You should have said you were using a Mac - it all makes sense now! Just pulling your leg. What is your configuration - cpu/ram/graphics card/system drive type (mechanical/fusion/SSD/m.2 NVMe) It does sound like your are working with an older machine, with less than 32 gb ram, and a mechanical or even a fusion drive, and possibly an almost full drive, or using external drives.

I had a similar incident last week. When I checked on the internet it seems to be a known quirk using Macs and the latest update. I have not taken the time to get Adobe help on the phone and see if there is a workaround other than opening the two images and manually draging the layer from one onto the other. If you get an answer from Adobe please publish.

It's a 2012 27" Imac, 3.2 gh processor, 32 gb ram, 1 vram, 1 tb fusion drive. Adobe didn't give me a definitive answer, but said it's most likely my GPU. 1.5 is required to run 2022. He said I should have been getting an error message upon login saying my machine was incompatible, but I wasn't getting one.

Hello Irwin. See my above post to Gene. That's probably not going to be much help to you if you have an adaquete video card.

Thank you mflowe. I have an older machine, so it may in fact be that the video card is too ancient.

I was joking but you may have nailed it. The newer software will only run in 64 bit OS.
