Bug Reports

I cant drag an image from my open ps file to my open ai file.  I used to be able to drag things no problem.  However, now, when I drop it in ai, it has the green plus sign but nothing happens?  Is this a bug in Ps version 26.3?   {Title updated by moderator}

I can create from “New” and set the size for a white background working start, but “Generate Image” is grayed out on both the contextual bar and the drop downs. I’ve used it before successfully. …The only thing I could find in searching is to make sure that under   File >  Preferences > Plugins > Enable Generator checkbox is ticked.But I checked that and, as you can see in the second image, it is ticked.…I’m not sure what more to do and really wanted to generate some images for a newsletter I’m doing. I'm on a Win 11 PC with a current subscription to Adobe Creative Suite.  

Hello, I am new to Photoshop and experience problems with no opacity stops showing up on the gradient map. only the white & black color stops at the bottom when the gradient editor. (as shown in screenshot). Now please know opacity stops showing up for gradient overlay in fx.   Iv'e looked at other discussions regarding classic gradient than going to legacy but. Im not the best at navigating and it is not showing up in my setup or i just dont know how to get there. please let me know if there is any other way and explain as if I am completely new cause I am. I did try resetting all gradient preferences but that did not help or change a thing. I was following tutorials before and it did appear to be there before but now is not showing up. 

My Photoshop CS5.1 non-Creative Cloud “purchased product” that has been running flawlessly on my 6-year-old Dell Inspiron computer suddenly, and without invitation, turned into an upgraded 30-day trial version.  It has since expired and with every attempt to reload it from my disk, it will not run.  I have even downloaded the program from my Adobe account with the same results.  A pop-up request to enter my serial number is all I get when I try to run it.  My original serial number does not work for the 30-day version; only my CD version.So, here’s the history:  This happened about 6 weeks ago (July 2024) I did all the usual things that tech support suggested but nothing worked.  In the process of using their CC clean up tool, multiple times, I managed to also uninstall Photoshop Premier Elements and now can’t get that to work properly either.  (When the purple editor screen loads it immediately closes then nothing happens).  I have also totally

If you're a nvidia gsync user and experiencing mouse stuttering in Ps (and all Adobe apps), try turning off gsync to see if that resolves the issue. Basically what happens is that any activity in an Adobe app will result in 2-3 seconds of micro-cursor stuttering (looks like frame rate dropping) and the occasional 3-4 seconds of cursor freeze. Disabling gsync fixes the issue. This behavior appears only in Adobe apps and none other.     {Thread title edited by moderator}

Photoshop 24.0.0 Windows 11 Pro 22H2 build 22621.675   After running Windows HDR Calibration which is reccomended in the display settings   It will save a profile and use it, for some peers it helped their displays greatly.   Photoshop is now displaying UI colors incorrectly.        The color white appears green in most cases, amoung other colors.    The actual image displays correctly after the profile is set. But the rest is broken. these are my settings.   If turning off HDR, and rebooting photoshop with the same settings fixes it. But for my own ease of use I keep HDR "on" on my PC for various reasons. Considering this is native functionality with windows at this point, it really needs to be fixed.   

A user could not understand why the blue Export button in the File > Export As... dialog was not mapped to the Enter key which was his choice over using the mouse.   I found out that to get that button to work with the Enter key, the user would have to use the Tab key to get to it. See what I did here to get that button to respond to "Enter" https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/export-button-not-mapped-to-enter-key-in-export-as-dialog/td-p/13655224 This is MacOS 12.6.3 and Photoshop 24.2.0   Other Photoshop settings dialogs have the Save or OK key highlighted and tied to the Enter key. The Export button does not and it seems like it should be. Jeff Arola reports that checkmarking Legacy Export in Export Preferences does restore the Enter key to Export, but M1/M2 users will need to use Rosetta.   Gene--

Hi guys,   I am using PS 2023 and I really don't want to update as I don't wany ANY of the AI tools etc. Anyway, when I load up PS my home screen is completely blank. I have tried every fix I can find and nothing is working and it's very very frustrating.    I have renamed the UXP, CEP and Extensions folders in all manner of orders and still nothing.   This is really annoying and seems like a problem I shouldn't have to deal with.    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Since today's update I am getting error pops in the other apps related to PhotoShop Startup Scripts (see screenshot)

Hi, I cannot download Neural Filter before and after Update 26.5. By click on the download button you see the download for one second, that's all. The download doesn't start.

Hello, I just updated to Photoshop 2024 but I cannot get it to work with GPU acceleration. When I start Photoshop, I get this error:    I am running a Windows 10 PC with two Nvidia RTX 3090 video cards and a 5950x CPU.    So far, I have tried: - Setting Photoshop and sniffer.exe to use my, uh, 'high performance 3090' as opposed to my 'power saving' 3090 (excellent work, Windows)   - Updated to the latest Nvidia studio drivers and installed all Windows 10 updates   - Removed 'sniffer.exe' from the Photoshop folder as suggested, causes Photoshop to not boot.  - Enabled "Older GPU Mode" in the Technology Previews, get same error so I disabled it again.  -  Tried setting the GPU in Nvidia Control Panel, but I don't have a "Preferred GPU" setting like a laptop or PC with integrated graphics.  - Disabled SLI - Uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop 2024 - Manually ran sniffer.exe, it sees the video cards just fine   Thanks for the

Just downloaded Photoshop 2024 today. When entering the Liquify filter, the mouse moves on its own, jumping all over the place. This makes the Liquify filter unusable. Anyone else seeing this?

Dear all, For a few months now I have issues using clone stamp.I take a sample using my ALT key and then clone it. However, when I put them next to eachother the cloned part is always lighter than the original. Before, it was the same color as sampled. Does anyone else experience this? And is there a solution?Thank you

Drop down pop up is UNDER the photo instead of behind it. I shouldn't have to move the photo to see the drop down box, right??   This problem is coming from Beta release, and ADOBE team did not fix it, insted now bring it to oficial release. See link below.https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-beta-bugs/p-ps-beta-v25-12-tool-menu-appear-behind-image/idc-p/14853842/page/2#M17493

I'm trying to measure 16 bit rgb values in an image (open in 16 bit mode). The two dynamic readouts at the top of the Info panel display 16 bit values. The first color sampler can be set to display 16 bit (by clicking on the sample's eyedropper in the info panel). However, the second sampler (and every suceeding one) have the bit depth choices greyed out. Anyone know why? See the image below showing greyed out bit depth choices for the second sampler. Photoshop 26.5.0, windows 11.

Seit dem letzten Photoshop Update auf Version 26.30 kann ich keine Animationen/Videos mehr direkt aus der Zeitleiste exportieren, da der Button (Pfeil) ausgegraut ist sondern muss über jetzt über Datei --> Exportieren --> Video rendern.  

Hi!

I'm not sure if this is a common issue. I use Photoshop on my iPad. I have used it for over two years to do all of my design work and it usually doesn't have any issues. Here recently (Since the last update), I have noticed some files disappearing. When I exit the file that I have been editing a message pops up in the corner saying the "file has been promoted to a new document". And then it disappears and I'm not able to find it anywhere on Photoshop. It's also not on my Creative Cloud.    Has anyone else experienced this and how can I fix this? It's annoying to work on a project and then exit the project only for it to disappear.    Please help!

Hello, I have scoured the forum and internet and cannot find a solution. FYI, following various online tips:I have reset my Preferences to defaultI have checked the "File Handling" area and ensured that saving to the cloud is the default, and I checked the file path to cloud doc local working directoryI am an Enterprise user, so I should have cloud access. PS version 25.12.0MacBook Pro Sonoma 14.6.1 Any ideas as to why this is not working on my Mac? Thanks in advance!Mary

System Details:Operating System: Windows 10 Home, Version 22H2 (Build 19045.5131)Photoshop Version: 26.0.0UXP Developer Tools Version: 2.0.2.3 I am writing to report a significant issue with Photoshop 2025 that renders it non-operative for WebAssembly-based plugin development. As a developer with newly acquired experience in Adobe UXP and significant investment in plugin creation, I must express my deep frustration regarding this problem. Description of the IssueI have developed a complex plugin where the core functional code is written in C++ and compiled to WebAssembly using Emscripten to run within the UXP environment. To verify the issue, I have also created a simplified plugin that reproduces the crash consistently. While the (simple) plugin loads successfully in UXP Developer Tools, and the application panel appears as expected, clicking the "Process" button in Photoshop 2025 causes the application to crash. This issue is specific to Photoshop 2025, as the same plu

The first time I used the ‘Remove Background’ feature in Photoshop, a pop-up window appeared saying ‘For detailed results, process Remove Background through the cloud.’ When I clicked ‘Try Cloud,’ it refined the background better than without cloud processing. Now, it doesn’t ask me anymore to remove the background through the cloud. How can I reactivate that function? Thanks in advance for your help!

I updated to MacOS 11.6.2 this morning, and now my photoshop Export As is showing blank fields and gives the error message "No valid Asset to Export." I've tried on multiple files which exported before. I'm using Photoshop 23.1.0. Note: I was able to set the Export Preferences to "Use Legacy Export As" and that is working.
