Photoshop hanging when open illustration file

[roberts33286217]

PS 26.4.0 When I try to open an Illustrator file containg multiple artboards, with each artboard containing high resolution placed/linked images, Photoshop comes to an almost complete standstill, tabbing between the fields (width, height etc) takes minutes for each tab. I do not recall this ever being a problem on previous PS versions.

Can you use your Creative Cloud Libraries to transfer the images? Maybe it's the linked images - have you tried embedding them? How large are they?

I have tried emedding the images, but the final approved file format needs to be in pdf format, embedding massively increases the size of the pdf. I have just checked the linked images file sizes, there were three images, two were not particularly big, 5Mb and 7Mb, the third was large 50Mb. I have downsampled the large image which has fixed the problem but I'm still disapointed in Photoshops inability to view the file. I would be ok waiting for the file to open, but to not be able to tab around the values feels like a software problem. I'm working on resonable powered and fairly new Apple M2.

Thanks for reporting this @roberts33286217 .

Are you able to share any of these files with us to test with?

Yeah sure, the files are big, how do you want me to share the files with you?

@roberts33286217 Do you have any file share service like Google drive or anything else?

You also mentioned some were ~5 or 7 megs, perhaps attaching those might work here in the forums?
