Photoshop CS4 and Grab crashing saving images

I did an upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6 and I am having issues with what seems to be image files. When I save a screenshot from Grab to a .tiff it crashes 90% of the time. Saving in Photshop a JPEG also crashes photoshop cs4. Anyone have any ideas? Ive included some logs below..

I too was having the same problem with Web Premium CS3. Working with my previously created animated GIF files, or certain JPGs were causing either Ps to crash or even Safari to crash when I was trying to attach those same files and send them to clients via email. I got frustrated and am reinstalling the OS from scratch. I have a solid backup and thought this might clear up things (not to mention make me feel better cause I am cleaning house at the same time). Just now going through the forums to find others are having the same issues. If this does not fix the problem, I shall be back for more assistance. As a graphic/web designer, working in graphic files is my life (bread & butter).
