Hi,

 

We're sorry about the trouble with Photoshop due to the app freezing while opening large files.

 

Please try disabling the option to Use Graphics Processor from Photoshop by going to Preferences, then Performance. Once done, quit & relaunch Photoshop to check if that helps.

 

You can also try optimizing the Preferences of Photoshop using the steps suggested here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-photoshop-cc-performance.html

 

If the issue persists, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here: https://adobe.ly/2Qzc0K3

Please backup your settings prior to resetting the preferences. You can check: https://adobe.ly/2vNz6FG

 

Let us know how it goes!

Regards,

Nikunj

What worked for me was going back to an older version then updating again. That seems to have settled the issue. But I'll try those other suggestions if it happens again.

Thanks for sharing the update. You may also try updating Photoshop to version 22.4.1 which was released recently.
