Hi there,

Sorry that you're getting an error message "Could not initialize Photoshop the PNG file could not be parsed" every time you open Photoshop.

Which version of Photoshop are you using? Would you mind taking a look at this similar discussion https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/cannot-parse-the-file-solved/td-p/8079893 and let us know if that helps?

Thanks,
