Panorama merge, and denoise both fail to complete

Some help please. I have been experiencing an issue with both panorama merge and denoise. Both processes begin and get two thirds of the way through before ending with no resulting image and no error warning.

The denoise results in a grey screen stating 'no photo selected'

I'm using Lightroom 13.2 on Windows 11

The problem was initially resolved by increasing the cache settings, however the problem has returned after a fortnight or so, even after allocating real time memory to lightroom and again increasing cache in preferences.

I have tried optimising the catalog, which is stored on the laptop.

I have a 2.6ghz processor with 16gb RAM and 141gb hard drive spare

Correct answer GoldingD

Nothing particularly wrong in that /preferences/performance/ other than the GPU driver.

A point to be made is LrC can take advantage of placing the catalog on your fastest hard drive. The same for the Camera RAW CACHE. No big advantage for locating the photos on a fast hard drive.

Issue about the Camera RAW CACHE location is a Windows specific one, it involves LrC and the OS reading/writing to both the Windows paging file and the Camera RAW CACHE, and a possibility that they both occur at the same time and compete. A small performance hit most may not notice.

Since this is a laptop, it probably has dual graphics. That's known to cause conflicts. Disable the integrated GPU.

Thank you for that. I'll disable the intedgrated GPU and hopefully that will help.

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post.

So v546.59, released last January, at NVIDIA the current Studio driver is v 552.22

You may want to update that driver, select custom install type as to force a clean install. And unless you are a gamer, select the Studio driver, not the Game Ready driver.
