Photoshop Still Stable with Mojave?

Photoshop is typically my most stabile app. I recently had corrupted prefs, which I reset then experienced a new corruption a few dasy later. This is uncharacteristic on my system. Is it possible that Photoshop is no longer stable with Mojave?

 

I have an important legacy app that will not currently run on Catalina, so I have putoff that upgrade for the time being. But Photoshop is my primary app, and needs to run smoothly. I have made no recent alterations to my system or added any apps. The only hardware change is a newer SSD for Photoshop scratch, but the first corrpution occured prior to that aquisistion.

Thanks for any insight.

 

MacPro (2013) OS 10.14.6. PShop CC 21.2.3

You might want to check and see that Photoshop has Full Disk Access as shown below:

Thanks gener7, I have enabled this. But was is the practical advantage here? I can't see why PShop would need access to data from Mail, Safari, etc. I thought the trend was to prohibit personal data mining?

Read that sentence as "give Ps the same trusted access privileges as Mail, Messages, Safari, Home, Time Machine". It doesn't access and use data from those trusted Mac apps.

 

Full Disk Access feature is much like a security check at an airport. When you grant “Full Disk Access” to an app it is added to the white-list of applications that are now marked as safe to work with your data. At the same time, all other applications will be greeted with “You Shall Not Pass.” The protected areas that require Full Disk Access permission are your Mail, Messages, Safari, Home, Time Machine.

AFAIK, Photoshop is stable on Mojave.
