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.

    ​@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.

    The color issue was know in the public beta?! That is just incredible. 
    We're already two weeks further from an obviously large group of people having issues with the official release, and no update yet.

    The team is probably busy implementing more ai features nobody asked for.

    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)?

    Similar here. Running Creative Cloud at work but, at home, I’m still using CS5 which I bought with some of my redundancy payoff back in 2011. Of course, if (when) my desktop PC finally gives up, I’ll have to shop around for alternatives… Or just take advantage of the modern equivalent of the Xerox Subsidy.
