Question

Adobe Photoshop has been lagging and freezing repeatedly for about a week.

The entire app stalls out in the middle of a process and the beach ball pops up. It 's happening with all tools and at all stages. I've upgraded PS, checked for sortware updates for my mac , closed all other apps , still no change .

    For me, Photoshop has been noticeably laggier since version 27.7. No beachball, though.

    That may be a contributing factor.
    Try to free up some hard drive space.
