On earlier MacOS you were able to right click the droplet as explained in this thread https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/photoshop-droplet-not-working-for-macos-ventura/m-p/13467622

This is no longer a solution on Sonoma.

Have tried to create action and then droplet from scratch. Action runs as it should, but the droplet just get the message that it is damaged.

Anybody have an idea as to how we can fix this?

I found a fix: the reason is that OS thinks that the droplet is from unidentified developer and blocks it, strangely, silently...

Open System Setting > Privacy and Security, click on Open Anyway, then Open and you should see the droplet icon appearing in the doc. You can now quit it: the droplet will work again.

Hi,

Photoshop droplets work in Ventura if we Open the droplet as discussed but on Sonoma - the droplets will not work. The action works but will not save into a different folder - it edits the file and saves over the original. I cannot even get this to work if I try to use the batch function. Can anyone help me?

jillb17,

Can you post a screenshot of the action with the steps open?

Also of the Batch settings.

Your updated to the latest Photoshop 2024 (ps ver 25.7)?

Hi Jeff,
I am attaching the action steps used for the droplet and the batch settings. We are able to get this to work on Ventura sometimes by right clicking on the droplet and opening. This did work in photoshop 2022 correctly for awhile - then just quit working. I tried recreating the droplet to no avail. I also tried recreating the action to no avail.
We have the latest photoshop version of 2024.
Thank you,

Jill Banks
