    Hi selinaa,

    Thanks for posting in Adobe Forums.

    It seems you are facing performance issue with Adobe Photoshop Elements.

    Please provide the following information :

    Are you using a Windows or a Mac ? (Specify Version)

    Have you recently installed any kind of update ?

    Are you facing this issue using any other feature ?

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks

    Regards

    Try this:

    Restore default preferences

    Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements Editor displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file could be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.

    Note: Deleting the preferences file is an action that cannot be undone.

    Do one of the following:

    ·                                Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.

    ·                                Go to Edit > Preferences (Mac: Photoshop Elements > Preferences > General), click the Reset Preferences on next launch button, and then click OK. When you restart Adobe Photoshop Elements, all preferences are reset to default settings.

    A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements Editor. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.

    from here:

    Preference file locations for Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements

    If that doesn’t work ,try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site.
