you must have a legit adobe account (you must sign in it before launching Photosh0p 2024)

to be more clear , this is not an AMDFriend problem

Hi guys,

I have problem with Photoshop 25, after installed Sonoma, PS 25 started, I checked only .jpg but all worked.

When i tried to edit tiff from Lightroom to PS crashed, so I exported .jpg but PS crashed when I tried to use liquify or right after saved photo.

So I downloaded amdfriend, doing all steps, but I'm not sure that I properly install amdfriend, because nothig has changed.

Could someone look at logs from terminal?
It should looking like this?

@Mathisit didn’t work well 

did you use sudo in your terminal command?

which options?

 

[Mathis]

@fabiosun my command: sudo amdfriend --in-place --sign --directories /Applications/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 2024/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 2024.app

Yes it is fine but I do not know why you have some errors in verbose 

try to download the executable file from developer site and execute it

@fabiosuni had a lot of work so I left my osx and work from Windows. But i'm back to my hackintosh - downloaded from github, and:

1. 

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

2. 

brew install nodejs

3. xattr -c /Users/shotem/Downloads/AMDFriend/amdfriend

4. chmod +x/Users/shotem/Downloads/AMDFriend/amdfriend

5. sudo npm install -g /Users/shotem/Downloads/AMDFriend/amdfriend  

And right now i've got error:

 

So i put amdfriend to /usr/local/bin

6. sudo npm install -g amdfriend

 

7. sudo amdfriend --in-place --sign --directories /Applications/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 2024/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 2024.app

And get the same error, and PS doesn't work 😞

 

 

Any idea?

Well, I had a comprehensive reading of the topic thanks to my twin Guru @fabiosun 🙂 .

My main question in mind at this stage is the following:

Does this patch work for 99% of the apps (I saw some Adobe Suite softwares, DaVinci and so on...). I guess it is useless for Parallels Desktop.

I use many of them, but not always on the latest build because of compatibility issues.

I have no intellectual problem "playing" with the AMD hack, but if each time there is an Adobe release, the patch needs to be tuned (I am honestly unable to do that on my own), It's going to be somehow a bit crazy.

You can't of course, predict Adobe developers behaviour, but as of today has it been pretty smooth or a bit tricky? 🙂 

 

I already have an AMD setup, it can become my kindergarten for fun, but I need to rely on a pretty stable setup as well.

Intel is safe (Casey has a powerful one to be upgraded to Z70 Creator version).

I rely on your expertise my friends!

[fabiosun]

The patch is only useful if the apps use MKL Intel Libraries

Davinci doesnt need of it

Photoshop, Premiere pro and After Effects need it 

this below is an example how it is difficult to apply it :

sudo /Users/fabio/Desktop/amdfriend --in-place --sign --directories /Applications/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 2024/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 2024.app

 

AMDFriend does all the job for us

 

and yes it is useless in Parallels Desktop (there is another problem there)
