Installed update today (only thing new on computer lately), 2 full computer crashes in a few hours. 

Ai Tools seem much improved 🙂

[julia_7998]

I’ve noticed the same thing! The new tools are great, but the crashes are rough. Hopefully, they sort it out soon because the update definitely has potential.

Can't even open Photoshop anymore, I think it worked today at some point, now it's just freezing while opening. The last thing it does is 'Building color conversion tables...' in the opening popup while standing in a frozen state. Latest Nvidia drivers.

I had the same issue earlier — Photoshop just froze on that color conversion step. Ended up taking a break and watching something on the Castle film app while it tried to open. Hopefully Adobe fixes this in the next update.

Since the upgrade my photoshop is not working. Program issue? I seriously need to get work done and this is a problem.

[atif_ariff8793]

Photoshop 2025 not opening after update in windows 10. It is freezing in a few seconds after intial click and the software opening and showing Adobe Photosho 2025 (not responding).

installed the new update and now later masks arent working like they always have. I cant replaces faces on images. I add a layer mask, invert it and when I go to brush it on nothing happens. Any advice?

[alex 307]

This update looks amazing! New projects feature and faster CJK text rendering will be very helpful. Can't wait to try it — thanks for the hard work!

Her geçen gün daha da kötüye gidiyor. 26.11'de bir çok hata var. En basiti ctrl+alt+0 ya da  ctrl+0 komutları bile tutarsız çalışıypr. Şuan için en kararlı sürüm 26.5 

[WhoNeedsNormal]

App completely crashes immediately on iPad now. I was just in the middle of a project so that's suuuuuper cool.

[Archangel of France]

Hello,

What happens after 3 years? Will there be an upgrade, or will I have to buy the entire program again?

[Jilal_Star5995]

Sounds exciting! :rocket: Every new Photoshop update seems to push the limits a bit further — curious to see what’s new in this one, especially around collaboration and rendering. Have you tried the new features yet?

[alex 307]

This update looks awesome! Love how it's easier to work with others now. I wonder if Delta Executor could help run some cool Photoshop scripts with this new version!

PS keeps crashing and I can barely make it work.   Super frustrating...

[laso_bakoli0318]

Just installed today’s update — literally the only change on my computer — and I’ve already had two complete system crashes within hours.

On the bright side, the AI tools feel noticeably sharper 🙂
