Lost Saved Color Swatches in Recent Update (Photoshop 2026)
My Adobe Creative Cloud Application on my Macbook 2023 just had me update my Photoshop application this morning (04/01/2026) at around 10 am-ish. It was taking too long and I had work to do, so I canceled the update. When I went to open my Photoshop, I got an error that it couldn’t open because it wasn’t finished or it had been damaged. I tried restarting my computer and I got the same problem when I clicked directly on my Photoshop app. When going into the Creative Cloud application, the Photoshop app wasn’t even installed. After reinstalling it and finally getting it to open, my Workspace was completely changed up and my saved swatches were gone. I followed the directions of others who had gone through the same problem, but my swatches are nowhere to be found.
I use these swatches for work so their really important and I really need to get them back. The reason I do have their code saved anywhere was because I had them saved in my Photoshop workspace. I didn’t have a reason to believe I’d lose them after an update as I’ve had updates since getting them and I’ve never had this problem before.
Please, if there’s anyway I can get all my information back and have my workspace returned as I had it, that would be appreciated.
Thanks.
