P: Photoshop unusable after updating Intel macOS 26 Tahoe

[andyt99418240]

Hello everyone,

Is anyone experiencing Ps not running properly after updating their Macbook Pro to Tahoe 26.0?

Every action takes 10 seconds to load, it's super laggy and literally unusable. I purged, I restarted, I reinstalled, I did it all - nothing. 

Any ideas? Is this a bug Adobe/Apple have to sned an update for?

16in 2019 i9, UHD 630, 32GB RAM, 500GB

Thanks, have a good day

Hi, thanks for reaching out! 

MacOS (26) Taheo was released just a few days ago. Our product teams are working on optimizing the apps for the latest macOS. 

Please go to the Help menu in Photoshop, then System Info, and copy the text. You can share the info with us by either pasting it as a reply here or in a text file and sharing the file with us. 

Also, you can try Photoshop Beta to check if you experience the same behavior. You can check out more about Photoshop Beta here: https://adobe.ly/3VkacFN

Let us know how it goes! 
Thanks,
Nikunj

Will attempt your work-around.

""Unusable" is right. Horrible. This is the first time I've ever upgraded to an OS without waiting for at least .2 and I don't know why I did it, but man am I ever being punished for it. Absolutely horrible. AND Apple will no longer allow you to back-install to the previous OS. Yeah, I checked. I'd have to bring my tower to an Apple store. I hope Adobe considers this urgent, because I'm dead in the water."

I don't know if you can help me with this or not, but I need to sing the praise of an Adobe support agent. I never got the survey link. Her handle is Madhushree, and she was phenomenal. It took hours, and she just rocked it.

Any idea how I can get that message where it needs to go?

[ExUSA]

Working fine here on an Intel MBP and an M1 mini. I did have to downgrade the Wacom driver, and of course their Tahoe compability update doesn't support the tablet model I have at work and home 😠

[andyt99418240]

Hello Nikunj, thank you for the answer. Please find the doc at he link below.

I'm interested to see the progress of this thread because I just received notification from Apple to upgrade to Tahoe. I haven't even decided yet whether to upgrade from Monterey to Sequoia because every time there is an update from Apple there are problems with coloour management in the print pipeline that take forever to get sorted, if ever. Coherence between the major players in this industry remains an on-going problem. Let us hope there will be enough interest at the managerial levels of both companies to sort this. 

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

My two cents - I never upgrade a Mac OS until I see an update from Adobe for my primary applications (in this case PS). Being on the cutting edge of new OS releases is usually a bumpy road at best with bugs, software compatibility, etc. 

On the flip side being too far behind can also hurt you in reverse - Adobe app updates take advantage and are built for the latest releases and are only supported 2 OS versions back (read: Monterry outdated soon). 

Understanding its too late now @andyt99418240 but you may have to be patient until the next update from PS comes out to address any Tahoe related issues. Food for thought next OS upgrade. 

[ExUSA]

There will likely be new major app versions released at Adobe MAX in October. I suspect that Windows 10 support will last until 2026 MAX, while macOS support will follow previous release history and Intel support will be pulled in 2-3 years time. Adobe will also likely expand support for Windows 11 ARM computers.

[samsdadgraphics]

"Unusable" is right. Horrible. This is the first time I've ever upgraded to an OS without waiting for at least .2 and I don't know why I did it, but man am I ever being punished for it. Absolutely horrible. AND Apple will no longer allow you to back-install to the previous OS. Yeah, I checked. I'd have to bring my tower to an Apple store. I hope Adobe considers this urgent, because I'm dead in the water.

[Trevor.Dennis]

Sam, if you are still stuck, would a previous Photoshop version work for you?  I mostly use Windows 11, but do have an M2 MacBook Pro with Tahoe, and the current release version is working OK.  (Beta is updating)

[samsdadgraphics]

Thanks, but I think that would be worse. If current PS doesn't like new OS older PS will like it less. I think.

[Sameer K]

While Photoshop and other Adobe apps have yet to receive compatibility updates for macOS Tahoe, our user @helpful_parent4032 has shared a Reddit thread that might help. Please feel free to try it and check if it helps: https://adobe.ly/4mvZVRY

Thanks!

Can it be that easy?

Has anybody tried this??

[ExUSA]

It can't be that alone, I have three machines on Tahoe where my apps stay open and I'm not seeing slowdowns on any of them. One Intel, one M1, one M3.

The Intel is my production box at work (Photoshop and Bridge ALWAYS running) and my M1 is at home (Photoshop and Lightroom Classic ALWAYS running.) Performance hasn't changed noticeably from Big Sur all the way up to Sequoia.

[samsdadgraphics]

Problems may be centered around the generative fill AI interface.

That's when I really start crapping out.

[ExUSA]

I never use Gen AI.

[Boback]

I feel you, man. This ONE time, I decided to fall for Apple's hype and upgrade on release day. Now I am also paying for it. 

[samsdadgraphics]

Yup. I did it thinking that if it blew-up I could back-install to an earlier OS, discovered later that doesn't work anymore. I'm actually thinking about renting another MacPro and having it installed with Sierra, but as soon as I go to that trouble Apple & Adobe will figure this out. I just spent two hours in PS doing something that should've taken 20 minutes. I'm wondering how much editing I can get done in MidJourney Alpha.

[Jeff Arola]

It would be worth a manual reset of the Photoshop 2025 preferences by going to

Macintosh HD/Users/UserName/Library/Preferences

and trashing the following:

Adobe Photoshop 2025 Settings folder

Adobe Photoshop 2025 Paths

com.adobe.Photoshop.plist

One thing to do before trashing the files is to move any saved Workspaces in

Macintosh HD/Users/UserName/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 2025 Settings/WorkSpaces

so you can put them back after trashing the 2025 Settings folder.

[GP-]

This is a problem! I'm using Photoshop daily and now I can't! is there a fix?

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

@GP- please read the thread - updates are coming but not available currently for Tahoe. 

[samsdadgraphics]

PS launches now but still extremely slow.
