@Sittle    If you mean the Application Frame, there is a checkbox in the Window menu to disable it. It's been around for a while, but is on by default. https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/photoshop-cc-the/9781491905593/ch01s01.html   I don't know why your settings were not imported.

If others cannot reproduce the issue, it suggests that more complex circumstances may be involved By @NetPixel Studio   Cmd/Ctrl+1 for 100% is the same shortcut for InDesign, Illustrator, and Acrobat.    I can think of a couple of things to try, although none may be your actual issue: Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and let us know if you are using the default set, a modified default set, or a saved custom set. Check the keyboard shortcut for actual pixels and tell us what it says. Can you change it there? Keyboard shortcut sets can be saved with a workspace, so check to see if that is the issue. Your shortcuts may possibly "belong" to one workspace and you are using another. Sometimes another app takes over PS shortcuts. It could be a browser. Try rebooting and run only Photoshop to see if your shortcut works.   For the Photoshop history: Cmd/Ctrl+1 used to be the shortcut for the Red Channel. When Creative Suite (not Cloud) first came out, Adobe changed some shortcuts and other things for consistency across applications. Cmd/Ctrl+1 suddenly became 100% to match other applications and Photoshop users emitted screams that could be heard around the world.      The reason I am bringing this up is that if you select the checkbox for "Use Legacy Channel Shortcuts" in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, you can still use Ctrl+1 for the Red channel. This probably has nothing to do with your issue, but can you humor me and tell me if that box is checked for you or not? It will take less time than it took to read this paragraph.   Jane   ...

every time i update the premiere and ae another aspect of core functionality is broken or underperforms By @a david   You jumped in on a thread from 2023 in the Photoshop forum.   Here are the links for Premiere Pro and After Effects for you — where you are more likely to get help with these issues.

@dtroyphoto    I keep AutoSelect off and do one of the following: Select the layer manually in the Layers panel (with Auto Select off) Command+Click in image to select the layer where there are pixels (which isn't working for you) Right-click to see a shortcut list of all the layers directly under the pixel where you right-clicked. Best practice is to name layers. This method could be confusing if your layers are named Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 1 copy, etc. If you don't have a two-button mouse, use Control+Click to get the context sensitive menu.   Will any of these work for you?   Jane ...

As I've said repeatedly By @GMPhotography   I remember an announcement at Adobe MAX about free credits for a limited time, but didn't pay too much attention.   The only thing I can find now is on this page, which  includes a screenshot from MAX, says the free credits are available until December 1, specifies who qualifies and says how to tell if you are on an eligible plan. https://www.feisworld.com/blog/adobe-firefly-unlimited-credits   Is this what you are looking for?   Was it working for you and then stopped, or did it never work?   Jane   ...

@TeresaNguyen123    Because you didn't say, does your image have either transparent pixels or a solid color pixel around the edges?   Did the trim command work before?   Jane   From Adobe Help: The Trim command crops an image by removing unwanted image data in different ways than the Crop command. You can crop an image by trimming surrounding transparent pixels, or background pixels of the color you specify. Choose Image > Trim. In the Trim dialog box, select an option: Transparent Pixels to trim away transparency at the edges of the image, leaving the smallest image containing nontransparent pixels. Top Left Pixel Color to remove an area the color of the upper-left pixel from the image. Bottom Right Pixel Color to remove an area the color of the lower right pixel from the image. Select one or more areas of the image to trim away: Top, Bottom, Left, or Right. ... View more
