Photos running Too Slowly!

MacBook Air

Sonoma 14.2.1


Photos lags terribly when uploadimg thumbnails of photos to download from SD card. Now it's lagging terribly in loading them. It's been 10 minutes already, and it's still not imported all photos. There are onl 64 to import.


Anybody else experiencing this problem? Any helpful tips available?


Thank you.

Where are you importing from? SD Card


Where is your library stored? External Hard Drive


Is using Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) any faster No


Not sure why these make a difference. It was a simple matter of the same computer took photos from the same SD card and loaded them onto the same external hard drive on one day. And then just tortoised along on the next.
