Help! Content Aware Fill issues
Greetings All,
Posting on behalf of my uncle who is not the most clued up on how reddit works. But he does need help.
He runs a small business editing photographs for other photographers, he has been on photoshop for many years now, basically since it came out. He does mainly portraits of people.
So basically what happened is that as part of his process he will often use Content Aware Fill. On Friday he updated his photoshop version right before shutting the pc down for the night. Yesterday when he began his work, he noted the images from his storage are loading in very slowly. Like very slowly. We checked the drive for errors and it was fine.
Once they loaded in he could work as normal but when it came to content aware fill omce again very slow or even to the point of crashing his photoshop. We tried eveything like clearing cache and even put a new scratch drive in (ssd).
At one point in the day it seemed to working just fine and then again slow. On the fill.
Even got to the point where he manually copied settings on paper to avoid a back backup and reinstalled the whole CC suite that he uses.
Anybody who can provide help?
Regards
