Photoshop new file not working

Frustrating! If the "New" file option is not working in Photoshop, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Check for updates: Ensure that you're running the latest version of Photoshop. Sometimes, updates can resolve issues like this.
  2. Restart Photoshop: A simple restart might resolve the issue. Try closing and reopening Photoshop.
  3. Check for corrupted preferences: Corrupted preferences can cause issues with the "New" file option. To reset your preferences, follow these steps:
    • Close Photoshop.
    • Hold down the Shift key and launch Photoshop.
    • This will launch Photoshop with default preferences.
    • Try creating a new file again.
  4. Check for add-ons or plugins: Sometimes, add-ons or plugins can interfere with the "New" file option. Try disabling all add-ons and plugins, then try creating a new file again.
  5. Check for disk space: Ensure that you have enough free disk space on your computer. Photoshop may not be able to create a new file if your disk is full.
  6. Check for permissions: If you're using a network drive or a cloud storage service, ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create a new file.
  7. Try creating a new file in a different location: Sometimes, issues can be specific to a particular location. Try creating a new file in a different location on your computer or network.
  8. Check for conflicts with other applications: If you have other applications running in the background, they might be interfering with Photoshop. Try closing other applications and see if the issue persists.
  9. Reset Photoshop's settings: If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting Photoshop's settings to their default values. To do this:
    • Go to Edit > Preferences > General.
    • Click on the Reset button at the bottom of the window.
    • Confirm that you want to reset the settings.
  10. Contact Adobe support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may want to contact Adobe support for further assistance.

I hope one of these steps helps resolve the issue with the "New" file option in Photoshop!
