Photoshop shuts down as soon as I open a file from Bridge

[Gena]

I am not sure what happened but I updated my iMac a month or two ago and haven't had any issues with it until tonight. I have not been able to go from Bridge to PSCS5. I wish I would have never updated to macOS Mojava... I pray that I can get my PSCS5 to work. Any suggestions?

Can you elaborate on this?  What happens (or doesn't happen) exactly?

Also, please do this for me: https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html

I have a Mac desktop running macOS Mojave and Photoshop CS5. It is over 2 years old, and has 24GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 667.56GB free out of 1TBGB. The last time I shut down was more than 24 hours ago. I run a cleanup program about once a week.

Choose my file in bridge, opens in camera raw... select a couple adjustments... open in photoshop - touch the picture or anywhere in photoshop, it automatically shuts down.

Ok, well, go ahead and restart the computer and see if the problem persists.

Also, is it only doing this with raw files?  What about PSDs or jpegs?

I went into Security & Privacy then to the Privacy tab and check marked the Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 box  -- it say's it allow's the apps below to control the computer. I rebooted the computer and now works!!! Such a relief! Thank you Damien for jumping in so quick to help! I really appreciate it.

Good question. I opened the raw files, so not sure about jpegs. I thought it was fixed but when closing Photoshop it sent me a notice of another crash incident. I have to be up for work in 4 hours... will not be able to look into anything more until tomorrow evening. 6:00PM Pacific Time ?

Mojave is a little more hyper when it comes to programs working. You have to add Photoshop to the Security & Privacy section (click the checkbox in the list,) and it's just not CS5, it's ALL versions of PS. Well at least as far as my knowledge goes.

I am using the program now and not having any issues... I hope when I close down it doesn't show an "crash" message.

Brian, can you explain how to add Photoshop to the Security & Privacy section? You say checkbox in the list???

I think you have already done the process. Here are the instructions from Adobe:

I haven't run CS5 in years, so it may not be in the list. If everything is working now, do not stress too much. Leave things alone.
