The AI ​​repair brush is not working in version 27.4. An error message appears when I set it to AI ON. When AI is set to AI AUTO, a pattern appears where the brush is supposed to repair.

Please fix this bug.

    My remove tool generates what I am trying to remove! I select the object, in this case it’s circles on some dice. I want to remove the circles (turning 5 into 3 dots) and ai just generates the exact dots I'm trying to remove. wtf

    Hi

    How are you?

    I think it’s the way you using it

    because this thred talking about realy now working at all

    not about genertatin things that we didn’t want

    mayby try to expand the selction?

    or use the AI to selecet the dots then remove then then ginfere fill

    or if you dont want the pc to remeber the dots

    save the pgoto as png witout the dots as transperent

    then reset photshop and open only the png

    then try to genereate fill that area

    Same issue though. Remove tool is generating things or leaving artifacts, it’s along the same lines. And unfortunately everything I’ve tried is not just purely ‘removing’ the item, as it used to work. Now it’s decided to generate instead of remove. I can’t find another thread that talks about this so I brought it here

    Hi Roger,

    It's a bug in v27.5.

    Try this:

    1. Close Photoshop.

    2. Go to: %localappdata%\Adobe\Photoshop\

    3. Rename EBWebView to EBWebView_old.

    4. Restart.

    This resets the AI components. If your Windows username has special characters, that might also be the cause.

    Best

     

    It could be EBWebView premission

    See if you have strange user name in C:\users

    Or try to open photshop with shift key

    Hi Hipop

    Thanks for your reply
    I can't find a file with the name EBWebView in the directory %localappdata%\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2025\
    Starting open photshop with shift key didn't help either

    I’m facing the same issue in 27.4 — the Remove Tool with GenAI on is giving errors and leaving artifacts. Seems like a bug in this update because rolling back to 27.3 fixed it for me.

    Also noticed similar instability with other AI tools after the update. Hopefully Adobe patches it soon.

    By the way, while working on some visual concepts (like interior edits), I came across some nice inspiration for curtains dubai that helped with reference ideas.

    I go to Help -> System Info and see a Temporary file path: USER~1C:\Users\32E7~1\AppData\Local\Temp\
    What should I do? I don't understand computers) In the third method of correction, in the line: start "" "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Photoshop.exe", I'm confused by "Photoshop (Beta)". Should I really copy this line without any changes?

    Since this issue is (temporarily) fixed through the linking in cmd, I can’t use generative fill:

    However the Remove feature is still working - which still uses Generative fill…

    I have tried in both the latest and previous stable and beta versions.

    Do you happen to have an idea how to fix this? Very frustrating that I have to “choose” whether I want to use Remove tool or Generative fill, since when I fix one, the other won’t work… 😞

    Hi,

    Did you try to reset your PC?

    That’s what the AI think:
     

    Hi @pasztor.laszlo! If the restart doesn't work, here are 3 other 'hidden' reasons why that brown error message appears:

    1️⃣ Account Age: Check your Adobe ID profile on Adobe.com. If your birth date is missing or set under 18, Generative AI is automatically disabled.
    2️⃣ CC App Update: Open your Creative Cloud Desktop app and make sure it is updated to the latest version. Sometimes a version mismatch between the CC app and Photoshop 27.5 causes this block.
    3️⃣ Sign Out/In: Try signing out of the Creative Cloud app entirely, wait a minute, and sign back in. This refreshes your 'token' with the Adobe servers and often fixes the 'Not available' bug.

    (Note: I am analyzing these possibilities with Google Gemini AI. These are the most common non-path related triggers for this specific error! 🤖✨)

    Try these one by one and let us know. We won't stop until both tools work for you! 🚀🎨

    Hi ​@alberto migones! (¡Hola Alberto!) It sounds like your Photoshop AI engine is completely blocked from accessing its models. 🛠️

    (Note: I am analyzing this with Google Gemini AI. When 'Select Sky' and 'Remove Tool' both fail, it’s usually because Photoshop 2026 (v27.x) cannot read your Windows User Path due to special characters or accents! 🤖✨)

    Before we go deeper, please check these 2 quick things:

    1️⃣ The 'Shift' Test: Close Photoshop. Hold the SHIFT key and launch it again. Click 'Yes' to skip third-party plugins. Does it work now? 2️⃣ The Folder Check: Go to C:\Users. Do you see a folder with strange symbols or 'gibberish' names (like á) next to your real folder?

    If you see a corrupted folder name, we have a proven fix (the mklink bridge) that worked for users in France, Germany, and Hungary today!

    Please post a screenshot of your C:\Users folder and we will help you fix it in 1 minute. ¡Estamos aquí para ayudar

    Similar issue on Photoshop 27.5 (Windows 10/11, RTX 3060, 32GB RAM). Remove Tool fails consistently with “Can’t complete request / check internet connection.”
    Works correctly in 26.11.4 on the same system. Appears to be a regression needing attention by the engineers.

    Hi ​@RichardN777! Thank you for sharing your specs and the version details. 🛠️

    Even though your error mentions 'Internet Connection', it is highly likely the exact same Path/Encoding bug we are discussing here. When Photoshop 2026 (v27.x) cannot reach the local AI models due to a corrupted Windows path, it often defaults to this misleading error message.

    (Note: I am using Google Gemini AI to help analyze these patterns across different languages and regions. 🤖✨)

    Before you downgrade, please try these 2 quick tests:

    1️⃣ The 'Shift' Test (Isolation): Close Photoshop. Hold the Shift key and launch it again. Click 'Yes' to skip third-party plugins.

    • If the Remove Tool works now: One of your plugins is causing the conflict.

    • If it still fails: It's almost certainly the Path/Encoding bug we've been solving today.

    2️⃣ The Folder Hunt: Go to C:\Users. Do you see a folder with a strange, corrupted name or symbols next to your real username folder? If you see one, Photoshop is looking for its models in that 'ghost' folder and failing.

    We have successfully fixed this for several users today (from France to Hungary) using the Symbolic Link (mklink) method. If you find a weird folder name, post a screenshot here and we can help you fix it in 1 minute! 🚀🎨

    Thank you so much for taking the time to help solve the issue. I'll be taking your advice - it could well be a plugin incompatibility.

    Habe heute auch ein Update auf 27.5 gemacht. Das Problem blieb bestehen. Dann den Umleitungspfad in der cmd.exe gemacht, da mein Name ein Ö enthält. Wieder nichts. 

    Dann habe ich den kryptischen Ordner verschoben. Klappt immer noch nicht. Habe dann wieder die 27.3.1 installiert. Der kryptische Ordner hat sich nicht wieder gebildet, aber es klappt.

    Adobe hat irgendwas in den Einstellungen verändert. Wäre echt schön, wenn Adobe das fixen würde und man nicht als User versuchen muss das selber irgendwie wieder geradezubiegen.

    Ist das dann hier mein Problem? 

     

     

    Wäre das dann hier

    Behebung 3: Der System-Info \"Tilde\" (~) Fehler (Fejesjanis .bat-Lösung)

    die Lösung oder kann ich hoffen das Adobe das auch Fixen wird? Es kann doch nicht sein das man als User dann eine selbst definierte „Bastellösung“ erstellen muss, damit Photoshop richtig arbeitet. Wie gesagt, 27.3.1 läuft ohne Probleme.

    Lorsque je veux sélectionner quelque chose avec l'outil sélection d'objets de Photoshop 2026 mis à jour, je reçois le message d'erreur suivant :

    Les objets sélectionnables ne s’éclairent plus en rose.

    Ce problème n'est pas présent sur Photoshop 2025 où cela fonctionne parfaitement.

    J'ai réinstallé Photoshop 2026 et désactivé l'accélération graphique de ma carte RTX 5070 Nvidia, mais rien n'y fait.

    Même la dernière mise à jour de Photoshop 2026 d’aujourd’hui ne règle pas le problème.

    J'ai un processor Intel I913900K et 96 giga de mémoire corsaire vengeance 6600 MHz Cl32 et Windows 11 mis à jour.

    Quelqu'un aurait-il eu un problème similaire?

    Merci d'avance.

    Die Objektauswahl hatte diese Fehlermeldung ja schon in der Version 27.4. In 27.05 lief es bei mir auch nicht.
