If you use adobe or any vector based platform you do not have to deal with file sized bc no matter the size you will never loose resolution.

Im gonna be honest, idk about the thing you’re specifically working on but im fairly good with computers. The simple stuff you could try is checking for updates and doing a simple restart. Sometimes it just needs to take a break and be start up again. Something else you could try is clearing out old files, and stuff you dont need. This could help clear out some space to make things move a lil faster. I hope these tips help, if not. Report back and we can try to troubleshoot some more

Note: the file itself is 1/3rd the actual size of the original mural size

Thank you! I’ll try that. It’s a pretty new computer (but the file is like 9GB…so it’s definitely probably me) so I should see how it goes
