Yes I noticed this last night. It took forever to quit. After about 5 minutes of spinning wheel I was about to force quit when it finally closed. It was the 1st time I shut PS down so I attributed it to the fact that it was the 1st time I used PS since update. We'll see if it happens again tonight.
We're having the same issue with Photoshop 2021 not closing. Also yesterday it wa s eating up all sytem memory and only had a 20Mb file open! Seriously unimpressed with this version of PS.
In the last few days PS seems to through slow patches too - plus slow response keystrokes in Bridge and Photoshop.
e.g. Yesterday I deleted an image in Bridge and it took around 4 seconds to respond.
Same when I try and save images in Photoshop - nothing happens for a few seconds before it says "Saving" in the bar at the bottom. Something strange happening!
PS 2021 on Mac OS 10.15.7. Opened a video animation file in Photoshop. Halfway through the first play through it froze. Had to Force Quit. Then tried relaunching from CC app manager and it never fully came up but the app thinks it is open. Cannot Force Quit (any way I try) the Force Quit window doesn't see it as not responding. However, the app icon in the dashboard does. Can't restart my system to try and clear the issue because it sees PS as open and says to Force Quit.... Catch 22.
I'm having the same issue with both PS and Indesign - freezes on quit and spinning beach ball appears. Have to force quit every time. Seems like it only happens when PS has been left open for awhile.. If I open a file, do a quick edit, and close it, it seems to quit properly.
Yep still having the same issues, as you've found seems OK if only used for a very short time, but any long/heavy use will not close without forcing quit. I thought that I had solved the problem by switching the scratch disk from external drive to system disk, but that turned out to be a fools paradise. I would switch back to PS2020 but chose the wrong option on update (keep old programme) won't be doing that again!!
Thanks for the info, I'll give it a go. Editing 1.5Gb images today so fully expecting a force quit on close. Will let all know if succesful for me too. Have a great weekend.
No joy for me doing the reset. Force quit is just now part of my end of day routine. I bet the app for the iphone works perfectly, only problem with that Adobe is we not all addicted and tied to the phone! Plus try doing Gb plus images on an iPhone with all the inherent attention to detail.
yep same here with PS 2021, everytime I want to quit it the beach ball comes up and I have to force quit it. It happens when I have PS open for a few hours, very annoying please bring out a fix for it. Im using a Mac pro laptop
After the latest update i have noticed that PS 2021 does not quit but instead it comes up with the spinning beach ball and I have to force quit it every time. It doesn't happen after short period of use but if i have PS open for a couple of hours then its force quit time. Im currently running MacBook pro 13 inch and Big Sur operating system. Anybody have any fixes or does Adobe plan on brining out a fix for it?
Any 3rd party plug-ins? 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.
