I have been using PS since 1999 and these new versions [cursing removed] are unusable. I have spent days trying to solve erros and bugs. Why did you nuke such a well oiled software. almost every update since 2018 [cursing removed].... why is there no alternative to PS [cursing removed].

 

why break something that worked so well decades ago

    Correct answer D Fosse

    This is almost always caused by one of two things:

    • an outdated graphics card that no longer meets Photoshop requirements (or driver bugs, but that's much more rarely seen now)
    • not enough scratch disk space (or memory allocation in preferences set too high)

     

    If you're interested in troubleshooting, go to Help > System Info and paste the whole thing in a reply here.

    Absolutely disastrous and unusable.

    New versions also require 50GB of free harddrive space even for simple tasks on small images.  It is as all the worst programmers who were fired from Microsoft got scooped up by Adobe and decided that what we really needed wasnt a functioning app but instead a costly vending machine app.

      i mean some of the new tools are good.... but not at the cost of crashing and display bugs and errors. When you have been using the sameworkflow for decades just a minor tweak throws you off so much. For deacdes photoshop was super solid and never crashed.... like never. Since 2018 i have had tons of issues daily.
