Ok i understand, If i upgrade OS to Ventura 13.7.8 it will help ?

You could add memory but investing in an older, unsupported Intel Mac is wasting money. Updating the operating system won't help. I'd start looking to upgrade to a new Apple Silicon Mac.

@Ravi Acharya your main issue is the amount of RAM you have

Built-in memory: 8192 MB Free memory: 2596 MB Memory available to Photoshop

Adobe recommends at least 16 GB of RAM, Photoshop is pretty RAM hungry so your 2.5 GB of available RAM ain't going to go far, especially if you're working on large documents

You have an older machine that has now fallen out of support by both Apple and Adobe. You can either install an older version of the Adobe software or start budgeting for a newer computer. Check out Apple refurbs, those can be a great deal.

Apple should be announcing new computers within the next few weeks, so I'd wait on actually buying anything if you can. Once new machines are out, you'll see deals on slightly older models. Any current Apple Silicon Mac will run circles around your iMac so even an M2 or M3 (M4 is current and M5 should be announced this fall) will be fine.
