Photoshop CS6 not opening

I recenlty got a new computer and loaded my adobe cloud onto it.  The first few times it worked fine but today it only minimizes into the lower tool bar and never opens.  It won't even let me max it it's just the main splash screen minimized.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it's not working.  Please help if you can...thanks

1.  The splash screen shows some status info as it's opening.  Where does it stop?
2.  Have you added any plug-ins or made any system changes since it worked?
3.  Expanding on Manish's question, you can press and hold Control - Shift - Alt (Command - Option - Alt on a Mac) immediately after cold-starting Photoshop and if you're quick enough to get the keys down it will prompt you to confirm deletion of the current preferences, which will cause a fresh set of defaults to be generated.  This solves many Photoshop problems.
Good luck.

  • Photoshop CS6 not opening files from Lightroom 5.6

    On my mac I updated to Lightroom 5.6. Now it will not open the file in Photoshop CS6 using the "Edit it Photoshop" option. Anyone know how to work around this? I do not want to "render in lightroom" each time. Thanks!

    There used to be a weird bug where this didn't work when there was an accented character (like ø, ä, etc.) somewhere in the path to the file, in the filename itself or in the metadata, the file simply wouldn't open in CS3. Don't know if that ever was fixed, but might be something to check.

  • Photoshop CS6 not opening for a few individual users.

    Hi.
    We're a college and we're having trouble with Photoshop CS6 opening for 4 [at the moment] individual users. The error follows them from mac to mac, but another ue can log on after them and everything works fine, so it must somehow be linked to their profiles, but we've reset/deleted these and it's made no difference. I've attached screenshots of the 4 error messages they get. Could someone point us in the right direction as to what we need to do, because at the moment these students cannot do their work properly?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Photoshop CS6 not opening properly since recent windows update

    I had several applications open Including Photoshop CS6, when windows 8 did an auto update and restart during the night. I just tried to open photoshop for the first time since the update and it didn't open properly or load actions. I have restarted the computer several times., I have also updated the adobe software and restarted, but nothing is fixing the problem.

    Wanting to use Photoshop CS6 to open images directly from iPhoto 11.
    Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11.  Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open
    images directly from iPhoto.    Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos
    in iPhoto 11.  Nothing happens when I click on ‘edit‘ it is blank. 
    And now it will not work using Photoshop CS6 either.
    From Help Center I have gone to iPhoto/Preferences/ Advanced and chosen Photoshop CS6  to Edit Photos but then cannot find an 'Open' to click? Perhaps this is the problem?
    When I select a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button - nothing happens.
    Please advise. Glenys

    This may be of help to you:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

    I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and did a migration of the content of the old laptop (also a Mac Book Pro) to the new one. Now I cannot start Photoshop CS6. When I am starting it I have a window "Adobe photoshop CS6 extended" opening requesting a connexion. When I am entering my password for the connexion the software crashes. How can I fix the problem?

    Migrating, transferring or copying is DEMANDING trouble, not just asking for it.
    Always install from scratch, from the original media,

  • I have cs5 and bought new camera olympus e-m1 photoshop does not open raw files is there a patch for it?

    I have cs5 and bought new camera olympus e-m1 photoshop does not open raw files is there a patch for it?

    Familiarize yourself with these tables

    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    The E-M1 was first supported by Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC. It is not compatible with CS5 or lower and never will be.
    Some options:
    Upgrade to CS6
    Join the Cloud
    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all the Raw E-M1 files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5

  • Photoshop CS4 not opening & Wacom Cintiq 20WSX driver problem

    Hello,
    I have been using Photoshop CS4 for quite sometime now with no issues. I have just started using a Wacom Cintiq 20WSX and installed all the necessary drivers and now Photoshop will not open (I have seen other threads relating to Intuos tablets but not the Cintiq 20WSX).
    I have unistalled the Wacom drivers and Photoshop will open, on reinstalling the Wacom drivers the problem starts again "Photoshop cs4 has stopped working".
    I am running Windows 7 Home Prem 64bit. Photoshop CS4 has all current updates and I am using the most recent driver for the 20WSX from Wacoms site.
    Any suggestions as this is really really frustrating. (I have not yet attempted to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall it)
    (Incidently I am using the Production Premium CS4 Suite and everyhting else appears to be unaffected -AE, AI are opening with no issues)
    Thanks!

    Hi. I had the same problems with my Intous4 as well, and since both cintiq and Intuos use the same driver it probably is the same.
    Try this. Uninstall the wacom, unplug it, restart the pc. Then download the latest driver from the wacom site (if you didn't already), and install that latest driver alone, without installing the one that came with the cintiq. This is how I solved my problem, it wouldn't open PSCS4 64bit and AE

  • Photoshop will not open some of my files

    I recently had a hard drive crash. I sent it to a recovery company and they returned my files on a new hard drive. Many of the images were recovered but some show up as CR2 files or psd files that photoshop will not open. The message says that this is a file format that PS does not recognize. These files seem to be no different from my other CR2 files and psd. files but the thumbnails don't show up in Bridge and PS will not open them. Can anyone tell me how to get these files to open?

    I thought this following suggestion to use GIMP to open stubborn PSD files was brilliant:

    you may also want to try using the DNG converter with your CR2 files:

  • HT2476 cannot find java runtime and photoshop will not open

    running OSX Lion on iMac Photoshop will not open. It says I need to update Java Runtime, but I do not have any updates. It says I am not connected to the internet and I am obviously since I am here. Help!!!!

    Also, I just downloaded an upgrade to Topaz and it says cannot install on this computer...it is my main plugin for PS
    If you have gone to the Topaz developer's site and see no update for Photoshop in Lion, then all you can really do is contact them to see if they ever intend to update it.  What verion of Photoshop are you using by the way?

  • Photoshop will not open unless as Admin but that causes other problems

    Hi all,
    There are two problems:
    1.  If I don't run photoshop as an administrator
    2.  If I run photoshop as an administrator.
    1.  If I don't run as administrator, Photoshop will NOT open.  I can't even open .psd by double clicking them.  Can't open from the installed directory, can't open from shortcuts.  It only works if I right click run as admin or set properties to run as admin. 
    I am the only user for the system, and I have even taken ownership of all files.  Yet, it still requires me to run as admin.  I am running CS5 with windows 7 64bit.
    2.  If I run as admin I cannot drag or drop files into PS.  As detailed in here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/3640635.  I can open files manually through file menu, but dragging and dropping is disabled (shows a circle with a slash when i drag into PS). Their solution in the forum was to remove running as admin.  But if I do that, I get problem 1.
    Any ideas?
    Jason

    Option 1:  Clearly something went wrong when installing Photoshop, or you have changed permissions on your system for some part(s) Photoshop needs to access.  Verify, for example, that you have Full Control access to the root of the hard drive you have identified as scratch.  A reinstall of Photoshop might correct this.
    Option 2:  Windows UAC is likely the culprit here.  Some folks choose to turn off UAC completely, which means you'll be running everything as Administrator all the time, but that should not be done without FULLY understanding what UAC does for you and what additional measures you'll take to ensure your system doesn't get infected with malware.

  • Photoshop CS6 is opening as trial version of CS6 extended

    Suddenly my Photoshop CS6 is opening as a trial version of CS6 extended. Why? How do I make it stop, and open as it should?

    I'm in the same boat, and now it's ended and I can't open CS6 at all. Plus I'm getting no support from Adobe on this over the weekend.
    I tried re-installing on top of it, but that didn't help. I would completely un-install and try re-installing again, but think they'll leave something still stopping CS6 from opening.
    Why they forced this on us, I don't know.
