I had an older MacBook pro and it worked fine. my programs are no longer on that computer so unfortunately I can’t test it. I really don’t want to go to Creative cloud, and I’m afraid to update to Yosemite.

It’s any image. I mainly import PS files, tiffs, jpegs and some eps/ai files. It also happens in Illustrstor when importing / placing a tiff file for tracing. It might crash after one image is placed, sometimes I can place 10, then on the eleventh try….crash! It’s random. I work on a larger magazine so I’m constantly placing images.
