Killer Photoshop CC 2015.5 Bug for Mac Users

If you make prints with a color-managed system, using a Mac and Epson printers, and if you've "upgraded" Photoshop CC to the latest version released a couple of weeks ago, that is, version 2015.5, you have a problem.

A long thread in the Luminous Landscape forums provides details:

That thread includes other useful links, but I'll add a couple here for convenience. The Adobe support forum thread on this:

The thread title would lead one to think only Lightroom is affected, but Photoshop is, too.

In his blog, Conrad Chavez provides help for rolling back your Ps CC installation to a previous version:

These are good links today, but as usual with the Web, one can't predict how long they'll be active.

It appears Adobe is aware of the problem, and while admitting they didn't test this in the 2015.5 release, they appear to be pointing the finger at Apple. Again. We may be in for another round of blame wars while we users wait for somebody to fix things. As always, we'll see.

I'm still reading and learning more about all this. I've just wrapped up several large print jobs and have not seen color problems, but I am having issues printing new files on roll paper. More about that  when I have time to write it up, in a day or two.
