Question

Why is PE 26 so much slower than PE 25?

I have a 2018 MacBook Pro, 2.9 Ghz IntelCore 9 with 32 meg of ram.  Old in computer years but still a great machine.  I upgraded to PE 26 from PE 25 and can't believe how slow it is when ever I resize an object.  I may go back to PE 25 as the new features don't outweigh the sluggish performance.  I am wondering if it is AI that is slowing it down on this machine and if I can turn that off.  Anything else I can do to speed it up?

See if it makes any difference by going to Photoshop Elements 2026 Editor>Settings>Performance, click on Advanced Settings, check GPU Compositing, then restart Photoshop Elements.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't make much difference.  BTW, I have the same issue with cropping.  Takes forever (like 10 seconds or more) anytime I crop a photo and I can't do anything else while it is processing.

If in the Photoshop Elements 2026 Editor you go to Help>GPU Compatibility, what does it say?

 

In Photoshop Elements 2026 Editor>Settings>Performance is Use Graphics Processor checked?

 

Also from within the Photoshop Elements 2026 Editor go to Help>System Info and paste the contents here on the forum, which might give some possible clues for the slow performance.

"Your graphics processor is compatible.  Pass: OpenGL available Pass: Metal available Pass: Above required VRAM (4294 MB of 1500 MB required) GPU Detected: AMD Radeon Pro 560X (AMD)"

 

Graphics Processor is checked in Performance settings.

OS 15.7.2.  I resize the object by clicking on a corner and dragging-- assuming I can see the corner.  Half the time the handles are not visible and I have to hoover my cursor over the area where the corner should be until to changes to the resize arrow.  It can take 10 to 15 seconds before I can do anything else.  I can move my cursor but I can't click on anything until the object appears in the new size and location.
