Bug Reports

Gradients with transparency no longer work. Here is a Photoshop file with a white base layer and a black layer with a white mask on top:  NormalIf I draw a black to white gradient on the mask from top to bottom I get this:  NormalIf however I draw a black to transparent gradient on the mask, from top to bottom, I get this:  The gradient is drawn only at the extreme bottomThe third image should look exactly like the second image. The second bug will be more difficult to squash. I keep my gradient set to black to transparent and never change it. However, after several openings and closings of Photoshop, Photoshop replaces my gradient with a black to white gradient.

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.

Hello, I don't know if it's a normal behavior, but when I use the new "Remove Tool", my memory usage is going crazy : In the task manager it takes 20Go of RAM, and it takes 18Go more on my scratchdisk.Even if I do teeny strokes on an white layer.Here is a video (2min) link to show the PS usage, the task manager, and explorer for the scratchdisk (SSD).https://youtu.be/qToMtrUmm-0I tried to use all the others tools, and the RAM usage is "normal". For example : 50 clicks with spot removal and photoshop uses only 5Go RAM, and 0Go scractchdisk.Is it normal ?Thank you !

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

Generative Upscale in Photoshop web is not working, it will say something went wrong, not upscale and also has another what looks like an error code "0" This started happening yesterday afternoon and is continuing to occur this morning.  On another note, after reading through some of these Firefly forums this morning, and after receiving a $10 a month increase in my monthly subscription price… Adobe needs to seriously making all their Firefly offerings free until they actually work out all of the bugs in this system. You can’t just be taking money from people and giving them absolute garbage over and over again.   

Hello Adobe Support Team,After updating to Photoshop v27.3 and v27.3.1, I encountered an issue when using the Curves adjustment.When adjusting Curves on the composite RGB channel (not individual R, G, or B channels), if I make an additional adjustment afterward, a residual or ghosted image from the previous adjustment appears. If I switch to another layer and then return to the original layer, the residual image disappears. However, if I continue adjusting the Curves, the ghosting issue reappears.I tested this behavior by downgrading to Photoshop v27.2, and the issue does not occur in that version. The Curves adjustment works as expected in v27.2 without any residual artifacts.This issue seems to be specific to v27.3 and v27.3.1 and may be related to how Curves adjustments are refreshed or rendered.Thank you for your time and support. I hope this information is helpful for identifying and resolving the issue.

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

When launching Photoshop the following error appears on screen:“could not apply the saved panel configuration, resetting to default”After the application starts up, workspace can be restored back to the saved preferred layout and everything function correctly. This started with 27.1 and has continued in to 27.3There was also already a thread on here where Adobe said it was being looked in to and myself and others had submitted error logs to show where it appeared to flagging the error. After the community change here, that previous bug report has disappeared from the link resolving there or finding it via search so adding a new till it gets addressed.  

Issue: Photoshop version: 27.3.1 Release OS: Tahoe 26.3 (25D125)Steps to reproduce:Image > Mode > Duotone… Change Type to Monotone Attempt to name Ink 1 anything with the letter “P” in it You will not be able to type the letter “P” because it will instead toggle the “Preview” box in the Duotone Options panel on and off Expected result: Being able to name an Ink color with words that have the letter “P” in themActual result: Typing the letter “P” toggles Preview on / off  

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

OS: Latest Windows version.Photoshop: 27.3.1GPU: RTX 5070, latest driver. When using the Symmetry Tool to draw, the mirrored side doesn’t seem to take some brush settings into account and redraws an off-looking line, but brush path and stylus pressure sensitivity is still correctly mirrored.This is always true for both vertical and horizontal symmetry, but somehow redraws a perfect looking line in the opposite corner of a Dual Axis symmetry. Same for Mandala symmetry.Right side is the OriginalTop Right is the OriginalThe only exception is the Radial symmetry which reproduces perfect looking lines. Though I’m guessing the “nice looking lines” are only rotated, not flipped/mirrored.The bad looking results get worse the smaller the pixel size of the brush is. Top Right is the OriginalMy pen input is represented by the right hand (or top right hand) side of each screenshot, using a 4px size brush (except for the horizontal example where I used a 3px brush to emphasize that pixel size matte

Steps to reproduce:1. Open Photoshop v27.x on Windows 11.2. Open any image (8-bit PNG/JPG).3. Go to Image > Adjustments > Exposure...4. Move the Exposure slider (for example, +0.5).5. Observe the Gamma Correction slider: it instantly jumps to 0.01 and the preview becomes heavily distorted.Actual result:Gamma Correction resets to 0.01 automatically after moving the Exposure slider, producing a washed-out / broken preview.Expected result:Gamma should remain stable or adjust smoothly; it should not reset to an extreme value.System info:- Photoshop version: 27- OS: Windows 11- GPU: RTX 5070 (12GB)- GPU acceleration: Enabled- Bit depth: 8 bits/channel

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.

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.        

Bonjour,Quand j'utilise l'Outil Correcteur Localisé en cliquant avec ma souris sur une zone de la photo à l’écran, une multitude de lignes partent dans tous les sens. Donc cet outil ne fonctionne plus depuis plusieurs jours. Est-ce un bug ?

Changes to the Clarity and Dehaze adjustment effects are not reflected on the Photoshop canvas after saving.Steps:Create a document (artboards are not required). Put anything inside it and apply Adjustments → Clarity and Dehaze. Convert everything into a single Smart Object. Save it to Adobe Cloud. Reopen the Smart Object, make any change, save the Smart Object, and return to the original tab. You will see that the Clarity and Dehaze effect is no longer applied. It’s very easy to reproduce — just check it yourself 👉VIDEO  

The tab to click on and change the properties for an adjustment layer randomly disappears. Quitting and re-opening the app solves the issue, but it will happen again within minutes, usually when switching between different projects or different app on the computer.  On Photoshop v26.6 - Mac Mini M4 pro, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd.   Any help would be appreciated! ss

The "import video to layers" features is unusable after the latest update. Since I use this feature all the time this is critical for me!   - i am using a .mov file that has worked before (prores 4444, 10mb, 3seconds) - clicking ok makes the dialog hang 30 seconds with spinning beach ball - "Making layers" process takes 7 minutes! It took 7 seconds before! - the opened layers are all empty   Macbook Pro M3 Pro, macOS 15.1.1 Photoshop 26.1.0 20241113.r.121
