NOTE: If you don't use the Home Screen or the new New document dialog, you can disable them:

  • Go to the Edit menu (on Windows)/Photoshop Menu (on Mac)
  • Then navigate to Preferences, then General
  • Enable the option to Use Legacy New Document dialog and deslect the option for Auto-show the Home Screen.
  • Once you've made the changes, relaunch Photoshop.
