Very slow export

I'm experiencing very slow export (1 1/2 hours to export 30 files into jpg) My file size is 5000px on the long side at 300dpi (client requirements), although large have been exporting this size quite happily for the last 3 years but suddenly it has slowed right down.

I can find no reason. Is it worth reloading Lightroom or perhaps clearing my backup? For the record, I only use Lightroom to batch process/caption, I use none of the other attributes of Lightroom.

I noticed that the combination of adding luminance noise reduction above 30 and a custom luminance mask to every photo of the working folder (i.e. 700 photos) will make the export time pretty much double or triple while using 100% CPU. Perhaps doing the noise reduction only on photos that your client wants to print will speed up your workflow.

No, I can't and I won't, because I don't (and most people here in this forum don't) work for Adobe.

You should tell Adobe this, not us Lightroom users in this forum. Here is the way to report problems: Lightroom Classic | Photoshop Family Customer Community

I had the same issue and found a way to export to jpeg much faster.

simple solution but it works. Just keep the folder where its being exported opened and the whole process will go much faster.

Hi martinh,

We're really sorry for all the trouble. Could you please let us know the exact version of Lightroom you are using now? Also, please refer the following article to optimize Lightroom performance: Optimize Lightroom performance

Now that´s one lazy answer from Adobe Staff. I´m having the same issue. Just exported 41 pictures and took a very long time. I postponed the latest upgrade as soon as i could and didn´t have this problem with the version i was using before (yeah..sorry..i forgot what it was). Besides being very slow to batch export, it consumed 100% CPU during all the process, rending the system unusable. Now, i really don´t have one hell of a powerfull machine. It is an AMD 6-core FX6300 OCd to 4.2Ghz, 16GB RAM and Lr is running on SSD.

Would Adobe please have a look into it instead of taking us to the same article it has been pointing out everytime someone complains about Lr´s sluggish behaviour?

Thanks!!
