Photoshop: Could not complete your request because of a program error.

OSX Catalina

Im getting this error message popping up repeatedly all over my screen when I try to do anything with an image.   I cant access preferences without this happening.   Ive tried different versions of Photoshop including the latest but they all do the same thing.   Any ideas how to fix this issue?  This is just happening with PS,   Ohter apps are fine.   Ive also tried running Adobe cleaner, but it didn't help.

Thanks but Ive read this and tried those steps already. The issue is I can’t even open the preferences without getting an error message.

Problem Solved!

I removed all adobe apps, ran the Adobe Cleaner Tool, then trashed the Adobe Apps Support folder on the HDD, not the one in the User Folder, then reinstalled the apps.   Now PS is working without a glitch.

Hi @Regina218508762qbl ,

That was a mission no doubt.

Glad you're sorted.

Thanks for letting us know.

Hopefully this will be of use to others that encounter the same problem

Thanks for this tip Regina! However, I was wondering if there is some simpler solution because I have nine adobe apps installed (and I am currently using eight of them), some of which are installed in two versions because the newest versions are traditionally buggy. Removing and re-installing all of them would be a significant time waste. Anyone found some other fix to this annoying problem?
