Photoshop

I previously had Photoshop v 21 installed on my work laptop, but I upgraded and the option to download it from Creative Cloud is no longer available. I mainly require the older version of Photoshop to generate simple normal maps for 3D models, and I'm currently using v 22.2. This version works fine, but I've encountered a few bugs where the only solution is to uninstall/reinstall which I've never encountered when I was working in v 21. I'm also concerned that since they discontinued the v 21 download that eventually 22.2 might be discontinued, and if I need to reinstall it every so often to solve bugs then there could be a chance I lose access altogether. Long story short, is there a way to download Photoshop v. 21? I talked to support chat and they're telling me they can only provide a direct download to Photoshop v 24.0.

Hello, I've used PS in my profession for many years and had a pause but now this year I got it again and downloaded this new version PS 2025 and it's absolutely trash, I'm sorry developers. I have the newest Macbook M4 and it slows my whole system down, the loading time is a nightmare it's like im suddenly in a early 2000's PC. I don't have many other apps on my system which would slow it down. It's an absolute nightmare and some features are gone for example the "circle" and magic wand is also gone, like really?I want the older version and don't this newest one. How do I download it?

I just purchased the PS (desktop version, Windows 11)  a few days ago.  Things look good until I experienced a very weird problem that when I used the remove tool. Using PS remove tool, I cannot select the area of the unwant object that I want to remove because everytime I click my mouse it always create a line, always and always, then the PS is freezed until I have to use the Windows task manager to shutdown this PS app. I'm not happy at all.

I am a new user of PS 2025. Every time I start up my PC and open PS, it crashes, so I close PS 2025. When I reopen PS 2025, it works fine. Does this sound familiar? And is there a possible cause? In any case, I know that my internet connection is max. 65MB and unfortunately I can't change that. 

I am on Windows 11, up to date version and as of today any white in my images are now blue. I've tried messing with colorspace settings, HDR on and off, recalibrating display, etc. and it does not change at all.  Randomly earlier I had my focus set to another program, and when clicking back in focus for Photoshop the white went back to normal. But after closing and opening Photoshop it went right back to the blue tint. Images export fine and the white shows as white but not in Photoshop itself. No clue what else to do to fix it permanently.

Hi all,On the left, there is a document-opening function. If a PDF was saved in Photoshop, it will open without any additional parameters. However, if the file was created in Illustrator or InDesign, the specified parameters will be applied when opening it. Now imagine a situation where layouts from a client come in different formats: some files were saved via Photoshop, others via Illustrator. Let’s say there are ten layouts in total, and five of them have different color modes, resolutions, and layer structures. In this case, during batch processing, you can’t be completely sure that each document will open with the desired settings — some may be opened while ignoring them. In my opinion, it’s not possible to change this behavior directly through JSX. However, this isn’t a major problem if you know exactly where the relevant data is stored. It’s possible to use a Node.js library to modify or remove the necessary entries before opening the document — most likely in the XMP m

In Photoshop 2026 there's a tutorial in the program called "Using layer masks". In it, the presenter explains how to create a layer mask on a green cup so that clouds from the image on the layer below becomes visible in the cup. Bottom layer is the clouds and above it is the layer with the teacup with the layer mask. There's a little chain icon between these two. So far so good. The tutorial then says you can even use adjustment layers on the layer mask. The presenter has the layer mask selected in the layers panel, clicks on Adjustments and selects Hue/Saturation. When she drags the saturation slider in Properties, the color of the clouds gets more intense, but the layer with the teacup is not affected. When I do this, both the teacup layer and the cloud layer are affected. What am I doing wrong? I know I can move the adjustment layer down so it sits above the layer I want adjusted, but that's not what the tutorial showed. The screenshot is from my layers panel after having appli

Help! My Photoshop is practically unusable. I use it all day, every day for my job and am wasting about an hour- two hours a day trying to reopen, shutting down my PC and resetting preferences in order for it to work, only for it to inevitably break again about an hour after.  I have attached a screenshot of the toolbar issue. Sometimes, my toolbar icons are just missing, and I will have to reset my preferences and shut down in order to get them back. Sometimes that doesn't wor,k and I will have to shut down my pc or close and reopen Photoshop a fair few times until they come back. After about 6-10 uses, Liquify will refuse to open, so I will have to shut down Photosho,p and usually when I reopen it I get the toolbar issue and it is all just a vicious cycle.  This last week it is has also started crashing when I try to open it, so I need to try and open it a few times before it fully loads up, Any help with these issues and i would be much appreciated

Please help me. The eye drop tool on my computer with the latest version 26.11 does not work. For example, when I select a rectangle and click on the gray color in the background, the rectangle does not change color. It happens with all objects from text to squares, circles, etc. I can only change the color of an object using the blend tool, and I have to copy the color code, but the eye drop on the blend tool does not work either.

I did this once and i cannot remember how, it is driving me nuts.I have a tshirt business and i need to create mockups of the same tshirt with different imagesI have an image of a tshirt (1500 px x 1500 px) White background (JPG).I have a folder with 200 PNG's images (transparent) all different sizes but smaller than the shirtI need to create an action and run a batch or script, so i can have all the images of the shirt and each design.I know that i did it once, I have more than 3000 images like that, we add new shirts and designs, and i need to figure out how to do it again. PLEASE anyone

As a UXP plugin developer, I’m currently working on a hardware device and its corresponding plugin for Photoshop to enhance the user experience. I suggest that the brush tool option can place the "active" color on the cursor icon.This functionality would allow the brush cursor to visually display the current brush color while painting. By integrating a color preview directly into the cursor, users could focus solely on the canvas without needing to frequently glance at the color swatch to confirm the selected color. This addition would greatly streamline the painting workflow and improve overall usability.Looking forward to your feedback or any plans to implement this feature!

Hello,i know that there's another post with this title but it was not answered.I have many images with the same smart object "place linked".After editing the original file the update is not shown to any of the images using it and the layer of the smart object has the yellow sign.If I click on "update modified content" the update is shown normally.The fact is that I don't want to open each file manually every time I make an update to the original linked one.What is going on?Thank you

I'm getting so annoyed by Adobe and their products. I've been using Photoshop professionally for over 15 years in combination with Wacom. Every other update the pressure sensitivity stops working and it renders my wacom tablet almost useless. It seems you guys cannot get an update right straight away, there's always issues and it's killing the workflow of creative professionals who use your products and pay a lot every day.  Once again the pressure sensitivity of my Wacom Intuos Pro tablet has stopped working. I do NOT wish to use Windows Ink, as whenever I use Windows Ink and draw pressing shift for example, there's this annoying small popup next to where my cursor is. This is making drawing practically impossible. In the previous version of Photoshop the pressure sensitivity was working just fine, after the update it stopped working. Previously there was this fix creating a PSUserConfig.txt file, this seems to be impossible now as the Adobe Settings fold

I have an image that is 23.472 in x 17.611 in, 72ppi.  I wanto crop the image and have a resolution of 300 ppi for the cropped section.   do i increase the resolution, decreasing the size of the image, first or do I crop first?

As it shows below, any suggestion? Thanks. 

Issue with hands on tutorials when launching app - Hermie MAX2025

Oi pessoal Nos últimos dias percebi que alguns atalhos do teclado no Photoshop não estão respondendo direito. Por exemplo, às vezes o Ctrl + Z ou Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S simplesmente não funcionam, mesmo que em outros programas estejam normais. Não tenho certeza se o problema está no Photoshop ou se o meu teclado pode estar falhando em algumas teclas. Antes de reinstalar o software ou redefinir as preferências, queria testar se todas as teclas estão funcionando corretamente. Usei este site [Link removed] que mostra em tempo real quando cada tecla é pressionada. Isso me ajudou a confirmar que o teclado estava funcionando bem, então o problema era mesmo no software. Alguém mais já passou por isso ou conhece outra forma confiável de testar o teclado no Windows ou macOS antes de redefinir as configurações do Photoshop? Obrigado desde já

Easier ways to navigate the toolbar on the left side. Easier shortcuts for new users, learning curve optimization. Show less number of tools for new users, get them to know the core tools better before moving on to more complex tools/operations- Yudelca 

Hola.Acabo de actualizar a Photoshop 2026 y a Bridge 16.0.0.63, y desde hace años he estado pasando las fotos de Bridge a Photoshop simplemente haciendo un doble clic sobre la miniatura. Ya no me funciona. Si alguien me puede ayudar se lo agradeceré. Y ya puestos, desde hace dias (no tiene nada que ver con la actualización) cuando despliego la paleta de las acciones se abre en tres columnas en vez de con una sola como venía haciendo desde principios de siglo. Me molesta tener que estar reagrupándolas continuamente. Muchas gràcias. J.M.C.
