Adobe Premiere/Photoshop Elements Slow

I have a 27" Retina 5k iMac (2020) with a 3.3 GHz 6-core Intel Core I5 processor, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, AMD Radeon Pro 5300 4GB Graphics, and 500 GB internal HD.

I recently installed Adobe Premiere Elements and Photoshop 2022. According to the installation requirements, my machine should run them, but both application functions are choppy and slow with considerable lag times between commands and action. The videos play just fine once they start playing with no "bottleneck" effects. iMovie works as it should.

Is this a hardware issue? If so, what would need to be upgraded to fix. Better question, what would I need to upgrade to run Final Cut X? Once Final Cut 7 stopped being supported I decided not to upgrade, after the struggles with Adobe, thinking maybe I should.

Thanks,

iMac 27″, macOS 12.4
