Photoshop

In mac If i click the window below, the active window goes to the back, and the other window comes to the front.I wish it worked like Windows. 

yesterday Photoshop started opening the color settings dialog box every time I open it. Every single time PS launches this dialog box comes up. Any idea why this is happening?  

This is the screen i get after clicking select and mask 

When I launch Photoshop 2024 on Mac Sonoma,  a pop up says "Shift your perspective and hone in on edits by rotating the canvas." If I click "No thank you" the button changes color, but nothing happens to the pupup. If I click "Get started" the button changes color but nothing happens. Quitting Photoshop renders it unresponsive, Force Quit will close the app. Upon re-launching Photoshop, I'm presented with the same popup again, which will not go away. I have a deadline and can't finish my work.

My Photoshop Editing Workflow Question When I’m editing in Photoshop, I retouch the original image and save it. Sometimes I’ll then create a second version — for example, a different crop or a black-and-white edit.To avoid overwriting the first file, I add a suffix to the filename before saving the second version. On my Apple computer, when I go to save the new version, the cursor doesn’t automatically move to the end of the filename. Instead, it highlights the entire filename (everything before the .jpg extension). See attached image. Years ago the cursor would automatically land at the end of the filename, just before .jpg, which made adding a suffix much faster. Does anyone know how I can change this setting or fix the issue?

I am requesting the integration of true agentic AI workflows and granular spatial control into Adobe's generative ecosystem. The current text-to-image capabilities must evolve from basic prompting to skill-based, autonomous execution to meet professional demands.Specific feature requirements include: Agentic Control & Skill Modules: The ability to assign specific "skills" or autonomous workflows to the AI. The system should understand multi-step instructions, retain context across iterative edits, and execute complex compositing or design tasks as an autonomous agent. Absolute Spatial & Angle Control: Generative models must support exact camera angles, focal lengths, and spatial positioning. I need the ability to instruct the AI to generate or rotate a specific subject from a precise perspective (e.g., a 45-degree high-angle shot) with exact precision, rather than relying on prompt roulette. State-of-the-Art Architecture: Implementation of the latest AI advancements, includ

Hello, When i open Filter>Render I can't find the light effect filter anymore. I had a quick search online but i can't find a recent article about it. Anyone can help me find a way to get it back? Thank you in advance

I’m getting this specific error when using the shape tool and then clicking “Merge shape components”. It doesn’t happen with any other shape layer that I have and I can’t understand why. If I remove 2 shapes (e.g. both eyebrows), I can suddenly merge them. If I remove just 1 eyebrow (no matter which one), then I still get the error, which suggests that this is an “interaction bug”. If remove the hair but leave the eyebrows the problem goes away. I get a similar problem also when right-clicking on the shape layer, then clicking “CopySVG”. I don’t get the problem if I export the shape layer with “Paths To Illustrator”, which generates the “.ai” file, which can then be exported as an SVG from Illustrator. Have you ever encountered this problem? If yes, do you know how to solve? This looks like a bug anyway, maybe a numerical problem. If not, then the error message should be a better one. Here’s my setup Photoshop version: 26.9.0 Scripting version: 26.9 OS: macintosh os 15.6.1/64   

I want to replicate the vector mask effect of a Photoshop layer on a web page and need to obtain the image of the vector mask.how to get vector mask image or vector data  

I have a layer comp created that I am using for versioning banner ads. My Layer Comp is exporting the name of each layer in the layer comp at the end of a numerical sequence. I would like to eliminate that portion of the automatically created file names. So from thisad_300x250_0001_ABC to ad_300x250_ABC i found a similar question and answer but it was 8 years old and did not work. Remove number sequence when "Export layers to files"

HelloI've been using Generative Fill with Google Nano Banana Pro in Photoshop for photo editing, and it's been extremely unreliable today (February 17, 2026). Yesterday it worked fine, but now it's mostly failing. I get the error: "Could not complete your request because of a program error" almost every time.Out of ~50 attempts today, it succeeded only a few times (maybe 3–5), and even then it took much longer than usual to load/complete.I've burned through around 2000 credits in the process (heavy retries).Other models in the same dropdown (e.g., Flux, Kontext, or Firefly Pro) work normally and generate quickly/reliably.In the standalone Firefly web app, Nano Banana Pro generations are also very slow (long progress bars), but they eventually complete after waiting a long time. What I've already tried (no improvement):Downgraded Photoshop from 27.3.1 to 27.3Purged all caches (Edit > Purge > All,Signed out/in of Creative Cloud.Tested on different photos/prompts  This feels like a

I'm trying to scale down 32 layers (Smart Objects) down without them all collapsing in on the artboard. I want them to stay where they are in the columns and rows they are in. I know a decade ago, we had the Transform Each tool? Is that gone now?

I am having issues with my pc and might have to take in to where I bought it. If there is a chance that they need to reboot it, do I need to deativate my Photoshop so I can reinstall it back on my pc? 

Hey Adobe "geniuses,"WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH YOUR [removed] NEW VERSIONS?!?! Every time I try to MOVE or COPY ARTBOARDS, the program FREEZES for MINUTES on end—like it's taking a [removed] coffee break! Then, out of nowhere, this [removed] "MOVE" process dialog pops up like some [removed] error you forgot to fix.I NEVER had this [removed] in ANY previous version—ZERO issues, EVER! Now I'm TERRIFIED to even copy an artboard because Photoshop might CRASH and CORRUPT my whole [removed] file. Are you kidding me?!WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?! WHY does this [removed]persist through your so-called DAILY UPDATES?!You've had MONTHS to fix this garbage—stop ignoring us paying customers and TELL US: WHAT'S THE DEAL? FIX IT NOW  [abuse removed by moderator]

Where is the Magic Wand tool???? Its not beneath my object select, nor in my Essential Workspace. Tool presets states "cannot be found"

Hello! I've updated my Photoshop to the version 27.0 and unfortunately I can't check out the new functions. Both Flux Kontext/Nano Banana or Topaz Sharpening/Noise removal don't seem to function. It's behaving similarly to the day of the huge AWS breakdown - a window with a loading bar pops up, but it disappears halfway or like 75%, not having any effect. I've waited since friday to check it out again, but nothing has changed, I figured that maybe I don't have the necessary generative credits, but I'm not able to check the balance - the whole section in the top-right dropdown menu is not loading at all, the error says this section can't be loaded. Is anyone else experiencing issues like this?

In the past, I’ve been able to apply and edit strokes, color overlays, pattern overlays, drop shadows, etc, and see the changes before exiting the panel. Specifically was trying to move the pattern overlay around on the canvas before committing.Now, even with the checkbox ticked to preview changes, I can’t see anything I’m affecting until I confirm the Layer Style. Basically designing blind.Is this a bug?MacOS Tahoe 26.2Photoshop 27.3.0

I’ve printed the descriptor of a text layer and it has 2 “textStyleRange”. In the first one, the color in the “textStyle” is like this "color": {    "objectType": "RGBColor",    "value": {        "red": 242.96399384737,        "grain": 231.608835160732,        "blue": 124.368603229523    }} and in the other it looks like this"color": {    "objectType": "RGBColor",    "value": {        "redFloat": -0.1768099963665,        "greenFloat": 0.65371006727219,        "blueFloat": 0.70756006240845    }} It seems that, if I clamp/clip the values redFloat, greenFloat and blueFloat to the range [0, 1] and then scale them to [0, 255], I get the RGB values I see in the Photoshop UI, but I don’t know if this is the correct and reliable way of converting them to [0, 255]. By clamping, I mean that I set them to zero, if they are less than 0, and set them to 1 if they are greater than 1. Does anyone know if this documented somewhere and if this is the correct/reliable way of doing it? I need all colors

Cropping individual layers as a default option and if I want to crop the whole canvas then we should select all layers.I’m finding it difficult to follow steps for cropping a single image and feel this should be the default option when looking to crop something.

This is RBG color with Lighten Blend Mode. It disappeared with white color BG but it is visible with black color BG. What is the reason? Video also uploaded.   

This has got to do with Photoshop App Crashes when hitting the Print Button.I have 2 PCs both running Photoshop 2025 and 2026 running on Windows 11.The odd thing is I can print out a file in one PC but not on another PC. It crashes every time I hit the print button in the Print Menu.To divert but with the same problem I experienced is with a Canon Scanner which I was unable to print a perfect image as it comes out with a thick 1cm black line vertically right in the middle of the image. I had brought this to the attention of Canon and Microsoft. Canon replied that the model has no update on the driver and MS never replied. A year later… odd as it seems….. my Canon Lide 110 just sprang back to life and scanning was perfect.Now who to point the finger to. I suspect the frequent updatings on the app and windows may have an effect on this.Anyway…. this is something to probe into. regardsLong time user since PS started.

Dear Adobe Community (and especially qualified developers or support engineers),I'm experiencing severe performance issues in the latest Photoshop versions when copying or moving artboards: the application hangs for several minutes, followed by a "MOVE" process dialog that disrupts workflow entirely. This renders basic operations unreliable, and I'm now hesitant to use the feature for fear of file corruption.In Photoshop 2018, the exact same function worked flawlessly—100x smoother, with no freezes, no dialogs, and instantaneous results. Why has this regressed so dramatically in newer releases, despite ongoing updates? What specific changes (e.g., in rendering engine, memory management, or UI handling) caused this, and why hasn't it been addressed?Could someone qualified from Adobe please provide a detailed, credible response? Your users deserve transparency on this ongoing problem.I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP—IT NEVER SOLVES THE ISSUE. I ONLY WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED.Thank you.
