At least a half-dozen times over the past ten days, while working on extensive masking, Photoshop Beta freezes with a red frame around the window. Usually the beach ball spins, and I have waited for up to 3 days for the program to unfreeze. Once I let it spin over the weekend, but upon returning on Monday, it was still spinning and frozen.
There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason. No sequence of events causing it, no error message, no "scratch disk error" message, no message at all. No recoverable files are found or opened when the system is reset and the program relaunched. It's happened often enough - and lost me hours of time - that I am no longer comfortable using the beta version. A screen shot of how the Photoshop Beta desktop looks when it's frozen is attached.
