P: I'd like to know how to disable the startup tutorial about generative ai

With Photoshop 25, every time I start up PS, an image opens on my screen accompanied by a tuorial on generative ai by Anna McNaught. How to I disable this? I don't need it and I can't find a way to get rid of it.

 

Can someone help me with this please?

 

Thank you

I'm on Sonoma 14.1.1 and Photoshop 25.1 the latest for both.  Anna continues to greet me multiple times a day.  At some point soon, I'm going to have to introduce her to my Parents.

Not a problem Tom. We are a strong community, at least from what I've observed so far. I'm just glad to be part of it.

@SausalitoDog I'm happy to hear that your problem has disappeared after updating your macOS.

 

I'm wondering if any of the rest of you who've installed the latest PS update 25.2 (released today, I think) have found that their problem has gone away too.

Just FYI

I'M the original poster and the problem has gone away...when i did the 14.1.1 Sonoma update, the problem vanished. So despite the fact that Sonoma seems weird, I would try updating if you haven't already

I am having the same problem, if anyone is keeping count.

Poor Anna.  She probably has no idea.   My Wife thinks I'm having a Zoom affair with someone named Anna.

There are many users going through this but they just didn't report the error or didn't use 25.1. I'm having the same problem and I also can't stand listening to her tutorial.

For now I installed version 24.7.2 until the bug is resolved

I believe there are many users going through this and they just didn't report the error.

It's been months like this without fixing this error, this is disappointing Adobe

I am having the same issue and to be frank - I am dead tired of hearing Anna each I launch PS and having not to save the image automatically opened. 

Come on with the patch Adobe
