I’ve already installed Photoshop 2026 and reinstalled it. I click “open” and nothing happens. Then I'm only given the option to use it in my browser. Program was working fin before the update. 

I have a Mac with a Radeon Pro 575 4GB graphic processor.

4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor

32 GB of memory

and 2 TB of storage with 1.5 still available.

Running the latest macOS Ventura Version 13.7.8

 

I use this program everyday for my business, help is appreciated!

    I have this issue. The Photoshop icon disappeared along with my install. Now I only have the ‘open in web browser’ option. What the hell Adobe? Where’s the program gone? I don’t want to use in an annoying browser, I want the program back!

    This also happened to my Adobe Illustrator. The only thing that I’ve found that worked was download the 2025 version. Paying for CC and not being able to use the latest version is not cool.
