Lightroom Classic edits are non destructive. You can reset any edit or all edits any time you choose. If you choose full reset, then file will return to its original state.   Is there any harm in always having the Remove Chromatic Aberration turned on for all photos?   No. It's really up to the user to decide whether they believe that CA correction is applicable or not. In some cases it may not be and in others it may be necessary.   Is there any harm in doing like I said above about having a Gradient mask covering the whole photo if there is purple fringing and then using the masking Defringe control?  Is there any downside to doing it this way?   No to both questions. If the results on a particular image are to your taste, then use the approach you describe. If not, then just reset the adustment or step back in history. ... View more

I can't reproduce on Mac (macOS Sequoia) with export to use 720p and 1080p presets using Auto and Manual modes.    If you haven't already tried resetting the LrC preference file, then it's always worth a try. The procedure is set out in Method 1 at below linked Help document.   https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/reset-preferences.html   If resetting preferences doesn't help, then you'll need to provide more information regarding the slideshow setting you're using and your choice for the export preset.   ...

Given your workflow description, especially larger panos, I would suggest removing  the MacBook Air (any version) from your list of options.  Why?   I did some tests using 4 of the Macs that I have here. The pano comprised 11 Canon EOS R5 images   MacBook Air M3 8 Core CPU, 10 Core GPU, 16GB UM = 126 seconds   Mac mini M4 Pro, 12 Core CPU, 16 Core GPU, 24GB UM = 38 seconds   MacBook Pro M3 Max, 16 Core CPU, 40 Core GPU, 64GB UM = 24 seconds   Mac Studio M1 Ultra, 20 Core CPU, 48 Core GPU, 64GB UM = 25 seconds   I don't have access to any MacBook M4 Max, but based on trutworthy reviews such as the site you provided a link to, I would expect the lower speced M4 Max to be similar to above M3 Max and the higher speced M4 Max to be 15-20% faster for pano merge               ...

I've had something similar about a year back when using 3 Apple silicon Macs. I submitted an internal bug report which was reproducible with below steps. Bug was fixed. I've seen it again a few times since, but can't find the steps to reproduce it. So, chances of a fix are slim until it can be reproduced.     1. Launch LrC 2. Double click a grid view image to display in loupe view 3. Switch to the Develop module 4. Switch back to the Library module 5. Double click on Library loupe image to switch back to grid view   Actual Result: Green flashes occur on grey background. ... View more
