P: Program error when saving, lag when zooming, changes not reflecting in document window (macOS)

What version of Photoshop? What OS/version? What troubleshooting have you tried?

@2271856 what sort of update did you do that made it go away? 22.1 is the most current version and what the original poster was reporting on.

Is it fixed for you ! My photoshop says updated this morning even though I didn't see an update and it still doesn't work 😞

I can't save anything because of a 'program error' ! My work is due today and I can't do anything !

Seems to have been fixed with an update this morning!

please please don’t release such buggy versions of software, you are a company supplying millions of professionals who can’t afford to loose a days work. Your product is the most expensive on the market and as such we expect a product to match, I don’t feel that I am getting that compared to the other options at the moment.

Gone are the days when Adobe was the only option.

And now it’s all fine on the MBP?! What on earth

Photoshop has become a dumpster fire guys. It is now a horribly buggy, unusable, unstable tool and with each new release it seems to be getting worse. PS 22.1 update on a Zbook X2: GPU acceleration: Laggy and Slow (three seconds to zoom in on a 4k image with no layers). Turn off GPU acceleration: Laggy and slow. Turn on GPU acceleration with OpenCL, wait a minute, it might be working now, seems a bit snappier, start working on an image, zoom in, nothing happens, zoom out nothing happens, f*ck another graphics bug, maybe if I save, no! PS can't save because of a program error, sh*t lost all the work I just did (I mean it was only 10 minutes of work, but still no excuse). Guess I'll restart and try again. 

I'm not putting much strain on the software, the file above was a 5 layer, 4k image before Photoshop had a hemmorage. Let's go back in time for a minute... Photoshop prior to the CS2 was a solid piece of kit. It was stable and would rarely crash or have issues. If it did crash, it was usually because of a system issue or user error. It was a workhorse, like a 1976 Mercedes 240D. This latest release runs like a Lada. Photoshop has become a last resort for me. I'll using anything else: Nuke, Resolve, Mari, Procreate, Corel Paint, Krita, Microsoft Paint, a pen and paper, a piece of burnt wood and a rock.

Whatever you guys are doing is not working. Fix this before it gets worse. There's just so much wrong it's not worth listing all the problems. Go back to the last, good version and go from there. If I don't see an improvement over the next few releases I'm just going to stop using it outright. I can't rely on it anymore and I can't spend 90% of my time troubleshooting fixes and only 10% of my time on work. For the sake of the legacy of the software, take the time to fix it, for the love of art. 

Rant over.

Happens every time I try to save, happens across different files and trying to "save as" don't work..

Can't find the solution in the error log.

Please help 😕😕
