Question

I am unable to export my generatively upscaled images from Lightroom. What should I do?

Today I have been able to export hundreds of photos that I have not edited, or are edited without using the Generative Upscale function in Lightroom. I have not been able to export a single generatively upscaled images and have been working on it for five hours. I have restarted my computer, updated Lightroom and restarted lightroom. What do I need to do to export these upscaled images?

 

For reference I am on a 2022 Mac Mini, Lightroom was updated today, I have 220 GB free on my hard drive, and I am connected to the internet. For export settings I am trying to export in JPEG 100% Full size with copyright data (I have tried with metadata with no success).

 

Every time I export it will open the bar for export progress, and nothing will happen, even up to 15 minutes later. For reference, I exported hundreds of photos earlier in less than 5 minutes.

 

Update: I have dropped the quality of any upscaled edit to 30%, resulting in low single digit megabyte files, and I am still not able to get any progress while exporting them. Still no issue exporting non upscaled images on the other hand.
