I am about at my LIMIT with Adobe. I used photoshop 2 days ago and today, I sat down to edit a photo, and all my menus and toolbars are missing for [removed by moderator] even knows why. I'm sure a deepr search will yeild a result, but at this point, I am so frustrated with how buggy the programs are, I need to post just for catharsis.

 

I get so sick of all these little inconeniences. I just want to sit down and USE the software I pay for without being bombarded with bugs and new UI/UX. It's an ongoing problem.

 

Your programs are not worth $50/mo or even the reduced price that you are offered when you go to cancel. If there was ANYTHING comperable, I would switch immediately.

    I can think of a couple of reasons with their solutions:

    • You pressed Tab, which hides the panels. Tab will bring them back.
    • You press F for full screen mode. Press F again or press Escape.
    • You are looking at Photoshop, but have another application active. One of the features in macOS is a shared menu bar. Click anywhere within the Photoshop app to activate it.
    • You have a floating window and it's sitting on top top of the panels. Go to Window menu > Arrange > Consolidate.
    • Try quitting Photoshop and relaunching. Or rebooting.
    • If nothing else works, Go to Photoshop menu > Preferences > Delete Preferences on Quit (after backing up customization.)

     

    It could be any of these or something else. Give us the screenshot Abambo asked for. You can use the Screenshot app that comes with macOS.

      Hi Paul,

      You should give the people a chance to see what happens on your screen. So, when complaining about “bugs”, please tell us your OS and version, your Photoshop version and share a screenshot with us. That would enable us, to help you the fastest possible way.
