I set up great studio presets and then /bAm/...start designer or photo again and all things are messy.

• Try to select my old saved preset, nothing.

• On a Mac desktop with three displays.

• Never adjusted my display setting in apple system prefs.

• I'm geeky.

• Happens in AP more than AD.

 

Any ideas?

Hi @Bobby June welcome to the forums,

To clarify, are you saving Studio Presets and when re-loading them the panels are not changing to the originally saved floating position on your monitors? Or is the Preset not loading at all?

It would be beneficial if you could provide a screen recording of what's happening when you save and load a Preset.

Hi Nathan. Thanks for looking at this.

The presets get broken, kinda. They are still available to choose but load a crazy layout of dialogs. It's killing the app. I can't use it because of this.

What you'll see is my center screen. You'll see what I end up with after setting up the menus (dialogs) on the other two monitors keeping my main screen for full image full screen. It seems that they regather into the main screen (not sure, tho) and it's just moving them but the same tools are open ( i think...it's been a while since i saw the last one happen...been back in PS handling work).

And I've tried a few things. Reinstalling the app (while removing everything the app installed). Uhh, Chucked old saved settings and other stuff I can't recall.

 

Oh. here's a big one. it's happening in both Design and Photo. And, to note, I'm on a Mac MIni M1 with the center screen plugged into their HDMI port. The second screen plugged into a USB-C to HDMI plug plugged into the USB-C port. And since apple is being a punk and only allowing two monitors to run off of this device, I plugged into the USB-A port a Display Port adapter which then allows a VGA out into my third monitor.
