Enabling Rulers Freezes App

Report · Oct 28, 2025

PS Beta 27.1 Mac Os 26.0.1

When I turn on the rulers, processor useage goes way up and then the app freezes with the spinning rainbow cursor.

Hi @Sam Nordemann testing here and not seeing any issues. Please make sure to update to the latest versions:

Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.0.0 20251015.r.25 d1c1320 arm64 (final, Release)

If you are still having issues....

1. Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:

/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac) 

C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings

Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.
