Color Wheel

Constant appearance of the color wheel whenever I make a picture or menu choice with PSE 15 on my 3 month old Mac.

Is there a setting in OSE15 that I must choose or just live with it.

Hi,

Please reset the preferences for Editor only. To further enhance the performance, you can follow the below mentioned steps :

In editor, Go to preferences->Performance.Increase the Let Photoshop Elements use MBs to around 80%.
Go to preferences->Scratch disks. If you have more than one disks, select another disk (not the start up disk) as the scratch disk.

Please let us know if that helps you or the issue still persists.

Sounds like your referring to the "Spinning Wheel of Death" that lots of Mac users call it.

It's a lot better since I changed the performance preference to 95%, but yeah that wheel stinks. Is there a solution?Text,Jim C
