I'm running into this issue also. Double clicking wont work. Dragging and dropping into photoshop icon works, but so annoying.

Select and try Cmd i (Get Info) on the file. Go down to the "Open with..." section. Is the version of Photoshop you are using listed there? If not you may have to change it. Then click the "Change All" to be sure all PSDs and not just the one you selected open in Photoshop by double-clicking.

It's odd that it works on the second try. For testing purposes only, can you double-click another file in Finder, such as Word or Excel or a PDF and see if they open on the first try or if you have to do it twice?

@Hawkmyster

Are the other files in different folders? Again, for troubleshooting:

try copying a tiff to a folder where you can double-click the other types of files and see if you can double-click the tiff from there
try moving the current folder off the Desktop into Documents and see if it works now
try putting a psd into the current folder on the Desktop and see if double-clicking works for the psd

These may or may not work, but it is what I would be trying...

Did you try to open them by dragging them into the photoshop icon. I would open them in chunks of about 25 photos at a time.

Dragging does work, but thats not the way i work, double click has always worked for 20 odd years but not at the moment..

Frustrating

Bummer it was just a work around I sometimes use.

Did you try rebooting the computer?

or run disk utility?
