Bug Reports

I just updated my Photoshop this morning to version 27.9.0 and now, no matter what file format or options I use to export an image, the export appears washed out or sun-bleached.On a Reddit, I found the solution (posted 11 hours ago, very much in the same timeframe as I began experiencing it), which is to go into Preferences, under Performance, and uncheck Use Graphics Processor:https://www.reddit.com/r/photoshop/comments/1vak5kj/photoshop_update_and_now_my_images_look_washed/This should definitely be fixed. Thanks so much.

Photoshop closes by itself about 10 minutes after startup without displaying any error message.I have reinstalled it several times already, but the problem still persists. System info:Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.0.0 20251015.r.25 d1c1320  x64 (final, Release)Number of Launches: 19Operating System: Windows 11 64-bitVersion: 11 or greater 10.0.26200.8875System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:7, Stepping:2, AVX2, AVX-VNNI, HyperThreadingPhysical processor count: 6Logical processor count: 12Processor speed: 2496 MHzBuilt-in memory: 32578 MBFree memory: 20883 MBMemory available to Photoshop: 25038 MBMemory used by Photoshop: 70 %Crash Handler: AdobeDCX Version: 9.11.1SAM SDK Version: 14.3.4ACP.local Status: - SDK Version: 5.8.2 - Core Sync Status: Unknown - Core Sync Running: Unavailable - Min Core Sync Required: 4.3.4.2Live Edit Client SDK Version: v5.3.2Adobe Firefly: Please use any generative AI feature to view the latest version.OpenColorIO version: 2.4.2Content Credentials is n

Hello,I have encountered what appears to be a GPU-related rendering bug when converting RGB images to CMYK in Photoshop.SystemPhotoshop 27.8 macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 Mac Studio M2 Ultra Apple Silicon GPUProblemWhenever GPU acceleration is enabled, converting an RGB image to CMYK produces severe black rendering artifacts across the image. The artifacts appear immediately after the color conversion and make the document unusable.The issue occurs with multiple images and is fully reproducible on my system.Steps to ReproduceOpen an RGB image. Make sure Use Graphics Processor is enabled under Preferences > Performance. Convert the document to CMYK (either Image > Mode > CMYK Color or Edit > Convert to Profile). Large black artifacts appear throughout the image.Expected ResultThe RGB image should convert normally to CMYK without any visual corruption.Actual ResultThe converted image contains large black rendering artifacts that were not present in the original RGB document.WorkaroundDi

Issue summary: Since Photoshop 2025 (exact version unknown, but after 25.12.4) direction-based brush strokes, when set in the brush settings (Shape Dynamics - Angle Jitter - Direction), are not working properly. The very first 'pixel' of nearly every stroke is angled about 90 degrees perpendicular, before correcting itself immediately as the stroke continues. This breaks a previously working workflow. The problem is only mitigated by using external stabilisation (I’m using Lazy Nezumi Pro with light smoothing), which suggests the issue is related to how initial pen input samples are handled at stroke start. I also ideally need to have 1% smoothing enabled in Photoshop, or the bug can lightly reoccur occasionally. Using older Photoshop versions avoids the issue, but this is not a viable long-term solution due to other compatibility and stability concerns. I have used these brushes for years with no issues until recently.Product and version: 25.12.4. (laptop) the bug does not occur in th

Bonjour,Quand j'utilise l'Outil Correcteur Localisé en cliquant avec ma souris sur une zone de la photo à l’écran, une multitude de lignes partent dans tous les sens. Donc cet outil ne fonctionne plus depuis plusieurs jours. Est-ce un bug ?

Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.4.0 2Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit When I go to Image → Canvas Size, the default is always pixels. I want it to be inches. Note: I have checked in preferences, units and measures, and the default is inches. Also when I go to image → Image size, the default is in fact inches, which is what I expect.  Is the default unit for image → canvas size now different? Is there a different place to set it?  thanks

The AI ​​repair brush is not working in version 27.4. An error message appears when I set it to AI ON. When AI is set to AI AUTO, a pattern appears where the brush is supposed to repair.Please fix this bug. 

Since updating to 27.5 yesterday I’m encountering a bug where when I switch between channels of a Curves adjustment layer the active point is deselected. This breaks flow and slows down the process of getting the color right, which for me typically involves bouncing back and forth between 2 or all 3 color channels (working in RGB) and making one or two point adjustments with the arrow keys.  To reproduce:Make a new Curves layer Add a point somewhere in the middle of each of the R, G, and B channels.  Press Opt + 3, 4, or 5 to switch between the channels.  Prior behavior: you would still have selected and active the same, nth point on the curve. So, if you were on the Red channel and had tweaked a point in the middle, then switched to Blue which you hadn’t touched yet, you’d have the 255,255 point active since it was the second point on the curve. Once all three channels had a point though, switching between them would keep the midpoint selected for tweaking with the arrow keys. Current

Photoshop boots up, if I save a custom document template it sometimes will show up in that session while photoshop is left open. If I close photoshop the template will not exist when I next boot it up. 70% of the time when Photoshop is booted up the tools won’t load. I have reset tool preferences, reinstalled photoshop and downgraded to a previous version. Issues didn’t start until I updated to latest version, but still persist. 

Even though it is checked and has to be seen on the PSD screen and even though I uninstall the photoshop and resinstall it, even though I use the beat too, contexual task bar seems to be some else that I can not reach now :) Is there a solution for that?

Photoshop Version: 27.2.0 (Windows)  (sorry not 27.2.2 as per title)Steps to reproduce:Open Photoshop. Create a new RGB 8-bit document. Select Image → Adjustments → Brightness/Contrast. Instead of opening the Brightness/Contrast adjustment, Photoshop enters an eyedropper/modal state. Menus become disabled until Esc or Enter is pressed. Repeating the command eventually leaves Photoshop locked in the modal state.Expected behaviour:Brightness/Contrast dialog (or Properties panel) opens.Actual behaviour:Eyedropper/modal state appears, preventing use of the command.

This has been happening for about a year now, where I’ve noticed that Photoshop on the Ipad crashes randomly and loses some amount of your work. Yesterday it lost 2 hours worth of work. I have continually checked the space on my Ipad, which there is plenty of, so I don’t think it’s due to my Ipad’s dada load. This was not happening in years past, it’s just within the past year. 

When using the Move tool to reposition/shift a Pattern Fill layer, the on-canvas result is not calculated live. The move is registered internally (the pattern's actual position does change), but the canvas does not visually redraw to reflect it. Toggling the layer's visibility off and back on (hide > unhide) forces Photoshop to redraw and show the correct, updated position.Steps to reproduce:1. Create or open a document with a Pattern Fill layer (Layer > New Fill Layer > Pattern).2. Select the Move tool (V) with the Pattern Fill layer active/targeted.3. Click and drag on the canvas to reposition the pattern.Expected result:The pattern shifts and the canvas updates live, in real time, as it did in Photoshop 2025.Actual result:The canvas does not visually update while/after dragging. The move has actually occurred (confirmed because toggling the layer's visibility off then on forces a redraw that shows the pattern in its new, correct position), but there is no live visual feedba

I’ve reported this already in “Bug Reports” and my post was deleted with no resolution and no communication. I’ve reposted there and now looking for help here!When “opening as layers in photoshop” the images are very slow to load in PS 27.8 vs. 27.7. This problem is confirmed by several other users I know. What used to take 11 seconds now takes 17 seconds. There’s a new behavior where each of the layers “flashes” up on screen for a split second before the loading actually starts and it takes significantly longer than it used. Downgrading to 27.7 restores correct (fast) functionality. Why would my bug report get deleted and if there’s a bug then, how are we supposed to report it so that Adobe will address it? Thanks

This is what the gradient style selector looks like when a gradient is applied to a shape layer's stroke. It appears very wide and with options overlapping each other vertically. The same selector for gradients on a shape's fill appears normal. This also appears this way when it's accessed through the control bar when the Shape tool is selected.   This is on Photoshop 26.8.0 on Windows. {Thread renamed by moderator}
