FUZZY DOWNLOAD

I use apple's app 'PHOTOS 8.0' on my 27 inch iMAC 3.8 GHZ QUAD CORE i5 INTEL WITH 40 MB INSTALLED RAM. I'm running OS Ventura 13.4.1 My standard workflow is to download into "Photos' for initial adjustments, then using Luminar NEO 1.13.0 as a plug in for Apple's 'photos' for my final touches in post processing. I shoot with a Sony a7 IV using firmware v 1.11.
Recently upon downloading into Photos , the picture displays on my Mac's screen as a very fuzzy image. At this point I cannot drag the photo onto my desktop. The photo remains fuzzy until I press the edit button, at which time the the photo. snaps into focus.
Have recent "Upgrades" to Apples OS and Luminar NEO destroyed the near flawless functionality that I used to enjoy?

Since I cannot send visual evidence directly from the effected image, I have resorted to screenshots Which will load and send VIA the UHH interface.

Sounds like the system minimizes resource demand by displaying pix as low rez "large thumbnails" until you indicate that you are actually about to work on the images.

If thaz the deal, there should be some user choice about it, maybe in a resources menu, power management menu or whatever Mac calls it (sorry but I dont speak Mac).

Did you mean 40MB or 40GB RAM?
