I am sick to death of users telling us we should be quiet and wait for fix. It is not your place to moderate this forum. This is THE place to share notes, rant, and share possible work arounds. Several of the last posts have been helpful in shedding light on what's wrong, and have added value to this thread. If you don't like this thread then leave it, but as long as we're being civil it is not your place to tell us to chill out and be quiet. Sent from my iThingy ... View more

An Adobe employee aknowledged this and then Adobe has said nothing. We will whine all we want to. This is the place to do it. If you don't like it you can exit the thread. This is an important feature for many of us and it is not unreasonable to want answers and fixes, neither of which we are getting.  ... View more

I keep trying generative fill every month or so, but it's still not even remotely useful and never has been. Personally I'm not angry because Adobe hasn't broken anything. So for me droplets breaking is more of an issue than generative fill. But it's just not useful.    I remember when Adobe introduced content aware. It was frankly amazing. It was a gamer changer, and still things like healing brush tool and content aware delete are amazing compared to clone stamping. Yes, I remember those days. And that's what I keep waiting for again, a new gamer changer, another wow moment in image edting, and unfortunately generative fill is not it. It doesn't even work and continues to replace images with completely random things and give completely random results with no bearing at all on what I was after.    Keep trying Adobe. Same with Neural filters. Keep it up. But maybe it should be labeled as beta, because really it's not at all ready for prime time.  ... View more

Thanks for this. What I don't understand is that PS has this issue, and it's basically a permissions issue with screen recording, but OBS, a free screen video capture SW still works with no issues.    I understand that the Mac security has introduced some unnecessary bugs, but what I don't understand is why a free open source SW like OBS can figure it out but Adobe can't.  ...

with Windoze, permission issues. Droplets stop running and can't execute. Recreate the droplet and give it administrator rights. I can't remember 100% off the top of my head, but I think we still have issues on one windows machine. I'll ask my staff. But they're always similar to the Mac. Permission issues. Security issues.  ... View more

What's worse, Xenohart, is that Adobe doesn't ban the spam bots after they've been flagged by users, and they don't remove their garbage. Adobe just removes the spam link, but leaves the spam and the spammer. It's totally cringe.  ... View more

Dear Adobe Droplets are an integral part of my work flow. I have several Adobe subscriptions and use PS on a half dozen computers, both Windows and Mac. I believe that with the money I pay, I should expect to have a working product.    I cannot count the number of times that droplets have broken on both Mac and Windows in various ways. Please stop blaming Microsoft and Apple. You're a mega-company. Please figure out the problem and fix it. Please stop using your professional user base as beta testers. Please fix the droplet issues, and please, really, test droplets before you make new releases.  ... View more

What is with all the spam in the Adobe forums? This comment is spam with a clickbait link. This is at least the sixth one I've fladed in this thread. My God Adobe, get a grip on the spam bots!  ... View more

You will probably gret a better answer if you start a new topic with this question. This thread is about the latest Adobe updated and is probably not the best place for this question as it doesn't really fit here. Others can perhaps help you understand how to remove the beam of light if you post your question in the help forums as its own topic.  ... View more

Yes, this works. You have to go into security settings on the Mac now and allow the droplet to run EVERY SINGLE TIME you create a droplet. You create the droplet, try and run it once, you get the error, and then you go into security and alow it. But you have to do this with every single droplet now. Sometimes when I'm working on a project I'll create a droplet and then delete it when I'm done with that project. Sometimes multiple times a day, so this becomes a real pain in the rear every single time. Is there a way to fix this? ... View more

I feel like this thread and the forums in particular need much better moderation. First link was incorrect to begin with. Then three of the comments for which I got email notifications were clearly spam from bots adding click bait. The spam bots have taken over.  ... View more

Interesting. The plugin is still there (Mac LRC 14.3) but it doesn't appear to work. I haven't used it in quite some time, but when I tried it didn't say "enable" like your screen capture. It said "authorize". But after trying to authorize several times I gave up. So it is there, but it's no longer working.  ... View more

Technology moves fast, and sometimes in order to make new features you need to have newer hardware. But that doesn't mean you need the updates. I have in my small business 7 Macs and two PCs, all running Photoshop. A couple of those machines are old Mac Pros, 2013 edition, and we still use them. We can no longer update the OS or PS on those two machines, but we still use them for a lot of day to day things in PS. In most cases we don't notice that they aren't up to date, and we don't care. They work fine. Every year or two we rotate one of our machines to a lesser used workstation and buy new ones, and the new ones are for our most intensive day to day editing. But the old ones still work and we have no need to throw them out.    If you don't require it, there's no need to be on the latest version. In many cases you're not missing much.  ... View more

Glad it helped. We use PS and LRC for art scanning and historical document scanning all day long. Always trying out the new tools to see what works.  ... View more

Souvant une message comme ça indique que vous avez essayé de generer une image que PS troube inacceptable - que ce soit une image avec un problème de droit d'auteur, ou une image avec de la nudité etc. Mais sans le voir c'est difficile à dire. Les messages comme cela sont cryptiques et n'aident pas à savoir pourquoi il y avait un problème avec les résultats, mais tout simplement que PS n'était pas capable de créer l'image.  ... View more

Today I thought I would try generative fill for a project I'm working on, which is photographing an old blueprint drawing of the saturn jupiter voyager. I eventually just fixed the yellowing and aging by hand with selective color and curves. It was pretty easy. But I thought I would share the before and after that generative fill gave me.    I prompted "remove paper aging and yellowing". This was the result.    ... View more

Thanks Brett. Not an enterprise account. We're a small fine art print shop / art scanning and reproduction studio in Seattle. At any given time we may have slightly different PS versions on the half dozen machines that have PS, so we're able to try on different computers running both Windoze and Mac.    Hope our testing and reports have been of some value to Adobe. None of this was really important workwise, but it's been interesting. The issue with these prompts seems to be random. Appreciate the support on the forums.  ... View more

I just tried generating a image of satan it on a different computer and received the same message as OP posed above.  I was using the prompt "satan in garden" then I paired it down to "satan" and genertive fill still gave me an error msg. I was useing the lasso tool to select an irregular shaped area. So I tried something different; "Big Foot" using the rectangular marquee tool and came back with the above mentioned error msg. Moving on, I decied to use something pretty generic and typed "frog" sure enough I got some images of frogs. However, upon trying satan again it gave me varous fabrics of satin, lol. I than selected a different area using only the Rectangular Marquee tool and it finally gave me an image of satan. Hurray we got some where.  So, I tried again with satan and it started giving the error msg...yet again. Repeating the test again selected a different area using only the rectangular marquee tool and it finally gave me an image of satan.  So, it seems that generative fill is pretty hit and miss and is highly dependant on the selection tool and area that you are useing. However, even that is pretty hit and miss; as some of the prompts that I gave it where not in irregular shaped selections and it gave me error msgs.  We are on  Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.1.0 20241113.r.121 158e617 x64 ...

I really think Adobe needs to deal with this. Again, yesterday and today I was making droplets, and this has so messed with my productivity that it has made PS almost unusable for some things. There has to be a way for Adobe to make it so you don't have to approve every single droplet.  ... View more

I've gotten this prompt for things that might be considered NSFW or copyright problems. But yesterday I tried to insert satan into an image I was working on. I selected the area, typed in "Satan in the garden of Eden", and PS worked for about a minute and then did nothing. So I tried a number of other prompts - Satan, Lucifer, the devil etc. Nothing.    I thought maybe Generative fill was broken, so I tried "top hat", and after 15 seconds or so, I got a top hat.    Generative fill is a great idea, but honestly every single time I've tried it, it has been a huge disappointment at best. Mostly it wastes my time, so I've stopped using it.    The warning you got above is because you're asking PS to create an image it doesn't want to for whatever reason. Maybe it's NSWF, or maybe it's a copyright issue, but that's the issue.  ... View more

Thanks. This works. Sort of. I did this but then the first time I ran the droplet I got this message again:     I selected  "cancel" and then it asked me for my admin password and proceeded.    I can't believe that Mac has devolved to this level of unusability. The need to do this every single time I create a droplet is beyond the pale unusable, but given the related issues I've seen since Sequoia, this is much more likely Apple than Adobe.    thanks for the help.  ...

More trying. I tried saving a copy rather than "save as" in the actions. But that didn't help. I don't know why it says "this file was downloaded from the internet on an unknown date" because I just created it seconds before I ran it, same machine, same PS.      ... View more
