P: PNG Images Opens with Distortion

From time to time, when I open a png image, it will appear as bright, distorted lines.

I have deleted all Photoshop preference files, uninstalled the app, reinstalled it and restarted the computer. Does not prevent it from happening.

When it happens, I can quit Photoshop and reopen it and the png appears correctly. But then it will happen again later that day or the next. Rinse/Repeat.



Very annoying. Please get better quality control Photoshop. CC seems to get progressively worse in terms of bugs.

    So I used to be able to drag a .png file into my artboard, or file > open, or drag the file to the photoshop app. However, this glitch crazy acid trip keeps happening. I uninstalled and reinstalled but still not working. 

    screen capture https://screencast.com/t/dV9Nb6CIaL
    screen shot of .png open in photoshop https://screencast.com/t/QjwCBOPL7

    As cool as this looks it's not convenient to my workflow at all.


    Any thoughts?

    I did see that one time with one document I was working on. I tried various PNG files to see if there was a problem with the individual PNG, and it did it to all of them. On disk they were fine. In 2017, they were fine. In Preview, they were fine. I quit and relaunched PS, and it's never happened since. I've been working with PNG files all day for days since it happened and not seen it again. If I do, I'll follow your instructions here.

    No not 100% of the time. Yesterday all png files opened up looking corrupted. Today the same files open fine.

    I have another test for this problem, but only for anyone in this thread who considers him or herself to be an advanced user:

    Please rename this folder:

    /Applications/Adobe/Photoshop/CC/2018/Adobe/Photoshop/CC/2018.app/Contents/Required/Plug-ins/Extensions 

    to......   

    /Applications/Adobe/Photoshop/CC/2018/Adobe/Photoshop/CC/2018.app/Contents/Required/Plug-ins/~Extensions

    Then check if you still see the behavior. The ~ basically says do not load (so we're trying to see if this is caused by your extensions)

    Thank you!!!

    NOTE: This folder is in the application package on Mac. Only people comfortable with renaming paths should try this.

    FYI one user said that dragging and dropping the png made the png render correctly.

    For those of you still seeing this, are you seeing this 100% of the time when you open certain pngs?

    Hi Everyone,

    Can you please go to Help > System Info and then copy and paste the contents of that window here? Also would you mind emailing me a png that won't open properly for you along with a screenshot of how it appears on your machine? I'm creating the case for this but it's easier to fix when we are able to reproduce the behavior here. 

    Thanks,
    Hannah
