Adobe Photoshop CS5 is not working with Lion. It is totally non responsive to a point where i cannot work. all other CS5 programs seem to be running well so far. any advice? if no, then how do i revert back to Snow leopard?
Interesting as I am having no issues with files created a week or more ago.
Seth I am having the exact same issues. New files work great, but I cant do much on files I created only a couple days ago. All other Adobe products seem to be working just fine.
Do u have a CS package, or just PS? Do the other apps work? If so, I would not revert to SL just yet...as there would be hope. But I know, I can't live 20 minutes without PS. Btw, is it CS5.5 or just 5? I can't remember if it's a free upgrade or not, but if you have just 5, it might be worth the time to download the trial of 5.5 and see if your files work any better in that. That would tell u something anyway...
i just installed my old photoshop CS4 and it works perfectly with all files. So i guess we just have to wait until an update comes to solve the photoshop CS5 issue. All other CS5 programs are running smoothly: illustrator, bridge, flash
just replied to previous post - chek it out
Well im glad to hear you at least got PS working in some form.
Hope I still have my copy of CS4 somewhere...
That's a strange one...I saw something like this with a client of mine. He had PC PS files created in a pre-CS version. I was given the files to work on, and they would not open in SL, and with CS 5.1. It drove me nuts, and I finally told the client to see if he could update his PS. He did, resaved his work, and then all was fine on my mac.
I haven't tried using my version of PS CS5 today yet, however there are other programs that I use that are not working correctly with lion either. What I am going to do when I get home is partition my HD and reinstall my version of SL that came with my computer. This is the only fix that I see which is better than completely uninstalling and then reinstalling.
I have no issues with CS5 after the upgrade to Lion, but I found that Safari would not even start. With great help from Applecare, we found that Adobe FLASH plug-in was the killer. With that plugin removed, Safari works fine. I'm not sure what plugins you may have with CS5, but I'd disable/remove all of them, restart CS5 and try again. If that works, try adding the plugins one at a time (and restart CS5) to find the guilty party. Good luck! CS5 flys with Lion.
im having the exact same problem Seth and im stuck with CS5 since i don't have cs4.. i guess i'll just have to wait for an update that fixes the problem which is horrible cuz i live on photoshop!
Dude, we can't have this. Send me one of the failing files (use the form at the bottom of this page):

and I will see what I can come up with. Cheers!
It is not one file. It is all files i have created in PSD prior to Lion install. It is a basic 72 ppi file with about 6 layers and a layers folder. That simple. I open the file and even if i try move an object 1 pixel, it hangs in beachball mode for about 1 minute. even if i try select a layer in the layers palette it hangs for a few minutes. eventually photoshop becomse non responsive. I open the same files in CS4 and everything works perfectly. I followed ll the java install instructions etc. nothing helped. I have no plugins - just the original CS5 photohop. I cant see any articles on adobe support.
understood. i was going to see what happened in 5.5. But you can always download the trial and do that too. There are also two flavors of PS: normal and extended. It's gotta be a PS problem, so someone needs to figure out which version.
I have the same problem, and I think I found a temporary solution:
Try to go to the menu bar > Photoshop > Prefrences > Type: and uncheck "Font Preview Size"
Im using PS5 extended, version 12.03
Thanks to saysuki!!!!
