new version of PS

[haris7389735]

Well, the new version of bridge and PS have been really disappointing. Constantly crashing, error mesages that need a Ph. D to slove.

The biggest frustrationn is that the panaroma function does not work. What PS does is put a black mask on 2 of the images and a white mask on the middle image and that's what is shown. the image with the white mask.

The first new release for the year always has lots of issues. Sometimes best to hold onto the old version till things get sorted out.

Hi @haris7389735 that sounds frustrating and crazy on the masks, lol. Okay, just for fun, I ran Photomerge to the max scenario. It took about 5 minutes to complete, but it did give me a wild result. I'm using v24.0.0 with Windows 10. We can ask an engineer here to look at your crash reports if you're sending them in. What settings are you using for your panorama?

Bridge.
This occurs every time i first open up rhe application.
Thank you

Hi, just to rule it out maybe try resetting Photoshop, reports here suggest that this can often fix issues that occur after a version update :

Here is some troubleshooting advice:

Perhaps try resetting Photoshop preferences?

(read this entire post before acting please)

Resetting restores Photoshop's internal preferences, which are saved when Photoshop closes.

If they become corrupt then various issues can occur.

Here’s some info on how to do that:

Manually removing preferences files is the most complete method for restoring Photoshop to its default state:

The user Library folder is hidden by default on macOS.

To access files in the hidden user Library folder, see here for how to access hidden user library files.

Unexpected behavior may indicate damaged preferences. Restoring preferences to their default settings is a good idea when trying to troubleshoot unexpected behaviors in Photoshop. check out the video

And here’s an earlier forum discussion as an aid to understanding

You may want to backup your settings and custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences.
