When I create a droplet in Photoshop 2025, it creates a folder instead of an EXE file. What is the solution?

I am unable to use the Remove Tool with "Process on device" enabled in Photoshop 27.8.0.My system appears to meet the hardware requirements:CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus RAM: 64 GB GPU: Intel integrated graphics Intel AI Boost NPU detected correctly by Windows DirectX feature level: 12.2 OpenCL: 3.0 Intel graphics driver: 32.0.101.8864 (2026-07-17)The issue appears to be related to GPU identification inside Photoshop.Photoshop System Info reports:GPUName:Intel(R) GraphicsIdentification:Intel(R) Graphics UNKNOWN, INTELSniffer output:Device:Intel(R) GraphicsPower Envelope:UNKNOWNAttachment:UNKNOWND3D-ID:32103 (0x7D67)Windows identifies the hardware as:PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7D67The GPU works correctly for Photoshop acceleration:isGPUCapable = 1 isGPUAllowed = 1 IsNativeGPUCapable = 1 IsOpenCLGPUCapable = 1The local AI components are installed:OpenVINO Intel GPU plugin OpenVINO Intel NPU plugin ONNX RuntimeHowever, Remove Tool → Process on device is unavailable.Could you please check wh

I'm using the latest Photoshop 2025 (as well as the latest suite of other products) on a Windows 10 laptop.  I use Adobe Camera RAW and then Photoshop to edit RAW files.  Often, I want to rename a directory where I've saved files to.  However, even when I completely exit out of Photoshop, Windows will not allow me to rename the folder, as it claims it is in use.  And, yes, when I try to rename the folder, I don't have any files opened within it, and aren't otherwise in it.  The only solution is to reboot.  Why the heck is Adobe holding onto the folder locks after I exit the program, and how can I prevent this from happening in the future?

I don’t want Firefly, will not be using it (explicitly), and wish it was not involuntarily installed.Even if I can’t control what Adobe installs on this box, I’d like to hide it completely. PhotoShop and the rest already have incredibly cluttered interfaces full of low-contrast icons and tiny text. Adding even more clutter is not, not, not an improvement.(I say “explicitly” because presumably some kind of ML is going to be involved in operations like resizing images whether I like it or not, but you could at least make it transparent, not a distraction.)

When I open photoshop, everything works normally, until I press CTRL or shift or Alt, where all my commands stop working.When I press, for example Ctrl+Z to undo. When I try using Shift to sleect a layer. When i use ALT+TAB to change window.The errors are. Can’t use space bar to move canva. Can’t select more than one layer with Shift. Mouse can’t paint with the brush. Can’t create a clipping mask wiht Alt. Just the few that i tried using.I had the same mistake a couple days ago, and i solved it by pressing both shift for 5 seconds, and everything was working accordingly. I tried using the same trick to “fix it” and it doesnt work.Last time i uninstalled photoshop 3 times and it didnt work neither.

Hi everyone,I need to resize several high-resolution photos for website use, but some of them become slightly blurry after resizing and exporting.What is the best Photoshop workflow for reducing image dimensions while keeping the details sharp? I normally export the images as WebP or JPEG. Any recommended settings would be helpful.Thanks!

Im trying to match a background on a product shot with the gradient tool, I cant seem to sample the colours from the background with the gradient tool, I cant find the foreground to background colour option any more, and if I try to sample with the eyedropper from the gradient properties tab the properties tab disappears when I make the  gradient layer invisible so  all I can sample is the gradient layer and not the background layer. Im sure I used to set the gradient colours by double clicking on the little preview graphic of it top left, but that doesn't seem to work anymore?

after bridge updated to 16.0.6.9 and photoshop(27.8.0) started it completely remove all my custom actions 

The weird halo appears around anything I have scanned and separated from background using channels.

I am converting a large number of files (.ai and .psd) to .png. Within Photoshop, I can do this efficiently using automation tools. The only problem is that when I convert a tranche of files, I am noticing that the height and width of the first image in the batch is being imposed on the other images in that batch. Example: If the first image is 5 x 1 in, those dimensions are applied to every other image in that batch after conversion. Desired behavior is that each image should keep its original dimension. I understand how to do this when converting images one-by-one, but how can I prevent this when working in batches? Thank you. 

Thanks to everyone who took part in our previous SFTW259 ‘lock gate’ challenge.This week I heard Bob Marley’s ‘Stir it up’ and, once that ear-worm had taken hold, I had to base our starter image on something connected. I found this whisk as a 3D model, in Adobe 3D assets, and I textured it using Adobe Substance Painter.The challenge is, what can you make with the whisk?The “rules”:Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry. Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc. Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”. The challenge is not limited to Photoshop. Any Adobe software can be used.  There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go! The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only. To download the star

I wanted to better understand the commercial usage of Adobe Firefly, especially when it comes to client work. If I generate images using Firefly, can I safely use them for paid projects like social media ads, website creatives, or marketing campaigns without running into any licensing issues?I’ve read that Firefly is trained on licensed and public domain data, but I’m still unclear about a few things do I need a paid Adobe subscription for commercial use, or is the free version also acceptable? Are there any restrictions when creating content for brands or businesses, and can clients claim full ownership of the generated visuals?I run a digital marketing agency and plan to use Firefly for client creatives, so I want to ensure I’m fully compliant before scaling. I’d really appreciate insights from anyone who has practical experience using Firefly professionally.

I need to retouch a drone image of an empty road to add cars. Generative Fill does a believable job, but only if I do one at a time – I can’t select a section of road and ask to add multiple cars at once. That’s okay, I’m happy to do them one-by-one, however a major problem is PS will ALWAYS point the cars in the wrong direction for Australian driving conditions, with RHDrive cars that drive on the left side of the road. In this case, it’s not simply a case of doing a horizontal flip to mirror the image. I’ve tried a number of ways to specify the prompt, e.g. ‘white car driving towards the left edge of the image’, or ‘white car driving on left hand side of road’ or ‘white car driving on road in Australia with tail lights visible’. PS refuses to do it. When I use ‘… headlights visible’ or ‘… tail lights visible’ … it will put headlights or tail lights on the front and the back of the car.Any help here most appreciated – I have many photos to update in the same manner and it will be a ve

Hello everyone,I want to create a script to reset the settings of the currently-selected brush to its saved defaults that I can later hotkey or whatever.- I tried finding the index of the currently-selected brush and selecting based on that, but I was not able to do that successfully.- I tried to write scripts for “Next Brush” and “Previous Brush” to call them in succession in the script, but I was also not able to do that (I don’t want to be sending their hotkeys as they can be mapped differently per user).Is there any way to achieve what I’m looking for? 

Can't paint an additive (white) brush on any masking layers (adjustment or generative fill). Subtractive painting works fine, but the additive painting is not working. Brush is pure white, normal blend mode, masking layer selected.

Steps to reproduce:1. Open Photoshop v27.x on Windows 11.2. Open any image (8-bit PNG/JPG).3. Go to Image > Adjustments > Exposure...4. Move the Exposure slider (for example, +0.5).5. Observe the Gamma Correction slider: it instantly jumps to 0.01 and the preview becomes heavily distorted.Actual result:Gamma Correction resets to 0.01 automatically after moving the Exposure slider, producing a washed-out / broken preview.Expected result:Gamma should remain stable or adjust smoothly; it should not reset to an extreme value.System info:- Photoshop version: 27- OS: Windows 11- GPU: RTX 5070 (12GB)- GPU acceleration: Enabled- Bit depth: 8 bits/channel

The only drawing program that this happens on is photoshop, even programs not really made for drawing have a more smooth/responsive brush.When i opened up paint and just scribbled some lines in it i realized how smoother it is compared to photoshop, then i opened Clip Studio Paint and it was the same, it was way smoother than Photoshop, i can’t just ignore it at this point its too annoying and i don’t  know if this problem only affects me or its a photoshop issueThings I Tried that did not fix it: Disable GSYNC Change Scratch disks Smoothing is not even on Rolling back to older versions(Present in CS6 I tried photoshop ME7 and it did not have this issue, but its too old) Small brush, big brush, small canvas, big canvas, none of it makes a difference The MS Paint cursor is not visible because of compression but the brush stroke was following it seamlessly  

Operation was cancelled. Could not download "book.psdc" because of an unexpected error. Please try again. i am getting this error. in photoshop online but i want that file. its urgent.

Hi ​@Sameer K ​@Srishti Bali Allow me to share more genius moves by Adobe . On Adobe home page, you have to guess that the community page can be accessed by clicking on the little question mark circle, very user friendly ! Once you're on the community page, what’s one the first things one would like to see? The previous / current posts one participated in; so you click on the profile avatar, and you get there, right? no! Adobe has made the ingenious move of putting only the count for AI credits (because only this matters) there, because it’s the money that counts? Well done, Adobe; you keep surprising us. 

The Reflection Removal tool in the top menu simply stays greyed out so I can’t invoke it. The attached shows this clearly.  Note that the reflection itself is not visible as it occurs on the right side of the picture

When running large batch jobs getting "Could not complete the command because there is not enough memory (RAM)" using Photoshop 2026 (2.8.0). Makes large batch jobs difficult in the extreme and was never, ever an issue in Photoshop 2025.
