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.

Well, the problem goes away but now I cannot access any of my files on the other user? So what now? How do I transfer all my files to the new user?

Prior to trying to correct the user, can you try this log generation for Mac OS X.

Switch back to the bad/affected user account, and then confirm you can reproduce the problem.

Then, to collect sysdiagnose, hit shift-control-option-command-period. The screen will flash and a few minutes later a finder window should open with an archive

That sounds like you might be hitting one of the known MacOS 10.10 bugs -- which we have documented for Apple, and Apple is working on solutions for.

You are using Photoshop CC (14.2) not the latest version Photoshop CC 2014 (15.2).

And the log says you have a problem with your color profiles or color settings directory - if it happens at launch, then it would be the color settings directory; if it happens when switching apps, then the colorsync profiles or cache are more likely.

MacOS 10.10 has well known problems in the OS open and save dialogs that can cause program errors. Some people have avoided the problems by changing the view in the OS dialogs, others have not been so lucky.
Apple is aware of these issues in MacOS 10.10 and working on solutions.

The solution is as simple as frustrating in the problem. All you have to do is to reset Photoshop CS6’s Preferences File - I have CS6, if you have other version reset that one. And also, following exactly the same steps, reset Camera Raw settings. To learn how to reset Photpshop preference file watch this great video with Julianne Kost: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complet...

Don't forget to do exactly the same steps with Camera Raw.
Let me know if it worked for you.

Program Errors have many different causes, and resetting the prefs may fix a few, but not all of them.

That is a generic "we don't know what went wrong" message. You'll have to provide a lot more information to figure out what is causing it on your system.

I'm using PS CS6 Extended, and I'm receiving this error for: color dropper tool, the sliders in replace color, draw figure (line, polygon etc). Opening and saving the documents is working fine for me, and its been only a few days since I'm receiving the error.

Something in your document is trying to pass a bad color mode to a layer function that expects a valid mode for layers. My guess would be shape layer tools, but resetting prefs should clear that.
