![]() This serves as a good reminder that performance improvements will always come in incremental steps we may take for granted along the way. This should be great for anyone working with multiple systems, but it also naturally helps facilitate cloud syncing with Adobe's other big product announcement today: Photoshop on iPad. In another nice turn, PSDs are now supported and synced in Creative Cloud. While this Adobe Sensei-powered feature provides decent results in many circumstances and near-perfect results in ideal conditions with clearly separated subjects, it still won’t become a replacement for the Pen tool for more advanced selections. Finally, some new features, such as Object Selection Tool, provide additional speed for tasks in certain situations. Some tasks are as much as four times faster. Various panels and menu items have been adjusted, enhanced, or improved with additional Quick Actions to allow for an average of double the overall efficiency for common tasks when compared to Photoshop 2019. But if you take the time to learn the changes, you may discover new one-click shortcuts for common tasks such as removing backgrounds, showing and hiding user guides, managing and creating new presets for gradients and more, and changing between color spaces or bit depths. In fact, it’s possible to not even notice any differences on a day-to-day level. Don’t worry, nothing too drastic has happened to the GUI you’re familiar with. Adobe worked on the multiple areas of the user interface to improve usability and efficiency. Other updates, however, may not be exactly what you had in mind. It’s easy to see how reducing load times for intensive tasks saves time, but adding performance improvements that create as many near real-time experiences as possible also helps create a workflow that feels ready at all times and is less prone to causing fatigue through monotonous several-second waiting games. Damned annoying.The new Object Selection tool is pretty sweet, especially in optimal conditions. And Adobe throws away my settings also (on all my machines), which I’ve reported. Truly a sad state of software development all around… I recommend to make a copy of the PS application folder AND of ALL preferences before any upgrade so you can copy them back and get up-and-running immediately with the older version again if things go the way most Apple updates go – which is to say CRAPPING OUT. ![]() A damn waste of 1.5 hours of my valuable time. ![]() But because Adobe will delete the previous version and its preferences by default when upgrading to a new version, I had to set up PS all over again. I re-installed the previous version (22.0.1) and things are OK again. Freezes, screen re-draw issues, Artifacts and crashes happened non-stop. Garbled Adobe Camera Raw dialog that also renders entire machine unusable mac OS Crapalina + Adobe Photoshop CC 2021 Erik P writes:Īfter installing Photoshop CC 22.1 on my 2019 iMac running Mojave, Photoshop became immediately unusable. I will see when I try to get work done tomorrow if I just had a bit of luck, or this is a real workaround that I can rely on. UPDATE: a quick test suggests that reverting to Adobe Photoshop CC 2020 solves the problem. The only thing I can think of is to try reverting to Adobe Photoshop CC 2020. But it’s not just me one of my consulting clients has lost jobs for ten days now because Apple hosed his Mac Pro with the software update. I am disgusted and outraged at the sloppy engineering involved. With this major f*ckup by one or both of these companies, I am unable to function as a photographer! Adobe has hinted to me that Apple is aware of the issue (no more information than that), but if that is true, how does it explain a MacBook Pro running macOS Mojave without the latest security update? I am not sure who is at fault: Adobe or Apple or both. The GPU is not involved at least on the MacBook Pro, which crashes with or without GPU enabled. On my 2019 Mac Pro running macOS Crapalina, the machine goes totally unresponsive for a minute or two it is unusable for any app.Other times, I can get 2 or 3 done before a system freeze. Due to crash after crash, it took me an hour to get this single image done it should have been a 5-minute job. ![]() In this way I can can get an image or two done in 30 minutes. The only solution is to do a hard power off.
