Can't edit decal/graphic when press edit.

Usually when I pressed edit, photoshop opened and I could edit my graphic/decal in there. Few days later I tried to do the same thing, but photoshop would not open. Please help 🙂

    On Friday, I contacted Adobe support about this issue. It seems they have not heard of this bug, nor do they have a solution for using Photoshop 2022 in the Dimension workflow. We tried many things, but ultimately the only solution that worked was uninstalling Photoshop 2022 (version 23.0.0). I was hoping that this would not be the case as I like to move forward.

     

    I also had Photoshop 2021 (version 22) on my computer, and Dimension still did not open it until I opened PS (version 22) preferences and chose "Reset Preferences on Quit" and restarted Photoshop.

     

     

    At Adobe's request, I then re-installed Photoshop 2022 (without deleting PS 2021) and immediately disabled the workflow between Dimension and either version of Photoshop. They said that this seems to be a Mac-only issue.

    Any unpdate on this besides downgrading to Photoshop 22? I am having the exact same problem. I have Adobe Dimension 3.4.4 and Photoshop 23 and all of a sudden I click edit on a graphic, image, or decal in Dimension and it won't open in Photoshop. Pretty frustrating. 

     

    I also still have Photoshop 22 on my computer and it doesn't open there.

      I can verify and duplicate this issue on two separate computers, my MacBook and my MacPro.

      • Open Dimension 3.4.4, insert flat image for background.
      • Click on image and attempt to "Edit" in photoshop.
      • Clicking on pencil "Edit" icon has no response

      My Photoshop 2012 is Version 23.0.0

      It is critical that I fix this issue as it is something I use multiple times a day. I can roll my software versions backwards, but do we know if Adobe knows about this issue?

      As far as I know, the only fix is to roll the Ps version back. I doubt that Adobe knows about this issue, either way it is a good idea to raise a bug report.

          Adobe decided to drop 3D

          That I understand. However, I am not trying to edit / manipulate a 3D object or design in Photoshop. I am trying to edit a 2D decal on a 3D object. Previously, I could press "edit" and it would let me edit the 2D design in Photoshop. Now, when I press edit, it doesn't do anything at all

            You can try to deactivate Native Canvas in Ps preferences and use Ps old features to activate 3D. If you can share a psd file we can test it on our machines.
