Photos Crashing Exporting 1 Photo

I have a photos library that crashes when i even try to export 1 photo - drag and drop or using the export drop down.


Exporting unmodified original works fine but it freezes and has to be force quit if i try to export anything with edits. Any advice appreciated.

As a test launch Photos with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it? (This tells us if the problem is limited to your current library or is more wide spread)


Next, if necessary, log into another vanilla admin user account, Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac and see if the problem persists. (This tells us if the problem is limited to your user account or is system wide).
