Question

Can't open jpegs since last update?

Anyone else having a problem? When I try to open a jpeg file in Photoshop now, instead the 'New' file box (as shown) comes up and I can't get my photo open to edit it. I need this at work, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. CS

I apparently can’t reproduce the issue; how exactly are you opening the file?

I open Photoshop as usual, and click file, open, as usual. Select the photo(s) I want to open, and that's what pops up now, instead of the photo I select. I don't know why. I've tried rebooting, opening various files, it's always the same window that comes up and I can't do anything.

What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far? 

Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:
