Elements Crashing while Publishing after Images (SVG, PNG, JPG) are added

RapidWeaver Elements 3.1.3 (24707)

I’m beginning to really hate Elements and miss RapidWeaver. Every time I add an image, I have to constantly play with it in various image editors (Apple Preview, Pixelmator, etc.) to try and find a format that won’t cause Elements to crash when publishing to their hosting platform. This is getting frustrating and annoying.

Is anyone else seeing problems like this? I haven’t seen anything in the forums. I’m running macOS 27.2 on a 2022 Mac Studio M1 Ultra with 128GB RAM and a 4TB SSD with less than 1TB used.

Never had a problem with images and I use many. Elements has never crashed for me. But I’m on macOS 27.1 .
