Photoshop

The system is running an up-to-date version of Windows 10 with the latest Nvidia Studio drivers. The Shadows/Highlights settings dialog has always provided a live preview while moving the sliders, provided the live preview option was enabled. Since the latest update to PS 27.8, however, the live preview no longer appears as soon as a slider is clicked or activated with the mouse. The preview remains hidden for as long as the slider is being moved or remains active; the preview only appears once the slider is released.  

I’m always looking for ways to make my Photoshop workflow faster. What shortcut do you use the most?

Windows 11 64 but, 128 Gb RAMWhen invoking Photoshop 27.9.1 from Lightroom Classic 15.5, Photoshop hangs after “Initializing tools” and never recovers. Have to have Photosop running before invoking it from LR and then things run as they should. This is new - probably came with the latest release as it I used it not long ago calling PS from LR “Open as Layers".The workaround is to have PS running before trying to call it from LR but this bug should be fixed. thanks and regards André

This is using a fairly new Mac M5 Max laptop with Lightroom Classic and Photoshop installed. Everything was “normal” as of a month ago (I normally work on images in Classic, then Edit in Photoshop to print, and I’d done some prints on this system, with the latest Tahoe and Adobe software, at that point).This week, I went to make more prints, and now: Edit in Photoshop, from Classic, is “broken”: the image in Photoshop is lighter and desaturated. No way around this from the Lightroom side: any attempt at changing settings; or bypassing the direct Edit In step by saving to a JPG or TIFF; produces the same results. (I’m a color management expert, this isn’t “user error” by a novice).Next step was to try on a different system. I have a Mac M4 Max laptop that’s running the latest version of Sequoia - not updated to Tahoe - with the same current version of Photoshop and Lightroom Classic installed. Moved my external drive (images and catalog) to that system, tried it: everything works fine,

포토샵으로 그림을 그리는 사람입니다. 평소 빠른 속도로 단축키를 통해 도구를 바꿔가며 작업을 합니다.그러다보면 매번 빠르면 30~40분 이내로 도구 사용이 엄춰집니다. 단축기를 통해 도구는 바꿀 수 있지만 마우스 커서 아이콘만 뜨고 브러쉬나 돋보기나 도구 사용을 못하게 됩니다. 이런 경우 어떻게 해결하나요?  +클립스튜디오보다 브러쉬로 그림을 그릴 때 렉이 쉽게 걸리고 제 속도를 프로그램이 따라오지 못하는 경우가 많습니다. 이럴 경우에도 어떻게 해결하면 좋을까요?

updated drivers and reinstalled the photoshop app by issue persists 

Hey there!   I'm trying to open Photoshop after updating to Windows 11, and it will open until Finding System Profiles, then it will just quit, we have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, nothing.   Not sure what I can do to help this get past this screen!  

I have had this issue for the past two major PS updates. I am unable to import or place video files in PS anymore. I am currently on PS version 21.0.1 now with the issue still not resolved for me.   Before this last update, I even had an Adobe tech support agent remote in and he could not solve the issue and told me that, "they were able to reproduce the issue, and that we are working on the fix and the issue would be resolved in the next update".   I have "literally" pretty much gone down every road imaginable. All except wiping my Mac and starting from scratch. I have installed and reinstalled PS several times. I have deleted preferences from everywhere that they can hide. I have tried creating a new profile, changed security settings.   I am supremely confident that it's not a video file format issue. Because files that I had used in the past will no longer work.   It's crazy. One morning video files could be imported to create&

Photoshop generative AI has gone completely off the rails suddenly? Just last week i was working on a project restoring some old photos. I used simple prompts along the lines of “restore this photo and preserve all facial features” etc. and it worked absolutely perfectly. I came back to it today and all of a sudden it is generating bizarre overlays. Like a green box. Or a dirty machine parts. Or a flower. Or a made up face. What is it, did they break their LLM over the weekend?? 

This happens when I highlight a section of text, go to Character, type a font name, and press Return (Enter). The text block then turns completely grey, and I have to find a way to turn it off. Sometimes it even gets stuck on the screen when I minimize Photoshop.I just bought a new Mac Air M5 expecting a better experience than my old Windows laptop, but then I ran into this bug. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it? It's really ruining my experience on Mac.I’m using Photoshop version 27.9.1If I don't search for fonts and just select them manually, it doesn't happen.Someone literally told me to '"just quit the habit of searching for fonts." and I was like, 'WTF is that?" I shouldn't have to change my entire workflow just because of a bug. 

Since updating to 27.5 yesterday I’m encountering a bug where when I switch between channels of a Curves adjustment layer the active point is deselected. This breaks flow and slows down the process of getting the color right, which for me typically involves bouncing back and forth between 2 or all 3 color channels (working in RGB) and making one or two point adjustments with the arrow keys.  To reproduce:Make a new Curves layer Add a point somewhere in the middle of each of the R, G, and B channels.  Press Opt + 3, 4, or 5 to switch between the channels.  Prior behavior: you would still have selected and active the same, nth point on the curve. So, if you were on the Red channel and had tweaked a point in the middle, then switched to Blue which you hadn’t touched yet, you’d have the 255,255 point active since it was the second point on the curve. Once all three channels had a point though, switching between them would keep the midpoint selected for tweaking with the arrow keys. Current

Please see attached word documment along with screen shots.  Many thanks.

Cannot open PS current version message says "Catch in IPhotoshopApplication, exception encountered: require fed" (IphotoshopApplication is all one word)please help

Everything was working fine, but now I am unable to use the generative fill feature in both Photoshop and Illustrator, as it says "Please check the internet connection and try again". Attaching the screenshot for your reference. Would be great if someone could help.Thank you 🙂

Hello,Recently I have noticed that when I select a menu, or a drop down menu, there is a brief freeze and lag.This lag vanishes with Windows Ink is disabled, BUT, then I lose all pressure sensitivity.The lag isnt there when I roll over menus, but is when they are clicked.I am on Windows 11, using a Wacom Intuos Pro LRG (and older model: PTH-851) 

I've just updated to Photoshop and now I can't drag anything with the move tool inside the canvas, nothing is locked, Auto-select is active. I also can't drag layers in the layer panels to re-order them. It was working fine, and suddenly move tool stopped working, the same with the layers panel, If i try to drag any layer, cursor changes to the hand icon and inmediately changes back to the arrow cursor with no result at all.

When trying to open Photoshop (any version) the splash screen opens as usual but when it goes away nothing happens, no background task or anthing, Photoshop completely crashes. The splash sceen always dissapears at the same mesage, roughly translated from german it says “calculating memory/storage”.

Does anyone know why all of a sudden (it came out of nowhere, but I've been dealing with it all month) I am getting a Couldn't find background to remove when I try to use the Remove Background tool?  

I open PS and amend a photo in ACR. But when I then go to open the file in PS the photo appears all bleached out. This happens also if I open a photo in ACR and don’t amend it. I’ve looked at the colour space and they are the same. This has happened recently, within the last week as prior to this everything was working perfectly

I have been editing flowers for over a month with absolutely no problem and all of a sudden I am getting shadowing appearing when painting back in on a mask layer. The only way to avoid is to leave a large gap around the edges which is totally useless and before I could paint right up to the edges of leaves.my process is1 open photo2 overlay a texture background (using pace embedded as Jo other way currently works with my version3 Add a mask layer4 set opacity of overlay to around 40%select mask layer and paint over parts of flower I want to see - before I could go right up to edge of leaves with no problem5 select texture layer and adjust opacity until desired effectworked perfect until today and now if I go anywhere near the edges of the flower, a shadow appears outside the edge and on the background texture :(any tips on what I might have accidentally switched on would be gratefully receivedthanks in advance 

Hello,The title said it all.Steps to reproduce:1. make a document with Grayscale color mode (or convert it via Image>Mode>Grayscale)2. Add a Levels adjustment layer.​​​​​​​3. record an action of you changing the sliders on the Levels adjustment layer.4. change those values first, then try playing the action.5. Result: it does nothing! (but such an action works on an RGB Document for example).Besides that, RGB documents, for instance, allow the creation of a Levels adjustment layer with given values in a single executeaction step. that doesn’t work on Grayscale documents.

My Photoshop shuts down the second I open it.

Photoshop doesn’t save imported brushes, patterns, text styles, or gradient maps. They disappear after I reopen Photoshop, so I have to import them again. PS 27.4.0, Mac M1 Pro.
