I can't get any work done, photoshop locks up within 10 minutes of opening. I have lost hours of work already!

Hi there,
Sorry to hear about Photoshop crashing, could you please let us know what operating system version you're working on?
Could you please try deselecting "Use Graphics Processor" located in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance, then relaunch Photoshop and let us know if it helps?
Regards,
Sahil

Hi!
I am on macOS 10.14 Mojave.
Just now PS crashed several times on trying to fill the background with a color from the color picker.
I will try the "Use Graphics Processor" button and get back to you.
Thanks for the reply.

Any clues in the Catalina crash logs?

Having the same issue! Upgraded about 3 weeks ago and PS keeps crashing. It seems totally random. Sometimes I can work (digitally painting) for an hour or so and then, bam! crash. Them sometimes it's 20-30 minutes.... crash. This is crazy. My money doesn't crash........

Yep this is happening for me as well. I am on Catalina 10.15.4 and PS is fully updated. I am using the clone stamp and after 15 minutes my entire mac is freezing then crashes. Totally sucks!

Am not sure why my own reply is shown elsewhere, but I am new and probably did something wrong.
Anyway, I am not sure it applies to all of you, but in my crash report I read something about 'database' and I turned off my VPN connection when working with Photoshop. I am using Tunnelblick. Since I turned it off, I have not experienced these monster crashes. So it seems to me that Photoshop tries saving in a location that it cannot reach all the time. Maybe it helps some of you

Having the same issue. Am working on Catalina 10.15.3 and recently updated to Photoshop 2020. I can edit one or two pictures, then the whole computer crashes. It's a real pain in the ... and certainly not good for the computer.
Crash reports say this:

Does this clarify something where I can do something?
Best

Same issue here, I have lost entire days of work and no one is going to pay them back for me. This is supposed to be a tool for professionals, there is schedules to be met. I hope Adobe rises to the challenge.
Running adobe on Catalina 10.15.5
Storage 190 GB + Free.
16 GB RAM
Graphics: Radeon pro 560 4 GB

Someone indicated to me that I should use the activity monitor to check how much RAM is used. This helped a lot. It turned out that the amount of memory used increased continously until the computer froze. I installed 16 more GB and since then it didn't crash. That was 6 weeks ago and I am using Photoshop every day. Maybe this will help you as well...
