I have a new Macbook Air 13" and need to run Photoshop. It works for a few minutes after loading but then slows right down. When I save it says "program error". I'm guessing it's not up to the job, but would it help if I added an external hard drive?? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Hi there,
From what we can tell, your MacBook Air is performing slowly when using Photoshop, and you're unable to save projects due to an error that appears. We're glad you've joined us in Apple Support Communities and we can provide some guidance.
