Photoshop CC 19.1: PNG Images Opens with Distortion

Yes, I am on deadline as well, and PS CC 19 just decided to corrupt my PNG files. I am livid.

Hi Amy,

I'm sorry for the frustration over your pngs not displaying correctly, but from all the examples I've seen the files themselves shouldn't be corrupt, simply distorted. Are you able to work with extensions disabled? In all the examples I've seen that makes the distortion resolve.

Regards,
Hannah 

Hi Hannah. It’s true the files are not originally corrupt, but when opening the file (transferring it to memory), the app clearly corrupts or mis-decodes the file. Previous versions of Photoshop never exhibited this issue, so workarounds are clearly not a long term solution. Hopefully this has been escalated up to engineering to resolve ASAP. This issue could be due to a memory bug with PSD, a png library issue or something else entirely. In my 15 years of using this app, it’s the most disruptive issue I’ve encountered. Opening PNG files are imperative to many users daily routine.

I have not tried to see if saving a jumbled PNG file after opening it up then bakes in the corruption, but it would not surprise me if that was the case.

Hey everyone, I am just wondering if this issue has been resolved yet as I am having the same issue. I have a school assignment due next week so a reply would be appreciated. 

It hasn't been fixed yet :) try to restart photoshop - it helps for a while. Also, avoid PNG files if you can. good luck

Ok thanks, that's exactly what I've done. I changed the png file to another one and it works fine now :)

Hi,

I am having the same problems.  Un-ticking those two boxes did not make any difference.

I am having to open the .pngs in Ai, save as .jpg, re-open in PS and then remove the white spaces.

Seeing as we are largely people using this software professionally, we're not making printable cards in Publisher to save money here, perhaps we should invoice Adobe for the extra time it is taking us to complete things ;-)

Patrick did anyone ever get this resolved? I'm having the same issue. Will not accept png/screenshots. I was able to import screenshot into AI and export as a psd, then import into photoshop as a psd. What a headache this is.

Hi Carol,

Perhaps you've seen that this is the official response by now, but the png issue will be resolved in the next update of Photoshop.

Thanks,
Hannah

Hi Hannah,

It was a hair-pulling day over this photoshop glitch. Glad to hear it will be fixed.

For now, the only work around I found is: I have to import everything into adobe illustrator then export the image as a psd to the desktop then embed place it into photoshop document and edit it as a smart object.

It's really adding extra time onto my schedule so I will be very happy when this issue is repaired.

Thanks for getting back to me. Appreciate your quick response. 
Carol

Sorry for the frustration, Carol. As it's impacting your work on a daily basis, you might want to consider rolling back to a different version until the update comes out. That work around sounds kind of tedious.

If it helps, here's a quick guide for installing previous versions: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html

How about Adobe get off their ____ and put out a patch for a show-stopping problem like this?  Adobe should not be making its customers wait until a full release to fix a problem that has absolutely no workaround. 
AND ROLLING BACK TO A PRIOR RELEASE?? ARE YOU KIDDING?What am I supposed to do, roll back to the release to open my file. Then upgrade to use the features I need. Then roll back again to open another file, then update again to edit that?
Do you actually understand what you are requesting your customers to do?
This is stupid!  
It is absolutely unforgivable, the way Adobe is treating its customers on matters such as these.

You know AMPhoto I was worried about this same issue when it comes to rolling back to a prior release. I think I'm going to stay in the present and use this crazy method to work around it with illustrator. This just takes extra time. I don't have a problem importing/embedding psd files so as long as I turn all of my images into psd I can import them. 

Lets hope they are quick on the repair! 

Hi, I have ended up reading through this thread after having the same problem with png files on my new MacBook running Ps 19.1.1 but have resolved it by unchecking the 2 extensions boxes in the plugins preferences as advised. (bizarrely they are both checked but working fine on my iMac also running Ps 19.1.1) 

I just thought I'd jump in to confirm that worked for me so hopefully that will work as a temporary fix until the next update.

Thanks for pointing that out Bekki!! Don't know how I missed that before. Maybe something to do with merged comments? (I thought I read all of the comments last week, but do not remember seeing that one for turning off the extensions options.)
Anyway, that fixes my problem as well.  

ow about a "Pause Subscription Payment until Adobe Fix Serious BUG" in the Creative Cloud Application ?

Adobe, you cannot keep taking people's money for incomplete and workflow-stopping software. One thing is to have major bugs in your software which are obviously incapable of fixing, that could/can be understood but when such is the case you should have the decency and professionalism to also compensate people for that in that you charge them 50% less on their subscription until you fix a show-stopping and proved bug.

I wonder why we all keep taking this subscription up the rear and monthly pay a super-premium only to be beta testers. How many of us go to BestBUY and haul a TiVo for $1k home, have it not work and go - "Oh Well, hopefully they'll fix it in a month or two"..,.. No way, anyone experiencing such would immediately return the device, get another or their money back...

If Creative Cloud Subscribers don't pay - Adobe kills the license immediately and does not wait 6 months.

But we can't do that with Subscription-based software. Which is why Subscription-Based software is as bad as Piracy, at least in the case of Adobe. Speedgrade for instance suffers from bugs dated back to 2014. In 2018 Adobe just kills the software and all the folks who subscribed to SG in all those years are left with a software that has NOT gotten any of the serious bugs fixes and is now dead...

If the bible is true then such behaviour is not what is getting you a ticket to heaven !

Bekki-your comment helped me.

This fixed my problem too: go to photoshop preferences -> plugins -> uncheck 2 extensions at bottom of window.

Thank you!

Hi Carol - do you mean the boxes that say "Allow Extensions to Connect to the Internet" and  "Load Extension Panels" ?

Hi Liza,

Please reference my reply above - would love to hear the results of your test.

Thank you,
Hannah

I am having the same issue and I unchecked the box you requested. Still happening. 

Any news? I'm sitting here at a standstill with my work because of this. 

I'm sorry Michelle. So far no one in house is seeing this and we tried the one sample png that a user sent us who said he was seeing this and it looked fine on our machines.

Can you please go to Help > System Info and then copy and paste the contents of that window here? Also would you mind emailing me a png that won't open properly for you along with a screenshot of how it appears on your machine? I'm creating the case for this but it's easier when we are actually seeing it. 

Thanks,
Hannah

FYI one user said that dragging and dropping the png made the png render correctly.

Yes, emailing now. 

I am having the same issue, so frustrating. Running a clean install on a brand new mac. Really don't know what to do. Are there alternate graphics solutions anyone can suggest? 

Same for me. It started happening last week or so. double-click, drag and rop, or file>open. all png images open distorted. I am on a late 2017 MBP 2.9 ghz, Radeon Pro 560, Photoshop 19.1.0. System info: Adobe Photoshop Version: 19.1.0 20180116.r.238 2018/01/16: 1153018  x64Number of Launches: 5

...although my storm has passed and PNGs are working ok right now!

(wow! Sorry, I didn't realise how much stuff was pasted there!)

Please don't apologize!!! It's honestly very helpful to have that information with this thread. Thanks! :D 

No not 100% of the time. Yesterday all png files opened up looking corrupted. Today the same files open fine.

100% of the time I open a .png from file > open, when I drag a .png into an artboard, and when I drag the file to the photoshop app

If a png is the first file type I open after starting Photoshop, they work.  once I have been using PS for a while, opening other file types etc. then the same file (and all png files in general) will show up as a corrupted image, similar to the other images in this thread.  Haven't identified the exact instance where they go from working to not working.

Also, this is definitely just from the latest update 

I've been having this issue for about 2 weeks now on 19.1. Mostly, whenever I do a screenshot of anything, it saves as a PNG on my desktop. When I drag-and-drop it into Photoshop, the image almost looks like modern art (which some might appreciate), but I'd prefer to make money and continue with work. I have tried switching off the performance UGP - did nothing unfortunately. Adobe really needs to do an urgent update on this one. Below is a screenshot of what it looks like when I open the file....

Pretty yet so frustrating!

This worked for opening the .pngs but now I am getting too many errors when creating new documents. Will revert to 2017 in the meantime!

Okay thanks for running the test Caitlyn. That's helpful to know!

Hannah

Hannah, I don't know if this helps as I haven't actually done the above test, BUT-- I run PS with no extensions and am having the same issue. 

Thanks Julianna. You're right - there is no reliable workaround on this issue. Some users stop seeing it for a little while on a restart, but it eventually resurfaces. The resolution will come with the next update.

Thank you for the info-- I was still trying to sort through the thread to find a solution. So, revert to 2017 for now? I've been taking screen shots, because frankly, what I've been getting is beautiful.... Annoying and work stopping... but absolutely beautiful. :D 

Silver linings! It reminds me of Andy Warhol :) 

But yes you've probably noticed that it happens with pngs only, so besides a restart (which only holds the distortion off for a little while) there is no workaround. In short, yes, you might want to use CC 2017 until the next update.

If you would like to work with the build for awhile that contains the fix and let us know how it goes for you feel free to email me and I could get you set up to do that. I'll put my email below.

Thanks,
Hannah

Thanks Cristen. So you also saw it on 19.1?

I'm not getting notifications, so I'm sorry, I missed this even though I've been in the thread. Yes, I've seen it. I'm still seeing it. So that makes twice, or maybe 3 times. Despite always using PNGs, it really is so seldom here running El Cap that I barely feel any pain. Just the nuisance saving, quitting, and relaunching.  '-}
