Since yesterday's update, can´t even open a jpg file. Always says: Could not complete your request because of a program error. I need to work.

Hi all,

 

05/20 update: We have resolved another program error issue while dragging assets from libraries to the artboard in Photoshop 22.4.1 update. Could you please update Photoshop to the 22.4.1 version via the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop app and let us know your feedback.

 

Here's how you update Photoshop to its latest version: Update Creative Cloud apps

 

Thanks,

Mohit

Turning off the graphics processor worked, but you guys need to get this issue fixed.

Same problem here when I return to work.  Extremely frustrated and unhappy especially I have an urgent job to finish.

I am having the same issue, and the program locks after the error message comes up. I tried turning off the graphics card, per below, but the latest message onscreen is: Something went wrong. Please restart the program and try again.

I just updated all my adobe cloud software and I am getting the same error. How can I fix this? I can't even close out of photoshop because it gives me the error.

This has to be the most troublesome Photoshop update since CC. So many people with the same problem. Going back to 2020 and everything works again. It is not enough fro Adobe just to blame the environment. There is some bad programming somewhere and it is causing a lot of people to waste a lot of time. I have a mixture of problems on 3 computers, all of which were stable before the upgrades. This has cost me nearly a day of work trying unsuccesfully to solve the problem. Personally I think that if they cannot solve this immediately, they should pull the update but they never do as they never admit to making a mistake. It's going to cost many users a pile of money.

I did disable the videocard, and I also deleted the preferences folder. Neither worked. Went back to ps2020 and all is well again.

I tried turning off graphics processor, no change.  Moved the settings folder, no change.  Reinstalled the old version, no change.  Checked the layers composting box, no change.  Anything else I can try?

Have you checked for a Graphics driver update?

Thank you for the suggestion.  I did update the graphics driver with no change, and then went through all the other steps one more time, again with no change.

Same thing Here. 2021 Photoshop under Prefernces > Performance; I had to uncheck Use Graphics Processor to get the application to even work! I have the latest MAC OS!
