I don't know. Are Apple or Adobe slowing things up?

Can hardly get Photoshop to work these days - was fine a month ago.

Just getting rediculous.

I will recommend to check how much disc space and availablke RAM you have. That is what you can do from your side. What about other apps, browser etc... Friend of mine had same problem, went to Apple and they concluded that OS reinstall was needed without further explanation why.

If you really want help from this user-to-user forum, we need a lot more info! At the very least, go into PS>Help menu and provide the info requested, then tell us exactly what isn't working and what you did just prior to whatever it is, that didn't work.

    What version of PS, Mac OS, Hardware etc?

    You can go to Photoshop Help menu>System Info, then copy and paste the details here.

      Hi thanks for getting back to me. Sorry I didn't provide more infor, please see screen grabs of my system and operating software. I run Adobe CC 2020 for PS, Bridge & LR Classic. I don't know why but sometimes everything just goes into snail pace and using any programs becomes impossible. Other times it works absolutely fine. Not sure if background programs are running to slow and I frequently close other programs like Mail, or browsers or Time Machine. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

      I spoted 8GB memory that is very low for 2022. Only OS and Photoshop will probably fill that RAM. One of potential (real) problems is low amount of RAM memory.
