Photoshop on iPad - Is there a way to set the Touch Shortcut to act as the Option key does on MacOS when creating a layer mask, instantly creating a black mask? The best solution I’ve found - without a keyboard - is to tap the mask icon, then the filter icon, then select invert. Of course that works, but… the Touch Shortcut is just… right there.
I am experiencing a reproducible problem with my brand new Wacom Intuos Pro M (PTK-670) and Pro Pen 3 on my MacBook with an external LG monitor.My preferred setup is to use the external LG monitor as my main working display for Photoshop, while keeping the MacBook's built-in display available for other applications such as email, Finder or a browser.The problemWhen Photoshop is open and active, the Wacom pen correctly controls the cursor on the external LG monitor while hovering above the tablet.However, as soon as I touch the tablet with the pen tip, the cursor immediately jumps from the external LG monitor to the MacBook's built-in display.This can also happen simply when the pen is picked up/used while Photoshop is the active, window without me intentionally doing anything with the pen.If I tap my Macbook screen with the pen it jumps to the LG monitor – so the pen is unusable with Photoshop.The Wacom behaves correctly if I close the MacBook lid, leaving only the external LG monitor
Hi everyone, I'd like to know if it's possible to turn off these constant prompts/suggestions to use AI in all Creative Cloud software?Adobe—like every other tool these days—is going overboard with this stuff. We're not all beginners who need to be spoon-fed. I'll decide for myself if and when to use them.
Hallo zusammen, das Problem: Das generative Füllen ist ausgegraut. Ich kann es nicht anklicken, gibt auch keine Fehlermeldung oder Sonstiges. Es ist einfach nicht verfügbar. Andere lösten es: Ich habe schon mehrere Beiträge darüber gelesen, allerdings konnten alle das Problem lösen indem Sie in Behance das Alter eintragen. Beim Anmelden in Behance erscheint bei mir kein Fenster und ich finde auch keine Möglichkeit mein Alter irgendwo zu ändern. Was könnte noch das Problem sein oder die Lösung bringen? Info: Das Konto ist Teil unserer Firma und kann (teilweise) über die Admin Console bearbeitet werden. Auch darauf habe ich Zugriff, kann jedoch die Lösung nicht finden. Photoshop (25.5.1) und Creative Cloud habe ich auf die aktuellste Version geupdatet.
Photoshop 27.10.0 on MacOS - there is no Brightness/Contrast layer available. Bug or feature?
The newly added modern user interface does not preview when using “apply image”. It also does not save the last known state/settings of apply image like it has in the past. This means if you are doing multiple apply images you have to select your settings every single time which is a huge pain. Please fix this so preview works and last used state/settings is saved or keep this options in the preferences so I can turn off modern user interfaces. It’s great Adobe wants to modernize the UI. Just make sure it works the same as before. To replicate the issue: Step 1. Open an RGB image.Step 2. Duplicate Red channel and Green ChannelStep 3: Select duplicated green copy channelStep 4. Go to image - apply image and select these optionsLayer: mergedChannel: Red copyBlending Mode: AddOpacity 100%Check invert boxTurn on and off preview Issue: The image will not show the preview of what is being applied when checking and unchecking the box. Only hitting ok shows what apply image will do. I have GP
Although the color space is the same (sRGB IEC61966-2.1), the image in the web version—at least in the web settings window—is noticeably warmer (see screenshot).Can this be adjusted for the preview window?Photoshop 27.10.0macOS 26.3.2 (25D2140)
I used to be able to toggle the auto-select options between layer and group by pressing “.” but this function no longer works after updating to 27.11.0. I can’t find anything online about this key command and why it’s suddenly not working but I’m certain it worked this way before as I’ve checked a different a different computer running 27.6.0 and it works there. Can I turn this key command back on again? I used it a lot and would appreciate not having to manually use the dropdown to switch between selecting layers/groups. I did look in my key commands list and didn’t see anything that matches the function I’m looking for. Also mannually creating key commands requires cmd or an f-key so I’m not sure I could just add it the same way it was before via the key command editor anyway.
I recently bought a brand new MacBook Pro M5 with 48gb of working memory. Every app I use on a daily basis for work has been smooth, fast, and seamless- except Photoshop. It is consistently laggy. I’ll make a brush stroke and it will show up on the screen 5+ seconds later. I will click on the layers tab and it takes 4+ seconds to register.I currently have the memory usage set to 70%. I tried upping the memory and turning on and off some Graphics Processors settings, but that did not help.Yesterday, I was working on a 8”x10” file at 400 dpi with about 6 layers. I had only been working on that file for 20 minutes max. I went to Activity Monitor and Photoshop was taking up a whopping 16.09gb!!I removed and redownloaded Photoshop last week and am still experiencing this extreme lag.I use Photoshop for work and it has become nearly unusable. Please help! 🙏
I understand why there is a necessity to provide boundaries on generative ai tools as it pertains to potentially exploitative imagery. However, as someone who is both an artist and has loyally used Adobe products for my entire career - I’m really frustrated with the censorship on images that are genuinely not even close to an actual guideline violation. Being able to utilize the tools I’m paying for in my subscription should not be too big of an ask. The types of imagery I get denials on are so far from being indecent that it’s honestly insulting - I’m talking images of women in one piece bathing suits and from the front view. Is there genuinely no alternative to supporting your Boudoir Photographer customers using your platforms? What prevents Adobe from a solution that protects itself AND supports it’s Boudoir photographer customers by vetting the legitimate Businesses who are established? If there’s something surrounding this I’m not understanding fully, I’m more than willing to be
Hi Adobe Team,I am using Photoshop version 27.10.0 on macOS, and the fact that the Canvas Size dialog no longer accepts a comma (,) as a decimal separator is severely breaking my daily workflow.I am used to typing a comma for decimals, and in older versions of Photoshop, the app was smart enough to accept both commas and periods seamlessly. Since the modern UI update, Photoshop completely rejects or ignores the comma, forcing an unnatural change to my muscle memory just for this dialog box.Interestingly, Adobe Illustrator still handles this perfectly, accepting both commas and periods without any issues. Photoshop should maintain consistency with other Creative Cloud apps.This is a major regression in usability for international users. Please restore the previous behavior where both commas and periods were accepted as decimal separators.Thank you.
Lasso tool is completly broken.It starts to activate only after I move cursor few pixels which makes it not precise.also when you try to move selected pixels just a little it jumps back to original positionCan you please fix that adobe? I would like to have my basic tool working to do my job.
Issue summary: Since Photoshop 2025 (exact version unknown, but after 25.12.4) direction-based brush strokes, when set in the brush settings (Shape Dynamics - Angle Jitter - Direction), are not working properly. The very first 'pixel' of nearly every stroke is angled about 90 degrees perpendicular, before correcting itself immediately as the stroke continues. This breaks a previously working workflow. The problem is only mitigated by using external stabilisation (I’m using Lazy Nezumi Pro with light smoothing), which suggests the issue is related to how initial pen input samples are handled at stroke start. I also ideally need to have 1% smoothing enabled in Photoshop, or the bug can lightly reoccur occasionally. Using older Photoshop versions avoids the issue, but this is not a viable long-term solution due to other compatibility and stability concerns. I have used these brushes for years with no issues until recently.Product and version: 25.12.4. (laptop) the bug does not occur in th
Issue summary: Panels flickering when moving cursor over image Product and version: Photoshop 27.11 Operating system: macOS 27.0.1 Golden Gate Steps to reproduce: Open Photoshop - let system to sleep, wake up system with Photoshop left open, open image, move cursor over image = side panels flickering. After restarting Photoshop flickering is gone. After sleep and wake up system side panels flickering again.
In the save dialog in photoshop, you can check or uncheck: 'layers', 'as a copy' and some other options. It would be nice if you could also check 'with history', to preserve your history while closing or sending a file. In that way, other people that open your file can see the steps you've made, and you can get back to how you started a year after your project is finished. It takes up some more space of course, maybe the application can show you how much of a difference in MB's it would take.
Hi, I’m a Teaching Assistant for a graphic design course. My instructor and I have been having issues with students submitting the completed End files from Adobe Classroom in a Book lessons as their own work. Some even modify the End files before submitting them.We now require students to submit their original Illustrator and Photoshop working files (.ai). Is there a reliable way to check a file’s editing history or determine whether a student worked through the lesson themselves instead of modifying the provided End file?
This happened to me just today; I’m using a Win11 system with the Photoshop icon in the system tray. I noticed it was just a generic page icon, and when I clicked on it I received the following message:“The item’Photoshop.exe’ that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.Do you want to delete the shortcut?” I checked the folder where Photoshop is supposed to be installed and it was pretty much empty; just a couple leftover folders with no settings folder. So, I assume my shortcuts have been deleted along with Photoshop being uninstalled. None of the other applications in Creative Cloud were affected.I don’t know if this is a bug, or has something to do with the Windows 26h2 update (which I sincerely doubt). I also know other people have been having this happen to them as well, sometimes multiple times. My subscription is paid and I’m logged onto my Adobe account -- I’m wondering at this point what I’m paying for as this is obviou
Hi everyone,I am designing vector graphics and icon assets in Illustrator to use inside responsive web containers and custom sidebar widgets.When I export my artwork using File > Export > Export for Screens (SVG format) and embed it into my website, there is noticeable empty padding/whitespace around the graphics that messes up the alignment and container spacing.I've tried tweaking the artboard dimensions, but the exported SVG still retains extra padding inside the bounding box on the web page.Is there a specific setting in Illustrator's SVG Export Options (like CSS properties, Responsive settings, or ViewBox parameters) that ensures the artboard trims tightly around the artwork without extra margins?Any advice on the best workflow for web-ready SVG exports would be greatly appreciated!
Engraving portraits on CNC machines requires a separate plugin with features such as: spotted stone texture overlay; engraving preview; layers with different frequency channels of engraving points, for ease of retouching. And of course, the AI function for creating portrait models.
Upgraded to PS 27.11.00.None of my saved Actions work. Bridge > Tools > PS > Batch > Action: “OPEN RAW to JPG” opens to a Desktop Folder instead of PS. Manually saved RAW to only option available… jxl .jxl now opens in Preview instead of PS. Don't know how to default to PS. Saved “save as” to .jpg PS does not recognize .jpg because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found. .jxl is not compatible with Topaz AIPlease advise… thank you… dw 🤙🏽
When I resize a floating window it's like the image follows the movement and sqeezes or stretches.See this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/aWNXhoBzp3I Obviously I've tried the classic tip for fixing every possible problem in Photoshop: reset the preferences. But it didn't work. My GPU is a RTX 5060 8GB and I'm using Windows 11.
Changing back to LEGACY Brightness & Contrast involves way too many steps. Please allow the legacy version to exist ALONGSIDE the new LIGHT feature. I can see how Light is beneficial for photo based users, but Brightness & Contrast is especially useful, in it’s traditional format, for design users etc.The workflow of clicking hamburger/legacy/2026 every single time is not at all productive for files that require multiple adjustment layers.(these tools and programs are meant to be an extension of ourselves and adding barriers between us and the tool breaks the seamless user experience).
As an amateur/hobbyist and retired poor person, it'd be so wonderful if there was a basic, more affordable version of Photoshop-only with maybe a few bells and whistles, but with the option to pay per extra bell/whistle. Photography is so important for my mental health, but I really struggle to afford my Adobe subscription. I’m sure other users can relate to this. This has potential to bring in many more users, I'm sure xx
Subscription services are gutting most of us. This year’s renewal will cost the entire profit of one of my two freelance jobs this year. Although new tools and features are nice, I can get by on older versions of the software for a while until I can afford the new version. Maybe once my work really takes off and this is a full time job, a subscription can be baked into the overhead.
An older version of Photoshop suddenly stopped printing to any output; printer, PDF, etc. Nothing had changed on the Mac, no new HW or updates. The print dialog allows me to adjust settings as does the Print Settings (see images below). However, once you press “Print” the job just disappears and never spawns the Print Center. I have followed all known solutions for this recurring bug, from the holding spacebar and hovering over File>Print to reinstalling the printer drivers and nothing works. I can print from every other app I use including Adobe Illustrator. Repaired the Mac using Onyx and Clean My Mac and rebooted multiple times but still no solution to this issue.
