Issues with templates under CS6

Hey fellow scrappers!
I still use CS6 and the last 3 templates that I used, all from different designers, all new from this month, gave me huge issues.
PS gave up several times, one time even wouldn't come back again, I had to restart the computer.
One thing that I found, that when I could save to jpeg (I had issues with that, too), the file would get to be like 4 to 5 times larger than usual.
It's a huge pita to play with templates now and I really have no idea what to do.
I never had any problems with my CS6 version. When I don't use templates everything is fine.

Anyone else?

 

Thank you, Carol @Iowan !
It happened with all three MOC templates. Fiddle Dee Dee, Rachel and Pink Reptile.
I happen to work with windows 10 as well.
I have a hunch that it may be a compatibility issue with the newest CC version, but I have no idea what the 3 designers are working with.

Edit: It also may be Fiddle Dee Dee or Rachel, because I had to use them both in one layout. It was always an additional issue when I wanted to get something from Fiddle Dee Dee over into the existing layout.
I use Rachel's templates quite often and never ran into an issue. I might have to try something from this year.

Editing to clarify Fiddle Dee Dee OR Rachel because I scrapped with both. I suppose it's not Rachels, because I never had issues with hers. Who knows though, what changed on CC with updates.

@bestcee I'm on PC with Windows 10.

 

I use the psd files. Will try the tiff file of the last template with a different layout, just to see if I run into problems.

Will try the rasterizing as well.

Thank you for chiming in! @keepscrappin

@Iowan Thank you! I'm just now playing with the prd template again. will let you know how it goes! <3

 

Thank you @Iowan @keepscrappin and @bestcee
So far it looks as if the tiff doesn't give me issues. I will test it out further and if I run into something will post here.

It's so good to be able to ask here <3

 

I'm using all of the above save tools. Save As to save the original template as my own layout (as psd and later as jpeg), save to... save it and save for web after I downsized the jpeg. As I said the save as jpeg gives me issues especially. Either it gives me errors or ps is crashing. The save for web never really worked for me from the original psd file. I always save as jpeg first, then downsized, then save for web.

I tend to run into these problems when the layout is already loaded with lots of papers and elements. I tried to rasterize a lot and merge layers etc but it didn't change anything in the issues.
So when I combined the templates at first it wasn't an issue. I tend to "save" save before I apply my actions, pretty much before I'm finished, and that's often when the horror happens. It's also sometimes when I pull another piece into the layout that I get error messages and then I can't save and have to kill ps, so I at least have a later version of the file.
And to say this again: I NEVER had issues before the last templates and even now when I don't use templates, I have no issues, even with super loaded layouts (mine are always loaded ).

I had already upped the memory usage when I ran into the template issues, it was at 2400 before.
