After upgrading to Yosemite, PSE 12.1 hangs the moment I try to use the "smart brush" feature. This is always repeatable.
Anyone else having similar issues? I tried to open a bug at bug report.apple.com, but the site appears to be hung.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
Console log from a typical hang:

Same problem and more. PE12 hangs if I use any brush tool, the segmented lasso tool, others. Entirely unusable application now.
I've opened a bug report with Apple at http://bugreport.apple.com - you might want to do the same.
I tried opening a bug at photoshop.com, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.
Yes, I've already reported the bug there, where they complained that it's obviously Apple's fault since it works fine in Mavericks.
If that's truly their response, best publicize it as Adobe must not care.
(Hint: Yosemite has been available to developers for about eight months now; no one at Adobe could be bothered to try it?)
Photoshop Elements 13 works fine, so Adobe probably doesn't care about getting PSE12 working. 😟
Elements 12 hangs.
I never deleted PS6 or PS 10. I tried them to see if they would work with Yosemite. Ancient PS6 will run on Yosemite.
Guess what? The two older versions do not hang.
This an Elements 12 specific problem.
You have to buy Photoshop 13 to fix.
I should have typed that I used PSE6 and PSE10 to test that the hanging does not occur.
You do not have to buy Elements 13 if you have an older version of PSE to install.
I saw a post about this on the Photoshop blog: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop-elements-hangs-i n-yosemite
It seems there is a work-around. The problem is only with the trackpad.
Some people, including myself, have discovered the problem does not occur when using a mouse. I'm have both a trackpad (which I very much prefer) and a Logitech wireless mouse and when I tried editing with the mouse in PSE12, it worked normally.
First time I've ever come across a problem where a mouse worked but not the trackpad. I do hope there's a solution, but at least there's a work-around.
Yes, I have the same problem but it is only with trackpad, it works when I use a mouse.
Does anyone know if the problem with the trackpad will be fixed by Apple?
I have several problems with the trackpad, even with other programs.
I have the same problem on my MacBook Pro with Photoshop Elements 12 under Yosemite. Using the TRACKPAD to select the Brush tool, for example, and the software fails. It's repeatable. If I use a mouse (I borrowed one from my neighbor), it works fine.
Adobe says this is an Apple issue and we should complain to Apple; Adobe says that are not going to deal with it. Hmmm ... Adobe seems to have a reactive rather than collaborative response to this issue.
I want to report this bug directly to Apple in addition to this blog. But I don't want to chat with them, just send them an email and be notified when the fix is issued. How do I do that?
Did you verify PSE 13 is able to use the touch-up and clone tools with a trackpad (Magic Trackpad or built-in) without immediately hanging the application? This problem doesn't seem to occur using a mouse. Thanks!
Someone on the Adobe forums, regarding this issue, stated that PSE 13 does indeed work using the trackpad. Hopefully, a few more people will provide confirmation.

On that forum there is a Adobe software engineer who says Apple has a trackpad problem that needs to be fixed. He might be right. I have noticed the trackpad seems to be more sensitive in Yosemite. But, if PSE 13 works then Adobe does have a solution that could be applied to PSE 12. Adobe management needs to give the go-ahead to the software team to create a special patch so that PSE 12, and preferable PSE 11, both work with Yosemite.
I can confirm that a friend who has PSE 10 and Yosemite has no trackpad issues. I previously confirmed that PSE 6 works fine. Anyone who has an old version of PSE should install it on Yosemite as a workaround until Apple and Adobe get the PSE 11/12 bug fixed.
