(10107211) Photoshop 2026 and 2023 crashing

Hi Sameer @mention,

Thank you again for your suggestions.  I created a new administrative account, and the same crashing occurs with PS 2023 and 2025/v. 26.  I'm happy that PS 2022, 2024 and especially PS beta are working.  I'm wrking around the problem with LR Classic not recognizing PS 2023 by dragging and dropping the image that I want to edit into the app which I am keeping in my Dock.

Hi Sameer @mention,

Thank you for your response.  Yes, the problem persists even when I do not have LR Classic open.  In addition,  I tried opening both PS 2023 and 2025v26 while holding the SHIFT key as well as trying to open them holding the SHIFT-COMMAND-OPTION keys and deleting the preferences.  That would open the programs, but I could not shut them and reopen them without holding down the SHIFT-COMMAND-OPTION keys, losing all of my preferences each time. In addition, I was unable to use my TK panels with the programs, as clicking on any mask or selection through the TK panels would crash the programs. After that, I uninstalled both programs and re-installed them.  The problems persisted.  I gave up and uninstalled 2025v26 and tried the Beta PS, which works without problems.  As a temporary fix I installed PS 2024 as a poor substitute for 2025v26 and I installed PS 2021 to substitute for 2023 (but I cannot use my TK panels in that version), because I like to have one PS version that runs on Rosetta so that I can access my older filters and also my legacy extensions.   I have not updated PS 2024 to 2025 because when I did that, the program kept crashing.  I really don't want to change my Mac OS from Sonoma to Sequoia, because I am afraid that my older PS programs will not run on Sequoia, and I would lose my ability to use legacy extensions and my older filters.  Sorry that this is so convoluted, but I tried everything that I could think of to rectify the problem prior to posting my problem.  Thank you so much for your help!  Michelle

After updating LR Classic, LR does not recognize my PS 2023. when I try to edit in 2023.    Additionally, unless I open PS 2023 and the newest version of PS 2025/v. 26 by deleting the preferences, I cannot open the programs.  Using Select and Mask in PS 2025/v.26 crashes the program every single time.  Even using the TK9 plug in crashes the program.  I can't disable the GPU because I can't open the program without resetting my preferences, which reenables the GPU.  I am on a Mac Book Pro, 14" 2023,  Apple M2 Max, 96 GB Memory, running Sonoma 14.5.  I have tried reinstalling the most current version of PS without keeping/migrating my preferences, etc., but I am still having the same problem.  I would appreciate any advice that can be provided and TIA!
