Адоб фотошоп ошибка 16

Photoshop CS6 не запускается выдавая сообщение Ошибка 16. Простейшее решение проблемы — запустить его от имени Администратора (ставим соответствующую галочку в свойствах ярлыка программы на вкладке «Совместимость»).

(!)Но в этом случае перестает работать функция drag and drop, то есть вы не сможете перетаскивать изображения непосредственно в область редактирования. Придётся открывать файлы через Файл -> Открыть

Это справедливо и для Adobe Illustrator. Для корректной работы функции drag and drop в Windows 8/8.1 необходимо снять галочку «Выполнять эту программу от имени администратора».

Ошибка 16 лечится просто — нужно дать права на запись обычному пользователю в каталог SLCache. Расположение каталога SLCache в зависимости от версии Windows и Photoshop:

(Photoshop 32 бита)
Windows 32 бит — “<диск>:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache“
Windows 64 бит — “<диск>:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache“
(Photoshop 64 бита)
Windows 64 бит — “<диск>:\Program Files (x64)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache“
