Bug Reports

Hi, been using PS for over 25 years.After upgrading to the latest version of PS (27.4.0) it seems that Adobe is changing the dialog boxes on the Mac to look a bit more ugly and less "Mac like". Things like the dialog box font has changed to whatever smaller and ugly font Adobe is using in PS and not matching the Mac OS font as it has been for many years. It is just not a nice looking interface.Additionally in the new Apply Image dialog box (and others), it no longer remembers the previous values from when you last used that command, which was really useful and constant feature since PS 4.0. This even worked when you quit the program and restarted but now this is broken.Please lets retain useful functionality.

This issue is making me nuts! When I save a file I'm working on, if I have documents open in floating tabs, the one I just saved goes to the back of the screen and a random floating tab that I'm not even working on pops to the front of the file I AM working on. It's forcing me to reselect the file I was just working on and this is very frustrating since sometimes I'll accidently do something to the file that just popped up in front wihtout realizing it. This seems to be a bug, it's never happened before and there's nothing in the preferences that addresses this. Video attached.  (I need to work in floating tabs  since I'm often dragging and droppping from one file to another. Consolidating all my windows every time I need to save is not a realistic workflow for me. 

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. 

Just updated to latest version of Photoshop, version 27.0.0 on Windows. For some reason generative fill using either Gemini or Flux Kontext Pro is not working.    I make a selection In the contextual task bar I click on Generative Fill I select either Gemini or Flux I type a prompt (can literally be anything)   Photoshop shows the progress bar and it creates the Generative Fill layer. But at like 50/75% of progress the progress bar suddenly disappears and the generative fill layer also is gone. No errors, no crashes, just .. as if it never happened. Firefly generation works just fine. I have tried different images, from scratch, different prompts. It doesn't matter, the 3rd party generative options simply do not work for me. I have also installed the Photoshop beta just in case, and that has the same issue unfortunately.   What can be the cause? Is there some place where I can check logs for any possible errors?

When the detailed Layers panel is open, it sometimes obscures the image I’m working on. The usual 2-finger-drag gesture to move the image on the screen doesn’t work when the Layers panel is open. Workaround is to close the Layers panel, move the image with a 2-finger drag, and then reopen the Layers panel, which isn’t an ideal workflow. Thanks for listening.

After selecting download, the loading bar goes to 68% and doesn’t move anymore.  After pressing cancel, this message appears. 

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.        

The Content Credentials (beta) panel is not showing in the Window menu. I can still search for it in the search bar, and it points to the Window menu though.When I open the panel (via search), it displays the following error message:The help page documentation says that the preferences/settings for content credentials can be found alongside History in Settings/Preferences. However, there is no longer a content credentials option there.Was Content Credentials quietly killed off and there are just some breadcrumbs left or is this a bug?

 The newly added modern user interface does not preview when using “apply image”. It also does not save the last known state/settings of apply image like it has in the past. This means if you are doing multiple apply images you have to select your settings every single time which is a huge pain. Please fix this so preview works and last used state/settings is saved or keep this options in the preferences so I can turn off modern user interfaces. It’s great Adobe wants to modernize the UI. Just make sure it works the same as before. To replicate the issue: Step 1. Open an RGB image.Step 2. Duplicate Red channel and Green ChannelStep 3: Select duplicated green copy channelStep 4. Go to image - apply image and select these optionsLayer: mergedChannel: Red copyBlending Mode: AddOpacity 100%Check invert boxTurn on and off preview Issue: The image will not show the preview of what is being applied when checking and unchecking the box. Only hitting ok shows what apply image will do. I have GP

I’m on photoshop for web and tried to edit the brightness of the image. When I click and drag the slider, the slider starts to jump around randomly without me moving my cursor. Once it starts glitching, I’m not able to reset the brightness. I had to refresh the page for the issue to go away. I was able to replicate the issue multiple times in a row. 

When editing a text layer that has layer effects applied (specifically Gradient Overlay with “Align with Layer” enabled), intermittent rendering glitches occur. While modifying the text content, the entire layout may flicker.Steps to Reproduce: Place any background image on the canvas. A detailed image makes the glitches more visible compared to a solid color fill. Select any font and type some text. Interestingly, the appearance of the glitch depends on the chosen font. Apply a Gradient Overlay as a Layer Style to the text layer and enable the “Align with Layer” checkbox. Now try moving, scaling, or duplicating the text layer before double-clicking it to edit the text. 😅You will notice visual glitches. If no glitches appear, change the font and repeat step 4.

While using the Gradient Tool (PS 27.3.0) on a Layer Mask, Mode set to Multiply, this doesn't work properly now.The work around- I have to create a new Group of my layer then add a layer mask and set Gradient Mode to Normal in order to for this to work. This bug is new since I updated PS to 27.3.0

Dragging a photo from outside the window into an object frame in Photoshop will default to whatever the top layer aligns with the cursor rather than the layer that is currently selected. If two object frames are overlapping and I want to drag an image into the lower one, this will not work. If I attempt to drop an image into the 3x4 group frames, my image will instead be placed inside the 1x2 group frames that overlap. I cannot get my image into my desired frames without moving my 1x2 group beneath my 3x4 group.   

There’re a black layer on the web. So I cannot click anything on my photoshop screen

I noticed, that when I use a camera raw filter with masks on a smart object, the masks in this filter move when the document is cropped in photoshop.   1. Version of the app Adobe Photoshop Version: 23.5.0 20220809.r.669 0e07917 arm64   2. Platform an OS version OS: Mac OS 12.4.0 Architecture: Apple M1 Max, HybridCPU(8:2)   3. Basic steps to reproduce the problem  create document with object add camera raw filter to the smart object add masks ins camera raw leave camera raw use crop tool to enlarge image edit camera raw filter masks should have moved.    4. Expected result and actual result Results can be seen in the images below. I would expect the filters to stay where I placed them   The first two images show the initial image without cropping. As you see the skymask in the second image ends exactly at the tees  The second two images show the document after cropping. The image is extended towards the sky to reveal m

When I try to unmask on the mask layer using a white brush, nothing happens. However, masking with a black brush works perfectly. I am using PS on Ipad Pro 2020

​@Sameer K ...its happening again. My iPad updated and now photoshop is crashing again since yesterday. Please help!  

In the latest version of Photoshop, the Swatches panel has a much larger minimum height and can no longer be reduced as compactly as before.This limits workspace flexibility and forces the panel to occupy unnecessary vertical space, especially when working with multiple stacked panels. 

I have tried just about everything to get this to work. I am not sure when exactly it stopped working but I am guessing during one of the updates for some reason that got screwed up. It works on all my home computers and my work laptop but not my desktop.    I have unistalled and reinstalled, tried less up to date versions, turned on and off the screen recording for photoshop in my settings, restarted my computer, none of it has solved the problem. This is so frustrating and I haven't found anyone else having this issue besides people that forget to turn the screen recording button as I mentioned.   Also I should mention with all my other Adobe products that fuction works just fine. If I am missing something here please let me know because I need a solution to this madness.

Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.8.1 20250624.r.8 5e0d05d x64 Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit, Version 10 10.0.19045.5965   Steps to reproduce: - Record an action that creates an adjustment layer (Levels or Curves) and set it to non-default values. - Run the action. The recorded values are not applied.   Expected result: Photoshop should apply the values I recorded in the action Actual result: Photoshop does not apply the values I recorded in the action. The resulting adjustment layer stays at its default values.   Additional information: - This behavior works as expected on the earliest version of Photoshop I could test, which was Adobe Photoshop Version: 22.2.0 20210202.r.183 2021/02/02: a176e5849fa x64. - I am unable to upload a sample action as an attachment as it isn't allowed. - The 'Set current adjustment layer' step seems to work as expected for other adjustment layers, such as Exposure.

Since updating to Photoshop 27.3.1 shape layers have been behaving inconsistently. Running on Windows 11.I have multiple shape layers, all different colours, which I can manipulate fine individually. But, when I select multiple layers in the layers panel, all layers change to the colour of the lowest-most layer. This issue is inconsistent, sometimes layers behave as expected and other times they don’t.Also, some shape layers have text layers above them which are linked. If I move a shape layer, the text layer moves too as expected, but if I rotate the shape, the linked text doesn’t rotate.  I didn’t have either of these issues until I updated.Any help would be appreciated.

Photoshop crashes after launch start. I use this for work and have already lost out on a lot of wage because of this! I've tried all updates restarts, I have enough storage and latest iPad update too. Ive heard this happened before and took a few weeks to fix. All my clients work is on this so I can't afford to not be able to use it.    ipad 10.5 ios 17.7.10  

The message is 'sorry an error occurred' 'Photoshop has encountered a problem and needs to close'. It then closes down. I updated to the latest version and still happening. Nothing wrong with the files, I have opened them many times before. Using latest version 27 in Windows

I can't select more than one layer when using the shift or command keys. I've already tried resetting to factory settings, but I still can't select anything.

I'm really tired of complaing about Photoshop developers' lack of awareness of the way that the program is used by people working with video and animation, e.g. no simple support for alpha channels. Here's another one. I needed to bring a PNG sequence into Photoshop for some hand cleanup of transparency, and the easiest way to do this was to load similar frames into a stack.  I now simply want to spit them back out with EXACTLY the same names the layers have, since those were the original frame names. It seems that with Export > Save Layers to File this is not possible. The tool insists on a prefix, first of all, even when the box is left empty it will prefix with a frame number starting at 0000 even though my layers all have unique names (including containing their original correct frame number). AND, the tool then also suffixes the output frame names with the file format, even though my layers also contain the PNG extension already as well.&
