Hey GZA,

All files, existing files, files from older versions, blank document?

Where are you saving them to?

Hi Chris,

Working from an external ssd (Samsung T7) 

The files are already saved as Tiff. I'm constantly cmd+Save while working but sometimes freezes. 
It's not often, but I've found is a problem with a previous versions as well...

Potentially, this could be the issue.

Would you be able to humour me and for a bit, try working locally from an internal HDD/SSD.

We've had numerous counts in the past where working from external disk drives or cloud-based services can cause issues saving/opening etc.

Does the external drive have any sleep/power modes?

Thanks Chris,

For now this seems to be the issue!
