New to the community, read a lot already:) Updated yesterday photshop...and now when i'm using shadow highlight i get the ball of dead...and my computer is not rsponding anymore.The curves are also very slow. I have a fully spect 2019 mac mini..and never had any problems..CC 2019 works fine!
This is only a guess, but Shadow/Highlights is an old — and frankly irrelevant — command. It might not be compatible with the version of OSX you are using. Shadow/Highlight was a rather nasty effect that while opening up shadows and closing in highlights, left the image looking muddy and over processed. Try using the Camera RAW filter, and the individual Shadows and Highlights sliders. They are from a later process version, and work much much better. I also have a feeling that they a much less likely to hang up your computer.
I'm using the latest OSX. I proces my images in lightroom..then convert to photoshop fot detailing. Stills trange that with PS 2019,still works and with the latests version my computer freeze. With the version before the update,everything was really fast.
Thank you for your insight, but I have to disagree. Just becasue S/H is outdated to you doesn't mean it's not usefull to someone else with a different workflow. I would appriciate a guide to a usable solution rather than advice to just not use a tool that should work.
In the meantime, though, please use Trevor's solution (above). The Shadows/Highlights feature was "nasty" from Day One, as explained by Trevor. Or use Ged's solution to use an earlier version of PS.
Adobe has not removed it because there are folks who still use it, and Adobe needs to be told if it's causing crashes. You can post the link back here so others can see it.
