Photoshop Could Not Complete Your Request Because Of A Program Error

Hello, I'm using the latest version of Photoshop CC downloaded yesterday onto a brand new 2019 HP Spectre x360 Laptop also purchased yesterday. I am on this device because my Apple MacBook Pro is undergoing repairs.

I saved this .psb file of an email design for a client FOUR times to be SURE it was saved prior to falling asleep last night. Now today I receive the error upon trying to open it "Could not complete your request because of a program error". PLEASE if you can help me open this file I will greatly appreciate it.

The file in question is located here:

PSB Error - Google Drive

I am greatly puzzled at how or why this issue is occurring on a brand new device + version of Photoshop. I am so tired of being forced + bullied into paying upwards of $60 a month on products by Adobe only for their to be CONSTANT bugs + issues across not only Mac but also Windows platforms too.

Thanks if anyone can help me. With all of the technical issues I am experiencing already + having to spend $1700 on a new laptop, this is just the icing on the cake. I am beginning the process of just redesigning what I did, but if anyone could help I would SO greatly appreciate it again.

Hi brandonh,

Sorry that you're getting an error message "could not complete your request because of a program error" while accessing a particular file in Photoshop.

I tried opening the file at my end but getting the same error. I think the file is corrupt, you may try recovering it as mentioned in this article: Troubleshoot file recovery in Photoshop

Thanks,

Akash

Hi

Tried opening and getting the same error as you, you should really be keeping incremental backups of you important files for situations like this, I even backup my backups
