Photoshop pop-ups

I received two pop-up messages yesterday, apparently from Adobe. The first said that Adobe wishes to access my Pictures, which I did not allow. The second said that Adobe wants to control my computer, which I did not allow! Has anybody else had these messages?

    Yes it's normal in macOS Mojave and you should Allow that, since photoshop won't work right if you don't.

    I don't suppose you thought to grab a screen shot?  

    Where were the pictures in question located?

    Had anything happened that might have caused Adobe (if that's who it was) to think you needed help?

    It sounds phishy to me.  What operating system are you using?  How careful are you with emails?  Do you plug other people's data-drives into your system?
