CC 2017 a disaster.

I updated all my Adobe programs to CC 2017 except for Lightroom and now I am having trouble with several Adobe software programs, including Lightroom 2015.7 and Audition 2017. The programs crash. So, I have had enough and will not renew my subscription at the end of this year. My wife told me not to update and I did it anyway, and now the programs don't work. I will go back to Audition CS6 and Lightroom 5.7. They work perfectly and are so advanced, they meet all my needs.

i too have issues with photoshop cc 2017 crashing and reinstalling makes no difference to the problem [unknown error with no number or id at all] - dreamweaver loads but has less than 60% function [if it even loads at all] i refuse to get the rest as i do not use them in any capacity.

i used them on windows 7 x64 and x86 professional, and, ultimate editions, windows 8.1 same archs and even 10 pro x86/x64 with the same result.

i borrowed a few friends systems, 2 being specially built for adobe, autodesk and even more higher end studios with exactly the same issues, so i redowned the installers, checked with the md5/sha and nothing funky there, checked systems with many tools and nothing there.

yet i got to borrow an imac and they worked just as advertised [i think there is a little more than just machine condition here] so i asked another friend to show me her system again rigged for these softwares - hers is an intel i7 the others i tried [mac included] are amd. so i got to thinking could there be issues with amd systems? if so then a fix is way overdue as not all pc's are intel or infact even windows machines. 1 way to check is build solely for amd and try slacking the code requirements a little, after all adobe did change things after the original makers had it going on all but wet string and ice cream tub.

This thread is about a year old and it is about Lightroom, not Photoshop.

It actually makes no sense to re-use this old thread.

Please open a new thread for your issue in the respective forum - thanks.

Hello John,

I've been experiencing the same troubles with Illustration InDesign and Photoshop CC2017 when I upgraded them. I work with Win7 64bits and Photoshop took around 15 minutes to open the firsts CR2 file when I click on "Modify into Photoshop..." then it's ok.

That makes Ps unusable indeed. I've reinstalled all CC (with the process given by Adobe support - which resets almost everything to scratch). Same result. I've updated my graphic card drivers. Same result.

I've found that link in the KB : Download Creative Cloud apps

So I revert to CC2015 for my apps. This works fine.

Hope this helps

Cyril

Who needs lightroom anyway ? I have been using Iridient for some time now. So much better than Lightroom. Their customer service is a breath of fresh air. Bye bye lightroom

I agree with the title, it is a disaster, but for me the software works ok, but so many things have been changed in the way it works, for instance with how layers display and how to copy and paste and delete selections, that i need to relearn a program i could do magic with, since i work with the program for such a long time, and i was very used to the way it worked, now i'm constantly cursing the programs cause they do things i don't want.
So i will be going back to my old versions too, Updates to take out bugs are fine, or add new functionality, but completely changing the way the software works is a no no for me.

Changing so much the way the software works is one of the biggest problems that Adobe creates. They put things in a different menu and you have to relearn to use the program. That is one of the reasons I cancelled my subscription. The CS6 series gives me 99% of what I need and having the additional 1% in the CC series is just not worth the money because the new versions are so difficult to relearn and there are glitches that cause a nightmare. That, plus having to reinstall all my plugins.

Indeed, it hampers production a lot, with updates like this, i'm having to put in hours to learn how Abobe have changed the way the program works, but in the end you can't do anything really new aside from some new functions that are usually nice for people who want to edit a photograph quickly, not professionals, to illustrate, i make textures for games, they need to be perfectly seamless, there is no program in the entire world that can make textures seamleass like i do by hand, all the automatic routines to make textures seamless have their visual problems, so they built in a function in 2015 cc that you can crop a photograph, and even crop it bigger so Photoshop fills in what is missing, they simply cut chunks of a similar looking piece and paste that three or more times in the missing part creating a lot of repetative patterns in the photograph/texture , it's absolutely unusable for professional work, but it's nice for amateurs, so i don't need that funtionality.

It's obvious that all company's are changing their programs for the big masses, so they can make more profit from it, there is nothing wrong with making profit, but i just wish they'd make 2 different versions then, one for amateurs and one for professionals.
Before the CC versions they where doing that imo, now they mix all stuff up in one big application, i don't like that at all.

This really jacks me up!

Way back in the 80's I was able to use the first version of adobe Illustrator. It was very basic, but I loved it. I have been using ever since.

My 2017 Illustrator is working OK so far, but I am really pissed that I can't make a transparent background anymore!

It seems to me that they must have a completion to see who can screw it all up first.

Maybe disgruntle software engineers are trying to sabotage Adobe from the inside?

I will be cancelling my subscription too!

Yes, the entire CC software experience has been terrible. That is why I went back to my CS6 versions of all the Adobe products that I have. They work perfectly! They do everything I want to do with my images and audio files. No more $600/year for software that has problems.

Sorry to hear about your trouble. I upgraded my Surface Pro 4 with 64-bit Windows 10, and have had no issues at all. In fact, some issues were fixed finally.

So, maybe the problem is on your computer? Drivers? Windows update? The great majority has no problems whatsoever with the new updates of CC (myself included with Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe XD, Lightroom, Indesign), but you have a problem a and jump right away to the conclusion that it's all a disaster?

I have all the latest drivers and Windows updates. My computer is not the problem. It's the Adobe CC software. I have gone back to CS6 for Photoshop and Illustrator, and version 5.7.1 for Lightroom. All is well now, including all plugins. Adobe needs to keep the path to plugins constant so that plugins don't need to keep being re-installed with each CC update. By "majority" you imply that a minority has problems. I guess I am part of the minority.

I'm just saying that you are jumping into the conclusion that it's the CC app's without any shred of evidence. Just the fact that you updated them and something broke, doesn't mean the fault is on the CC apps. Maybe the recent CC apps need something that you computer isn't delivering. If the problem was that big to be a disaster, lots of users would be complaining... A lot!

I'm using a Mac mini late 2014 model with an i7 processor - Yosemite OS - Adobe Audition CC 2015 Apollo Twin Duo Thunderbolt ...All Worked Great!!!...as soon as I (last night) Upgraded to Sierra installed Adobe 2017 and installed software for Apollo Audio Interface....After creating and saving a mix session -my mixing sessions will not open...my Mac freezes and is alot slower. Any advice on this issue...already uninstalled and reinstalled audition. I hope Adobe is ready to pay for equipment if it results damaged from such crappy software. Any suggestions?

I guess you are part of the minority that has a problem with the latest CC update, like me. I went back to Audition CS6 after uninstalling all the CC software and cancelling my subscription.

Hi

I had the same behaviour in Adobe Photoshop CC earlier this year it would crash when I tried to open any file, it turned out to be the driver to my graphics adapter that messed things up, it hadn't been updated for quite a while, as soon as I got it updated, Photoshop has run perfectly ever since.

My problem was on a Dell Latitude laptop E6540 with Windows 10 and an AMD Radeon HD 8790M graphics adapter.
