2015 release of Photoshop CC: FAQ

I’ve assembled some Q & A around updating/upgrading to the 2015 release of Photoshop CC below. If you don’t see your question answered below, let me know in the comments section and I will try and answer.

Important information, please read:

  1. Install the latest Creative Cloud desktop app. Sign out and back into the Creative Cloud desktop app to update.
  2. Install Photoshop CC (2015)
  3. Install the Bridge 6.1.1 update – this update includes security updates, bug fixes and compatibility updates for Photoshop CC (2015).
  4. Install the Camera Raw 9.1 update – this update includes bug fixes, new camera support, and new features for Creative Cloud members.
  5. Install the Lightroom CC (v2015.1)/Lightroom 6 (v6.1) update  – this update includes bug fixes, new camera support, and new features for Creative Cloud members.

Table of contents:


Not seeing the updates?

Try signing out and back into the Creative Cloud desktop app.

If you still aren’t seeing the updates, make sure you meet the minimum system requirements. We recently announced that we were dropping support for Mac OS 10.7 and Mac OS 10.8.


How do I install the Photoshop CC (2015) update?

You have the option to select [Update] to update individual applications or select [Update All] to update all your installed Creative Cloud applications.

VERY IMPORTANT – By default, when you install Photoshop CC (2015) it will uninstall prior versions of Photoshop CC you have installed.

  • Note: Creative Cloud will not uninstall Photoshop CS6 or earlier.

You may not want to uninstall the previously installed versions (CC, CC 2014) for a variety of good reasons – you are in the middle of a project, your workflow is heavily dependent on third-party plugins, you need to work with clients who are still on older versions, or you want to test the new version before committing to it for production work.

To install the latest version without uninstalling previous versions click on “Advanced Options” and uncheck “Remove old versions.”

AdvancedView

  • Note: When you uninstall prior versions, it does not uninstall 3rd party plug-ins installed for prior versions.
  • Note: Depending on what you choose you can always reinstall a prior version or uninstall prior versions at a later time if necessary.

How do I install/reinstall a prior version of Photoshop from Creative Cloud?


Do I have to reinstall my 3rd party plug-ins & extension panels after I update to Photoshop CC (2105)?

Yes. Because the Photoshop CC (version 2015.0)  is a major version update it will install completely separately from the current version of Photoshop CC (version 2014.x)  and have a separate plug-ins folder. To install your 3rd party plug-ins for Photoshop CC (2015):

DO:

    • Only use the plug-in manufacturer’s installer to install their plug-ins
    • Always check the plug-in manufacturer’s website for the latest version of your plug-in

DO NOT:

    • Do not manually drag plug-ins from a previous version of Photoshop’s plug-ins folder to a newer version of Photoshop’s ‘Plug-Ins’ folder

If you encounter unexplained problems or crashes in Photoshop, use the following documents to determine if plug-ins are the problem:

If you have extension panels installed from Adobe Add-Ons, compatible panels will automatically be installed on your system (as long as sync is enabled in the Creative Cloud desktop app).

If you have extension panels installed directly through Extensions Manager, those panels will need to be reinstalled via the original extension installer from the author.

  • Note: When you uninstall prior versions, it does not uninstall 3rd party plug-ins installed for prior versions.


Are my presets and preferences migrated automatically?

Yes. New in Photoshop CC (2015), your presets and preferences will automatically be migrated from your prior version that’s installed on your local system.

If you are installing Photoshop CC on a separate, new system, you should upload your settings from your existing system and then download them to the separate, new system. Choose Preferences>Sync Settings… to synchronize your settings.

If for some reason you run into trouble, you can also use migrate presets or manually export and import presets.


My sync settings function is disabled. How can I fix that?

In Photoshop, go to Help>Sign Out… to sign out. Choose Help>Sign In… to sign in again. Quit and relaunch Photoshop CC. Sync Settings should be enabled.


Where can I learn more about the new features?


What JDI features are in Photoshop CC (2015)?


What issues have been addressed in Photoshop CC (2015)?


What issues have been addressed in Lightroom CC (2015.1) & Lightroom 6.1 update?

    Adobe marketing banners state something like “not just new”, but “totally transformed”.

    I see plenty of bugs fixed, but that doesn’t strike me as “totally transformed”. Is there something that I am missing that better suggests “totally transformed”?

    Having issues updating Bridge.
    6.1.1 option does not appear in CC App, despite multiple SO/SI and restarts.
    Have even tried a complete uninstall/reinstall, but that reverted me back to 6.0, and when I try to update in the Bridge app, I get “Bridge is unable to check for updates: The most likely causes for this failure are an inability to connect to the internet or being logged in as a non-administrative user”. I can obviously connect to the internet, as I’m leaving this comment from the same laptop I’m trying to use Bridge on, and I’m definitely an Admin user.

    In the process of updating to CC 2015, Bridge did not make the transition to have files open in PS CC 2015. How can I have Bridge automatically open PSD files in PS CC 2015 when I double click, as I was able to do with PS CC 2014? Bridge shows that CC 2014 is the default opener but since it was automatically removed, it’s just a wasted effort. Thanks in advance for your reply.

      Try this: install Photoshop CC 2015 over the top of itself (without removing it). To do this, in the Creative Cloud desktop app, go to the Apps tab. In the lower half, labeled Find New Apps, there is a filter drop-down to the right. By default it says All Apps or Filters & Versions, click it and choose Previous Version. Find Photoshop on the list and the button will say “Install” but it will also be a drop-down menu. Choose CC 2015 (16.0). This will do a “repair” install over the top of your existing files.

        Thank you for the suggestion. It did not work so I reinstalled CC 2014. I will wait the usual 6 months that I normally wait before updating while Adobe works out the kinks.

        Just so you know, this is what I have done:
        1) reinstalled over itself as per your suggestion.
        2) updated as per the APPs suggestion.
        3) Updated Bridge as per the APPs suggestion.
        I did the above twice to no avail. Decided that it is best for me to work in CC 2014.
        Thanks again.

      Check your file associations. In Bridge, click Edit > Preferences > File Type Associations. Scroll down to “Photoshop Document (.psd, .psb…).” In the dropdown, make sure “Photoshop CC 2015 16.0” is selected. If not, browse to and the file location (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\Photoshop.exe). You may need to do the same thing with other file types you want to open with Photoshop, e.g., JPG, NEF, RAW, etc.

      Hope this helps!

    Trying to open a .NEF photo in updated Photoshop. It refuses to open with a message saying Photoshop cannot open the file and redirects me to Help + update and I see nothing there that could help me. An address at the bottom of the message redirects me to “Sorry this page is not available.” Starting to be annoying as I need to do something in a hurry! Thank you for answering. By the way, all this is happening in French.

    I updated LR to 2015 with success. But–PS CC 2015 installed fine, but as soon as I try to open an image–or just create “new,” CC2015 stops working. Thanks the lord I can still use CC 2014 on the same PC or my @$$ would be grass. Running Windows7.

    This update has been a problem for me. The Photoshop update (I have a 60 Mb/s connection) stalled at 69% and I had to cancel it. It then showed in the CC App that I could run it but that only produced an error that files were missing. Next I tried to update Lightroom but it stalled at 49% and said it was waiting, I finally canceled that too. PS CC 2015 now shows a button “Start Trial”, I have a subscription. I think the Adobe servers are overloaded.
    Hopefully I can get this sorted out, what a pain. Even your Captcha is wrong. three + 9 = 12 but it won’t accept this.

    I now have CC 2015, but cannot open anything using bridge. It tells me that Windows cannot find Photoshop 2014. I guess because it was removed. I signed in and out of the Creative Cloud App as was suggested here and still do not see a new version of Bridge. I am at a loss here. How do I get the newest version of Bridge so I can open images if I can’t see it in the Creative Cloud App? Thank you.

      Correct. Per the FAQ above – If you didn’t change your Advanced Options to not remove prior versions, Photoshop CC 2014 was uninstalled. You can find the Bridge CC update by scrolling down in the Creative Cloud desktop app and clicking on “PREVIOUS VERSIONS>” to show previous versions. Bridge CC should be on the list and have an [Update] button next to it. Note Bridge is still labeled “Bridge CC” not “Bridge CC 2015.”

            If you go to Preferences>File Type Associations in Bridge, what is listed in there? (is 2015 or 2014 listed there?) Does clicking restore correct it?

          • Carolyn Schiffhouer says:
            June 17, 2015 at 5:02 pm

            It did not work so I installed CC 2015 over itself. At least I downloaded it a second time, I assume that was doing it over itself. Still the same problem. I downloaded another bridge using the button under previous versions. I can’t seem to find Bridge that says 6.1.

            I feel like this has got to be something simple and stupid that I am doing. Also, getting frustrated enough to just cancel my subscription and go back to CS 6….at least that made sense. (But, I really don’t want to do that!)

      Do you get a specific error when you try to launch them? If you go to the applications folder and launch them from there do they work? That said, a system hang or crash requiring a computer restart usually means a low level failure such as a driver (bad video card driver, etc), failing hardware (hard disk, video card, etc.) or damaged OS installation.

    No, they don’t. How do I get them across now that it’s installed?

None of them has solved the problem so I can’t access Photoshop since some of the proposed fixes required uninstalling Adobe CC programs.

    I downloaded PS 2015 but it wouldn’t completely download. Used the Creative Cloud Cleaner after uninstalling it. Downloaded it again using a new user account with administrative privledges as told in Adobe tach article. It did download and says it is up to date BUT every time I launch I get the ‘do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer” as if it is the first time the .exe has been run.
    Also, minor but annoying, when I pin to task bar, it is a generic square, not the PS icon, though I went in and chose the PS icon. This is a mess!

    I can’t open any file except PSDs from the Windows 7 Pro “Open With” right-click menu. When I try to choose a program and go to Adobe’s program files and select the Photoshop EXE, it doesn’t show up in the menu. It basically behaves like I didn’t do anything. I’ve tried right-clicking on individual files AND changing file extension associations through the system panel and nothing works.

    This is INCREDIBLY annoying and slowing me down bigtime at work. Just christ, fix this.

    Don’t know why but since my last update to CC 2015, my PS crashes when I start it immediately. When I start PS by holding shift (to avoid loading plug-ins), it works for one time, but after closing, it crashes again. BTW: There’re no plugins in the folder “Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 / Plug-ins /”, except an empty “Generator” folder. There is no Plug-ins Folder in my “Application Support / Adobe” Folder.

    Do you’ve any solution for this problem?

        I’m using a Mac running Mavericks. I’ve been going nuts trying to make the upgrade work. Disabling Graphics Processor fixed my save problem and other function problems. But to enable the change to the preference I had to enable read-write privileges for PS preferences. Is this a Mac OS thing? I recall this happened in a previous upgrade.
        Thanks.

        Thanks Jeffrey,
        “Use Grphic Processor” is unchecked by default cause when it starts it says there is some issue with my graphic card so they automaticly disabled this feature, the problem is, even if I checked the box for “don’t display this message again” it appears at each start…
        So it looks that it tried to use the gra^phic processor at each start and stopped it after,

        Do you have more ideas about this issue?

    I got this annoying brush sensitivity bug in Photoshop CC 2015. I have heard that Wacom tablets can have that bug with Windows when using Photoshop, but it never happened to me before. Should I reinstall Photoshop again or is this bug in the program itself?

    I use Wacom Cintiq 13HD and Wacom Bamboo Pen&Touch.

    I updated both PS and LR to CC 2015, the PS update is good, but the LR update said it failed to update, but after I signed out and then back in, in CC, it did not say that anymore but I do not see any difference in LR than before, so I believe it did not do the full update,but in CC it says it is up to date. LR says it is CC 2015 but I do not have the de-haze slider or the whites and blacks options in the adjustment brush. I am using a pc. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Can’t get Photoshop CC 2015 to open at all. It hangs as soon as it gets to “starting up plugins…scripting support.” I can’t get past this point. I’ve uninstalled, cleaned my system entirely of Adobe products, reinstalled, with no luck. Now I’m stuck without Photoshop at all. Guess I should have stayed on 2014?

    I am at my wit’s end. I updated to Photoshop 2015 as soon as I saw it it was available.

    Everything had been fine but last night I tried opening a PSD and PS crashed. Now every time I open PS, whether from a PSD, by launching the program itself or from Bridge, it crashes.

    I have tried restarting my computer and uninstalling/reinstalling PS.
    I updated my computer’s graphics card.
    I checked for operating system updates (none available).
    I restarted my PC in Safe Mode.
    I have done everything applicable to me here: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html

    No matter what I do Photoshop crashes upon launch. The program is useless to me now and I am at a loss as to what to do next. Please help.

    And in lieu of fixing this problem, how do I go back to PS CC 2014. I fear I deleted that version when I installed 2015 (a mistake I will not make in the future).

    Thanks.

    It’s a bit confusing, what I’m supposed to do to recover Photoshop CC 2014 ? What about my subscription ? Do I have to stop it and get another one for Photoshop CC 2015, or will my subscription be updated if I choose Photoshop CC 2015 (I don’t want to pay both, especially because the installation of 2015 erased the last one !)

    Hi there,

    I’m trying to install Photoshopp CC 2015. I have upgraded ACC, then I confirmed the Photoshop CC (2015) update and the Bridge CC. After 1 hour I’m still here with Photoshop CC at 67%, the CPU is working (not the download) and the only thing I see in Task Manager working on CPU is Photoshop Prefs Manager (32 bit) about on 10 – 15% CPU.
    In ACC Bridge CC is “waiting” And PS CC is always at 67%..
    What I have to do? I think1 hour is enough to install Photoshop CC 2015, so something is going bad…..
    Please, any help would be apreciated.
    Thanks.

Along with the bugs I’ve encountered them totally trashed out my third party plug-ins which I find none too funny and totally unprofessional in the process up dates! At this time I would be just as happy to return to Photoshop CC 2014 and live with it. What I need now is a clear understanding of how I can properly reinstall that within my computers.

    Installed CC 2015 and it seems to be working well, except that I evidently am not able to convert my image profiles to my printer’s profile. With CC 2014 and prior versions of PS, I could visually see the color changes when converting (from sRGB) to my (Costco) printer profile, and the printed images closely matched what I saw on my screen pre-conversion. Now, however, there is no visual change on screen when I convert profiles even though the image is tagged with the Costco printer profile, and the printed images do not match what I see on my screen. Windows 7. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Hi!
    I have noticed that after updating to this new version, when I open bridge and navigate to old folders with my camera nikon d810 the settings that I have used for these files in bridge/camera raw have changed. Once I open the folder I can see the files updating to different settings, not the settings that I used originally and don’t know how I can get these settings back. Is this data saved somewhere on my computer and how do I prevent this from happening when navigating to other folders. I don’t want to lose the settings in other folders as well.

      How did you reset permissions? If you used Disk Utility to repair permissions, this only repairs OS directories and does nothing for 3rd party applications nor user folders. Try creating a new Admin user account and run Photoshop from the new user account to see if the problem goes away: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html#Permissions

          Correct. Or figure out what directory has damaged permissions. I’d start with the user Library/Application Support/Adobe and make sure your admin user has the correct permissions for this folder and all it’s contents.

            Thanks for your reply, sadly changing all profiles and making everyone Admins would not work for our environment, we don’t give everyone Admin rights to their machine. To be honest, an update to Photoshop really isn’t a good enough reason to change that.

            I will look into the permissions on folders. Also I know upgrading the operating system to 10.11.3 does fix it too.

    So I chose to uninstall everything and start fresh, which wasn’t much since it was only the 2014 version of CC Photoshop and Lightroom. Yet, when I go to install the Google Nik plugins, it is showing that 2014 is still kind of there. I then went into the “App Delete” program to see if it too would detect it, and it sure did. So, why isn’t everything from CC 2014 gone then? And is it safe to have App Delete get rid of it?

      I would suspect an old/bad video driver or an unsupported graphics card.

      First, if you’re on windows, update your video drivers. Determine what video card you have and go *directly to the manufacturers website (nVidia or ATI/AMD)* and download the latest driver.

      Just doing Windows Update won’t give you the latest and greatest drivers. You must go directly to your card manufacturers website to check for driver updates.

      If that doesn’t solve it, go to the Preferences in Lightroom and uncheck “Use Graphics Processor” under the Performance tab and restart Lightroom: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/lightroom-gpu-faq.html

    Thanks so much Adobe for screwing up my system. The more I use Adobe cloud the more I hate it.
    I came today to work on a file that I needed urgently to find out that Adobe Cloud installed a new version of Photoshop and deleted my previously working copy of PS CC as well as none of my actions were migrated, screwed up all my extension and NONE of my plugins are installed.
    How dare you do that without letting me know first so I can take precautions? Now I cannot work and lost money thanks to you, Adobe.

    I am so disappointed with Adobe. I have been using Photoshop since version 3 and progress stopped as soon as you forced us into the Adobe Cloud crap. Lightroom CC is so bad that I was forced to switch to capture one (way better so you actually did me a favor). And now you replaced PS without even asking me and ground my studio to a halt, not be able to meet my obligation because it screwed everything up. Shame on you!

    I can’t wait for the day that a company creates an alternative to Photoshop so I can finally loos the Adobe chains.

    Launch times for Lightroom CC often are in the 35+ second range.(time from splash screens to thumbnails) Much longer than my previous stand alone versions of LR. Tried signing out and back in to Creative Cloud and the Adobe suggestion of renaming the folders SLCache and SLStore. This produced dramatic improvements in in the launch time down to about only 5 seconds. However this gradually degrades over a matter of days (several launches of LR) back to the 35+ second range. Terribly frustrating.

    After the update to CC 2015, and multiple issue with my wacom, I will report, you are now required to have “use windows ink” turned on in the wacom prefs for you to have pressure sensitivity. Now I have to deal with the annoying “rings” associated with having to have “use windows ink” enabled. I’m also experiencing an annoying bug where it will act as if i’m holding shift. When i’m drawing in PS it will randomly draw a straight thick line(ignoring pressure sensitivity), it happens randomly and often. Very frustrating. I hope i’m not the only one experiencing this. And before people say to “install x-driver for wacom” I will tell you, I have done the obvious “fixes” that would be recommended. This is definitely a bug in the new update.

      Artboards are simply special layer groups under the hood. If they open a document with Artboards in it they will see an error that “unknown” data has been encountered and ask if they want to open the document and retain the layers. They will see groups instead of of Artboards and all the layers and content in the layers panel and they won’t see the matting of the artboards on the canvas.

    I use Photoshop to draw on a Microsoft Surface Pro 1.

    Photoshop CC 2015 lags when doing anything at all. It is very frustrating. The BIG problem is that there is a lag when I draw. With the lag, I can’t draw. Since that is the reason I use Photoshop and the Surface, my Surface is now basically a $1000 paperweight with an indefinitely expensive useless piece of software on it.

          …and yet it ran Photoshop CC 2014 perfectly.

          Now the same functions run so slowly that it is unusable, and your answer is “your computer isn’t strong enough for Photoshop.” Nice. I wonder what I’ve been using all this time… must’ve been a different computer.

          Thanks for letting me know there are no plans to address the issue, I guess. Since Adobe bought up all its competitors, you don’t have to care about your customers, right? Your response is a spot-on representation of your company.

    1. Will installation of PS CC delete my Photoshop Elements installation?
    2. Can i use PSE along with PS CC to edit photos?
    3. Are there regular PS CC tutorials published on the web a la photoshopelementsuser.com?
    4. If there is a site that holds PS CC tutorials, can one search by topic on it?
    5. Does Adobe have an instruction site for new users to kick use of PS CC
    6. Does a chat line exist for users to pose questions or are questions solely confined to the PS CC forum?

    My rectangular selection tool, or any squared selection including select all, Is displaying strangely ever since I upgraded to 2015. It seems to draw a series of possibly random rectangles of pixel wide lines throughout the selection. These visible rectangles change their position and distribution depending on how the image is zoomed. It does not seem to affect the intended selection (it still seems to be selecting “all” when you select all) but visually it reads as if their is some kind of crazy framing of 1 pixel wide vertical and horizontal channels. It is very distracting, and the contrast it creates can make the image hard to see. Any idea what is happening, or how I might fix it?

    Hi,
    after taking the plunge and switching off the anti virus, & firewall on my PC to try and get the 32 bit version of Photoshop cc 2015 to replace the 2014 version I still have get “access denied” – I think that having to go to this amount of effort for something you pay for is totally unacceptable and Adobe need to be taken to task over it far from a satisfactory situation.

    I am having the exact same issues as Karen. Photoshop is working fine, but every time I enter the application, it asks for permission to make changes to the computer. And the Photoshop icon on the task bar is a generic square. As suggested, I have reinstalled PS on top of the existing version and it has not fixed this issue. What could be causing this and how do I fix it?

    I’m getting an odd issue with Photoshop 2015 and Wacom Cintiq 12WX on OSX Yosemite.
    When moving photoshop over to the Wacom the artboard goes black. This happens if I drag just the working document window or the open the entire app in the Wacom screen. It’s basically unusable, anyone else had this issue and found a fix?

    Note: It doesn’t happen on other software (Sketch and Illustrator 2015) so I’m pretty sure it’s a Photoshop only issue.

        A system crash (hang or freeze requiring a computer restart) usually means a low level failure such as a driver (bad video card driver, etc), failing hardware (hard disk, video card, etc.) or damaged OS installation.

    Layer Style window is really slow to open in CC 2015, every time I double-click on “Effects” or any one of the styles. It takes about 6 seconds to display the dialog. This is a major slowdown! I open this dialog constantly, as I move from layer to layer. In CC 2014 this took about a second.

    I am not using Rulers, Extras are disabled, PSD file sizes are about 10MB.

    1–When I use curves in ACR, it uses ~10 logical processors from 16 and to 50% video card and it’s real-time, so it’s okay.
    If I modify curves in PSCC only one processor is used and 2-5% video card, it freezes and I can’t do anything else till it finishes. With some check points fixed in the image (for RGB or LAB values) it becomes worse.
    Quadro K2200 (the same behavior with or without opencl enabled/disabled)
    2–When I select only one channel, I can see how the image is filled over the checkered pattern.

    I wonder if this should happen with 16 logical processors (2x Xeon quad-core) and Quadro K2200 with so many cores and 4GB video RAM.

    I would be extremely grateful for some acknowledgment regarding the shoe-lace bug issue in all versions of Photoshop CC. (With Yosemite/Wacom Cintiq (any driver)

    There is simply no way to paint a line that has a consistent smooth tapered pressure sensitive ending— unless you turn the “smoothing” off which results in jagged curves!

    How could the fact that Photoshop is incapable of painting a simple smooth ending line not be a major issue?

      A second thought could be to reset the preferences and see if that’s related at all: blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html#Preferences

    After upgrading Pshop CC, my Topaz filters do not work. My Nik and OnOne Filters worked just fine. Topaz claims this is an Adobe problem and that the company is aware of the problem. Topaz reports : “there is a bug in CC 2015 where ANY plugin listed at the 6th position in the filter list will not work, regardless what kind of plugins. For example, here is a hypothetical list of plugins:
    Akvis
    Alien Skin
    Athentech Imaging
    DxO Labs
    Film Emulation
    Nik Collection
    Topaz Labs

    In the above example, all plugins except Nik’s plugins will work, because Nik Collection is the 6th in the list.” What is Adobe doing about this?

    Yesterday I installed the update for Photoshop CC 2015 and it resulted in an increase in the type size in the Photoshop window. I am running this on a 13″ laptop so I can work away from the studio and the increase really limits the available real estate for editing images. All the tabs have increased proportionally taking up even more of the image editing space and requiring me to waste time scrolling down tabs to see what I used to be able to at a glance.
    How do I get the type size back to the original size please?

    A couple of days ago, in searching out info on Bridge crashes, I was connected to a forum here on Bridge, which now I cannot find, so I am posting here.

    I did what you suggested, roll back the ATi driver to 14.4, but it stll crashes, albeit not so frequently, and the crash data is much smaller than earlier and in a different location. I can send it if you want to see it (24K file size).

    It simply suddenly dies. I have PS open and minimized as I do DxO Sometimes, DxO and PS don’t play well with each other but until now, Bridge was immune.

    When I open a Nikon NEF file in Photoshop, Camera Raw pops up. It states that due to a graphics processor error, the processor has been disabled. If I check use graphics processor, it recognizes it. However any selection that I make (cancel, load, etc) causes Photoshop to hang and requires me to kill the process. (Running Win 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1.) If I do not activate the graphics processor it seems to work. The graphics processor is recognized by Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC (both 2015).

    Hello. I have just upgraded from Windows 7 SP1 to Windows 10. Since the upgrade, my Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 (up to date) will not work. Bridge does. I can open a raw file from Bridge into Adobe Camera Raw, work on it, but when I try to open it in Photoshop CC 2015 from the ACR dialog, the Photoshop screen opens but immediately I get the message that “Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.” Of course it doesn’t. I have to close this message dialog and Photoshop screen immediately closes. I have spent hours online trying to find a fix – without success.
    The Adobe Creative Cloud utility tells me that my Bridge and Photoshop are both up to date.

        I have checked several times in trhe last few days (and again just now) directly with nvidea. and according to nvidea I have the current driver installed on my machine. What I don’t understand is that Photoshop CC 2015 (which was up to date before changing from Windows 7 to 10) was working perfectly, including several plug-ins, on Windows 7. However, as mentioned in my post above, the trouble started immediately after going from Windows 7 to 10. After reading your reply (above) a few minutes ago, I checked the nvidea site and it told me that I have the current driver.
        I also checked the link you proviced re basic trouble-shooting steps, particularly in reference to plug-ins. It mentions there about possible troubles in going to later versions of Photoshop. In my case, I was not going to a later version of Photoshop – I wasgoing to a later version of Windows! As I’ve said previously, that’s when the trouble started.
        Also, Adobe Creative Cloud says my Photoshop and Bridge are up to date.
        I am now thinking of wiping my C-drive and starting all over again, installing a new unused version of Windows 7. I may, however, try reverting to Windows 7 before doing that, but I have heard that so many people have had more troubles after reverting to 7.

    Hello,
    I just got the latest photoshop cc (w/ bridge). I like to use bridge, but the new version has a white menu bar across the top. It is very annoying, how do I change the color?

    I just updated my CC and my Portraiture plug-in is not working.
    I’ve looked on numerous sites to see if I could find a solution and nothing is working.
    Please advise what to do with a 3rd party plug-in as this is important to my workflow.

    Hi,
    I have successfully installed both Photoshop CC and Lightroom onto my PC and Lightroom onto my laptop, but Photoshop to my laptop is proving a challenge. Each time I try I get this message
    C:\windows\system32\api-ms-win-ct-utility-l1-1-0.dll
    I have deactivated the 2nd licence each time and I am using windows 7.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    I just formatted my computer. I’m using an extension from a 3rd party app and it wont work on Photoshop cc 2017. How can I get Photoshop cc 2015?
