    that's crazy. Each next version of PS brings more and more bugs. Can't work at all. Facing this issue while working with overlays, when trying to save document. Hate it :((((((

    Photoshop's GPU requirements have increased for 22.0. Try the solutions here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/known-issues.html#ProgramErroropeningfiles 

    If your card is not supported you may need to upgrade your graphics card.

    I'm having the same issue: cannot complete your request because of a program error. Suddenly I can't use Photoshop any more, and I have no idea how to fix this. I need to work on these files, but cannot even open one!

    System is Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.6
    Photoshop CS3

    Message 'Could not complete your request because of a program error' appears randomly plus sometimes the programme itself has to be forced to close.

    There are no steps that will CONSISTENTLY reproduce the issue as it is entirely random.

    My issue is that surely this is something for either Apple or more likely Photoshop THEMSELVES to address - not loads of ordinary users like me.

    There are several replies from Adobe on this thread. What is your specific problem? Can you provide details about your setup and steps to consistently reproduce your issue?

    Why the hell aren't bloody Adobe or Apple answering these questions? When did we arrive at a situation where ordinary users are supposed to solve bugs in programmes?!
