Bug Reports

When opening photoshop since the newest update I am getting an error message for my actions saying that they cannot be loaded due to an end of error. So then I have to do the work around and pull my actions from my previous 2025 roaming files on my computer. This same issue was happening the update before the last one as well and then it was fixed in the update between this newest one and that past one. It’s really inconvenient to have to go through all of those files and to recreate actions that I keep losing because I did not have them in 2025. This is an ongoing issue with new updates and going into our busy season for photography it is not helping at all. 

can't move photos from Lightroom to photoshop to merge as layers

Nano Banana is ALL bug. Why not generate results with a watermark and we can decide if it's usable?MOST of the ime the results from Nano Banana are worthless yet we still have to pay for it. [cursing removed]

Since today’s Photoshop 27.10 update, the “Edit in Photoshop” command in Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 is not working anymore for me. Photoshop opens automatically as before (if it’s not open yet) but no image is being loaded. Downgrading Photoshop to 27.9.1 resolves the issue and the “Edit in Photoshop” functionality is back to normal. I also tried to change the external editing file format from TIFF to PSD or PSB but this didn’t make any difference. Anyone else facing the same issue? I’m running macOS Tahoe 26.6.2. Closing and re-opening LRC and PS didn’t solve the problem, rebooting the machine also didn’t show any effect. P.S.: I posted this in the Photoshop forum as well

Since updating past 27.3.1, dragging a point in a Curves adjustment (in theProperties panel or with the on-canvas targeted adjustment tool) is extremelylaggy: the preview takes seconds to react, or often doesn't update at alluntil I release the mouse.- Last working version: 27.3.1- First broken version: 27.4- Still broken in: 27.11- Photoshop 2025 (26.x) on the same machine: smoothSteps to reproduce:1. File > New, 2000x2000 px, 8-bit RGB2. Add a Curves adjustment layer3. Drag a curve point continuouslyBut it does with any single photo I throw at it. Expected: live preview while dragging (as in 27.3.1)Actual: seconds of lag / no update until mouse release, either orAlready ruled out:- Happens on a small, simple 8-bit document (not file-related)- Same with GPU enabled and disabled- Same with fresh preferences (settings folder removed)- Same with third-party plug-ins disabled- Same on both monitors (4K @150% and 1920x1200 @100%)- Windows Auto Color Management / HDR offObservation: whil

Hello Adobe Team, I am experiencing a critical crash issue in the recent Photoshop update. Photoshop shuts down immediately without any error message when I try to group layers. [Steps to Reproduce]1. Select any layer (especially ones with default or localized names).2. Duplicate the layer using 'Ctrl + J' (which automatically adds a suffix like 'copy' or localized text like '의 복사' in Korean).3. Select both the original and duplicated layers.4. Press 'Ctrl + G' to group them.5. Photoshop crashes and closes instantly. [Expected Result] The layers should be grouped into 'Group 1' normally without any performance drops. [Actual Result] Immediate application crash/shutdown. [Temporary Workaround Found] If I go to Layer Panel Options and uncheck "Add 'copy' to Copied Layers and Groups", the crash no longer occurs. This highly suggests a severe bug or memory leak related to the layer text encoding/indexing engine when handling duplicated layer suffixes. Please look into this layer auto-namin

I am a professional photographer and this issue is seriously affecting my daily work in Photoshop.The problem occurred in Photoshop 27.10 and is still present in Photoshop 27.11.Problem:During active image adjustments, Photoshop displays a dramatically incorrect brightness/tonal appearance. Only after I release the mouse button does the image return to the correct rendering.A very clear example is a Levels adjustment layer:Create or select a Levels adjustment layer. Move one of the sliders. While the slider is being moved, the entire image becomes significantly brighter or darker than the actual adjustment. As soon as the mouse button is released, Photoshop displays the correct result.The problem is not limited to Levels. I also experience similar brightness shifts while retouching, for example when using the Clone Stamp tool.This is reproducible and makes accurate visual image editing extremely difficult, because Photoshop does not show the actual result while an adjustment is being m

Out of all the Photoshop updates, this is the first time I've encountered this problem. Version 27.11 keeps crashing whenever I try to save a project. Nothing happens for at least 2–3 seconds, then a crash report window appears. When I close it, Photoshop simply shuts down.I've already tried restarting the PC, but nothing changes.I even tried installing it on a virtual machine just to see. Naturally, it works. But the VM doesn't have a GPU; it runs on a basic virtualized Microsoft graphics adapter within VMware. I even copied the entire installed Photoshop folder from the root directory over to the physical machine, but nothing changed. It still crashes the moment I try to save.The only solution that worked for me was reverting to the previous version, 27.10.0.26. Now, everything seems to be working properly again.Version 27.11 was simply unusable for me. It’s a shame, because aside from that major, highly disruptive bug, the version seemed better optimized and much more responsive whe

The "Remove Area" tool isn't working.When I make a point-to-point selection and click "Remove Area" with AI turned off, the program freezes; it just hangs there and then displays a "program error" message. It happens every time. It used to happen only occasionally, but now it doesn't work at all. The other tools work perfectly!

WebP is missing from the available formats.6. Return to the customization dialog and click Restore Defaults.7. WebP becomes available again.Expected result: WebP should remain available when enabled in the customized format list.Actual result: WebP disappears with customized settings and reappears after restoring defaults.Environment:- MacBook Pro M4 Pro- RGB Color, 8 Bits/Channel- Document dimensions: 1200 x 900 pxWorkaround: Restore Defaults restores WebP availability. 

I’m running Mac OS Golden Gate and Photoshop 27.11.0 (though the same issue occurs when using the latest Photoshop beta).The Filter menu will become inactive at random times. The menu item appears slightly darker than the rest of the menus (which work fine), but clicking on the Filter menu does not result in getting a drop-down. The options aren’t greyed out. They simply don’t appear at all. This may be an Mac OS issue, since the problem began when I installed Golden Gate.The problem doesn’t result in losing work. All other menus drop down properly, I can save what I’m working on, quit Photoshop, restart it, and the Filter menu works fine again. I can’t determine if a specific action causes the problem, but I do access the Camera Raw filter regularly, so that’s when I discover the menu stopped working.

I noticed that with the arrival of the new update for 2024, the pen pressure has stopped working and even in general the program is quite laggy, when you make a stroke or use the lasso tool for a short period of time it freezes and does not let you continue, hindering the workflow, I am using a Huion Kamvas 13 and the pen pressure works with any other program like Clip Studio, Krita even works in Illustrator.But I can't get it to work again in Photoshop.Searching for solutions in forums and videos I HAVE TRIED THE FOLLOWING METHODS: -Have the pen pressure checkbox active in the brush settings.-Verify that the Window Ink checkbox is active from the Huion driver.-Even try with the famous text file "# Use WinTab UseSystemStylus 0". None of this has solved my problem, I honestly can't say in which update specifically I noticed this error, but I know it was from this year's update. I am a bit frustrated as I have not been able to work properly and I need to resolve it. Thanks  

Hi everyone, I would like to report this explicitly as a bug report, and I kindly ask that it not be converted into a question. The behavior is reproducible in my setup and, from my point of view, affects WinTab support in Photoshop 27.6. After updating to Photoshop 27.6, WinTab still no longer works reliably. I need WinTab because pen input is much smoother and more precise with it, especially when working with sliders, numeric input fields, and Photoshop UI controls in general. Reproducible behavior With WinTab enabled, Photoshop 27.6 freezes as soon as I move the brush size slider. Important detail:The freeze happens even when I move the slider with the mouse, not with the Wacom pen.To me, this strongly suggests that this is not simply a Wacom pen issue, but a problem in Photoshop’s WinTab handling itself. Test results in Photoshop 27.6 WinTab enabledopened a new test document selected the Brush tool moved the brush size slider using only the mouse Photoshop freezes immediately afte

I use the shadow/highlights adjustment a lot, but the live preview is no longer functions correctly (since 27.11 update). It will not display the shadow & highlight adjustments until I click “OK” button to apply adjustments. I did just discover that if I press the control key after opening the adjustment window, that it corrects the preview. But that seems like a bug, since it didn’t require pressing control key before.

This problem is here for 10 years.The combo Art pen 1 + cintiq 27QHD works, but art pen 1 combined with 2016 or newer Wacom tablet, not.I’ve just updated my art pen from the new one : Art pen 2. I bought a new cintiq (24 touch). And this is what happens in photoshop. CSP is almost fine, while a tiny little 17$ app makes the job perfectly… Please fixed this. I read a user reporting this like 6 years ago. 6 . YEARSLots of people are complaining on reddit about this.

Environment: OS: Windows 11 64-bit CPU: Intel Core i7-14700K GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Photoshop Version: 27.10 Driver: NVIDIA Studio Driver Issue Description: Immediately after updating to Photoshop v27.10, severe UI and canvas rendering issues began occurring during normal editing. The symptoms include: Rapid flickering where UI elements and the canvas temporarily disappear and instantly reappear (no black or white flashes). When navigating menus (e.g., Preferences), the text briefly vanishes and comes back. While editing, the active photo disappears from the canvas and instantly reappears. The flickering happens extremely fast, rendering the application completely unusable for daily work. This issue is isolated to Photoshop and does not occur in other applications. Troubleshooting Steps Executed: Verified the monitor is connected directly to the NVIDIA GPU, bypassing the Intel iGPU. Forced High Performance GPU assignment for photoshop.exe via Windows 11 G

Just noticed this bug when resizing the Shape window in the options bar Photoshop version 23.0 Windows 10 GPU RTX2600 Super, latest studio driver installed CPU i9 11900k RAM 64GB DDR4 Tested with deactivate native canvas on and off, same result Seems to be the same in version 22.5.2

After updating to the latest version of Photoshop, we encountered an issue where images saved from Facebook from the previous year display color distortions when opened in the program. However, images saved recently from Facebook open without any issues and display correctly.        

For those of you who use the search layers function in photoshop often, have you been having an issue with it over the last few months? Every time I start to type something now, it loses focus as if I’ve clicked out of the text box, but I haven’t. I can get 1 letter, maybe 2, before the focus is no longer in the text box. Is this happening to other people or am I doing something wrong.   Using my Macbook pro and photoshop v 25.12.4

Hi,Sometimes, but quite often, when using a Curves adjustment as a smart adjustment on a Smart Object, after I create the first point and start dragging, the curve freezes and can’t be moved any further. The only workaround is to select the point and move it with the keyboard arrows.Sometimes, any further action on the selected Smart Object layer produces the following error:“Could not update smart object files because of a program error (2a135c.901).”Sometimes the error persists after a restart, sometimes not.Please fix!This bug is in addition to the flickering of the image while adjusting (when the Curves do work).  

Photoshop crashes on resume from sleep when network connectivity is enabledSummaryPhotoshop consistently/regularly crashes when Windows 11 resumes from sleep, but only when network connectivity is enabled.The crash occurs even before logging back into Windows in some cases. Photoshop is otherwise stable during normal use and does not crash during ordinary network activity.I have traced a crash dump with WinDbg. The crash is a C++ exception originating in Photoshop's bundled msvcp140.dll, and the call stack shows Photoshop interacting with the Windows Network List Manager (netprofm) through COM/RPC during a network connectivity-change notification.This strongly suggests a Photoshop bug in handling Windows network interface/connectivity notifications during or immediately after resume.ReproductionStart Windows 11 normally with Photoshop running. Put the PC to sleep. Wake the PC. Photoshop crashes during/after the network interfaces transition back to their connected state.The behaviour i

When launching Photoshop the following error appears on screen:“could not apply the saved panel configuration, resetting to default”After the application starts up, workspace can be restored back to the saved preferred layout and everything function correctly. This started with 27.1 and has continued in to 27.3There was also already a thread on here where Adobe said it was being looked in to and myself and others had submitted error logs to show where it appeared to flagging the error. After the community change here, that previous bug report has disappeared from the link resolving there or finding it via search so adding a new till it gets addressed.  

I’m in LRC library, I click on the photo I want to open in PS and I do COMMAND + E.  PS opens but the photo doesn’t appear in PS.
