Photoshop

When I us egenerative fill or lasso etc, to repair the backdrop, it leaves a visible seam like a watermark? How do I fix this, it has never happened me before?Edit

Hello.  I've been attempting to use Photoshop CC to stack images.  I have a camera that can utilize focus bracketing. I recently tried to stack 99 focus bracketed images, with a very small focus differential, with horrible results in Photoshop CC.  The process was: 1) auto-align; 2) auto-blend; 3) flatten layers. Below is the result of my stacked image. The result should have been a sharp picture from front to back. What I got was gobs of blur everywhere. Wasn't expecting such poor results from Adobe. Please, if anyone has any useful input/advice, I'd be very grateful!

App version 25.0.0Mac Mini M1MacOS Ventura 13.6Just updated few days ago to v25 and noticed that the crop tool is not working. It lets me define the crop area but when I hit "enter" to confirm the choice the image disappears.  

Need Photoshop version compatable with MAC OS Monterey 12.7.6  I recently purchased the new version of Photoshop and it won't run properly on my platform. I can't upgrade the current opedrating system.

I’ve been compositing this project for a bit and I’ve been running into problems. One of them is this blur that happens when I remove parts of the masks. I use a soft-edge brush to remove the parts of the subject. If I use the hard-edge, it will give a bizarre result. Not all of the time this happens but this is often. Can anyone help me out with this particular issue?

Hi everyone,I've been working on larger Photoshop projects recently, and I've noticed that once a file grows to dozens, or even hundreds, of layers, keeping everything organized becomes almost as challenging as the editing itself.Everyone seems to have a different workflow, so I'm curious how experienced Photoshop users handle it.Do you rely on:Layer groups and color labels? Smart Objects? Naming every layer? Layer Comps? Libraries? Keyboard shortcuts for navigation?Or is there another habit that's made a noticeable difference in your workflow?I'm interested in approaches that make projects easier to revisit weeks or even months later, especially when collaborating with others or making revisions.I'd love to hear what works best for you and whether there's a tip you wish you'd adopted much earlier.Thanks in advance!

Photoshop boots up, if I save a custom document template it sometimes will show up in that session while photoshop is left open. If I close photoshop the template will not exist when I next boot it up. 70% of the time when Photoshop is booted up the tools won’t load. I have reset tool preferences, reinstalled photoshop and downgraded to a previous version. Issues didn’t start until I updated to latest version, but still persist. 

I’ve created a script that will create a layer group from a selected layer and the group will take on the name of the selected layer. Sharing here for anyone that can use it. It’s very handy.var d = new ActionDescriptor();var r = new ActionReference();r.putClass(stringIDToTypeID("layerSection"));d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);var r1 = new ActionReference();r1.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("from"), r1);var d1 = new ActionDescriptor();d1.putString(stringIDToTypeID("name"), app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name);d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("using"), stringIDToTypeID("layerSection"), d1);executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("make"), d, DialogModes.NO); Note: For anyone who hasn’t used scripts in Photoshop you need to past the above text into a simple text file (e.g. using an app like Notepad, Notepad ++, etc.) and change the file extension tag to .jsx - load this file as a script i

When woke my imac this morning (OS 12.6.5) I found Photoshop uninstalled. I'm the only user and my bill is all paid up. My other Adobe software remains intact. It just wasn't there!I went to the CC home page and it said my other apps were up to date and that I could install PS, as though I never had before. So I did, no problem installing.   HOWEVER, 20 years worth of presets, brushes, macros and actions are all gone. That was a LOT of usability/productivity to have taken away without warning. Is there an easy retreival? What gives?

This is a followon from my original post a few years ago: https://community.adobe.com/questions-712/c2paws-files-now-being-created-with-every-document-saved-why-1165120The problem seemed to resolve itself about 24 months ago and since then, I’ve been free of this mess, but this week Photoshop updated to 27.8.0 and the .c2paws files have come back again. Every filetype I open now generates these files - tif, psd, png, jpg - you name it, they get created. Before the ‘AI’ bots reply and tell me it’s “content credentials” - no - it’s not. I turned this off three years ago and it’s been off ever since. I even toggled it back on and off today to see if that would cure it. It doesn’t. I’ve rebooted. I’ve re-installed PS 27.8.0 - nothing works. This is a plague on my machine now. I have hundreds of these files that have been created in the last few days without me noticing so now I’m having to once again run a cleanup script just to un-clutter all my project folders. 

Even though it is checked and has to be seen on the PSD screen and even though I uninstall the photoshop and resinstall it, even though I use the beat too, contexual task bar seems to be some else that I can not reach now :) Is there a solution for that?

I've been using Adobe for over 20 years, and I've encountered more issues in the past year than I did in the previous decade combined. I can’t be the only one feeling this.

Photoshop Version: 27.2.0 (Windows)  (sorry not 27.2.2 as per title)Steps to reproduce:Open Photoshop. Create a new RGB 8-bit document. Select Image → Adjustments → Brightness/Contrast. Instead of opening the Brightness/Contrast adjustment, Photoshop enters an eyedropper/modal state. Menus become disabled until Esc or Enter is pressed. Repeating the command eventually leaves Photoshop locked in the modal state.Expected behaviour:Brightness/Contrast dialog (or Properties panel) opens.Actual behaviour:Eyedropper/modal state appears, preventing use of the command.

Lens Blur option if Camera Raw filter is not working,  showing an error "Something is wrong.....etc" without any error code.

This has been happening for about a year now, where I’ve noticed that Photoshop on the Ipad crashes randomly and loses some amount of your work. Yesterday it lost 2 hours worth of work. I have continually checked the space on my Ipad, which there is plenty of, so I don’t think it’s due to my Ipad’s dada load. This was not happening in years past, it’s just within the past year. 

I have an OTF package of Helvetica Neue and I had installed it, but every time I opened a file which contained some text using Helvetica Neue, Photoshop or Illustrator displayed that "resolve fonts" screen. All files I downloaded including mockups, layouts, icons and others which were using HelveticaNeue, there wasn't a match with their "helveticaneue" and the one installed on my computer, and those Helvetica Neue variations are always the same.So, my question: Are there "standard" files for Helvetica Neue? Sounds like every designer in the world uses the same Helvetica Neue (a TTF version maybe) and I just can't find a file that matches the most used one. I downloaded Helvetica Neue from a lot of sources on the internet but they come different, then I have to see that annoying screen asking me to resolve fonts missing.If you, designers, use some common website to download fonts including the popstar Helvetica Neue, I really appreciate!!

I downloaded Helvetica Bold font from this site. In sqare bracket it says that [Free Sans Bold]. The name added to Ps is FreeSans . Is there any way change this name to Helvetica Bold in Ps? or How to handle this type of  situation?dafontfree  

Hallo, ich wollte in Photoshop einen Hund mit Hilfe des KI-Scharfzeichnen-Filter etwas verbessern. Habe den Hund mit dem Auswahlwerkzeug ausgewählt und den KI-Scharfzeichen-Filter angewandt. Der Hund wurde scharfgestellt, aber Photoshop hat das ganze Bild verzerrt bzw. eine dopplung des Bildes mit einer anderen Ausrichtung erstellt. Was mache ich falsch?Selbst wenn ich keine Auswahl treffe, macht er das. das Scharfstellen in Lightroom führt auch zu ganz kuriosen Verzerrungen. Selbst wenn ich das Bild von Photoshop in Luminar Neo übertrage um dort etwas zu bearbeiten, um es am Ende wieder in Photoshop zu bearbeiten, führt zu Verzerrungen. Das tritt seit gestern auf. Dabei habe ich nichts verstellt. HIer mal ein Beispielbild. Könnt Ihr helfen?Danke Euch  

1. I use Adobie Photoshop 2026, I renew it yesterday, but this bug was also present in previus version of Photoshop.2. Mac Sonoma 14.6.1. Hello,I am experiencing a serious issue in Photoshop that is making it almost impossible to work.While creating layouts with artboards, random ghost text/duplicated numbers start appearing all over the document.The text shows up on random layers and random places, even where no text layer exists.Once it starts, the file becomes unusable and the problem spreads to every new file I work on.Also can be opening random image/photo and it can have text from previous file where all over the image. What I observe:The duplicated text looks like fragments of existing text (prices, numbers, symbols)It appears across multiple artboardsIt is not linked to a specific layer it can appear on any other layers with image or with other layers with text.It cannot be selected or deletedSaving, reopening, or duplicating the file does not fix itIt visually “burns

What happened to Auto-select tool and Layers Panel?Many years when I select layer on canvas with Auto-select (ctr+mouse click) it also expanded Layers group on the Layers panel to reveal in which group is selected layer.For some time it has not been working anymore and is not revealing layer in Layers Panel!

Action now produces a bluish, washed-out image instead of improved tones. Worked recently but now fails. Photoshop 27.9.0 on M1 Ultra/macOS 26.5.2. First Action step alone causes issue. Manual Levels Auto corrects it. Auto Tone shows same fault. Tested PSD/PNG/JPG.
