Bug Reports

The Smart Object icon overlays in the Layers panel are often clipped. Issue when using small thumbnails in the Layers panel, layer bounds vs document bounds or a wide and narrow document. It can be impossible to see if it's a linked or embedded smart object and difficult to double click to edit. Very obvious UXfix is to overlay the icon on the thumbnail rather than clipping it within the Layer Thumbnail.    1. Current UI - Smart Object icon invisible   2. Needed UI - Smart Object icon visible  

Hi, I have been having this issue for a while now...it's been an issue on Photoshop 2020 and now on 2021 as well. Bottoms of emojis are being cut off, I have tried changing the baseline shift and other Character settings but nothing seems to fix it. I am running the macOS Big Sur public beta (11.0.1) and Photoshop 22.0.0. From what I can tell a solution used to be turning on Legacy Compositing under Performance settings but it seems that option has been removed. I appreciate any help!

I keep running into render issues in the new PS 2020. Here's the most recent example. I loaded a large pano into the first tab then opened a PSD file into the second tab. This second tab should show me a couch and kitchen as indicated by the view in the layers, yet it's showing me the pano from the first tab. This has happened to me dozens of times in past few days. When I pull the tab out, it then renders the PSD correctly:Another issue was when I went to restart the computer and had a dozen files open in PS that weren't saved. PS 2020 just closed it all out and skipped the "Do you want to save?" dialog. Just trashed the file progress.

Hi, when I try to load an action pack Photoshop quits unexpectedly. Tks.

打算什么时候修复Photoshop 2021这些UI问题？Adobe。 请看我的截图，画板上很多UI元素模糊或者错位，全选选框右侧线条丢失，菜单栏上的文字居然不在一条线上！从Photoshop 2020开始就有了这些很明显的UI问题，现在更新到Photoshop 2021 22.5了依然不修复，这些开发者是看不见还是根本不在乎！作为一个专业的设计软件，这么明显的UI问题都看不见？你们在开玩笑？Photoshop是个很棒的软件，但这些年软件越来越大，越来越慢，还有这些明显的UI问题这么长时间了视而不见，到底在搞什么？   Google translate： Please look at my screenshot. Many UI elements on the drawing board are blurred or misplaced, the lines on the right side of the select all box are missing, and the text on the menu bar is not on the same line! Since Photoshop 2020, there have been these obvious UI problems, and now they are still not fixed after updating to Photoshop 2021 22.5. These developers can’t see it or don’t care at all! As a professional design software, you can't see such obvious UI problems? Are you kidding me? Photoshop is a great software, but the software has become bigger and slower in recent years, and these obvious UI problems have been ignored for so long. What are you doing?   Screenshot-full-size-1 Screenshot-ful

When a smart object is created, it gets the file reference property from the name of the top layer, which is then used to create a temporary file (when edited). If such a name contains characters that are not supported by the file system, then an error will occur when trying to edit a smart object, for example:       activeDocument.activeLayer.name = activeDocument.activeLayer.name +"\n" executeAction( stringIDToTypeID('newPlacedLayer'), undefined, DialogModes.NO ); executeAction( stringIDToTypeID('placedLayerEditContents'), undefined, DialogModes.NO ); //error       Please help, error when placedLayerEditContents.

Hello, I just noticed that the"Color Settings.csf" found in the preferences folder of the computer I'm facing (still running 22.4.3) is listed as "Color Settingscsf", without the period. and therefore without an extension... According to the help files, it should have the period in the name... I wonder if it works properly as is... the file properly updated, still without the period.   Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop [version]\Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings   Can anyone check if it is also the case on their machine? 

I thought I would make a comment about the Select Object and maybe it can filter back to the people who do marvelous things like that.  First of all, I want to let everyone know I am amazed at how the "AI system" does its thing!  But I have an image that doesn't do the norm.  The image is of an elk, and the "blue" silouette doesn't follow the "ants" selection - the blue outline is better!  I was wondering if I could get the "ants" to follow the blue outline?  (I am on a Windows 10 computer.)

Photoshop CC Version: 23.0.1 Operating System: Windows 10   I am a new user to Photoshop CC, but I have been using Photoshop CS6 and older versions over the course of 15 years.  A quality of life change that I noticed in CC is that whenever I use the type tool, it no longer allows me to move the text by dragging anywhere outside the editable area when the type tool is active.  There appears to be an invisible "bounding box" that only allows me to move the text within a specific region before the cursor reverts back to my OS cursor and immediately commits the text rather than letting me drag it around.  Additionally, when I click to place text and the line is blank, I have no option whatsoever to move the text unless one character is added.  This is incredibly frustrating to work with as the type tool has never behaved this way prior to CC and I don't understand why this functionality was changed.   Upon further research, I noticed optional extensions

Hello,   I just came across a bizarre Polish translation of the menu in the new Photoshop 23. In the Export as ... menu, we can choose the quality of the jpg file in which the graphics should be, we can choose 7 values. The last two are: - doskonała and świetna. Doskonała means perfect, świetna means great. There can't be something better than PERFECT i supouse. Anyway, We should can choose quality just as with old "Save as for internet". Especially when we need to save a file with a specific value in kb, and the difference between the grades to choose from is too significant.

Hi Team, when importing a layered PSD into InDesign (all software versions have been updated) the adjustment layers are not rendering correctly. Specifically, using a Black and White adjustment layer with a Gradient Map above. The preview shows the masked area as mono, yet when a composite layer is placed at the top of the stack it renders correctly in InDesign. Any ideas? Cheers, Mark

Hi,I have recently "upgraded" to Windows 11 and now I am having issues with the Photoshop UI. I am not sure if this is really Adobe's fault but since it's happening in the Software I'm posting here first.The issue is that on popup windows the mouse pointer is offset downwards. I have reinstalled Windows 11 on Friday because I heard upgrading instead of re-installing can cause issues but this did not resolve the issue (and neither my other Windows 11 issues).Here is a video explaining it a lot better than words could do: Photoshop:Version 23.0.3 OS:Edition Windows 11 HomeVersion 21H2OS build 22000.318Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.318.0Thank you for your help!

I was unable to open photoshop after I have perform the update today. It was constantly crashing. Please help.

I keep having an issue with white boxes obscuring portions of my files when I am zooming in and out or saving the image. It happens when I try to flatten the image, save as a PDF, or save as a JPG. Prior to updating to version 22, I had found a workaround to the issue by using the Legacy Compositing checkbox. However in this version, that option is no longer available and I cannot find any way to stop the boxes now. I am running on a Macmini using macOS Catalina. Someone please help!

We can manually access 3 Performance checkboxes (Accelerated, Step by Step, Pause for: / value) in 'Playback Options' from dropdown menu of 'Actions' Panel. There is no problem to set them by script. Unfortunately we can not read them:     sTT = stringIDToTypeID, ref = new ActionReference() ref.putProperty(sTT('property'), sTT('playbackOptions')) ref.putEnumerated(sTT('application'), sTT('ordinal'), sTT('targetEnum')) executeActionGet(ref)     The above codes gives error, but the similar one to read 'Add "copy" to Copied Layers and Groups' (which manually we access from 'Panel Options' of 'Layers' panel dropdown menu) works with no problem from first CC release (as in CS6 it didn't work yet):     sTT = stringIDToTypeID, ref = new ActionReference() ref.putProperty(sTT('property'), sTT('addCopyToLayerNames')) ref.putEnumerated(sTT('application'), sTT('ordinal'), sTT('targetEnum')) executeActionGet(ref).getBoolean(sTT('addCopyToLayerNames'))    

If a guide is ctrl/cmd-dragged while a transform is in process, the guide creation is not added to History. 1. Create new document 2. Use marquee tool to select an area of the canvas 3. Select Free Transform 4. Ctrl/cmd-drag a guide onto the canvas 5. Enter a rotation value 6. Apply the transform Result- transform is applied, new guide is added, guide creation not in history (see attached video) Windows 10 Pro, PS 22.5.3

After updating the photoshop in my mac pro, when I use the zoom in the trackpad it works with some delay, like if it was trying to make it "smooth" but it's actually really annoying. Anyone with the same problem?   {Moderator note: Edited the thread title, PS-63413}

v23 has brought a lot of problems so far on my Surface; first the touchscreen crashes, and now the difficulty accessing my own body of work. Why am I getting this error, and why only on my Surface?     I can download the file through the web interface as a PSD, and then open it and save it as a new Cloud Document, but that's obviouly not an ideal situation.The Cloud Docs all open on my Windows desktop without any problems. Both devices are running Windows 10 21H1, both are running Photoshop 23.0.1.Does anyone know what might cause this?

Hi, When I start to have multiple layers on a file Photoshop crashes when adding adjustment layer of making a free hand selection with lasso tool.  I tried all the workaround suggested on the help page, what can do now ?

After the update to Photoshop CC 2020 (now 21.1.2), there are problems with working on the Wacom tablet: elements (especially smart objects and layers grouped in group folders) jump back and forth when moving and cannot be placed precisely. This happens on several computers with different tablets. This does not happen with other programs (inkluding Photoshop 2019, Adobe Illustrator CC 2020, Indesign CC 2020, Open Office, operating system and including Photoshop 2019). The mouse is working proper.   View example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ws1k63n9epfcxfg/wacomspringen3beispiele.mp4?dl=0   I had called the Adobe support before and was finally referred to Wacom. After writing extensively with Wacom Support and performing various tests without success, I was referred back to Adobe (because the problem is only in Photoshop) and write with the Adobe support again – but without result. Now they send me to the forum.   My Setting (s):   x Wacom Intous 4 XL (PTK-1240)  

It is so annoying. For years this bug is not fixed in the German version: Tool tips can be enlarged with #. But in some Photoshop modules they are reduced in size (in Liquefy for example). This drives me crazy...

Say I have a RGB/8bit photoshop file, with one or more spot channels in it:   I make sure the visibility of those spot channel(s) is currently OFF ( by togling off each spot channels' eye icon ), and that only the RGB channels are currently selected and visible. I then create a new layer, and add a layer mask to it. I then select the new layer's RGB channel ( result: the RGB channel and its R, G, and B component channels are all selected and visible )  If I now select the new layer's 'layer mask', again, all the spot channels are made visible, AUTOMATICALLY.   Why is this happening?  The visibility of the spot channels was previously off; why does selecting a layer mask ( any layer mask of any layer, as a matter of fact ) makes all the spot channels visible?  This is really distracting and I can't think of a reason for this behavior.  I assume this is a bug.   Note: changing the solidity percentage of the spot channels to 0% doesn't preven

This checkbox has never worked as it should, but now it's more broken than ever.   It's supposed to do two things. In addition to the obvious, embedding the profile, it should also turn on the color managed view, using the system monitor profile to display the file correctly in the chosen document color space.   At the moment it doesn't use the monitor profile. People with standard monitors may not immediately notice this, but with a wide gamut monitor it becomes very obvious (oversaturated). It behaves like Save For Web with Preview set to "Monitor Color".   In the old Save For Web, there were two separate settings - an "embed profile"-box, and a rolldown for "Preview". Setting this rolldown to "use document profile" turned on the color managed view (and this still works reliably). It actually makes perfect sense to roll these two into one, so that's fine. But it doesn't work.   One more thing: Please make the "embed color profile"-box checked by default! Or at lea

Photoshop version:  22.5.1 and earlier OS: Mac OS Steps to reproduce: Make sure the file has a profile like sRGB and Save a file as PNG Close the file and open it you get the following warning: The RGB document “name of doc” has a file format that does not support embedded color profiles. Expected result: The profile would be saved like in Save for Web and using ExportActual result: Profiles are not saved and even removed when saving a PNG in Photoshop
