Bug Reports

Desktop application. Photoshop v27.11.  Was working fine yesterday.  Did a creative cloud update this morning.  Now the desktop app will not open.  Running Windows 11.  “Photoshop.exe - application  error.  This application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142).

Hi!Every time there’s an update something stops working. I have a consistent problem with the ‘Save for web’ feature on Mac. Yesterday it was working great, now I keep getting this error message:Save for Web error: Could not complete this operation. A write permissions error has occurredIs there an easy fix? I tried everything, giving full disk access permission, checking for PS updates, pause cloud sync, Terminal…Tahoe Version 26.7.1 (25G241)

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?

In the new AI Toolbar the option to improve the edge was introtuced.I guess in enlglish it says “enhance edge”. In German it was translated to “Kante hervorheben”.This is not the right meaning and actually says the opposite. It means its more visible.The correct translation of improve is “Kante verbessern”

The bounding box of the transform tool is in the wrong location and not properly scaled when used on warped text. It does snap back to correct scale and location when a corner of it is selected but reverts once the transform is deselected again.Photoshop version is 27.5Off center and wrong scale bounding box on warped text 

Since a short period I have the an ‘unwanted’ effect in Photoshop.When an image is on screen,  I regularly want to adjust the image borders (I mean the borders of the screen that holds the image) to reduce that screen with the image. During this action, the image itself also gets temporarily smaller and afterwards retakes its original size on screen. I’m losing time with this effect and it is also disturbing.I would like to know how this effect can be switched off.Adobe Virtual Assistant suggests I should deselect the Resize Windows To Fit option, or that I should deselect the Zoom Resizes Windows option, but this doesn’t work.So which Photoshop option would control this effect?

ACR 18.6  / Mac Studio Tahoe 26.7Trim and generative expand applied to image. Additional edits caused them to vanish.Edits such as profile change and glow each reversed the Crop & Expand edits.

View > Flip Horizontal now flips not only your canvas, but the entire photoshop viewport, causing my canvas to jump a huge distance when I use it (unless my canvas is lined up perfectly in the middle of the screen, which it almost never is).   I was forced to spend my morning un-installing and re-installing older versions to try to find the working version I had been sitting on for a long time (22.4.3) which has the correct functionality for View > Flip Horizontal -- the canvas flips visually in place, without jumping across the screen.   Please, PLEASE fix it. I am paying for an expensive Photoshop subscription and I'd like to use new features, but I can't when necessary functionality is broken in new updates.

# Generative Remove runs on the CPU instead of the GPU since version 27.9.1**Issue summary**Since updating to Photoshop 27.9.1, the Remove tool in Generative mode loads about 6 GB of data into the graphics card memory, then performs the actual work on the processor instead of the graphics card. The graphics card stays at idle power for the whole operation. A removal that used to complete quickly now takes several minutes.**Product and version**Photoshop desktop version 27.9.1 (build 20260803.r.1 65900e1)**Last version where it worked correctly**Photoshop 27.8.0 (build 20260610.r.13 4081857).

I reinstalled the previous version from the Creative Cloud app and that still works.Event Viewer shows the following:Error      2026-10-04 12:17:14        Application Error              1000       (100)Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 27.10.0.26, time stamp: 0x6a8ca25fFaulting module name: Photoshop.exe, version: 27.10.0.26, time stamp: 0x6a8ca25fException code: 0xc000001d  

Issue: Photoshop 27.10 becomes extremely slow during normal use, especially when brushingPhotoshop version: Photoshop 27.10 OS: macOS Tahoe 26.5 Mac: MacBook Pro 14-inch, Apple M4 Pro, 48 GB RAMSteps to reproduceOpen a project with multiple layers and adjustment layers. Work normally and use the Brush tool. After working with several layers, Photoshop becomes progressively slower. The Brush becomes extremely slow and delayed. When editing the mask of an adjustment layer, other masked adjustment layers blink in and out.Expected resultPhotoshop should remain responsive during normal editing, with normal Brush performance and stable adjustment-layer rendering.Actual resultPhotoshop becomes very slow overall after working with several layers. The Brush becomes particularly slow and delayed.Masked adjustment layers also blink in and out while editing another adjustment-layer mask.The MacBook becomes noticeably hotter while this is happening.Additional informationThe Brush issue was first no

After upgrading to 27.10 the crop with Generative Expand co longer works. If I select a crop and go beyond the image, even tough I have Generative Expand selected on the toolabar the new area is rendered transparent.  If I then subsequently just select the area ans use Generative Fill, that works - but I shouldnt have to !!!  Can we expact a fix anytime soon ??? I’ put a little pic below - I would post a little video but not sure how to upload it to hereBTW can we please have the ‘check mark’ and  the ‘discard’ icons back on the crop toolbar - its a right pain putting down the mouse/stylus and having to press ENTER or ESC when before we could just do s imple click to confirm or discard. 

The Sky Replacement tool on my Windows 11 (25H2) PC was working perfectly up until I update Photoshop to version 27.10 .0 three days ago.Selecting Sky Replacement in the Editor (Edit » Sky Replacement) is OK and all my skies appear.When I select a sky, I find all of the sliders and functions, except Brightness function perfectly.The Brightness slider can be moved to both extremes, but no change in Brightness materializes. I have performed a clean instal of Photoshop, without effect (Uninstalled PS with Revo Pro Uninstaller, and thereafter deleted every Adobe folder I could find).Even performed a clean reinstall of the Windows operating system.Finally, I restored my system, from a Macrium Reflect X to a state prior to the Photoshop to version 27.10 .0 update. Low and behold - the Brightness for Sky Replacement works.It looks like a Bug, to me.Appreciate any comments/adviceBrian 

Importeren en openen van C3 raw image vanaf Canon R6 mark III werkt niet in Photoshop voor ipad (7.8.2). Krijg melding dat er een probleem is opgetreden met de module interface. C3 raw images afkomstig van Canon R5 doen dat wel.In Lightroom voor ipad werkt alles naar behoren….ook voor de Canon R6 Mark III. 

When using the “Remove” tool in Photoshop 2026 (27.8.0) on Windows laptop I receive “Tool is not responding - check internet and try again later” error.  Internet is perfectly fine however it does this about 10mins and then works for a bit.

After the latest update, Photoshop (27.1 /win 11) started showing a very unpleasant bug.As soon as I open a PSD file, without doing anything (just by selecting a few layers), the fill content of several "fill layers" changes automatically.This happens with simple "Shape layers", rectangles.See my history state without doing anything elese but selecting a few layers in the freshly opened PSD:   For example, a layer that originally had a black fill suddenly has a gradient applied. In another layer with a gradient, the orientation gets flipped by 180 degrees.It may seem random, but I suspect the "shape layer fill" is automatically set according to the first selected layer in a row! In any case, it completely ruins the opened document. I can re‑set the layers, but the same thing happens again the next time I open it.   It’s extremely frustrating — basically, it makes the program unusable! I might try downgrading to a lower version to see if that helps. Please fix this serious issue ASAP.

Photoshop Version 25.11.00Windows 11 ProVersion 23H2OS build 22631.4037My library panel continuously resets to the front panel (not my library) and I keep running into a prompt to add libraries to my adobe apps, followed by a pop tutorial that doesn't obey the "skip" command. But my libraries are already defined as well as my workspace. It's hard to say what causes it or when, it just seems to happen often and randomly. Instead of showing the color palettes of "my library", it defaults to the previous screen showing all libraries and presents this popup for "add libraries". Attached is a screenshot of the panel that pops up. After clicking done, it goes into another 3 step popup that will not skip unless clicked 2x or more.This seems to be a bug, but is there a workaround? How to stop this?   [Mod: Moved to the bug section of the Photoshop forum]  

Photoshop version:Photoshop 27.10.0Operating system:macOSSteps to reproduce:Launch Photoshop with the Home screen enabled. Open a document by clicking its thumbnail under Recent Files on the Home screen. Do not click anywhere in the document and do not press any other keys. Press the Command (⌘) key. The currently selected layer's opacity immediately changes from 100% to 50%.Expected result:Pressing the Command key by itself should not alter the document or layer opacity.Actual result:The selected layer's opacity changes from 100% to exactly 50%.Additional information / workaround:The issue only occurs when the document is opened by clicking a Recent File thumbnail on the Photoshop Home screen.I have confirmed that:File → Open does NOT reproduce the problem. File → Open Recent does NOT reproduce the problem. Pressing Esc after opening the document and before pressing Command prevents the problem. Clicking anywhere with the mouse after opening the document and before pressing Command al

I’m using Edit-Stroke function, but in latest updates there is a bug that doesnt stroke with right selected color.I set stroke width, then I set stroke color, then I hit OK, but stroke has color that was prevously selected before change. Then I have to go one step back and try to Stroke again, then it usualy works well.

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

@Sameer K, I tested this again just now and noted the steps (Windows 11 Pro; Photoshop 27.8 Release).Launch Photoshop from the Creative Cloud Desktop app.Open TIFF file.Image > Canvas Size. Dialogue opens in Pixels.Change to Inches.Click OK.Close TIFF file.Open JPG file.Image > Canvas Size.Dialogue opens in Pixels.Change to Inches.ADD a width of .25 Inches.Click OK.Canvas is extended correctly, but I want to add more.Image > Canvas Size.Dialogue opens in Pixels.Change to Inches.Click OK.Rinse and repeat ad infinitum!

Ich habe tagelang gesucht und am Ende etwas gefunden, das ich hieraufschreibe, um euch vielleicht viel Zeit, Stress und ärger zu ersparen.  ## 1. Das Symptom Lightroom Classic und Photoshop starten ganz normal, aber die Grafikkartewird nicht genutzt. In den Einstellungen (Bearbeiten → Voreinstellungen → Camera Raw → Leistung) steht, dass keine GPU verfügbar ist.Entrauschen dauert länger als es sollte, die KI-Funktionen sind lahm. Dabei ist der Rechner völlig in Ordnung: Spiele laufen flüssig, der Browsernutzt die Grafikkarte, alles andere funktioniert. Nur Adobe nicht. Bei mir: Notebook mit NVIDIA RTX 4070 und Intel-Grafik, Windows 11, 16GB Ram. Also kein High-End Gerät aber mehr als fähig für die Grafikbeschleunigung... ## 2. Alle Standardempfehlungen — ohne jede Wirkung Ich habe wirklich alles durchprobiert, was man dazu im Netz findet: - GPU-Einstellungen in Camera Raw zurückgesetzt- Den GPU-Ordner von Camera Raw gelöscht (mehrfach)- Voreinstellungen von Lightroom und Photoshop zurü

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.

VERSION: 27.5.0: While creating in Photoshop, if I hit CTRL + Z, it then reverts my artboard to a random save point. When I hit CTRL + Z + SHIFT, it as no effect. Essentially I can’t undo anything without starting over to a random point of my design.
