoring process and normal speed returned.
