Adobe has discovered the compatibility issues listed below with running Photoshop CC 2015 with Mac OS 10.11 (El Capitan). We recommend that customers do their own testing on a non-production partition to ensure that new operating systems work with their current hardware and drivers. In Photoshop CS6 in OS X 10.8 through 10.11, if you are having problems with keyboard shortcuts or brushes, including lags when painting, and especially with a Wacom tablet connected, you may need to install the “white window workaround” plug-in and try updating your Wacom driver.
Hey louis HUI,
I can totally understand the importance of needing your Photoshop CC application running as expected. If this app started crashing soon after you updated to 10.11.6, you should check to see if the PhotoShop CC app has any available updates as well. After checking this and the issue is persistent, try booting up into safe mode. OS X El Capitan: Start up in safe mode
What is safe mode?
Photoshop Elements For Mac 10.11.6
Safe mode (sometimes called safe boot) is a way to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, and prevents some software from automatically loading or opening. Starting your Mac in safe mode does the following:
Verifies your startup disk, and attempts to repair directory issues if needed.
Loads only required kernel extensions.
Prevents startup Items and login items from opening automatically.
Disables user-installed fonts.
Deletes font caches, kernel cache and other system cache files.
Together, these changes can help resolve or isolate issues related to your startup disk.
If your Photoshop CC app does not crash while you are in safe mode, you may want to check your login or startup items and remove them while in safe mode, then restart your Mac normally and test the App. OS X El Capitan: If you think you have incompatible login items
These steps should have your Photoshop app running as smooth as it did before you updated your OS X, if not, the last resolution would be to uninstall, then reinstall your Photoshop CC app. Please be sure that you have any necessary serials or activation codes/keys to apply to the App when reinstalled.
