"print to:jpg file" Contact Sheets causes Lr crash

[julieml]

Hi there,

Within the print module of Lr 2.3, I am trying to save my contact sheets (so that I may upload them to a printing co.) by selecting "print to:jpg file." I have 85' low-res files (5'' kb) to make 145 contact sheets. Each time I do this, only 8 - 4' pages will save before Lightroom crashes. At first, I selected all of the images and Lr froze. I then tried selecting smaller amounts. Sometimes it would process all 4' pages (24' images), other time it would process 8 before crashing. There is no pattern as far as it getting stuck on a certain image. I have tried 15 times, selecting different amounts and even the same amounts and it crashes at random times. Even when I only selected 6' images. Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening? Ideally, I would be making these contact sheets from the original dng files. But b/c of the crashes I created a new catalog of low-res and it still won't work. I have no other programs open while attempting this and I have tons of memory and ram to work with.

Thanks for your help!
