HELP!!  Photoshop won't open any of my files that were created/saved in 2020 on my Mac. I've tried JPG, PNG, PSD, PDF, TIFF images. Nothing will open with the latest Adobe upgrades. This is severly affecting my business and I have too many files for me to address individually. Is Adobe aware of this issue?

 

JPG message:  "Could not open because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (tile may be truncated or incomplete)"

 

PNG message:   "Not a PNG file"

 

TIFF message:  "Not a TIFF file"

Were these files created on a different computer and moved to the new M1? It really looks like the files were damaged by disk failure or during transfer (between computers or over a network).

Can you zip and upload one of the problematic JPEGs to something like Dropbox or similar? 

The other thing you can check on your end first: 

In System Preferences (System Settings in Ventura), >Security & Privacy, >Full Disk Access, do you see Photoshop listed? If not, add it and try again.

This explains how to do the same process in Lightroom; just pick Photoshop instead:

Thank you for your help. I'm currently running Monterey on the M2 Macbook Pro. I see the Ventura upgrade.

Here's one of the files I'm experiencing the issue with:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/0sv96h0jddryblw/BombshellStamps.com-DS2302.lovenluck.png?dl=0

It looks like these files are damaged. No application can open them. It looks like a failing hardware issue (harddisk or connection)

It won't let me open files created as new as 2021, in Photoshop format. All this due to the most recent upgrade. Did not have this issue before. I'm a graphic designer and have customers needing art with changes I now cannot access.

You're right. I can't believe I didn't realize that. Thank you for taking the time to reply. I traced it back to a faulty flash drive that had transfered tons of old files. I appreciate your help.
