Thanks for this but I can't find answers to any of the issues on that page. e.g. 'font' or 'typeface' doesn't appear on that page, I couldn't find info on why .ai files can't be dragged from the library into Illustrator, and while there was fluuffy info on orgaisation and structure, I couldn't see info on why the structure from the library pannel isn't mirrord online or on Adobe Express.

@Jason253673881ubc Not sure if you found a solution to this but this was bugging me as well - here's the fix that worked for me: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/brush-tool-opt-click-used-to-set-foreground-colour-but-now-sets-bg-colour-how-to-fix/m-p/15363066#M868309

OK, finally found it but you have to have the Color panel open (not the colour switcher on the main toolbar). See attached, the foreground colour has to be selected or OPT-Click will set the background colour. Not sure if this is new behaviour or if mine got switched somehow – make sure your color panel looks like the attached with the foreground colour selected... Ensure foreground colour has a light square around it.

Hi There, this one has been bugging me for a while - anyone know how to fix? Title says it all, with a brush selcted, option click now sets the background colour insted of the freground colour - the eyedropper tool itself has always worked this way but not the brush tool. Does anyone know how to get the previous behvior? It now takes extra clicks. Any help much apprecitaed. Cheers, Ben

Hi There, never had a need for Libraries in the past, so sorry if this is easy... 1. How do you add Adobe fonts? I can drag text but this seems to create a style How do you add a font from the Adobe library? Also, I don't see a + button on the Libraries panel as seen in tutorials and help docs - is this normal or an indication something is wrong? 2. Why can't .ai files be added to Illustrator documents? I have an Illustrator file open but some ai files in the library are greyed out When I hover over the file, it's clearly an .ai file (see attached) but says it's unsupported If I try to drag the file onto the page, I see a green + but nothing happens These are .ai files from our logo library which open from the finder, so unsure what's happening ai file not supported in Illustrator? Exact same issue in InDesign, can't drag it to a page as it's not supported... ai file not supported in InDesign 3. Why isn't the in-app structure/organisation mirrored on the Adobe website? I've spent a LOT of time organising the library so it makes sense to non-designers This organisation displays in the CC Libraries panel in Illustrator and InDesign It also displays correctly in the Creatiove Cloud app But when viewing on the Adobe website, none of the logo, icon and asset organisation displays Everything just shows up as 'Graphics' which is obviously painful/frustrating 4. Why does the structure/organisation not display correctly in Adobe Express? Some of the structure displays But none of the colours display Niether do any of the fonts There's certainly plenty of frustration about CC Libraries in the forums - are they not ready for serious work or something? I hope that all makes sense, any help or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated. Cheers, Ben

Hi There, upgraded to Illustrator 29.1 but some prefs didn't come over - have also tried manually replacing but no joy. Where is the preference to enable the previous zoom where you draw a rectangle instead of realtime dragging? Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Ben

Title says it all. We can search all of Adobe's apps but there's no way to search only Adobe Express - is that right? If you search all apps, the Adobe Express boxes take you to the main marketing site or App download page which is silly - no?

Except that's the behaviour - it's insane. If the checkbox has nothing to do with transforming then DON'T INCLUDE THE WORD TRANSFORM IN IT'S NAME! That checkbox should be renamed to 'Show Translate Controls' to reflect that it controls the bounding box while translating. Transform is a specific tool which we both agree has nothing to do with that checkbox, despite it being labelled as a Transform control.

@Stephen Marsh I became familair with it when it was in the cog, hence the initial comment. By design, it's active while transforming, despite the checkbox. The checkbox is controlling the visibility of the transform box when the layer is selected/targeted/active when one is not transforming. By @Stephen Marsh The checkbox labelled 'Show Transform Controls' has no effect while transforming? It's insane!

OK, it seems the specific option has now been moved from under the cog, untick it from here... Counterintuitively, when you Transform, it still shows the transform control box even though 'Show Transform Controls' is now unchecked. Does logic exist anymore or am I missing something basic here?

Hi There, There seems to be a trend to create UI that covers the thing you're working on (like the task bar) with the latest being the bounding box that always appears (at least it does for me). I've found answers but can't get back to the more useful, previous behaviour which was... - Show bounding box only while transforming - No bounding box when not transforming Sorry if missing something basic here but does anyone know how to stop this UI getting in the way of your work? Cheers, Ben

Thanks Ann but does that allow us to apply AI processing on clean audio, or just turn AI processing off? When I tried the AI processing in general, it sounded like it was cumulative, and resulted in the audio getting worse and worse (weird artefacts) each time I made changes. Yes, I could turn off AI processing but I couldn't re-apply AI processing on clean audio once AI was ever applied. To my ears, it sounded like it re-activated older AI processing, then applied new AI processing over the top - is that how it works? In the end, to fixe the weird AI artefacts, I had to delete the audio track, re-add clean audio, then apply one round of AI processing. Hope that makes sense.

For some reason, the old track heights seemed to work 99% of the time. I've rarely needed to adjust track heights until now. Track height presets don't fix the problem and seem to be for a different purpose. REQUEST: Zoom all video + audio tracks to fit timeline window 'Zoom tracks to fit' = Fits the height and width of all tracks to the timeline window 'Zoom track heights to fit' = Fits the height of all tracks to the timeline window 'Zoom timeline width to fit' = Fits the width of all timeline tracks to the timeline window 'Zoom video track heights to fit' = Fits the height of video tracks to the timeline window, leaving audio tracks as they are 'Zoom audio track heights to fit' = Fits the height of audio tracks to the timeline window, leaving video tracks as they are I currently use the \ key to fit timeline width but it needs to be consistent with the other proposed fit commands, so they're grouped and easily found. Related to this ongoing issue (it's not solved BTW): https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/why-you-still-cannot-hide-illustrator-with-cmd-h/m-p/9454138

The main problem is that there's no 'Zoom to fit' for the timeline - at least, not that I can find. I can fit timeline width using the \ key but can't find an option to fit track heights. I have track height presets set etc but honestly, it's convoluted compared to a simple 'Fit' command. At the moment I'm using SHFT +/- and CMD +/- to see everything but a 'Fit' command would solve everything - right?

Hi There, After searching, the generally accepted solution is to toggle off the 'Show Stylistic Alternatives' button on the character panel but this doesn't work for me. Have also tried disabling Adobe Montserrat and enabling Google's but still the same issue - the non-italic fonts appear as strange characters. This only happens with Montserrat in Photoshop for some reason. Does anyone know why and how to fix? Any help much appreciated. - New M4 Macbook - Sequoia 15.1.1 erase and install - no migration assistant - Photoshop 2025 26.1.0

Hi There, I have a new install of Sequoia (erase and install, no migration) and a new install of Adobe CC but I don't see any of the built-in plugins for Photoshop. Other posts state that the built-in plugins require Rosetta. To activate Rosetta, I went.. CMD + I on Terminal Tick 'Open using Rosetta' Opened Terminal which worked But after restarting Photoshop, I still don't see any plugins. How do I install?

@Anshul_Saini Just to clarify, the request isn't so much about streamlined workflows, it's more about providing a touch/pen interface for Photoshop on desktop via a tablet/pen - which means switching between mouse and tablet/pen as needed. Imagine if you had to transfer a file to the cloud and open it on a different device simply to use the mouse. That's how silly the current situation is. Hope that makes more sense. Cheers, Ben

@Stephen Woodhouse Agreed. Although not needed often, syncing shortcuts, those pesky/easily forgotten preferences, and workspaces would be a super useful and practical use of cloud services - across all Creative Cloud appas.

Hi There, if this is possible please let me know... Request: Realtime instant retouch using Photoshop for iPad's tools directly on the Desktop image - no file transfer. Nobody's got time to save a file to the cloud, open it on iPad, retouch it, then save it back to the cloud, then re-open it on desktop. Whenever I need pencil retouching, I need instant access and for it to be part of the desktop workflow. Instead of copying a file, just give us instant access to all of Photoshop for iPad's tools/controls directly on the Desktop image - like a specialised Photoshop Sidecar. The current either/or situation is pointless. Either we transfer files to the cloud, or use Sidecar/Duet with zero control. But in reality, we need both instant retouch and full control - right? Integrate Photoshop for iPad's tools into the Desktop workflow instead of only treating it like a separate app/tool/device. Hope that makes sense. Cheers, Ben

OK, so I can bypass the 'Enhance speech' effect on the clip... But it's like the AI is destructive and can't be removed or rerun - is that right? For example, the first time a ran it, it sounded OK but I might've enhanced the enhancement if that makes sense, and now it sounds terrible. Can you roll-back to zero AI processing and reanalyse from scratch?

Hi There, I tried Essential Sound on dialogue but it did a terrible job - how do you completely remove the AI processing from audio clips and return clips to their original sound? I clicked the 'Clear Audio Type' button at the top of the panel but the clips still have the processing on it. Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Ben

Since the v25 update, when there's no empty space below the last clip in the project panel, you can't drag it to the timeline. See attached - that last clip won't drag to the timeline unless there is clear space below it. Shortcuts work but I can't find a shortcut that always puts the clip on an empty track above (like dragging does). If not a bug, let me know. If there's no space below the last clip, the clip can't be dragged to the timeline... If no space, the last clip can't be dragged Create space below the last clip (by moving the UI around) and the clip can be dragged to the timeline... Last clip will drag if there's clear space below it Cheers, Ben

After 8 years later, photoshop stealing focus is still a constant frustration. It seems like this happens whenever Photoshop finishes an operation. e.g. You hit save on a large PSD You switch to InDesign to keep designing After the save ends, Photoshop jumps/moves/switches to the front and steals focus It seems to always happen if you're in the finder though It's constantly in the way after many different versions or Photoshop and MacOS - current setup is...
