Well I did find out why Photoshop was being removed from my image file associations. It was FireFox 58 not getting along with H.S. I have to go with Chrome until there is a fix. Very random problem.
Got a tip for us?

APFS Bug in macOS High Sierra Can Cause Data Loss When Writing to Disk Images
good thing i don't ever write to a disc image (and CCC is behaving beautifully for backup)...
Uhhh... sure sounds like your system has just the Intel GPU - the post you're replying to speaks of NVIDIA GPU issues. I don't think any of the 13" Macbook Pros had a discrete GPU in them...
I do, but it's only sparse images that you keep adding information to. Making a read-only image for an off-line system archive works perfectly fine (and that's my only use of images). CCC handles this quite nicely.
Something must be wrong with your setup because I have that exact same machine and High Sierra runs flawlessly.
Since I've posted this Nvidia has released drivers for High Sierra. Everything works fine now.
high sierra on a rMBP 2012 16RAM I tried for a week then downgrade to sierra again, process was a pain, but the slow down that my workfow suffered was worth enough.
You could notice some delays in regular and common stuff, as opening windows or in dialog boxes.
Anyway, there are no special features I miss, so...

so your UI lags with High Sierra disappeared when Nvidia updated the drivers?? was the update come trough App Store?

My rMBP 2012 runs flawlessly with Sierra, but has some UI lags on High Sierra

Just upgraded my 2011 13" MBP, right off the bat the system UI is much smoother. Dock stacks, Launchpad, Mission Control, all smoother.
Anecdotally: updated from Sierra to High Sierra last night on my i7 4.0 ghz iMac with 32 gigs of memory and 1TB fusion drive.
This took from about 8 p.m. until well after midnight to get all of the updates installed.
Afterwards the machine was noticeably faster (snappier) and the screen replots in general seemed quicker. Seems like applications launch faster as well. I still haven't analyzed everything yet.
I then went through all of my "daily driver" applications and only a few were unable to operate (old versions of Logic Express and an old CD/DVD burning application that was long since replaced plus some other old apps).
I'm guessing this might be the last version I can safely run for some apps since they are chained to pieces of hardware that are no longer produced and the last version of software they produced to read/write to them are 32-bit. Still, maybe
I can run a VM with an older version if I can't obtain a 64-bit version. I own a lot of legacy audio interfaces.

Not totally gone. Could be hardware related. the 750 is not the most powerful GPU. I got it through Nvidia and google searches to find it.
