Hi! It sounds like you want to create a texture, but you also already have a texture that you've applied and it's not right--is that correct? Yes, you can bring your texture into Photoshop and lighten it up, and yes, you probably will need to make adjustments in 3d Max. I would start with Photoshop and get the value of your midtowns in the texture to what you like and then let 3d max apply the lights and darks to create the modeling. And second, do you still want to create a texture? Is there an image that you can upload so we can be of more help? Michelle ... View more

Hi! I am a little confused. I looked under the updates that I have for PS and there is no 20.0.1 -- the latest version is 19.1.7. Did you update a different app at the same time as Photoshop? ... View more

If you do decide to update to 2019, I would recommend that when the installer comes up, to install a new version of PS and not replace what you have. That way if it does not fix the problem, and you need to go back to the old version, you still have it intact. Also, did you save it as a .psd or another file format? ... View more

It would seem to me (as simple as this sounds) that because the document is in RGB and the swatch is noted in CMYK that it would make a difference on how the color was displayed? ... View more

Sorry about the confusion--I was thinking of two things -- your scratch disk space and your Ram. Try taking your ram allocation dow to 50% instead of 70? And I believe you have already added more scratch disk space from an external hard drive, correct? One other option to try is to see if turning of the Graphics Processor and then restarting PS corrects the issue. If it does then the Graphics processor might be the culprit. Let me know if either one of those works. Michelle ... View more

I realize that was an old answer. I thought it might provide a work around until the right answer is posted. One last question--are you trying to export from Camera Raw, or Photoshop? ... View more

That's good news in one sense! Does the file open and the page is bland? Do the layers show anything when you open the file? Are you on a mac or pc? On a mac, you can click on the extension in the folder and change it outside of Photoshop--have you tried that? I searched on "Apps to open photoshop files and found this: The 7 Best Ways to Open a PSD File Without Photoshop - MakeUseOf https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/the-best-ways-to-open-a-psd-file-without-photoshop/ I don't know if this is your answer, but it does provide some options.

If you are having the same problem with PS 2018, then the problem sounds like something other than Photoshop. Do you have an older version of PS on your computer that you can test (other than 2018)? Did you run 2018 before you upgraded to 2019? What are you doing shortly after it launches? Is it the same thing every time? Has it always been this way after installing 2019? If not, is there something other than the Windows update that you noted above that you also installed? We what to help! Let us know, Michelle ... View more

Did you close the file? If not, can you go backwards in the history panel? Does your empty file have layers? When you look at the file listing on your computer--how big is it? Could you have saved it somewhere else on your hard drive? If you have "the" file open and it is a blank page--there is nothing to copy and paste into another document to try and resurrect it. I know you probably don't want to hear this (none of us do) but you will probably have to rebuild it. Believe me, we have all done this--and it is no fun. I lost a file that I had been working on for two hours--but it only took me 40 minutes to rebuild because I knew what I wanted the second time around. You've heard it before--Save Often!
