Can Lightroom queue panorama or HDR merges to run later?

I often have many panorama or HDR merges to process in Lightroom, and each merge makes my computer hard to use until it finishes. Is there a way to queue multiple panorama/HDR stitches and let them run later, such as overnight, instead of starting each one manually while I’m at the computer?

Unfortunately you are not alone with this problem. You can check here and here about discussions/requests for such option. What you can try is to activate graphical processor to help with rendering the panorama. Also you can check those recommendations from Adobe about Lightroom optimization

EDIT: According to this document now is possible to run panoramas/HDR stitch in batch. Probably it is not what you want but at least IMHO is step in right direction

Lightroom historically did not offer a true “run later” queue for panorama/HDR merges. Based on the community answers, the practical options are:

  • Use Lightroom’s newer batch panorama/HDR stitch capability, if your version supports it. This can at least process multiple merges together, though it may not be a full scheduled queue.
  • Run the merges when you are away from the computer, such as overnight.
  • Consider automating the process externally (for example with PowerShell) if you want unattended operation.
  • Enable GPU acceleration and follow Adobe’s Lightroom optimization guidance, which may improve merge performance and reduce how much your PC slows down.

So, the short answer is: not as a built-in delayed render queue in the traditional sense, but batch stitching and external automation can help.
