I'm inclined to second Rod's suggestions. I also repair permissions frequently after using MacJanitor to do the maintenance. However, since staring to use Terminal instead (I think the "sudo" commands posted here a while back run the same maintenance scripts) I haven't repaired permissions and have not had Photoshop CS quit on me. Some other possible areas to look at: Corrupted Preferences Corrupted fonts (especially if Photoshop quits when using the Type tool) Your font serving utility needs updating/upgrading A fault on your scratch disk The OS stores crash logs, you may want to inspect them and send them to Adobe and/or Apple. If you get the option to send a crash log when Photoshop quits, take the opportunity.
