Photoshop

Did Adobe break something in Photoshop 2025? I updated it a couple days ago and now the Brightness and Contrast settings won't preview in the box. The effects will work on an image but I can't tell what I'm doing without the preview sliders. Already wiped preferences and reset them- same problem. I normally have the graphics processor turned off on this machine- have to turn it back on for this function to work correctly and this is not ideal. I use 2025 on this particular workstation for reasons, I know a newer Photoshop is available. 

Hello,I am taking a self-guided course on layers and keep running into a problem. The course says to select the layer which is a smart object and then use the brush tool to paint over it. I keep receiving the dialog box 'This smart object must be rasterized before proceeding.' When I choose to do that, the brush color does not change the color of what I'm trying to paint. What can I do to edit the smart object with a brush?

Can someone direct me to any recent information about this issue, or what I should be looking for? I'm struggling to find information about it, I'm not technical but I can usually dig in and figure out and fix something, and I've hit a wall. Maybe I don't know what to search for? I find comments alluding to it. I think I'm trying to find some kind of troubleshooting steps to narrow down if something in my OS has changed or where the problem could be. It seems other people have experienced it because I did find a suggestion to move the settings files. I obviously need them for what I'm working on, so I tried resetting my workspace and reimporting my presets but I'm having the same problem. Normally my next step would be to update photoshop but i'm intentionally one update behind and I don't dare since it seems to be a known bug in photoshop 26. This is a new issue, I used to be able to use illustrator and photoshop concurrently, super huge files without any problem, they never used

I want to create an Action (not a Batch file) that will change the image size and resolution of a .dng file and then do a Save As or Quick Export As or Export As that will stop to enter a file name and default to .jpg. This will work when not creating an Action but the Action will always default to a .psd file in the dialog box. I have tried the following online suggestions to default to .jpg and they all work when not using an Action but an Action will not create any file type other than .psd. 1. Preferences -> File Handling - check Enable Legacy "Save As"- Has no effect on Actions2. In Actions use Insert Menu Item and select Save A Copy or Export.- Quick Export is set to default to jpg but can not be selected in Menu Item and Export As will not default to .jpg type or use the image size and resolution already chnaged in Image Size. Furthermore there is no Resolution option in Export As and no ability to link Width and Height3. Change Background to Layer from Background a

Ya no se puede abrir video ProRes (MOV) 422, ni 444 en photoshop, el video sale en negro. en versiones anteriores sí se podía. por favor podrian corregir ese error?

Hi,I’m working with Photoshop Timeline animations that use Position / Transform keyframes on layers that are Smart Objects.The animation behaves correctly in the original document size.However, when I change the canvas size or aspect ratio (for example from horizontal to vertical), the animated Smart Object layers shift position and the animation no longer aligns as expected. The tracking appears to break even though no keyframes were edited manually.Details:The animated layers are Smart ObjectsAnimation is created using Timeline position/transform keyframesThe issue occurs specifically after Canvas Size or aspect ratio changesIt appears that keyframes are stored in absolute pixel coordinates, not relative valuesI have already tried:Closing the Timeline before resizingDifferent anchor pointsGrouping layersConverting layers or groups to Smart ObjectsUsing Image Size vs Canvas Size→ The behavior remains the same My questions:1. Is this a known limitation of Photoshop’s Timeline syst

When removing the background, this happens with every photo.The same error appears when using Object Removal as well.

Hi community,  I would say that I'm an intermediate Photoshop user, and with my use of Photoshop on a regular basis (architecture), I constantly face this puzzle : How to remove a uneven grey background, like this hand sketche photo, to keep only lines and maintain the fluidity and smoothness/expression of the lines ?Secondly, I have tons of sketches, does an action could automate this task ? (I didn't have good results with AI yet..) I must admit I would love to have a kind of 1 click magic trick here.  I saw this post : https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/62676/how-to-remove-neutral-background-in-photoshopYet still lots of steps and tweaking...  Thanks alotCC 

L'outil pour sélectionner rapidement un sujet sur PS 27.2 ne fonctionne pas pour moi. Je peux le faire manuellement mais je dois avouer que c'est beaucoup moins long avec le sélecteur automatique... J'ai rétrogradé à la version 27.1 et ça fonctionne parfaitement...

I'm running on MacOS 15.6.1 (24G90) with Photosho 27.2.0. Any idea how I would go troubleshooting this issue? 

The tool to remove generative AI in Photoshop gives an error.In Adobe Photoshop, the removal tool using generative artificial intelligence gives an error.Is anyone else experiencing this issue? When will this issue go away? I checked the Adobe Creative Cloud app, but there's no update. That green bar never fills. I wait, I wait, I wait for about 2-3 minutes and then it gives an error. photoshop 27.1  

Olá.Preciso do instalador offline oficial do Photoshop 24.5 para macOS Ventura.Meu equipamento não é compatível com versões mais recentes do Photoshop, e a Creative Cloud não exibe essa versão para instalação.Poderiam me fornecer o link direto oficial da Adobe ou o pacote DMG ou PKG dessa versão específica?Estou utilizando macOS Ventura em um equipamento que não suporta versões posteriores do Photoshop, mas a 24.5 atende perfeitamente ao meu fluxo de trabalho.Obrigado.

after updating photoshop to the latest verison my application is crashing when i use the text tool. the first time i used the text tool after the update it created a tightly bound box where it looked corrupt - layers of the grab handles one on top of the next - couldn't enter in any text, zoomed in and pulled the handles apart to make it usable. started to enter in text - crashed. rebooted the app and created a new text layer - which started normally - fake text to replace by typing - but once i started typing it crashed.  clearly something has gone terribly wrong with the latest update re the text tool. this needs to be fixed. nothing has changed my end - ONLY the update to photoshop.... my specs:photoshop version: 27.2.0OS version: sonoma 14.8.3

I frequently use the radial blur tool in PS and would love to see a reset button on the tool (similar to that on the curves tool etc.). This is because, when I have moved the centre point of the blur for one image, if I then open another image to apply a different radial blur, I have to close the whole app to get the middle of the blur to be at the centre of the image, and that is a big waste of time. Better yet, a button on the tool that allows the user to place the centre of the effect directly on the image in the workspace (similar to how the eyedropper tool can pick locations on an image). This kind of adaption would allow multiple repositioning attempts and take away the guesswork when moving the centre in the box on the pop-up window for the tool. 

Hello everyone!I'm new to this forum and eager to learn graphic design. I'm a beginner in this field, but I have some basic experience with Photoshop.I've taken on a new project where I need to replicate an existing design and print it, matching the colors as closely as possible to the original. During this "copying" process, I've run into a couple of problems I need help with.1. My biggest issue is that I can't seem to get the right shade of color. I've searched online but couldn't find a clear answer... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I need to learn more about color theory, specifically color mixing.2. I've realized that what I see on my screen doesn't match the final printed result. I understand that I probably need to set up an ICC profile and calibrate my monitor, but I'm not sure how to do it correctly. Are there any straightforward methods to achieve this, or is there another approach that could help me solve this color mismatch?For context, I'm using a standard Epson prin

I need to be able to see my guides when moving them into position, Yes, I've got my preferences set properly—I've been using PhotoShop since version 1.0 in 1990, so I'm somewhat familiar with the terrain.  I can see them when on a darker background because they're a white, closely-dotted line, but on a white backgound, they're entirely invisible, and its a huge worklflow disruption.  Is there a new setting somewhere I'm not seeing, or another workaround? Thanks.

Bonjour, Je souhaiterai enlever la lumière d'un rétro projecteur et rendre la photo plus naturelle et harmonieuse, est-ce possible ?Si oui, une petite idée de la manipulation à suivre pour le faire , je joins la photo en question. Merci à vous , bonne journée

I started a free photoshop 7 day trial. It was not the software I need. I logged into my account and it is not listed. I open the app on my mac and it shows the countdown to my charge date (7 days). It shows my account, its matches the one I'm signing into. Yet canceling it is not possible becuase it is not listed on my account. What do I do? 

Hello everyone,I think it would be a nice thing if everyone could see their account balance for premium feature credits directly in Photoshop. I find the current solution via Firefly to be very inconvenient. Kind regards,Thomas
