Bug Reports

this first started happening when I tried to reduce my image size and has continued to happen when I tried to duplicate a layer or create a smart object

I just updated my Photoshop 25.12.0 to the new 26.0 version on macOS 15. In every previous October release for as long as I can remember, like ALL of Creative Cloud, the old Adobe Photoshop 2024 folder would be left in place that contained brushes, actions, scripts, etc. that had been added to the previous version and then i could manually drag those over to the new Photoshop 2025 folder. However this release, the entire folder was removed. It doesn't put it in the trash its completely removed. I have a back up so I can go in and retreive what was wiped out but on my other machine I'm making backups of the plugins and presets before updating.  This happened for Illustrator as well (so will post this there as well). My After Effects however did retain the old folder so I could grab what was in there.  I'm marking this as a bug for now. 

Photoshop 26.1 Windows 19045.3324   Step 1: Open a test image Step 2: Make a small selection with the polyganal lasso tool. Step 3: Click Generative Fill, then click Generate   Expected result: The mask for the resulting Generative Fill layer should match the original selection   Actual result: The mask for the resulting Generative Fill layer expands to be larger than the original selection in an octagon shape with feathered edges.  

v25.11 and still the same problem!

Olá! Há alguns dias que estou enfrentando um grande problema no Photoshop: ele fecha abruptamente quando tento incorporar imagens PNG e JPG dentro de um arquivo PSD. Também fecha quando tento abrir esses tipos de imagens. Até a semana passada eu estava trabalhando normalmente, mas nessa semana comecei a apresentar problema. Já redefini as configurações, desativei as configurações da placa de vídeo, sai e entrei no Creative Cloud, desinstalei o Photoshop, fiz uma limpeza geral no computador, instalei novamente, e o problema continua. Alguém pode dar uma ajuda? Hello! For the past few days I've been facing a major problem with Photoshop: it closes abruptly when I try to embed PNG and JPG images into a PSD file. It also closes when I try to open these types of images. Until last week I was working normally, but this week it started to have problems. I've already reset the settings, disabled the video card settings, logged out and logged in to Creative Cloud, uninstalled Photoshop, cl

OS: Windows 11 Versions: All version of PS after 2022 (as far as I cant tell).   While the drawing/painting with the Brushes panel open, it will sometimes flicker to a white image. The brushes disappear, and this image is seen:   Reproduction: Make strokes with various brushes. (I'm using a Wacom tablet.) This seems to occur most when switching to a new brush. However it is somewhat random. You may have to try mulitple brushes for 2-3 minutes before it appears.  Sometimes it happens right away, while sometimes it is less frequent. 

The current "Export As" feature does not produce reduced-size PNGs as good as the previous, now legacy, "Export As" did. The old version produced indexed-looking PNGs without them actually being indexed, and it preserved full alpha transaprency, all while maintaining a smaller file size than the current version's output. Here is an example image I produced.Just a standard color gradient with a fading black gradient on the left (to produce more colors) and a transaprent mask on the right. Using the current Export As, this is what I get:Transaprency is 1-bit, eseentially cutting the image in half. There is also notable dithering and banding to the image from the indexing. File size is 41.3 KB. Using the legacy Export As, this is what I get:Still some dithering, but the color reduction algorithm generally produces better-looking results more closely matching the original. Also, full alpha transparency is supported, retaining the faded edge. File size is 36.3 KB.  

I had to roll back to 25.7 because export scaling at 3x looks horrendous in all later version. Here are my export settings and what it looks like in 26.2 comparted to 25.7.   Please fix this issue.

I am trying to create something and realized once I start typing something It locks me out of editing the text. If I write "-100" without spaces, I can go back and edit the minus to + or just simply delete the -BUT if I put a space between the - or + and the rest of the text, it will lock the - or + and I can ONLY edit the rest of the text. I can not change the - or +. It just stays there and no way to edit that or delete it.It can be any text after - or +it can be letters numbers. don't matter. But it's ok to write another symbol like @ then space and other letters. I can type %100. Then put a space: % 100. No issues so far. I can change the % to + like this keeping the space: + 100 and I can still edit the + symbol. as soon as I add an extra space it will again lock the + symbolAdobe Photoshop Version: 27.0.0 20251015.r.25 d1c1320 x64 (final, Release)

Just installed version 26.11 on Windows 10 and Photoshop is freezing on reading brushes, have already tried manually resetting the preferences, uninstalling version 26.11 and deleting the Adobe Photoshop 2025 folder from the appdata folder, reinstall version 26.11 same issue. Reverted back to version 26.10, and it's working fine.  

  Hi Guys Please tell me if I am missing something or if this is a bug in the new february update ? When using the refine edge tool I have started getting these square pixelated edges and this never used to happen. All of my settings are the same as i have always used.  all sliders set to 0 object aware selected not color aware decontaminate colours is not selected. im using apple M1 Max with 64GBmemory  Photoshop is current version and up to date as of today 8/3/22

As of the latest version of Photoshop (v24.4.1), the curves adjustment layer is very laggy and unresponsive -- especially when using a stylus. It's extremely frustrating. What happens is when I click to add a point on the 'graph' it's serverly delayed and doesn't add a point. Normally I can immedietly click and drag the point to where I need, but when I try this now nothing happens because it won't make the point. Then it finally makes the point and lags really far behind where I adjust it to be. Every time I try moving any points it's super laggy and terrible. It's not my computer either. I have a ridiculously good computer.   I've restarted Photoshop and my computer. No dice. This is a major issue and needs to be fixed.

I have created videos using Photoshop for the past 8 years or so (Windows 10). Never had any issues. Until today. First I noticed I could no longer render videos as the option Adobe Media Encoder is disabled in the render video dialog. Then I updated to version 25.11. Now even the option to add video layers is disabled (i wanted to add a new video layer from file). I can still add time lines via the motion view, but, when I try to render a video, the Adobe Media Encoder option is disabled like before. The last time I rendered a video was end of May. Then everything worked just fine. Why are those options no longer available?  

I keep gettting the following error when I launch Photoshop 2020 on a Windows 10 64bit machine   This Face Expression File is bad or corrupted   I assume it relates to the Default Face Expression Presets.p3f file, which a scan reveals to be OK. The application launches after I click OK but how can I get rid of the error?   I have reinstalled, tried the clean up tool and there has even been an update since it started but still it persists. Is there anywhere I can find a replacement file?   Thanks in advance   Steve    

In Photoshop version 27.0, I can't use ctrl+z in the color balance section and it doesn't work..

Photoshop version: 26.11.0 ("up to date" according to Creative Cloud app) System: macOS Tahoe 26.0.1   Steps to reproduce: Open a new document, make some edit, close the document (CMD+W). In the dialog that opens and asks if you want to save, don't save or cancel, try to use the tab key to switch to the discard option. It doesn't work. The only way to discard unsaved changes is to use the mouse.   Expected behavior: Tab key should switch between every available option in dialogs, so you can press spacebar to choose that option.   The same behavior is seen in other dialogs, such as when trying to do something that would cancel an open action (e.g. editing a text box). Tab key just removes focus from any option and it never comes back. Only escape key (cancel) and return (choose the default option) work.

In Photoshop 26.11 on Windows 11, the Depth Blur neural filter is broken. It refuses to do anything. It just puts up a message (at the top of the filter panel) saying the filter has been disabled due to an error.   I reverted to 26.10 and the filter works in that version.

Photoshop 2025 26.10 (and 26.11)macOS Sequoia 15.6.1 Steps to reproduce:1. Open any image2. Create a Curves adjustment layer (or open the Curves dialog box via ⌘+M)3. Tap anywhere to add an anchor point4. Click the input value5. Use the up / down keys on the keyboard to change the input value6. No response - You can still use the left / right keys to navigate through digits- 'Output' is unaffected  

1. Photoshop 23.3.1 (and older!) 2. Mac OS 12.3.1 (and older!)   3. The Setting for brush size is put to "usual", means the diameter of that temporary circle should be exactly the same as the brushstroke, independent of the selected hardness Due to a large monitor, a slightly enlarged view of the mouse pointer can be helpful to some users.Thanks to the Mac OS operating aids, you can customise this individually.   4. Now the size of the brushstroke and the diameter of that surrounded circle in Photoshop doesn't match any more. While the operating aids of Mac OS display a larger image of the mouse pointer in a fixed solution, the brushstroke in Photoshop is variable and proportional to the zoom factor of the picture. Unfortunatelly the OS operation aid zoom for the mouse pointer influences the diameter of that circle, too. In this case it ist not possible to adjust the position of the brushstroke exactly, that's a pitty.   5. The best would be, if you can set the Ps br

Since a few days, Photoshop freezes each time when using image --> adjustments --> Replace color. I'm on Windows 11. I tried on the PC of someone else, and got the same issue. Anyone else encountering this problem? Any suggestions how to fix it? 

MacOS Sequoia 15 Photoshop 2024 and Photoshop (Beta) Top menu not working after opening camera raw filter from Photoshop, making an edit and going back to Photoshop.  Steps to reproduceOpen an image in Photoshop, make edits as usual Select Filter > Camera Raw Filter Make an edit, like adding a VignetteClick OK to go back to imageClick on any item in the top menu - nothing is clickable Must force quit application and reopen for menu items to be clickable again  

The quality has dropped to an unusable level. Textures that were rendered beautifully in previous versions now sometimes appear smudged or as if painted in with a brush. There are far more nonsensical fills—like birds randomly appearing in hair or clothes, and extra hands in bizarre places when the image already has two! It’s like AI gone wrong. What happened to quality control? How does the AI actually get worse? This is beyond frustrating. To make things worse, the newest update deleted my older versions, even though the "delete older versions" checkbox was unchecked. It's incredibly frustrating to lose those versions without consent.
