Hey, this may not help all, but it was my issue with the most recent update in Photoshop and experiencing crashing. After thinking I tried everything, I read the following support post and it did the trick. Apparently, my Nik filters weren't playing nicely with this newer version of PS.
Paying it forward to someone else in need!
Identify a problematic plug-in
To quickly determine whether Photoshop is crashing due to a problematic optional or third-party plug-in, do the following:
- Close Photoshop.
- Hold down the Shift key and launch Photoshop. A dialog appears during the launch that reads Skip loading optional and third-party plug-ins.
- Click Yes to skip loading optional and third-party plug-ins.
- Launch Photoshop.
If Photoshop launches successfully, an installed optional or third-party plug-in is causing the problem. For more information, see Photoshop plug-ins troubleshooting.
