Photoshop Version 25.6 Crashes When Opening Photos with 'Deactivate Native Canvas' Enabled
When "Deactivate Native Canvas" is enabled for smoother performance and smoother scrubbing in Photoshop version 25.6, the application crashes upon attempting to open any photo after relaunching. This issue has been consistent since the 2024 version, despite subsequent updates failing to resolve it.

1. Launch Photoshop version 25.6.
2. Navigate to Preferences > Performance.
3. Check the option for "Deactivate Native Canvas."
4. Close Photoshop and relaunch the application.

**Expected Behavior:**
Photoshop should successfully open the selected photo after relaunching, even with "Deactivate Native Canvas" enabled.
**Actual Behavior:**
Upon trying to open any photo after relaunching with "Deactivate Native Canvas" enabled, Photoshop crashes consistently.
