I upgraded yesterday and as long as I do simple tasks like changing a file size I'm good. As soon as I start to get complicated, ie: changing the color in a duotone or adding an effect to a layer, it crashes. I can't get my work done!

It seems to be dealing with Smart Objects.

Go to the Apple Menu/About this Mac - It will tell you how much Memory you have.

Have you run all Photoshop updates? What is the current version of Photoshop you are running?
Try go to Photoshop/Preferences/Performance and turning on Legacy Compositing.

Leagcy compositioning doesn't work. There is now another update available so I'll try hopefully that fixes the issue

Try going into Performance Prefs and turning off Use Graphics Processor.

I'm experiencing regular crashing also. Doing my head in, thinking about possibly moving to a different application. Each update seems to have a new bunch of bugs.
Latest crash was simply opening a new file (with two currently open). One file was 43MB and the other tow less than 2MB.

Yes! This is still happening and it's frustrating. Almost every few times I use a complex brush or a file with a few styles I get the wheel of death. This is not acceptable. I keep loosing work.

This is still happening. When it does it, it doesn't keep the tool presets, brushes or anything new I add. It only keeps them if I close Photoshop after installing them. This is unacceptable. It's extremely frustrating to be working on professional software for it to STILL be doing this. Also when I use my XP-Pen it makes it worse, it crashes more often when I use it.

Same problem here, Photoshop 2020 keeps crashing on Catalina 10.15.3
And not only crashing, it completely tears the whole Mac apart, only thing to do then is force shutdown... 😕
Even when there is nothing special, just using the lasso tool, suddenly spinning beach ball and that's it...

Mine is crashing as soon as I try to use the text tool. Brand new Photoshop, brand new Mac.

Same here. Every time I update Photoshop anymore my workflow grinds to a complete halt. THIS TIME it is because every time I select the text tool, Photoshop instantly crashes.
Software companies just don't care anymore.
Update: I re-installed Photoshop 2019 (20.0.8) and the type tool works just fine. So it’s Adobe’s fault. This the 3rd game-breaking bug I have found trying to use Photoshop 2020 so far in the last 2 days. It's a total piece of trash. I’ll stick with the last stable version until they get their act together.

I actaully just got this fixed.
For problems with the text tool, try this:
That might fix the problem and perhaps some other font-related problems as well.

I'm having the same exact problem! I did the whole validate font thing and that didn't work either.

I have been having the same problem for weeks now. Calls to Adobe produced 0 results. If I didn't use it so much I would cancel it due to lack of support and issues.

It's becoming painful. Mine freezes at startup splash screen, shuts itself down in the middle of work, and freezes other apps such as Dreamweaver and randomly crashes for no reason at all

I just downgraded to PS 2019 and the app is staying on past opening projects, so....win I guess.

I currently have to switch between 2019 and 2020 because things are completely broken in 2020 that work in 2019, and things are severely broken in the 2019 version I have that work properly in 2020.
Modern software is complete garbage because the term "MVP" went from meaning "Most Valuable Player" to "Minimum Viable Product."
This is what you end up with when you stack your team with league minimum salaried players who don't care.

I've learned if I change from the crop tool to any other tool when I resize it doesn't crash as often.
