.tif file "File Appears to be Unsupported or Damaged" a day after saving from Photoshop

[Ckozak]

The last week I keep having to re-edit some .tif files after saving them from Photoshop. They save fine and show up in lightroom right after, but when I go back to the collection a day or so later I get a "File Appears to be Unsupported or Damaged" message in both Lightroom and Photoshop. I am unable to view the .tif in Finder either and am basically stuck deleteing and re-editing the photo. Lightroom and Photoshop are both the latest versions (11.4 and 23.4.1). I am saving working off of a Seagate 5T HDD, and working on a Macbook Pro M1.

Can you zip and upload one to something like Dropbox so we can examine one?

Hi @Ckozak, sorry to hear this. Has anything changed in your system, OS, updates etc? Are you having any other issues with other file types?

Let's make sure we're in a default state and there are no stale settings somewhere: 

Restore your preferences using this manual method:

Does it work correctly? 

If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back. 

Thank you,
