If I create an adjustment layer, the cursor defaults to one of the adjustment sliders. This means that if I want to start adjusting the layer mask, I have to first hit enter / deselect the slider.I don't recall this being an issue in the past, it's become incredibly apparent in the last month or so and it's really disruptive. Has anyone else come across this? - MacOS- Photoshop 25.12.4

Hi I've been asked by a friend to engrave a photo onto slate, but it's a collage of photos (mostly just faces) on a white background. I need to get rid of the white to make the background transparent ready for engraving. I've searched for advice on how to do this and the answer I found (and tried was) Create a duplicate layerUse blend if (current layer) to get rid of the white. This works very well but in places there are bits on the faces that it loses too. I've tried using a black layer mask to get rid of these, but it doesn't work. See picture below for an example of what I mean.  When I apply the black layer mask, it starts with a fully transparent screen and I can paint on the faces that I want, but the bits on the faces are still transparent. Am I doing it the wrong way, or is this the right way but I'm doing it wrong? ThanksChris

Hola,Quisiera reportar un problema con el selector de fuentes en Photoshop 2025. Actualmente, cada vez que abro la lista de fuentes, esta se posiciona al inicio del orden alfabético, en lugar de mostrar la última fuente utilizada, como sí sucede en otros programas de Adobe (After Effects, Illustrator) e incluso en versiones anteriores de Photoshop.Este cambio hace que la selección de tipografías sea mucho más lenta y poco práctica, ya que obliga a recorrer manualmente la lista o a escribir el nombre de la fuente una y otra vez, lo que representa una pérdida de tiempo en el flujo de trabajo diario.Sería muy útil que Photoshop ofreciera la opción de configurar el comportamiento del selector de fuentes, de manera que los usuarios podamos elegir si preferimos que la lista:se abra mostrando la última fuente usada, o se organice siempre en orden alfabético.Creo que esta mejora beneficiaría mucho la productividad y la consistencia entre las aplicaciones de Adobe.Gracias por considerar esta su

My company does a lot of Kodak disc film scanning and we've found that dialing A.I. "Photo Restoration" in the neural filters to about 20% to 30% to reduce grain and make faces clearer. What happens though, after a couple of dozen of images, is that filter starts running extremely slow...going from about 10 seconds per image to a minute or two per image. I then have to close the images I have open and restart Photoshop. Once that's done, I get another couple of dozen images done before this issues starts again and I have to close and open Photoshop again.  Am I being throttled because of the number of images I'm processing?16 bit Tiff file sizes are around 15 mb with a pixel dimension of about 4000 x 3000 pixels created on a Phase One achromatic multispectral scanner. i7 8th generation processor 64gb DDR4 ram and an 8 gb GPU

Hi, screen capture from a flight sim of a sky, and after use of levels to make the clouds a bit more bright, noticed the blue sky graduating down from darker blue to horizon had bands of blue then turquoise-blue then blue etc repeating and getting lighter, so reached for blur tool, did nothing at all, yet blurred the clouds, so added noise, all it did was blur the noise but not the banding. .do a test, drew alternate sprays of blue and purple, overlapping , tested it, did nothing. Just how does one blend those alternate bands together keeping the progression from darker blue to lighter blue ? Blur tool seems limited, it wont blue solid colours as per my test. try it for yourself. No tool we tried made a scrap of difference. Photoshop beaten by a sim sky with banding, eh what ? Merlin

Photoshop 26.  2025 The ability to rotate an image while cropping has stopped working.    The straighten tab is grayed out. I haven't used the straighten tab so I don't know whether the tab is grayed out  for some reason or setting.   But I definitley cannot rotate the image while cropping.   Any and all help is much appreciate.

Hello, I'm trying to resize a transparent background GIF I made with After Effects using Photoshop. However, white dots are appearing on the background, just like in the photo. Normally, these areas should be completely black. Am I setting something wrong?

I've never been so lost in Photoshop and been a user since 1988... These 'rich tool tips' have taken over the program and I'm not getting any work done because of the constant intrusion... Where are preferences as I look under Photoshop and there is no way to turn off these tool tips, there is no menu called 'preferences.'  Who ever thought this should be so hidden and. forced upon the lot of us who are simply trying to get our daily work done. Need help desperately to turn this tool tips stuff off please!

Photoshop v26.11In the File menu, after selecting Your Files, Photoshop does not remember the last used directory path. The file search bar is also missing! This bug has been reported many times in the Beta version... I reported it twice myself. With this bug, Photoshop is unusable for work—you can't search for your own files, and you have to go into a specific directory from scratch every time.

Hi, can i use Photoshop and/or Lightroom for editing, managing and storing sensual photoshoots (including (semi-)nudes, but NO explicit activities)? I DO NOT want to use it for abuse or any ill-mindet activites like deep fakes. Only legal photoshoots with all participanting persons being at legal age and agreed to do the shooting with free will.  I just asked this question an Adobe Agent via Chat Support and the answer was "No, you cant!" and then the agent abrubtly ended the conversation. Is that true?  Please let me know as i have no bad intentions at all and i do not want to violate any adobe rules, i just want to know if i can use adobe products for this or need to buy different companies products. I am just a small creative photostudio. Thank you very much for your help! 

Looking to replace some text in an image that's overlayered with a stamp. When I select the area (see attached image) and add the word I want to replace, Generative Fill spits back some weird language. Any ideas how to adjust (change language, etc.)? Thanks!

Hello Adobe Team, I would like to report a significant inconvenience when working with PDF files stored in Creative Cloud. Currently, it is not possible to open PDF documents directly in Photoshop or Illustrator from the cloud. The system always forces PDF to open in Acrobat, even though Photoshop and Illustrator fully support editing PDF files locally. This workflow creates additional steps: I have to download the file first, then open it manually in Photoshop or Illustrator. For heavy files this process is especially time-consuming and inefficient. I kindly ask Adobe to consider allowing users to open and edit PDF files directly from Creative Cloud in Photoshop and Illustrator, the same way we can open PSD, AI, or other supported formats. This would greatly improve flexibility and productivity for designers and artists who rely on Creative Cloud for file storage. Thank you for your attention.

Questions, How to learn and more

I'm wildly confused. I've used this programs years and have never come across this issue. I must has tweaked my setting somewhere. But where? It's most likely so simple and I'll look like an idiot in the end, but it'll be worth it.Whenever I have exported files from my project, only the visible area on my canvas is included on my final file. But now, the whole original image is there. What the heck?Here is it. Canvas with about 40% of my original photo visible. The way I like it, and the way I want it to export.I go to export, and the whole friggin' photo is there:I've cropped the image with the "delete cropped pixels" function on too, and the stupid thing still shows up.I know I'm overlooking something. Community, please help Many thanks!

A level 2 Adobe support rep sent me here. I am unable to reactivate by install of the Adobe CS6 Master Suite as I have reached the maximum device activations. I had some software issues that required full system reinstalls, which prevented me from deactivating my installs. Apparently, support is unable to reset activations anymore. Is there any way to reset this on my end? There are no devices listed under "Activated Devices" in my account page.

I noticed the tie of my subjects is off to the side. What is a good (retaining shirt texture around it etc.) way to fix this?

Hello,I previously submitted a bug report here and received a suggested solution. However, the same issue has continued to occur repeatedly. Even after renaming the “24” folder to “old” and reverting it back several times, the bug has persisted and keeps reoccurring.At this point, even modifying the folder no longer resolves the issue.For reference, this is the post I followed:https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/photoshop-tool-icons-are-missing/idi-p/13895953 Is it possible that this issue persists because I am running Windows 10 Pro? I followed the instructions exactly as described, but the same bug continues to reoccur and the problem remains unresolved.While reinstalling the software temporarily resolves the issue, the bug reappears shortly after, forcing me to repeat the reinstallation process. Each time, I have to reconfigure all my plugins, brushes, and settings, which is extremely time-consuming and inconvenient. If it were only a matter of the

I’m on macOS [insert version], running Photoshop 2025 26.10.0, with a Wacom [tablet model] on driver version [insert number]. The issue: Using the default Soft Round Pressure Size brush with Minimum Diameter = 0%.In Wacom Diagnostics, pen pressure reads cleanly from 0 → 100%.In Photoshop, the stroke never fills the full brush circle. It only expands to about 75% of the brush diameter, regardless of brush size.Adjusting Wacom’s pressure curve (including Customize mode) makes no difference.In earlier Photoshop versions, full pressure filled or even exceeded the brush circle.  What I’ve tried: Reset Photoshop brushes (reloaded Default Brushes).Tested with a brand-new document, default brush.Verified macOS permissions: Photoshop and Wacom are both added to Accessibility and Input Monitoring.Cleaned and reinstalled the Wacom driver.Reset Photoshop preferences.Disabled GPU in Preferences (no change).  Expected:Full pen pressure (100%) should map to the full

Hello! Today I wanted to share one of the processes I have integrated into my Adobe Photoshop workflow, which I use daily in the form of batch retouching actions. For lack of a better name, it could be considered something like an "automatic zoom," and it takes advantage of certain features of the program in a way I haven’t seen anywhere else. In the video you can see the two variations of the process:The first one, whose purpose is to zoom into general areas of the file (the bottom third, the center, the top, etc.), requires using percentages as the program measurement method. A real use case could be retouching the shoes in an e-commerce shoot, where the model is positioned in the same spot across different photos. In just a couple of seconds, the screen will be centered on the shoes in each image where this process is applied.The second one makes use of "Select people" tool to zoom into specific parts of the body. As shown in the example, it can be used to zoom into the face within

I'm trying to record menu items via scripting, and am coming up empty. Modifying the below, I've gotten it to show up in the Automate Menu as "Bologna", and record as "Bologna" in actions rather than "Scripts Name: "Bologna"" 1. How do I create an event ID for my script? I modified this one from Contact Sheet II2. How do I call my menu item properly with a script? I've tried iterations of: app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("Bologna"));And get the error message:"The object “<unknown> menu item” is not currently available."3. Alternatively, can I use runMenuItem for any of the scripts? I tride "Automate: Bologna" and "Scripts: Bologna" and neither worked.GOAL: Is to record a menu item to an action, I'm on an M1 chip and scripting listener no longer works.Also tried it with contactSheetII and get the same error. /* <javascriptresource> <name>$$$/AdobePlugin/PIPLInfo/PluginName/testing123=Bologna</name> <menu>automate</menu> <category>Sc
