alernick Oct 29, 2017 6:01 PM (in response to wjoisjohcf)I am having the same problem today. It is destroying my files. I am afraid of opening more files as they are getting destroyed one by one.
PHOTOSHOP GUYS, pl;ease come up with a fix ASAP.
How can I revert to CC 2017? Anyone?

wjoisjohcf Oct 30, 2017 12:18 AM (in response to mglush)Images from the internet?? No? But even if so, I've been using Photoshop for more than 10 years now, I have never had such a problem. This makes PS unsafe to work, as alernick said, I'm not opening another file in this cauldron of uncertainty

davescm Oct 30, 2017 5:13 AM (in response to wjoisjohcf)Hi
I have not experienced any corruption of files.
However , in your position I would do the following:
1. Create a couple of test files and work on them to isolate the issue.
2. Turn off the GPU in "Photoshop > Performance and if that resolves the problem - turn it back on first in basic mode then try the other modes.
3. Once the outcome of the GPU on/off is known - raise a report at the link below , where it will be seen by Adobe staff, giving as much system info as possible - and be prepared to share a corrupted file. (This forum is predominantly answered by volunteer users)

gener7 Oct 30, 2017 5:56 AM (in response to davescm)Chris Cox recommends this tool to recover corrupted files.
Telegraphics - Free plugins for Photoshop & Illustrator...and other software
Other wise, it might be an idea to run a Disk Repair using First Aid on Disk Utiliity.
Resetting the nvram and smc might be a good idea. Do both.

carrief2051222 Nov 6, 2017 12:29 PM (in response to wjoisjohcf)THIS IS INSANE!!!!!! IT'S HAPPENING TO ME TOO!!!!!!!
It's Pritty F$%ED Up.........
EVERYBODY, sonner or later it will happen to you. I have a fresh system, just installed OS Sierra on my Mac and this happened to me today.
I will recommend to go back to 2017 until Adobe get's real about this BIG issue and takes care of it. Never seen anything like it on 15 years of working in Photoshop

9. Re: Photoshop CC 2018 corrupting PSD files
prepressdm Nov 8, 2017 11:25 PM (in response to wjoisjohcf)Same thing happened to me, I was using the healing brush tool and it just went berserk, then created these boxes (maybe from sections of the cloning tool areas I was working on?) and it's not a GPU thing, because they are completely selectable shapes. The black layer even turned white. I tried saving a copy closing re-opening rebooting and it's still messed up.
This is scary, I have a ton of work to do on products and cannot have it mess up like this. I will revert until it's fixed.

10. Re: Photoshop CC 2018 corrupting PSD files
elisef Nov 10, 2017 8:05 AM (in response to wjoisjohcf)I'm having the SAME ISSUE, thankfully I work with images, mostly in smart objects so I can relink the original file, and clean up every single mask I have, but this is really bad, some paint layers I can't save. This is MY JOB, I can't afford to lose work this way! I used to stick to CS6 and never had a single problem. Since I finally made the jump to CC in September, I keep having a million different problems. I really regret my decision at this point, as at least CS6 was stable and ran fast! I handle files that can go 4-6gb on tight dealines, I can't afford this crap. I had this problem before the CC2018 upgrade, but before it would affect 1-2 layers (the one I would be touching). Now it corrupts all my layers! I turned off GPU so we'll see but I'm not holding my breath.
I have a PC laptop, Intel i7-4810MQ @ 2.80ghz, 32 GB RAM, Windows 10 up to date, Intel HD Graphics 4600 & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M, all my drivers are up to date and I basically did a full clean install on my PC back in September, so all drivers are no older than then (and the reason I upgraded to CC at the time). I see most people having issues with Mac, but I'm on a 3 yo top of the line Digital Storm laptop...

gener7 Nov 10, 2017 9:45 AM (in response to elisef)CC 2018 is a .0 release and prone to a lot of problems. It was conventional wisdom to keep the earlier version around for at least a month.
You can with the CC plan install earlier versions as shown here: Re: Photoshop CC 2018 corrupting PSD files
CC 2017 or even CC 2014 are good picks. See if that works for you. You paid for it and might as well as get the benefits.

Ged Traynor Nov 10, 2017 10:00 AM (in response to elisef)Seems to me that Adobe are using users as beta testers these days, so many issues in this release, it was the same in CC2017
Having to go back to older versions is just crazy in this day and age, I got fed up with Adobes bugs in their releases and moved over to Affinity and have to say I'm glad I did, at least Affinity beta test their software before releasing an update

13. Re: Photoshop CC 2018 corrupting PSD files
prepressdm Nov 10, 2017 10:55 AM (in response to gener7)yeah, and Adobe could do beta releases for the guinea pigs that enjoy corrupting files for fun.
I already moved back to 2017 for photoshop at least. We had to move forward for some of the software because we are a print/media provider as well and need to have the same version as our clients.

1 person found this helpfulAre there steps you can perform that consistently reproduce this issue?
How often is this happening?
Do you have background save enabled?
Are the files stored on a local drive? or remote server?
Are these files stored in a location that uses a cloud sync or back-up service? (e.g. Creative Cloud sync, Dropbox, Skydrive, etc)
A damaged file might also be helpful. if you have one you can share, either post a URL to a CC shared file or dropbox, or let me know. That said, ideally we need steps to reproduce.

15. Re: Photoshop CC 2018 corrupting PSD files
prepressdm Nov 10, 2017 12:07 PM (in response to Jeffrey Tranberry)For me, this happened on the second file I used which was imported from a camera raw .nef file.
Locally, not on a network.
After that disaster I uninstalled 2018 and went back to 2017 so I can't try troubleshooting. (Not that I have the time for it anyway)
Not sure if I had background save enabled, it would be whatever the default was set to.
I do have crash plan as a backup service but it's not running while I'm working on it.

Thanks. Note, you can keep the latest version and prior versions installed at the same time. Just make sure you uncheck "Remove Prior Versions" in the advanced settings in the Creative Cloud desktop app. Update apps to the October 2017 release of Adobe Creative Cloud

17. Re: Photoshop CC 2018 corrupting PSD files
iamsuko Nov 11, 2017 5:54 AM (in response to Jeffrey Tranberry)Hey, had the same issue last night, except I'm using cc 2017.1.1 - I had a similar issue back when I had my 10 year old laptop running an old version of photoshop. Figured that was because it wasn't up to date and my graphics card was old, but perhaps not the only issues. I was going to update last night but then I saw this thread, so not sure if I should or not?
Not had chance to replicate the issue yet, but it happened when I was saving last night. It was happening to another image as well with less layers however that one seems to be ok now. If I come across this issue again I'll report back here with what happened.
I have background saving enabled / The files are all stored locally / There's no cloud syncing where they are stored / Happy to send over a corrupted file if you need one, is there an email address I can send it to?

iamsuko Nov 12, 2017 6:48 AM (in response to iamsuko)This has happened again today to a different image. I've reported it to the Photoshop Family Customer Community. This time it was when I was using a Gaussian blur on a smart object. This is really frustrating!

1 person found this helpfulIf you're still seeing this issue, try disabling the Halide Bottlenecks plug-in. You can do so by doing the following:
1. Cntrl or right-click on the Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 application package and choose Show Package Contents
2. navigate to Contents\Required\Plug-Ins\Extensions\
3. rename the HalideBottlenecks.plugin by adding a '~' at the beginning of the plugin name (it should be ~HalideBottlenecks.plugin when you're done)
4. Quit and re-launch PS
Please let me know if you're still seeing the corruption after this change.
Thanks,
Adam
PS - if the issue is also occurring on Windows, go to the app folder and navigate to Required\Plug-Ins\Extensions then follow steps 3 & 4 above.

24. Re: Photoshop CC 2018 corrupting PSD files
cjshelby78 Feb 6, 2018 12:18 PM (in response to wjoisjohcf)I have this issue as well on a brand new iMac. I did troubleshooting on everything and i believe once the file has the issue it's corrupted, artificating goes to corruption for me. Going to any other version probably will not help it unless you do a brand new file and move all the layers over before they get corrupted but even then who knows.
This could also be network related? Does anyone work local only and still have this issue?

patriciac62392617 Feb 20, 2018 8:19 PM (in response to Adam Jerugim)Thank you for your reply.
I downgraded to photoshop 2017.1.3
I don't see Halide Bottlenecks in the package.
I had the problem again yesterday. I worked for about 5 hours. When I tried to open the files today they were all corrupted. I'm now saving the files as layered TIFF. Each one is about 90 mg so extremely slow. Feels like I'm working in the 90's

26. Re: Photoshop CC 2018 corrupting PSD files
crainphoto Feb 22, 2018 10:21 AM (in response to wjoisjohcf)I am having the issue as well. Usually happening when saving large files, around a gig, or larger, across the network.
I was up till 4AM fixing abut half the files in a 35 image order.
Corrupted PSD's sometimes fail to generate a thumbnail in Bridge. In those cases, if I notice this before I close the file in PS, I can resave it until it does.
So frustraiting.

28. Re: Photoshop CC 2018 corrupting PSD files
Dnilo. Apr 16, 2018 3:20 AM (in response to wjoisjohcf)This is happening to me, both with simple png saving (I work with spritesheets, tilesets, pixel art game dev professionally, not like an enthusiast) and with animation.
I use png modify-save to see real time changes in Tiled.
For animation, I use photoshop timeline and there the issues are way worse, sometimes I apply an effect to some layer like glow and continue duplicating the frame to turn the effect off or move objects, and when I'm running through the frames back and forth sometimes effects just disappear from the layers and a whole mess invades my animations.
The last thing I did was to turn off "Use Graphics Processor to Accelerate Computation inside Advanced Graphics Processor Settings window, besides having all other boxes off I use Drawing mode in Basic (I use that setting all the time anyway). This seems to work for now, I have been working for some hours without getting my work destroyed.
Will update this post if I still have issues, otherwise I'll update later in the week if everything is "working" for me.
I honestly don't put the whole blame in Adobe, Apple has been doing it's fair share of stupidity lately. But still, things need more testing before getting released by both companies. I accept some bugs some times, but still, we pay for working tools and this time this graphical bug is not only making us lose some time but destroying hours of past work. My ultimate advice is to use backups, being these 'Time machine', dropbox, or whatever you can.
