Hi,

 

just that! - Transforming Smart objects crashes photoshop.

I use a lot of smart obejcts, to keep objects high quality dimensions, etc. And, in this last 2 or 3 updates of Photoshop Bets, when I click -T, the photoshop crashes 80% of the times. It's nerve wracking.

If you could fixit will be amazing.

 

Thanks a lot

Best,

Rita Cesário

Hi @RitzCesar 

 

1. Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)


C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings


Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

2. It may help if we could see your Photoshop beta System Info. Launch Photoshop beta, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.
