Hi there,

 

Sorry that you're getting an error "Error at loading of ippCV library" while loading Photoshop.

 

Photoshop 2021 (v22.x) requires a CPU that supports SSE 4.2 or later. See: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/known-issues.html#ErroratloadingofippCVlibrary

 

To determine if your CPU meets this SSE version support requirement, see Photoshop's Help > System Info dialog and look in or near the 4th line.

  1. Adobe Photoshop Version: 22.0.0 20200921.m.1053 2020/09/21: 0fb66349f4  x64
  2. Number of Launches: 6
  3. Operating System: Mac OS 10.15.5
  4. ystem architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:14, Stepping:3 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3,SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, HyperThreading

 

If after reviewing the above information, your CPU version isn't compatible with Photoshop 22.x. You should roll back to the previous version of Photoshop 21.2.4 and let us know if that helps.   Here's how you roll back to the previous version: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html

 

Thanks,

Akash

Hi everyone,

I am encountering an error message when attempting to use Adobe Photoshop Elements. The error reads:
"Error at loading of ippcv library. Your application is dynamically linked with Intel (R) IPP library version 2020.0.1 (rox35cSec66). No DLL from the list below is found on the system search path: ippcvm7.dll (The most suitable for CPU). Please provide a path to at least one of them."
This issue appears to be caused by the absence of the file, which is part of the Intel Performance Primitives for Computer Vision (IPPCV) library. Photoshop Elements relies on this library for optimized image processing. Without the required file, the software is unable to function properly, preventing me from accessing my images or completing my work.
Despite several attempts to resolve the issue, including searching for the missing DLL file and trying to reinstall the software, the problem persists. I have been directed to the Intel Support Community but have not yet found a clear solution.
The goal is to obtain a valid and compatible version of the file and instructions for integrating it into the appropriate system directory to resolve this error.

David,

 

What version of Photoshop Elements?

 

Your computer's processor most likely doesn't support SSE v4.2 or later as described here in this Adobe KB

under Error at loading of ippCV library

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/known-issues.html#ErroratloadingofippCVlibrary

 

and the SSE v4.2 requirement is listed here in the Photoshop Elements 2025 system requirements

I have the same problem with my old computer. With our own money, which we pay for our subscription, you are making a fool of us.

 

Couldn't you have an option for your legitimate users to choose older versions of photoshop for example 2020, 2019...

Hi everyone,

 

Maybe some people still have the same problem. That's why I decided to write. I will share an article where you can find solutions for ippcvm7.dll and all similar dll errors you experience in Adobe Photoshop. Hopefully it benefits your business. The link is below. Good luck!

This fix worked for me!  I would backup the original files first, just in case.  Then go ahead and replace with the downloaded files.  Open Photoshop and it works. Follow the instructions in t he video https://youtu.be/wCOwEnJkZb4

Thanks @Gametrickser

Olá Which CPU do you have?

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who cannot and is not willing to purchase a new computr just to be able to use Photoshop.

 

Fortunately, there is now other software out there where I don't have to pay a monthly fee just to use an outdated version of their software.  Affinity Photo and Gimp are only two of them and both are good.  I did like Photoshop, but at $120 per year for outdated software, it's not worth it.
