Photoshop 2018 full of bugs...

Question

Downloaded PS 2018 and was instantly struck with bugs. Shortcut keys only seem to work about a third of the time. This affects everything across the board including zooming, saving, undoing, etc. The shortcut key for 'fill foreground' requires users to double tap the delete key in order for it to work.

Things have slowed down as well. The healing brush performs at about half the speed of PS 2017.

Adobe should be offering a way for users to downgrade back to 2017 based on everything I've experienced so far. Note that I work professionally with PS, often spending 8hrs or more a day retouching and compositing. These glitches and slow-downs add up to significant amounts of time and annoyances. I'm curious to know how these bugs made it through Adobe's beta program.

Until these glitches / bugs are resolved I strongly recommend holding off on updating to Photoshop 2018.

Re: Downgrading - Look up the section 'Install previous versions of apps' in here:https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/download-install-app.html

ugh.  I don't know how to do anything here.  I can't even get to my cs6 anymore.  Working on macOSSierra vers.10.12.6. IMAC late, 2015, processor 4ghz, intel corei7,40GB1867 MHZDDR3. AMD RadeonR9m395C4096mb. And this in PScs6Thanks Adobe. I downloaded CC less than a month ago.  Already very unproductive!

Carson, are you on windows? The shortcut issue with the alt key is being worked on https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/alt-backspace-taking-two-hits-to-work-cc-2018-5jqmxuye2a4r5 as is the issue with https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/healing-and-spot-healing-brush-lag

I'm running Windows 8.1.  Hopefully Adobe sorts out these issues soon.  I can't believe the RC made it through the beta without many of these issues coming to light.  Disappointing but hopefully resolved quickly.

Carson Jones · Answer

I've moved back to the 2017 version.  In my opinion PS 2018 can't be used at a professional level until Adobe has sorted out all of these bugs.  Frankly, I can't believe this version made it past the beta trials.

I've had a script running in CC 2017 mac that would save down png's I knew in cc 2017 there was the option to save PNG compressed so I have been using the script with no issue.

set myLocalPNGOptions to {class:PNG save options, compression:5, interlaced:false}

When this has been running in 2018 my script times out suggesting saves are timing out meaning longer than 120 seconds to save.

109.8mb PSD is flattened (less a background) then saved as png. under these conditions. The time it takes to save is 123sec and compresses it to 13.7mb

If I change the setting to its default 0.

Its take 109 seconds to compress to 16.3mb this is is still much longer than it ever was on CC2017.

Testing it as normal no applescript and it reveals the problem is still there.

Medium file size setting take 107sec to a lightning drive in APFS and 150 seconds to a firewire drive in mac journaled format.

It's totally unusable with the amount of bugs I've encountered. Considering the price we all pay, this is unacceptable.

Is anyone experiencing this issue?

when I import an image to a document, this happens every. single.time. I can't use the 2018 version of the program at all. The glitches are enormous. How the he** did this make it through beta testing? I want my money back.

John Maguire · Answer

Did you get the latest fixes in 19.0.1. Under help it shows as 19.0

Daniel · Answer

On 19.1 - still full of bugs. It's extremely hard to focus on my work while fighting all these annoyances.

Plus, it's really slow on my Surface Studio. I experience lag with the move tool, select tool (mostly selections which I want to snap to grids). The move tool (for example) takes a long time to move/select the right elements I want to move, so until the pink distance/alignment indicators disappear, I have to wait before I can do something.

I was required to update to 18 through my CC subscription today and I've noticed SO many things that are project-breaking--if I try to change the canvas size (need to change the total image size from 72"x30" to 72"x32", not too hard, right?) it shrinks the image to about 20% and fills in the rest of the canvas with black. If I try to change the image size to fit the canvas (using the 72"x32" canvas size) the image size shows up as doubled--144"x64", even though on the screen it's occupying 20% of the canvas size.

I saved this same file as a .png to try getting around this issue by sizing it onto an entirely new canvas, and while the thumbnail looks correct, every time I open it it's . . . well, this (the first image is what it's supposed to be, the rest are consecutive attempts to open the .png file):

IT'S AWFUL!! How you have the audacity to release this version beggars belief frankly. When opening multiple images in tabbed windows they all appear the same, the only way to get the correct image to refresh is to drag the windows from the tabs. Frequently I get a blank, grey screen when working, which results in lost hours of work. Fix it or rollback as this version is not fit for purpose.

Forrest Stephan · Answer

Yeah. This is the buggiest release of photoshop I've seen in the last 10 years. Bad lag.  Selections working in conjuction with fills, brushes are behaving randomly. Like it's straight busted. :/
