P: Delay after selecting Export

[Potyike]

Hey guys !

After the latest update, I'm facing a rather annoying problem. After I do all my export settings and press EXPORT Button, LR seems to time out for a couple of minutes (and don't respond) until it starts the export. After that the export time is quick as usual ! 

LR Classic ver 12

MacOS Monterey 12,6

No changes. Updated and it takes 30 seconds before the export stats when using watermarks. 😡

Hey All:

Been doing a ton of research and coming up empty handed, when I am exporting a photo (yes even a single photo) I click on the export button and there is a few second delay before lightroom takes action, its annoying for sure and on my four year old Mac I didnt have the issue.

Brand new Macbook Pro - M2 Max processor - 32 gig of memory - Mac OS Ventura 13.2 - 994 gig available on primary HD - photos are located on NVM drive (2361 meg write speed 2612 read speed with 143 gig available on that drive).

Preferences: Use GPU for export is on - Camera Raw Cache is set to 40 gig (are there other performance settings?).

Lightroom classic 12.1 release - all updates applied.

Hello - still experiencing this problem.

It is very specifically related to exporting when using a watermark, I uncheck and it works as expected.

This has been open so long Adobe HAS to get this wrapped up, I am pretty much at a standstill until this gets remediated.

A lot of people have reported this bug.

1. Are you exporting with a watermark?  If so, does the problem occur when exporting without a watermark?

2. Try exporting with Preferences > Performance > Use GPU For Export unchecked.

Yes with watermark and I have changed that setting.

I cant believe this issue has been open this long.

[John R Ellis]

If it's a text watermark, try unchecking Shadows -- that works around the problem for many.

[oldmantod]

No its a graphic - I read all of these and tried all of it from what I can tell.

For most of us this does not solve the slowness problem that has persisted since version 12. Before with 11, no problem.

This is unfortunately true ... plus we pay. Wake up Adobe!!!

MacStudio Ulta (20core, 64Gb mem)... It takes 8seconds before the export starts (no watermark), 12seconds with textbased watermark.
