Thanks, Henk. My feeling too but upgrading is so expensive in SA now. I'll see if I can find some bargain basement RAM. Hopefully 16G will be somewhat better.

Alan, the only solution in my opinion is to upgrade or replace hardware. For photo editing of RAW files 6G RAM is borderline and having an old system won't help as well.

I've been following this thread with interest. I still use Elements 13 which is quite good enough for my purposes but have noticed it is much slower with the larger K5 files than it was with the smaller K110D files. I've tweaked everything as best I can but find I can't really process more than half a dozen files at a time without paralysing the system. I have 6G RAM and 12G Virtual Memory but wonder if this is enough? Any helpful comments would be much appreciated. The computer is an oldish Acer Laptop with Intel Core i3 processor running Win10.

John, a few things to consider:

Since changing the app is easier than Windows, have you tried
downgrading to an earlier version of Photoshop?
Try adding more scratch space. You can configure multiple drives to
supply Ps swap.
Try playing with the GPU acceleration options. I'd first try disabling
it completely to see the effects.

BTW, it's working fine for me on a 5K iMac. Ps version 21.0.3.

Good luck!

Last few days PSCC has become unusable. I am currently working on a number
of old family photos, which I have scanned to TIFF files, usually at
anything from 400-1200 ppi, depending upon the original size of the print
(always from prints).
I can crop, spot fix, clone areas, adjust highlights/shadows etc. with no problems, but even a minor resize causes the whole application to freeze. Anyone else having this problem?  I am using an HP Pavilion laptop with a decent specification, and have over 107GB available on my scratch disk, and over 800Gb available on the source disk, so I don't think capacity is the issue.  Processor is a Core-i7 at 1.80 GHz, 16GB RAM and 64-bit W10 fully
updated.
A little research suggests perhaps it is not PS but Windows causing the issue, but I don't want to roll back the last windows update unnecessarily.
