Photoshop

A weird thing that logically shouldn’t happen is happening. I’ve been told that Windows natively has no ability to display Photoshop thumbnails when viewing PSD files in the file browser. Most of my PSD's accordingly when viewed display as the blue Photoshop PS icon, however randomly in my sync’d OneDrive folder some (not all) PSD’s display thumbnail previews of the actual PSD's contents. They display the same as a jpg thumbnail preview.I never installed anything special to make that happen. I don’t have an third party PSD thumbnail viewing programs/apps installed. So something else must be going on here. Is it something to do with the fact it’s a OneDrive folder? But if that’s the case why doesn’t it display thumbnails for all the PSD’s? The file type is exactly the same between PSD’s that do display thumbnails and PSD’s that don’t.Wondering if anyone has any clue what’s going on here.

The checkered transparency grid appears in chunks of my brush strokes when using the basic round with opacity pressure enabled. I thought it might be my GPU, I wiped it clean and reinstalled drivers–nothing. I’ve re-installed Photoshop, and even downgraded to the 2021 versions, still nothing. It can’t be my monitor because I am able to screenshot the checkers, and others are able to see it. When exporting what’s on screen as an image, the checkers disappear. I’ve tried other basic things such as a new canvas, copy pasting the background color on a layer above, and so on. It seems to be something with the viewer itself and it or some aspect of Photoshop’s relation with my GPU. There are two workarounds I have found but neither seem to solve the actual problem. The first and most digestible solution is disabling the grid altogether. It’s not ideal but in my limited use of the toggle, I can paint without the visual disruption. As further proof of it truly being the grid, it scales with my

I’m having an issue with Photoshop 2026 showing a “Time Limit” prompt. I have an active Photography Subscription (Lightroom + Photoshop), and my payments are up to date. I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop, but the Time Limit warning still appears.

It seems to be taking a really long time for Photoshop to finish saving a photo with actions applied. It never used to take more than a few seconds to save, but recently it is taking several minutes or longer to save back to Lightroom and gets stuck at like 98% saved. Would it be best to just re-install photoshop?   {Thread renamed by moderator}

I’m trying to export multiple images based on 2 groups that have clipping masks. Essentially it’s for sports broadcast, with 1 team on each side of the mask. My problem is that I have 100+ teams/images in each group, so potentially 10,000 combos. Is there a script available that would allow me to batch export every possible combo so I don’t ya e to do 1 at a time as the season goes on?? TIA

Hello,I have a "problem" opening my 16 bits Tiff files in Photoshop, exported from Hasselblad .3f files in Phocus software. If I export my files in Phocus, in a large color profile like Prophoto RGB, open this 16 bits TIFF in photoshop, this images have much less contrast then in Phocus. Colors look the same but contrast is very different. But if I export in Adobe RGB in Phocus, I can see my images in Photoshop exactly like I can see in Phocus, no problem, as if I open in others applications like Preview (non color manage apps), same image as in Phocus. My monitor is calibrated, and I tried with other monitor profiles but still the same loss of contrast. I have turn off “precise color management for HDR displays” in Technology Previews and use an iMac 27”, latest Photoshop. Same thing happen in my laptop (MacBook Air) with older Photoshop version. I am doing something wrong?Thank you!Tiago Garcia

I have the most recent updated version of Adobe Photoshop as of January 29th 2026 ( Version 27.3.0 release)  I created a file and save a copy as Photoshop EPS.  I’ve sent it to a printing company to print and they can't open it.  So I tried to open it right after I saved it in photo shop and I get the error Could not open “WinnerBackdrop copy.EPS” because Photoshop was unable to parse the PostScript. Something is wrong when I save a file in photo shop and it can’t open it back up?  Please help!

Using the new AI Object Masking/Tracking function, can I lift the foreground masked object to its own layer, and have AI fill the background on the layer below, and disable viewing the masked area layer, as if nothing was in the foreground? Like moving an undesired figure from a photo, except in motion?Best as always,Loren

Hello allI have 2 questions pleaseFirst is that in Photoshop CS 5,  I have NO problem copying half top of a screenshot and pasting it on SELECTED area of the bottom of screenshot, flipping it, and use opacity to fade it out and then using combo of ripple and ocean ripple to create realistic reflection . I have been told many times by experts that Photoshop Elements 2023 can do precisely same job as more powerful Photoshop CS 5.0  so I did the same thing in the Elements 2023.  It works well EXCEPT opacity does NOT work.  When I use it, it creates black and white checkerboard instead of fading out.  It can work with opacity if I paste normally on bottom of the screenshot and flip it and use opacity to fade out BUT BUT opacity NEVER NEVER works if I paste onto selection as seen on my screenshot.  Please advise?? Second question is that because Adobe refuses to allow me to install Photoshop CS 5.0 into my new laptop so that I can retire 10 year old laptop even though I gave the valid seria

I have noticed that after certain Adobe updates, some tools (like selection, brushes, or shortcuts) don’t behave exactly the same as before even though my preferences and workspace settings look unchanged.Is this due to under-the-hood improvements, performance optimizations, or compatibility adjustments?I am curious how other users handle this and whether there is a recommended way to keep workflows consistent after updates.Has anyone else experienced this, and how do you usually adapt or troubleshoot it?

It crashes at apparent random moments, only on bigger files.

why is it if i open an image in PS which has a dpi of 300 (image sourced from Shutterstock), work on the image and then use Export As JPG, the resulting ppi is 72 according to PS. I checked my Export Prefs and they are set to JPG and 100 for quality, so why does it export as 72 and not 300? I need to supply images in my document at 300dpi not 72dpi

When I click liquify and try to edit it won’t let me save it, or cancel. I have done updates, restarts, etc. 

I am using an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card but in photoshop, when I try to use camera raw, I get an error message saying that graphics processor acceleration is required. The graphics card drivers have been updated recently. I see that there is an option to use the graphics processor in the preferences settings but this is greyed out. Any ideas please?

Why?

I have since reinstalled photoshop twice, but to no avail. What’s going on? Is that a prank??

I have my reg key for PS CS6 but the email address I registered with adobe is no longer available and I don't remember it. I am trying to find a way to back into the old account or find the install file for PSCS6. Help?

I am trying to remove a stop light from an image, but when I apply the brush it erases but leaves behind streaks of the arch as well as white strip. Any idea why the brush would leave a white strip or copy other parts of the arch? Previously, this image here was copied from the similar arch and laid on top with the move tool. 

I do sky replacements, and I always use the same parameters. But I can’t get Photoshop to apply them, either batch, action, script, nothing works. It always defaults to the basic sky replacement values, and I have to tweak them one by one which is useless if I have may images to do. I’ve tried coding a Jsx file, still no luck, made a lot of tweaks, nothing. No idea why this issue persists. It’s a cool tool, but to be honest not being able to batch it is a HUGE let down. Any help is appreciated// =======================================================var idskyReplacement = stringIDToTypeID( "skyReplacement" );    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();    var idshiftEdge = stringIDToTypeID( "shiftEdge" );    desc.putDouble( idshiftEdge, -0.200000 );    var idborderSmoothness = stringIDToTypeID( "borderSmoothness" );    desc.putInteger( idborderSmoothness, 70 );    var idBrgh = charIDToTypeID( "Brgh" );    desc.putInteger( idBrgh, 32 );    var idtemperature = stringIDToTypeID( "temperature" )

Help! My hotkeys seem to have siuddenly broken.The basic function of making a lasso selection and using Shft+Ctrl+C to make a merged copy of the layers in the selection is no longer working. Instead it opens some weird chat / dialogue box that I've never seen or used before.I can still use this function if I go to the Edit menu and select Copy Merged but the hotkey doesn't work.

Hi, I have a Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro tablet with 16 GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 8 S Gen 3 CPU, and on Google Play it tells me that I cannot install Photoshop Mobile because it’s not compatible. If I try to install it manually, it doesn’t work either. Could you provide information on whether this is temporary? According to the technical requirements needed for the app to run, this tablet should have more than enough power.
