Photoshop 23.3.0 30 seconds before i can do anything when opening a file
hello. when i doubl-click a 9mb tif file that i've saved on my desktop, it'll prompt me for how to handle the colors, then when i click OK it will load the image, but then i can't do anything for 30second - can't close photoshop, click on a menu, click on the image window and move it etc.
i've gone through all the troubleshooting steps down to deleting my preferences and having PS create new folder and preferences upon launch.
i have compatible video card, plenty of disc space (200GB free) 64GB of ram etc... no touch screen or anythjng like that. i've started in safe-mode also. oh and i have windows 10.
i just recently updated photoshop twice - once about a week ago? and then there was another update just a few days ago so i updated that too. before these upgrades i never had this issue. as soon as the image was displayed i could do whatever as quickly as i wanted. sometimes i could even hit the X button in PS and it would immediately close down as soon as the image loaded.
anything else i can do?
thanks,
steve
