Hi,

I am having problems with Photoshop 5.1 (yes I am aware it is old but I don't need it often, but when i do it's important). Everytime I try and adjust or change previous art file it crashes with no error code or warning and does not save any work. I am using a Macbook pro 2012 and have updated to the latest update.

For this I am losing business and time. Could someone please contact me so I can resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Many thanks

Sasha

I can tell you, that you are not using the latest macOS, which is Catalina (10.15). I can also tell you that Apple have blocked old apps in Catalina including all Creative Suite: if you upgrade your system you WILL need to pay to upgrade all your apps as well. This is part of the Joy of Mac.

One other possiblity is the photoshop preferences may have been corrupted during the upgrade.

Go to /Users/User Name/Library/Preferences

and trash the

Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 Settings folder

Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 Paths

com.adobe.Photoshop.plist

The User folder is hidden by default, so an easy way to get to it is click on your desktop, click Go and hold down the Option key, then click Library, which is your User Library.

Hello, IMHO, if you say losing business, and time, the most straighforward option for you and maybe cheaper for you time/money wise, would be to invest in the photography plan, that would cost you about 10 dollars a month, easily recouped on one single job for the whole year, and that you can also substract as a purchase from your taxes in most countries...
