Hello everyone,

Is anyone experiencing Ps not running properly after updating their Macbook Pro to Tahoe 26.0?

Every action takes 10 seconds to load, it's super laggy and literally unusable. I purged, I restarted, I reinstalled, I did it all - nothing. 

Any ideas? Is this a bug Adobe/Apple have to sned an update for?

16in 2019 i9, UHD 630, 32GB RAM, 500GB

Thanks, have a good day

    ALL - Adobe MAX starts next Tuesday (10/28) and with that historically comes new product updates including Photoshop. Expect that version to be compatible with Tahoe.

    Hi, thanks for reaching out! 

    MacOS (26) Taheo was released just a few days ago. Our product teams are working on optimizing the apps for the latest macOS. 

    Please go to the Help menu in Photoshop, then System Info, and copy the text. You can share the info with us by either pasting it as a reply here or in a text file and sharing the file with us. 

    Also, you can try Photoshop Beta to check if you experience the same behavior. You can check out more about Photoshop Beta here: https://adobe.ly/3VkacFN

     

    Let us know how it goes! 
    Thanks,
    Nikunj

      Will attempt your work-around.

       

      ""Unusable" is right. Horrible. This is the first time I've ever upgraded to an OS without waiting for at least .2 and I don't know why I did it, but man am I ever being punished for it. Absolutely horrible. AND Apple will no longer allow you to back-install to the previous OS. Yeah, I checked. I'd have to bring my tower to an Apple store. I hope Adobe considers this urgent, because I'm dead in the water."
