Photoshop Elements 2025 repeated preference corruption

Try this path

Macintosh HD/Users/UserName/Library/Containers/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor/Data/Library/Preferences

then look for and trash the

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2025 Editor Settings folder

and

com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist

Did you buy Photoshop Elements 2025 from the Mac App Store?

Hmm. None of those folders or filenames appear for me in the directories you’ve listed. I wonder if the fact that they’re missing might be contributing to the problem.

Moderators, @Mohit Goyal,  please move this to:  Photoshop Elements | Adobe DME

Maybe a more thorough reset of the Photoshop Elements 2025 preferences is in order.

I suggest going to Macintosh HD/Users/UserName/Library/Preferences

and trashing the

Adobe Photoshop Elements 25 Settings folder

and also trashing the

com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist

In addition go to Apple>System Settings>Privacy & Security>Full Disk Access and add the

Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app

in

Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 2025/Support Files

to the list if it’s not already there.

The User Library is hidden by default, so to see it follow these instructions:

This is on a Macbook Neo, and the program was functioning fine previously.

Instead of applying the adjustment, the selection menu just collapses back to its initial state before I navigated to Color > Saturation (etc.).
