Extremely slow save with Photoshop 24 and MacOS Ventura

Do you have a scratch disk installed? I always had that same problem, especially with pdfs, until I got a dedicated scratch disk. I use a Samsung SSD now, but previously I used a WD HDD, and either way, it makes a huge difference when saving files. 

Good but so odd. I'm on an M1, no issues. Can you try an external drive? 

Edit; super important to have those privacy setting invoked.

Hi Marie - just to be clear, that Apple System Prefs setting needs to be on not "tried" or you will have issues. Just wanted to make sure you left it on if it wasnt before.

I'm on an M1 with the current release of Photoshop, but I am still on Monterey - there have been so many issues with Ventura I've stayed back to avoid them. Not just with Adobe products either, Microsoft and others too.

@Kevin Stohlmeyer Yes. That was tried as well...

It's all ok for you? You all have M1s?

@TheDigitalDog Didn't use the migration assistant. I really wanted to have clean state... 😞

@MarieCouleur Did you confirm your Apple System Preferences? That has been the noted resolution in other similar posts.

An OS reinstall will do a lot more, at least a clean install. Did you then use migration assistant?

Thanks for all replies. I'm saving the file locally, right in "Documents" folder. Nothing fancy.  I did try to disable Native Canvas, without success. I didn't try the CC Cleaner tool, but I can't imagine how a OSX reinstall wouldn't do the same... nothing survives an OS reinstall. I simply just formatted the whole computer, installed CC & Photoshop and did the save test: still slow.

Did you try this 

Go to Preferences > Technology Previews... and check "Disable Native Canvas" - then restart Photoshop. Does the problem still occur?

 If it doesn't work, go to Preferences > Performance and uncheck Use Graphics Processor.

maybe this can help 

here are the problems that can be with Ventura
