When I open PS (latest version) I get an error, "gradient file is bad or corrupted." I checked on this a while back and there were othe people having this same issue but now I can't find any post that refer to a fix. Does anyone have a fix? Will uninstalling and re-installing it fix it?
Solution for "Gradient File is bad or Corrupted."
Exit Photoshop.
Locate your Gradients.PSP file.
In Windows, it's located in C:\Users\**Username** \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2020\Adobe Photoshop 2020 Settings
Copy it to a temporary folder. You probably won't need it but save it, just in case.
Delete the Gradients.PSP file from the Adobe Photoshop 2020 Settings folder above. Photoshop will regenerate a new Gradients.PSP file when launched.
Launch Photoshop. If you still get the error, create a new document and use a gradient preset. Then quit and reopen Photoshop.
That should resolve it.
