Photoshop

Recently my computer failed and I lost all programs. When I try to install Photoshop Elements on new computer error message states serial number in use. The serial number is not in use as the computer disk drive with original install on is corrupted..

Since the update to v. 27.9.1 my gradients are all different. I know you can access the legacy gradients (Adobe hides classic and older preset libraries by default. To get them back, open the standalone Gradients panel via Window > Gradients, click the panel's fly-out menu (the four horizontal lines icon) but only a few of the many legacy gradients load. Is there anyplace online where I can download the complete legacy gradients from the version just before this current update?Thanks for your help.

My action works once then states when I use it second time the command select is not currently available, all previous actions disppeared , trying to create the same way I’ve been doing it for 10 yrs doesn’t work ???If I close PS then reopen the action works once , then if I click the action again on a different image the command select is not currently available 

Simply went to open Photoshop.  Intro screen came up and little blue wheel was spinning but then it just stopped, no messages, etc.  Went through various potential solutions on Adobe and on the internet.  Nothing worked. Finally uninstalled and reinstalled through Creative Cloud.  Had put it in “Run as Administrator” in trying to solve the problem.  Changed that and Photoshop ran once.  When attempting to reopen it again, it would not run.  Lightroom works.  The Beta version of PS works.  

When I Save/Save As, I have to click endlessly away from last used to route- can we get a Windows Explorer bar at the top like most every other app?

I’ve been publishing for over thirty years and never had this issue. KDP demands exact dimensions for book covers, but recently, I am unable to resize images to fit those dimesions. I realize Photoshop uses pixels, but in publishing, you have to use inches. When i go to image size and deselect the resampling, as advised, and then insert my proper dimensions, Photoshop changes those dimesions so that the cover size is incorrect.I’ve tried checking and unchecking resample.I’ve tried starting over with a new template of the size needed, and it still won’t let me decide what size I need. The correct width and height is 13.198 x 9.25. When i can make those changes and save it, then open it back up, Photoshop has changed one or the other setting. The settings have to be exact, so without a solution to this, i can’t upload book covers. 

Why does my content here suddenly disappear???AGAIN: Why are my pictures sUDDENLY opening tiny?  It’s buried under those cross hairs about 1 px big. now my pictures are SUDDENLY receding under their info bar why is my profile SUDDENLY different; not at all what it has been for 10 years...Thanks gang

Went to update a plugin for Photoshop via ccx file apparently managed through Unified Plugin Installer Agent through Creative Cloud.  It would not install.  Tried all the remedies I could find listed.  Nothing worked.  Attempted running the UPIA from the command line and it returned a -410! error/status message.  Of course, searching for some insights online turned up nothing.  The supposed alternative is to uninstall everything and reinstall everything.  An absolutely ridiculous approach on many different levels.  Curious if anyone has any ideas about what might be able to address this problem.  As it stands now, I have a commercial plug in I can’t use.  Considering all the other problems and indifference to customers that Adobe has demonstrated over the last few years, seems that if I am going to have to start over ever quarter with software that is not only invasive but constantly being updated an alternative should be pursued.  I have used PS since the 90’s.  Would hate to change f

As the title says, I'm trying to use the new AI remove tool after removing some people using the Generative Fill tool, as the ai generated grass is usually more accurate when using Remove. This is something I have been doing since the remove tool came out, and it has worked without error until last week. Now, whenever I have used generative fill on an image, and I attempt to use the AI Remove tool, Photoshop says "Could not complete your request because of a program error", regardless of whether my selection includes the area where Generative Fill was used. I get the same result if I rasterise the Gen Fill layer, or if I flatten the image. However, if I undo the Gen Fill, or open a new image without any Gen Fill used on it, the Remove tool will work as it is supposed to. The file type does not seem to matter, as I have tried .dng, .psd, .png and .jpg and got the same results for all.   My question is, why might this be happening? Is it deliberate choice by adobe, or an uninte

Hello everyone, I've been experiencing a strange problem in Photoshop since yesterday. When I create a text box and try to write something like "100% cashmere," the % sign automatically moves to the left of the 100, resulting in "%100." Even when I copy-paste "100%" from Notepad, the % sign still moves before the 100. It's baffling! I have the latest version of Photoshop, and I'm on PC. In my screenshot, it's also strange because when I place my cursor just after the % sign and try to delete it, I can't. It's as if this action is blocked. Thanks you all of us

Since PS introduced the new 2026 Actions panel I cannot find a way to remove a stop.My actions were created years ago where there was a checkbox besides every step to include a stop or not. I had usually a stop checked, especially with save and close … in order to decide where I want it to be saved to.But using an action as a batch from Bridge I don’t want the stop to avoid to selecting location, etc every time. I want it to go without intreruption, saving (and closing) to the location determined in Bridge > Photoshop >Batch > select folder.In the past I just opened the first image in PS and unchecked the stop in the action. This allowed the selected location in Bridge Batch processing to override the original location in the actionNow, in the new actions pallet I cannot find a way to uncheck the stop that’s in my action and in general … to make Bridge Batch settings to override..Anyone, please!Thanks

Ik gebruik CCD de nieuwste versie van Photoshop is geïnstalleerd, Illustrator, Lightroom InDesign geen problemen.Iemand een idee?

I recently updated to the Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.9.1 20260803.r.1 65900e1  x64 (final, Release). Once I import an image and I use the Clone Stamp Tool, it doesn't work as it used to. I use Alt+Click to select an area to clone, but then, when I click on a target to clone on, it uncontrollably clones other areas of the image, at a linear manner. I haven't seen such a behavior before. 

When I try to make a new guide in Photoshop it shows up as pixels instead of inches so I have to type in “in”. This is a new issue. Any idea how to fix it? I have my rulers set in inches etc. Thanks!

Photoshop as of yesterday started crashing on launch - Only an hour before it was working fine. uninstalling, deleting preferences, full CC clean has not fixed the issue.From what i can tell the only change in that hour span was that the Creative Cloud manager app updated camera raw. Additional Details:Photoshop version 27.7 Nvidia Drivers (Studio) are on latest version as of writing and were both before and after the update  Tried clean reinstall of these Windows updates has been checked for any missing updates and has none to offer Does anyone have a fix?Or can offer how to rollback both photoshop and camera raw to a stable version?I’m in the middle of an important project delivery and need access again. I know how to install older versions of photoshop but it seems like it’s the camera raw plugin crashing things and I don’t know how to roll that back

How do I turn off snapping when moving selections?When i move a selection just a tiny bit it snaps back to its original place and its bugging me a lot-Here is a video as demonstration:https://youtu.be/c_nLpqO3RMQ(and yes all the snapping modes are off:)
