Photoshop Droplet not working for MacOS Ventura

When I create a simple PS droplet, it will go to the desktop, but when I drag a .jpg photo to the droplet, it says the droplet is damaged. So then I open the droplet and close it and it seems to open Photoshop, but then it won't open a new image and save the droplet preset actions to a new image.

I am in admin mode on my MacOS Ventura.

What else could it possibly be?

macOS

Correct answer Kevin Stohlmeyer

This is a known issue from Ventura:

Here's how to fix:

1. Select droplet.

2. Right-click and choose Open.

3. Click open on the error screen.

4. Go to Droplet app menu/Quit.

The droplet will now work.

Hi @Samantha29451764ompg

Thanks for observing and sharing this with us. We are happy to assist.

Which version of Photoshop are you using? Would you mind sharing more details on the workflow of the droplet you created? Have you tried re-creating the droplet?

Please ensure that the droplet is configured correctly. Double-check the settings for the droplet, such as the destination folder, output options, and file format. Make sure the destination folder exists and that you have appropriate write permissions.

You can try re-installing the application after backing up your settings, brushes, and workspaces. Steps here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#BackupPhotoshoppreferences

Let us know how it goes.

Best,

Ranjisha

Bonjour, depuis la mise à jour de mon MacBook vers macOs 13.1 je ne peux plus faire de Droplet !

PS, CC2023 ou CC2022, les fabrique bien correctement mais quand je les lance pour les utiliser un message s'affiche "« DROPLET TEST » est endommagé et ne peut pas être ouvert. Vous devriez placer cet élément dans la Corbeille."

Avez-vous une solution à me proposer ?

Hello, since I updated my MacBook to macOS 13.1 I can't make Droplet anymore!
PS, CC2023 or CC2022, makes them fine, but when I launch them to use them a message appears ""DROPLET TEST" is damaged and cannot be opened. You should place this item in the Trash."

Do you have a solution for me?

This is a mac issue.

Go to Finder and select your droplet.
Right-click and open.
The error message will come up. Click open.
This will open in the Droplet app (Mac Ventura).
Quit the app and your droplet will now work.

Hi there,

I just updated to Ventura. My droplets that I have made are not working, so I made them again and whenever I drop something on them I get this error: "droplet" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

Any idea how to get the droplet to work?

Thx!

Did some further research. It's an OS bug. Here's a workaround: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10MGw1hhFec

This action shortcut has been used by me and coworker for months, if not over a year now. It's now impossible to use on either of our computers. We've both tried the new versions of Photoshop, uninstalling & reinstalling, rebooting, recreating the action on different versions of Photoshop, and nothing works. We still get this error:

“CONVERT-TO-GRAYSCALE” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

I originally thought this was just an issue on my computer, but the fact that it's also happening to my coworker and another person who's laptop I borrowed to try it out means it's an issue with Adobe.

All of us are using macOS 13.0.1 - the only thing in common, though, between our computers.

Any ideas?

Can't help until you provide the action for download to something like Dropbox.

Have you tried recreating with the PS Beta available in the CC desktop app?

What does your droplet do?

There are known issues with Ventura but droplets specifically are not listed.

Hola,

Ayer instale MacOS Ventura, el último sistema operativo de MAC y todos mis droplets quedaron inservibles, me salta una pantalla dicienddo que están dañados.

He creado nuevos droplets con el sistema operativo y Adobe Photoshop a la última versión y me sigue aparecienddo el mismo problema.

¿Alguna soluución?

The risk associated with being an early adopter for an OS is that Adobe has yet to release an update for Ventura.

You should always check your major software packages prior to doing an OS upgrade like this.

The current PS version was built with Monterey as the OS at the time of release.

Hopefully you can either downgrade back to Monterey or see how quickly Adobe will release an update related to Ventura.

Software companies cannot release OS related updates until the manufacturer (Apple) publicly releases the OS, which was only 2 days ago.
