Photoshop Beta 24.1.0 will not open on M1 Mac

Report · Oct 17, 2022

I rarely used Photoshop Beta but I thought I would give it a try, It is up to date at version 24.1.0. When I launch it from the Creative Cloud app or InDesign nothing happens. When I launch from the Finder I get this message:

The application “Adobe Photoshop (Beta).app” can’t be opened.

I don't see others with the same problem. I would appreciate any help getting it to run.

Yes, same case for me. also using M1 macbook pro.

but notification is written as per attached screenshot.

which isent the case, since my existing balance RAM and disk space is enough for it. Also, previously also manage to be able to use without any issues. also, i have tried using it on google chrome, not working as well, even though version is up to date and its not under incognito mode.

no idea what conflicting setting is possibly causing the prompt of technical notification from adobe.

@Luke26676834v2ax , the original poster was talking about Ps desktop, but it seems you are taking about web, is that correct? If you are, please start a new thread as these would be two different issues to look into.

Happy to see what might be going on, but this would not be the correct thread to discuss web.

Thank you,

Cory

Sorry to hear this @Scott Falkner

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

Thank you,

Hi. I had the same problem. Uninstalling and installing again fixed the issue for me.

Thanks for the update @Scott Falkner

Let's make sure we're in a default state and there are no stale settings somewhere:

Restore your preferences using this manual method:

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually 

Does it work correctly?

If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back.

Thank you,

Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:

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.

Hi @michaelc75411953 sorry you are having this issue. That doesn't look correct, it should be like this:

If yours doesn't look like this, use Creative Cloud app and follow these steps...
