Photoshop Ver 27.6 is giving me this error saying it cannot load measurment scale presets. I can open old files but if I save them or make a new copy I cannot open them again. How do I fix this?

    Hey, @HeroMackzZ. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I am sorry for the delay in getting to your post. I'll help you figure this out. Please share the system information from Photoshop Help > System Info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here. 


    We have seen the same error, and a bug was fixed:n https://adobe.ly/4dn45dG


    Have you recently also updated Windows or any other drivers? go to the location of the preference folder below and rename it to backup.

    • Windows 10/11: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings

    • You can press Press the Windows key > Enter 'Run' > Enter %APPDATA%\Adobe

    • Rename the Adobe Photoshop folder by adding a .old at the end. (Adobe Photoshop 2026 > Rename > Adobe Photoshop 2026. old), You can restore these preferences later if you need to.(https://adobe.ly/4860qM9)

    • Restart the computer.


    These changes will give Photoshop a fresh start as a new install. Let me know how it goes.

    Thanks!
