Version 12.0.4

Recently installed CS6 on same machine and never had issues running 2 PS versions together. I'm not 100% certain that it's dual version PS issue.

No other app s crashing.
Crashes most often on launch and quitting... although occasionally at other times too.

Possibly has something to do with Suitcase Fusion 4?
I have seen Suitcase telling me on launch that it crashed last time. Although I never see it crash.

More crash report shows plugin and fonts being referenced:

Looks like a font/plug-in crash to me. Remove the plug-in from the Photoshop plug-in folders. See if that stops it. ATS = Apple Type Services

Just curious: Why would you need both versions of Pshop? I could be wrong, but AFAIK, Pshop, unlike ID and AI, is not version-centric. 'Nudder words. you should be able to open CS6 or CC Pshop files in CS5.

You might want to get FontFinagler to purge all your font caches.

Cuz there's some things in 6 that behave differently and the dark look, etc. I need to segue into it.
I just installed it last week on my studio computer.

You can change the dark look in Preferences/Interface.

Thanks!

Yep, you have that option with ID and AI, too.

So, what's the next excuse? Your dog ate the pen tool?

?
I know about changing stuff in prefs... but as I said I just installed last week.
Haven't had time to adapt to 6.
I installed the other version on my aide home computer... but am just now getting to mine.
I'm hammered with work this month. Probably be my best month ever... and I just need shiiit to work.
