Bonjour ! Avec Windows 10 et Photoshop CC 2024 l'outil lasso polygonal refuse les retours arrière. Pourriez-vous me dire ce qui peut causer ce problème assez désagréable s'il vous plait ? Cordialement THOMAS60

Hello -   I updated my Photoshop to 26.5.0, and now when I try to purge the "Video Cache" (from drop down menu "Edit"), well automatically "𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿.𝗮𝗽𝗽" is launched and seems to not responding. The only way to close that app is too "force quit".   Any idea why and how to avoid this behaviour? Thx, enjoy your day…       - Dimitri  

Photoshop for Windows v 26.6 (updated today)   Expected behavoir: Create any shape using pen tool. Click that layer when completed and be able to see and adjust shape properties such as fill and stroke.   Current behavior: Use pen tool but the only properties shown are masks (density and feather). Standard shapes seem to show the properties correctly (oval, rectangle, etc)   Steps to reproduce: New file - web large  Select Pen tool Plot some points and close the shape Observe the properties panel

THe latest version of Photoshop has a new very annoying bug! If you have multiple canvases open in photoshop, it constantly keep selecting the underlying/non current canvases especially when they are hidden behind the canvas you are working on. Therefore you need to keep each canvas distant from eachother or open as few images as possible. This is super annoying! See videoPS! Rolling back to Photoshop 25.5 and it works. 26.0 and 26.1 the bug appears. Can you please fix this asap adobe!?

Adobe Photoshop 26.8.1 on Mac OS 14.6.1   If I apply Curves to a Layer Mask and use the Black Point Picker after the White Point Picker it seems to produce a faulty result. (see gif)    Can anyone confirm or has this issue already come up previously?    Regards,  Pfaffenbichler 

I am trying to change the setting on my line tool arrow option to be a percentage of the line vs. just a pixel setting, but PS won't allow it. This is critical, because I have lines of different lengths and widths, and the arrowhead needs to be responsive based on the line it is drawn with.

Hi. The histogram shown in the Histogram panel and Curves & Levels UI is incorrect for 32-bit images. The histogram is shifted right. I see this in Ps 26.8.1 and recent prior versions. The shifted histogram makes it much harder to use Curves because the plotted histogram doesn't relate to the curves I make. The curves I make are being applied correctly in compositing (thankfully!). Below is a simple example with a solid gray layer, having an RGB value of [0.1, 0.1, 0.1]. The direct conversion to 8-bit would be [26, 26, 26]. The Info panel is correct:  The Histogram and Curves panels show incorrect histograms, showing an 8-bit value of 89 instead of 26. Various 32-bit color values I have tried seem to show 8-bit histogram values that are being gamma-converted to gamma 2.2. For this example having a 32-bit color value of [0.1, 0.1, 0.1]:(0.1 ^ (1 / 2.2)) * 255 = 90.48Here the converted value of 90.48 is close to the value 89 shown in the histogram. I tri

Hi. Photoshop closes automatically after freezing for a few minutes. It's very annoying to have to save your work every 2 minutes in case it happens again. I thought that with today's update it would be solved, but no. I got confused and I have not saved the work and I have lost half an hour of work. Attached system information.

Existe um bug que eu enfrento já há anos, e não sei se há alguma forma de corrigir. Basicamente, quando eu seleciono uma ferramenta qualquer e depois vou selecionar uma nova, o Photoshop fica voltando para a ferramenta anterior. Por exemplo: Uso a ferramenta Remover, e após isso, preciso usar o Zoom pra ajustar a foto. Quando vou arrastar o Zoom, o Photoshop retorna para a ferramenta Remover e faz um traçado de remoção e não o zoom. Isso realmente é irritante e não sei se é um bug conhecido. Gostaria de saber se tem algo que pode corrigir.

The current version of Photoshop continues to have issues. Especially in versions after 26.0, the Remove Tool often triggers crash reports after being used a few times and operates very slowly.(Please don’t mention the Faster or More Stable options, as they are not fundamental solutions to the problem.)     This is how the Remove Tool performs in version 25.12.While 25.12 isn’t the most stable version, its speed isn’t too bad. (As I’ve mentioned in other threads, there’s also this bug: in versions 25.12/26.2, it seems that the first stroke is always processed by the CPU, which makes it slow, while the GPU seems to take over from the second stroke onward.)       And this is how the Remove Tool performs in version 26.2. You’ll definitely notice the difference in speed—it’s extremely slow. During the time you wait for it to process, the results are either the same as in 25.12, fail to remove the object properly, or trigger a crash report, making it a very unstab

The 'Enable Gestures' option allows users to use trackpad gestures like 'Two-finger move' for panning and 'Pinch in/out' for zooming in and out. However, if you enable the 'Zoom with Scroll Wheel' option, the gestures start to malfunction. The 'Two-finger move (up/down)' gesture, instead of panning, begins to zoom the image in and out. Essentially, both gestures end up performing the zoom function when using a trackpad.     Photoshop v25.9.1 macOS v12.7.6

Issue: In Photoshop (32-bit mode), the 32-Bit Preview Options feature does not behave as expected. When adjustments are made in the 32-Bit Preview Options (e.g., adjusting Exposure, Gamma, or Preview Mode), the changes are reflected only in the Navigator Panel, but not in the Main Workspace Display.   Photoshop version 26.2.0 20241207.r.140 bc85906 arm64OS: Mac OS 14.6.1 Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a 32-bit image in Photoshop. 2.Go to View > 32-Bit Preview Options. 3.Adjust the Exposure or Gamma values. 4.Observe the effect in the Navigator Panel. 5.Notice that the Main Workspace Display remains unaffected.    

Explain why the latest version of Adobe Photoshop made changes that worsened the display of the curves panel interface? The curve graph has become much smaller, why is this? To make the curves look bigger, I need to scale the panel, but in that case there is an empty space.Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.8.0 20250611.r.16System: Mac OS 15.5.0System architecture: Apple M2 Max

App Version: Adobe Photoshop 26.6 Platform/OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 (MacBook Pro M2 Max) Steps to Reproduce: Open an image. Use the Color Sampler Tool to place a point for monitoring color values. Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Click and hold the Saturation or Lightness slider and move it with the mouse. Observe the Info panel values for the sampled point.Expected Result:The Info panel should update color values live and continuously as the slider is being moved (without releasing the mouse button), just like in previous Photoshop versions. Actual Result:The Info panel does not update during the slider movement. Values only update after the mouse button is released.This behavior is not present in other adjustment layers like Brightness/Contrast, where the Info panel updates in real time as expected. Why this matters:This regression breaks real-time feedback during color correction, making it impossible to adjust Hue/Saturation accurately based on sampled values. Live In

Hi ...again,Today I have the following problem:I have a smartobject with smartfilter and have to transform it freely (Control+T). Nothing special, works like always. But the smartobject has a mask on the smartfilter. This mask is not transformed at all. It sticks on the right position when I move the object, but it refuses to do anything while the layer is tranformed. Since PS CC (19.1.4) on PC is a big collection of bugs, I can't decide if its another bug, just adobe's ignorance for usability, or if there is an option I have missed. This action is also totally ignored in adobes smartfilter-tutorial (I wonder why... ;D ). Turning the smartobject into a new smartobject is not an option since the new smartobject is calculated from the size of the inner object and not from the original source anymore. Help, ideas or links to solutions would be very welcome! thxMy system: PC AMD A8 5600K, 8GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro P400, win10pro 64bit, PS Version 19.1.4, no addons.

Device: iPad Air (5th Gen) running iPadOS 17.2. Stylus: Apple Pencil (USB-C) - A3085 Photoshop for iPad version: 5.4 (20231204.515)   When using my Apple Pencil in the Photoshop for iPad app, my brush strokes do not show up on the screen until I lift my Apple Pencil off of the screen.  When using my finger, my brush strokes show up as I make them.  Of course this makes the creative process difficult because you can't see where your brush stroke has been unless you lift your pencil off of the screen.   I have completed the following troubleshooting steps:   Tried this with my wife's Apple Pencil (same model) on her iPad (10th Gen) and hers does the same thing. Unpaired and repaired my Apple Pencil Restarted my iPad Uninstalled and reinstalled the Photoshop for iPad app. I tried the "Stylus only painting" option both on and off with the same results. I have searched high and low online and have seen others with this same issue, but no resolution.  I'm 100

My photoshop is getting stuck whenever I try to use the camera raw filter; nothing opens up after I click on it, and I can't even close my photoshop. everything gets stuck and a sound like a notification comes up, but still, nothing shows up

I have to each and every time manually click to update, this does not happen to older version of photoshop.    Version: Photoshop 26.7 Opertating System: MacOS Sequoia 15.5

i want to transform a shape but every time i see this error. how can i fix it? 

Hi everyone, since I bought a new MacBook, I installed the latest version of Photoshop, and the "Merge a copy of all visible layers into target layer" action with the famous Command, Option, Shift + E stopped working.It still works perfectly on my other iMac, and it also worked on my previous MacBook, but on my new MacBook, when I press the usual keys, nothing happens. I installed and uninstalled. I spoke to support (they told me the craziest things, like my plan didn't access that keyboard option, haha).I installed an older version. NOTHING. All the other keyboard shortcuts work, except for this one. I read in another post that they talk about another app that could be hijacking my keyboard shortcuts, but I booted into Safe Mode and it doesn't work either. What do you think it could be? I'm not the only person this happens to, I've spoken to other colleagues (I'm a photographer) and they're having the same problem.This option isn't in the menu to select it, is it? Any i

I created a video file using Photoshop 22. The PSD file itself states: Adobe Photoshop 22.3 (Windows) It is a fairly simple file that uses an external video source file (ProRes converted professionally from an 8mm film with no audio) and an MP3 for background music.   I just tried to open this file in Photoshop 2025 and the beta which is also installed on this PC. The file opens without any error message, however: Sometimes the file opens without the video resource at all, other times it opens the video file but when I play it or render the video it shows only the first frame of each section (I cut the video to pieces as I needed to apply different filtering to each section). It opens without the audio file, meaning when I play the video in Photoshop or play the rendered MP4 it's muted.   Stuff I did to try and figure it out: Opened the PSD in a hex editor to confirm I didn't move files (I didn't, the relative paths are the same as the files) Converted the same source

I kindly request assistance with fixing an issue with artboards in Photoshop. They cannot be copied by dragging with the mouse or using the 'plus' icon. It always gets stuck, and it takes an extremely long time. The last 'usable' version was 25.7; this bug appears in all subsequent versions and significantly slows down my workflow. 😞 System: Mac mini M2 Pro, 16 GB RAM, Ventura 13.3.1  Older, und not resolved thread is here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/photoshop-25-9-hangs-when-moving-artboard/m-p/14759174#M822076

Hi!   This is my first time having such a problem, I can't seem to find my brushes when i want to import them. They appear no problem when i look into my folder but once i am typing .abr (so it shows them all no matter how old) it doesn't show anything. Yet, they are still there in my folders.    I am on the latest version of Photoshop (V.26) and the latest version of Mac OS (Sequoia 15.1.)   Here are some screenshots to illustrate the problem (I put comments in between each of them for more explanation) :    Because my U.I is in french I will provide explanation for each pictures. This one is me opening "Import brushes"     This one is me showing that my brush file does exist whithin my finder files and I can open it as it shows, so far, no problem.       And now here is the problem, as you can see, I searched in the search bar for ".abr" which is the format of photoshop brushes. But nothing comes up.    Which means i
