Extremely slow HDR photo merge process since the last update to Version 13

I noticed that since the last upgrade of Lightroom to version 13, the HDR photo merge feature is very slow at time of preview as well as at time of applying the merge.

Does anyone else have the same issue?

 

Kind regards

    Yes I face the same issue. Here a Windows 10 Machine with Ryzen 7 and NVidia 3050TI Labtop Graphics card.
    When merging HDRs (3 in my case) the process is stuck for a long while after around 80% and then finishing eventually.

    Also when in develop mode I see that setting pick flags and color labels is also very, very laggy.

    For me Release 12.5.1 was a rock solid workhorse but Release 13 onwards seems to have a lot of issues and flaws. For now I switched back (again) to 12.5.1 (I kept my database which is not too old now).

    Given that the OP was  using LrC 13.0 on a Mac, then it's highly unlikely that your issue is the same. Best you start a new thread and provide more details. Typically, we find the LrC 'System Info' as obtained from the Help > Sytem Info menu item is the most useful. The System Info dialog includes a 'Copy' button (see attached screenshot) that should make the task of capturing the data fairly easy.
