Photoshop

Photoshop stopped launching for no apparent reason. The launch window with the pelican appears. I can hear the computer running, but Photoshop does not open. It is also not listed in the Task Manager. I tried completely uninstalling Creative Cloud and Photoshop. I tried installing earlier versions. But nothing happens. Windows 11 is fully updated. Any ideas?

I'm on the Photography Plan, and Photoshop 2025 is up to date. I'm in Australia. Adobe's "Photoshop (beta) on desktop" page fires up Creative Cloud but the only beta it shows is for Illustrator - nothing else.

Would someone tell me why the RAW files from my new camera will not display as a thumbnail?All I get is the RAW file icon which makes it hard to select a particular image from a big batch.I am using a new FUJIFILM X-E5 camera (released August 2025).I am working on a new iMac 24-inch 2024.My photoshop and Camera RAW are up to date.Would I be correct in guessing that Adobe hasn't added this camera to Photoshop yet?  

I have a variety of actions that use Make -> New: channel At: mask channel Using: reveal all I am receiving an error message stating The command "Make" is not currently available.  I have a new laptop using Windows 10.  I was previously on Windows 7.  I upgraded to the latest version of Photoshop CC(Release 19.0) however reverting back to previous available versions has made no difference.  I had no issue prior to upgrading my laptop.  I appreciate any help that you can provide.Thanks

I lost 30 minutes of work with this today. Becuase it closes. It does give a option save your work first, but I meant to hit cancel, not no.

Hi, I have looked at several posts in this forum and several youtube videos, and I am unable to find a way to make repeating lines (without creating a new pattern). None of the instructions I am trying are working. I have drawn a green line with the pen tool (screenshot). I would like to repeat it over and over (vertically) with equal spacing (example screenshot 2). I am using Windows 11. Please advise, thank you.

What’s one Photoshop feature or trick that completely changed the way you edit or create designs, and how did it improve your workflow?

I have purchased Photoshop today and have the latest version and purchased firefly so have plenty of Gen AI credits but everytime I try to use the removal tool I get the same error message (Using Windows 11)

 How could I adjust the colors of the yellow and black invdividually?

This happened as I was in the process of preparing a series of images for printing. It has been my practice to get one image adjusted for printing - soft proofing, then adding a group containing the adjustment layers I need to get the print looking the way I need it to. I subsequently drag and drop the group to any other image I want to print with the same set of adjustment layers.In the middle of doing this it suddenly stopped - I have tried anything and connot get this to work any more. What is going on?

I'm running Windows 11 on PC, and I have the most recent drivers installed for the tablet.As of a few days ago, Photoshop stopped working with the stylus. Is my tablet no longer compatible?

HiWe have saved many logos from Illustrator in CC libraries.When we place them from the library in Illustrator, the artboard is taken into the canvas.If we place the same asset in Photoshop, only the object without the artboard is inserted. In our case, this is not desired, as the artboard marks the safe zone.How can we get round this?Thanks.

Hi there!   I know you can export multiple layer comps in the export tab. But is there a way to do exactly this, but with all the different artboards i have set up in my photoshop file? As they all need to be different sized artboards but with the same image (web banners etc). Then one layer comp shows just the image, other one shows the text etc that sits on top of the image.   When i try to export the layer comps. It throws all the artboards onto one layer. So it becomes one big image, rather than it exporting all the artboards as a seperate file.   Thanks in advance!

Bonjour, J'envoie une bouteille à la mer.J'utilise un ordi sous Windows 11 avec Photoshop 26.11. Je travaille avec des images en couleurs indexées.J'ai deux zones d'aplat de couleur, et au milieu, un mélange pixellisé de ces deux couleurs.Je cherche à créer une zone d'aplat à partir de cette zone de mélange. Pour ce faire, je cherche à créer des zones de sélection en fonction de la densité des mélanges.J'ai essayé les outils de sélection, mais je ne peux pas les paramétrer comme je le voudrais. Jusqu'à présent, je dessinais les zones au pinceau, mais c'est tellement long ! Est-ce que je suis passé à côté de la solution ? Vous trouverez des captures d'écran qui éclaireront peut-être mes intentions. Merci par avance pour votre précieuse aide 🙂  

Procreate for iPadPro has some awesome features that I'd love to see implemented by the Adobe/Photoshop team.I know Photoshop is marketed as a photo-editing software, as it should be; but it is no secret that the vast majority of digital artists also use Photoshop.I'm a long-time adobe user, and love the products. Recently I've been using Procreate on the iPadPro, and it has some features that just has Photoshop beat, and I'd love to see these things in Photoshop, particularly for desktop application.The first is a Perspective Tool. Many other programs have this, and it is one of the few tools Photoshop lacks compared to competitors. I think Procreate has implemented this in a smart way. Sketchbook Pro has a Perspective tool, and you must be on that perspective tool in order to draw perspective lines. Procreate, on the other hand, allows you to set up the perspective in the tool, and then apply a setting to any layer to either user the perspective on that layer or not. This allows you

Having this problem after I change a new computer with Windows10. I am using Photoshop CS6.When I zoomed in on an image and making a selection with polygonal lasso tool, I used to be able to hold the space bar to move the image around. Once space bar was released, it would revert back to the lasso tool and retain what I had selected, allowing me to continue selecting. Now, if I press the space bar during a selection, it doesn't switch to the hand tool and allow me to move at all. The polygonal lasso tool remains and I cannot shift the image around.this problem happened on both polygonal and magnetic lasso tool. I am not using pen or Wacom tablet, just using computer with mouse.

I am trying to do the final project for courseras Image editing Course. It gives me these directions, Create your scene.Download the files from this page to get the corresponding assets for your project of choice (i.e., backpack, button, copy options, and logo).Open the Photoshop desktop app and drag the backpack image to the center of the canvas, leaving room for the image, text, and logo. Select the backpack in the Layers panel. With the Object Selection tool, select the background surrounding the backpack. When you do this correctly, the selection will be highlighted in pink, with the backpack in the center of the selection.With the background selected, click Generative Fill. Type a prompt to generate a summer scene depicting grass in the foreground and mountains in the background. The files load in as in artboard so when I move the backpack image over and try to select only the background of white for winter and summer it selects the entire thing and I don't know wha

Im using Adobe 2025 release 26.11.0 on MacOS and there does not seem to be a symetry tool? I cannot find it in prefrences or anywhere... was it removed?!

I Cannot open Photoshop by clicking on app or through Bridge or Lightroom.  The error message is as follows, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop was unable to communicate with Creative Cloud Desktop". Bridge and Lightroom are able to open. Creative Cloud will not open either and I receive no error message, it just won't open.

Hi all, I opened Photoshop today and it did a quick update - I seem unable to do anything now - for example when I open an image, whichever tool I select (pen, heal brush, text etc) when I bring the cursor over the canvas it becomes the hand tool/icon and I cannot do anything to the image. Is this just a problem for me or have others experienced it? I have noticed things are a lot more glitchy since installing Monterey on my iMac... Many thanks,Jason

Hi  I have created my own Photoshop Keyboard shortcuts and I save them as a Set. Every so often they keep reverting to Photoshop Defaults, which is highly irritating, as I only find out when I'm in the middle of working on something and a shortcut doesn't work as expected, which breaks the flow. This has happened occasionally for the last few Photoshop versions.Does anyone else find this? Is it logged as a bug already, or is there a way to stop this happening? Many thanksRichard  

Here is the VERY frustrating issue:   1. I create a paragraph style {Helvetica Bold, 28/34} 2. I name is Medium Headline   What I do:   1. Select a new paragraph 2. Click the Medium Headline style 3. Click the Clear Override button.   What I get: The correct font, the correct color and the correct justification BUT a completely random font size (in this case 15.64 pixels)   This makes absolutely no sense and is an utterly frustrating bug.   [Moved from the CC Desktop forum by moderator]

Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.11.0 20250918.r.18 a87e57fWindows 11 x64 Version 10.0.26100 Build 26100 I work with LR and PS.  Opening layers from LR to PS works in background, but once the layers are loaded, the PS window comes to the front, interrupting my LR workflow. 1.  Select files in LR --> open as layers in PS2. Continue working in LR on next set of files to open as layers3. PS window comes to the front when layers are done loading4. If holding slider in LR when this happens, a sticky mouse typically happens. I've been using this workflow for a decade and this has never happened.How can I prevent PS from stealing focus and coming to the front when layers are finished loading?I only want to go back to PS when I've selected about 5 different sets of photos to open as layers.
