PNGs showing as corrupt in photoshop??

[Guest]

I am using Photoshop CC 2018, a recently updated and installed programme on my macbook pro 2018.

Whenever I open a PNG file in photoshop, it shows as corrupt. It displays a square of rainbow squares. This happens with any png, but on other computers and systems, these files work.

I can use them in illustrator.

TIA

Turn off

Preferences > Plug-Ins > Allow Extensions …

Preferences > Plug-Ins > Load Extension Panels

and restart Photoshop.

It is not a perfect solution.

The Bug coming back even with the options unchecked. You have to restart Photoshop each time the glitch appears ... Thank you to fix the problem with an update.

It may not be perfect, but it is a workaround . Adobe's developers have acknowledged the issue and are working on a solution.

Hi lilyc,

This problem should be fixed after the Photoshop 19.1.2 update. You can install this update via Creative Cloud desktop app.

Also, you can refer the list of the fixed issues after the Photoshop 19.1.2 update, here: Fixed issues in Adobe Photoshop CC
