Creatives benefit greatly from the powerful tools Adobe Creative Suite offers. I am not a software developer and realize that a lot goes into making software both powerful and stable, but that doesn’t seem to matter to me when I lose a substantial amount of work because of a crash. While mocking up this site in Photoshop I experienced frequent crashes when rearranging layer levels before abandoning the graphics to a code-on-the-fly approach.
It is important to provide helpful information outlining a crash. However, after multiple crashes I find it can be cathartic to use the problem description field as a quick venting therapy session before spending the next hour trying to recreate lost work. To make light of what at times be a real bummer, this Adobe Crash Reports Flickr Group is a place to share screenshots of our creative crash report problem descriptions.

@rob_fuel great! I've got another one. "I'm going to roll you off the bed when you fall asleep." in reply to rob_fuel 4 hrs ago
CS4 use to hang for me consistently and crash at least once a week. now i have 10gbs of RAM and have had no issues. i was told CS4 is a RAM hog, even more than previous versions by our MAC provider.
I read somewhere that having spaces enabled also affects these stupid crashes. I’ve lost hours of work… multiple times due to PS crashing when simply trying to move layers. I’ve now disabled spaces and haven’t yet had a crash… but that was just yesterday. :o/
