Full Screen mode for me always hid panels and toolbar, unless I move my pointer to the left or right edge.   Can you tap on the TAB key to bring them back? I have Ps v 26.6 on MacOS 12.7.6 and don't notice it.   Also under Preferences > Workspace, see if checking or unchecking "Auto Show Hidden Panels" helps.   Lastly, try resetting your prefs. ...

Well at least now I know this fix is not limited to Intel macs. It should go well for all macs and macoses   thanks for confirming that. 👍   Also you have your Notes app. Use it to log any custom changes, what steps you took and where you found the info. Your notes will always be there and that should save you from trying to remember what you did and where you found them. ... View more

I've marked MikelKlink's answer as correct. Interesting that the PDF bug crashed Acrobat, but not  other PDF readers (or even my copy of Acrobat). I guess that's what makes troubleshooting a teachable experience. ... View more

Thanks  Dan,  I have MacOS 12 and it opened fine in Firefox.  Acrobat DC had no problem either. So I opened it in Preview and exported it as PDF/A  I'm attaching it and hope it works.   https://www.adobe.com/uk/acrobat/resources/document-files/pdf-types/pdf-a.html#:~:text=PDF/An%20is%20the%20standard,suitable%20for%20long%2Dterm%20archiving. ...

Clearing the Recent Files also clears the visual thumbnails on the workspace window. My thought is that perhaps doing so may reset your thumbnail workspace. I run PS 2025/v26.5 on MacOS 12.7.6 on a Mid 2015 Macbook Pro and never had problems with the thumbnail workspace. So I can't say exactly why this is happening. ... View more

I do see what happened. You purchased Photoshop only. US$22.99/mo* annual commitment. "Commitment" means you get a lower price if you agree to subscribe for a year. *The exact price will vary by currency and country.   You might ask to be switched over to the Photography Plan: Photoshop + Lightroom for US$14.99 per month annual commitment. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/faq/ccpp-20gb.html   We are user to user support, we do not set the pricing. You will have to use the chat icon or contact Adobe sales for your country. They  might allow you to downgrade without the penalty. ... View more

26.4.1 is the latest Photoshop for MacOS. I'm even running it on 12.7.6  Upgrading might fix it. Another cause would be corrupt preferences. This helpdoc should show you how to properly reset things without losing your workspace and settings. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html ... View more

Jeff is correct there. If you built your own set of swatches from Pantone Connect and you are allowed to import them as swatch files, you should see the tool tip. I don't think you mean the Pantone Connect Extension Panel, but I need to go over it for others in the forums.   Pantone parted ways with Adobe years ago and now have their own subscription service "Pantone Connect". I can go to https://connect.pantone.com/#/picker?pantoneBook=pantoneCmykCoated and sign in, see my libraries and hover over a swatch to see a larger pop-up that I can click on to get options many of which are not availiable to free accounts.   Now over to the 2019 extension marked as "Legacy" in the menu. I click on Photoshop Window menu > Extensions > Pantone Connect in the menu,sign in and my palette shows up, but without the large swatches on hover.       The Pantone Connect Extension offers a three-dot menu which offers the same options as clicking on the large hover swatch in the web version of Pantone Connect. I'm not a designer so I don't need or want the subscription. Same results for Illustrator and InDesign. I run MacOS 12.7.6 Maybe it comes on if you have a paid subscription but I don't know for sure. The extension looks like a chopped down version of  the web interface and since it belongs to Pantone, you must contact their Support team if this is what you mean.   I hope they can help.   ...

Have a look at the Character Panel settings as well as your Mac Keyboard settings. You also have Reset Character and Reset Paragraph in that menu. Maybe try a similar but different font.     Reset the Type Tool in the Options Bar: Ctrl + Click (or Right-click) on the T for the Reset menu.   If that doesn't help, Try Resetting Photoshop Prefs on Quit. I personally would suggest to save and name your workspace  so you don't lose it. Every goes to Essentals default.   ... View more
