I edit my photos in the Photo app and wish to move the edited version to my desktop for uploading online. It usually works fine, but lately I can't move any photos out of Photo--the progress indicator shows the export stops at 16% every time. I have plenty of hard drive space and have restarted my machine and run a repair on my Photos app to no avail.
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.7
As a test: Create a new library and import some images into it. See if the problem is repeated there/ If it is then we know the issue is systemic, if it's not then we know the issue is local to that library.
Do you have an up-to-date back up?

Drag and Drop is not supported. Use File>Export. See this:
Should you use Drag & Drop in Photos" - Apple Community
Are there any error messages?
Where is your library stored? If on an external, then is that drive formatted Mac OS X Extended, Journaled or apfs?
Can you view the images at full size in Photos?
No error messages. The library is stored on the internal hd. I can view the images fine in Photos.
Drag-and-drop exporting just randomly started working again yesterday, but it's quit again today. When I try to restart Photos lately, it asks me if I want to interrupt the exports (which aren't actually progressing); then I usually have to force quit.
Same group of images each time, or is it just any images?
Any images
Unable to export photos on 2021 Macbook
