Multiple issues with Photoshop 27.10

For a company that charges an exorbitant premium subscription fee, their software stability is a absolute joke. A routine update completely destroyed the core Lightroom-to-Photoshop handshake workflow, rendering the standard 'Edit in Photoshop' feature entirely useless.

When you try to bypass their broken code pathways, you are met with flat, washed-out color profiles that fail to render correctly even when manually assigning the proper color spaces. Adobe clearly does not test their systems properly before forcing updates onto paying users. They are using their consumer base as live guinea pigs for broken code.

Instead of saving professionals time, Adobe’s lack of quality control turns simple, two-minute edits into hours of grueling tech support. It is completely incompetent, frustrating, and unacceptable for software that is supposed to be the industry standard. I am actively looking for alternatives to cancel my subscription.

It is not surprising that so many people are switching away from Adobe’s video editing software, Premier Pro. Adobe is an arrogant, greedy company.

    Hi ​@Andrew22209458uqjz 

     

    I’m truly sorry for the frustration and disruption these issues have caused to your workflow. I understand how upsetting it is when an update affects functionality you rely on professionally.

     

    At Adobe, we thoroughly test updates before they are released. However, software can behave differently across the wide range of hardware, operating systems, drivers, color-management configurations, and other variables in individual environments. Unfortunately, some issues may only become apparent under specific configurations after a release.

     

    The two issues you mentioned, Edit in Photoshop and washed-out/incorrect colors, are known issues. Our teams are aware of them and are actively working to address them as quickly as possible.

     

    We recognize the impact this has had on your work. While these issues have now been identified, we understand that this does not make the time and effort you have already lost any less frustrating.

     

    You can follow the latest updates and available workarounds here: 

     

    In the meantime, please try rolling back to Photoshop 27.9.1 after backing up your preferneces and let us know how it works for you.

    We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while our teams work toward resolving these issues.

    Thanks, Srishti Bali | Community & Engagement Strategist, Digital Imaging | Adobe

    @Andrew22209458uqjz Whilst I do find some of the bugs surprising in the release, given for example that the colour issue was highlighted in the public Beta, I would always advise turning off auto-updates so nothing is ‘forced’. You can keep major versions installed alongside the latest and for minor revisions you can use the CC app to step back. Many, including me, have stepped back to 27.9.1 until that issue is resolved.

    Adobe clearly does not test their systems properly before forcing updates onto paying users. 

    I can still run Photoshop 2020 on a computer so how do you imagine that Adobe is forcing anyone to update Photoshop (or other applications)?
