Cannot open Photoshop 2020 on macOS 10.15 Catalina

I am unable to open Photoshop 2020. I have tried using shift-option-command to no avail. Photoshop CC 2019 works fine.

iMac 2015

Catalina OS 10.15

Wasted my whole morning but still can't get Photoshop opening on my mac. Can't find where to download Pshop 2019. Now I have no way to use Pshop at all! Are there any alternative apps I can use? For drawing and image refining mostly? Thanks.

Hi, thanks for all your advice.

I updated to Catalina OS and was then unable to open any photoshop files with text in it or to select type tool once I had a file open (photoshop would crash immediately or alert with error messages).

I followed instructions on other forums to verify my fonts but had no luck.

I have just updated my photoshop to the latest version and now everything is working perfectly - Thank you!

try re-login from your Creative Cloud, and open your Photoshop again
It works for me.. 👍

It's not worth wasting my time.
I open it and it takes 30 minutes...and another 30 minutes to save minutes
of work and it just freezes up. I'm not going to bother with it again. Very
angry that Adobe charges me money for this mess.

I have the same problem on my MacBook with Catalina 10.15.7 installed. I have tried every remedy I can find on this Adobe Support Community site: Command-Option-Shift, and trying to open it from the Applications folder by right-clicking and choosing Open.

I am having the same problem. I can open from Package contents, however PS stalls and the terminal says this error:

The default interactive shell is now zsh.

To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.

So.... now that there is a photoshop 2021 -- are you going to help any of us that still can't get any of the Adobe CC 2020 programs to work on Catalina???!!!

Hi, I have the same problem since I updated to version 2020. When I start Photoshop and XD the icon bounces on the dock but after it closes and an error appears (photo), I also use other Adobe programs, such as Lightroom Classic , Media Encoder and Dreamweaver, but they don't have this problem.
Thank you

I have exactly the same problem as Malta5FF2 above.  Please help.
