Major problem with Photos app on my MBA

[nick_p...@mac.com]

Hi,
Just wondering whether this problem is shared with anyone else. For the last couple of weeks Photos has become almost unusable (it happened suddenly not progressively). Any simple action eg. deleting a photo or rotating an image takes minutes not a couple of seconds!
I can’t check whether there is a rebuild option as it is still trying to rotating an image and everything else is currently out of bounds, but maybe there is and that might fix it.

Try opening photos holding down opt+cmd+ctrl+shift, it should ask to repair your library

Many thanks Sam. I’ll try that in a minute after backing up.

That has worked. Thanks so much Sam.

I wish Photos Help gave a bit more information like that.
