Photoshop

I am preparing to take the International Association for Identification (IAI) Latent Fingerprint Examiner Certification examination this fall. The examination materials strongly recommend that candidates become familiar with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020, as that is the version used during the testing process. I would like to inquire whether Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020 is still available for purchase or download. If so, I would appreciate information on how I can obtain a legitimate copy of that specific version. If the software is no longer available directly from Adobe, I would be grateful for any guidance regarding alternative options for accessing or licensing Photoshop Elements 2020 for training and practice purposes. Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response

27.10 is slow saving files: 1) Super slow (20 seconds to save a 4K resolution .JPG file.) 2) Erroneous warnings that the file has been updated (it's hasn't) before saving. 3) PS seemingly locking up when saving. Reverting to the prior version of PS (27.9.1) cleared up all the issues. OneDrive being enabled or disabled didn't make a difference.Open and edit any PS .PSD or JPG file. Try to save it. Wait and wait and wait.

I created a file many years ago before I stopped working with Smart Objects.  At the time, I wanted to sharpen sections of the image. I now need to enlarge the canvas slightly to augment the tile border, and in the process of doing that, I noticed that my Smart Objects have transparency.  AI says “the Unsharp Mask filter … operates strictly on the color and luminance channels of an image and does not utilize, modify, or factor in layer transparency or alpha channels during its calculation.”  In the first screenshot below, the finished image with all its usable layers is shown.  In the second, the bottom layer only is toggled on and reveals an out of focus section in the left upper corner which is replaced by the Layer in the 3rd screenshot (2166).  What I don’t understand is what is going on in screen shots 4 & 5, which show semi-transparent pixels.  Those areas seem to correspond with what is showing on the respective masks for those objects.  If transparency is not used for maski

“The disk copy of [file name] was changed since you last opened or saved it.  Do you wish to update it?I haven’t seen this dialog box in a decade or more, but am now seeing it multiple times a day since upgrading to Mac OS 27. Is it just me? If not, does anyone have any insight into what has changed?Aside from the system update I have made no modifications to my configuration.Thanks in advance.

After the previous update, I can't active the Type tool in Photoshop by hitting T. It will switch to it, then immediately switch back to whatever the previous tool was. If you click T and click the image fast enough, sometimes you can catch it. I was hoping the next update would fix it, but it did not. I use the Type tool a lot, so this is not great behavior.

I need to change a bunch for png’s to jps. As usual, I have recorded the action to export and save a jpgs. And I have saved the action which shows in my action window. I go to Automate > batch and do the usual process, however there are two errors occurring at various times of trying to batch automate the same file as it hasn’t been doing what it should do:It looks like photoshop is doing its thing, however, once done, no files have been saved as instructed. The files are saving but without the instructed actions actioned. Saving as the originals.P.S. I have been using this process for decades without issue. And I even used uit successfully just before the action panel was changed by Adobe. I have a big deadline and need this sorted asap. Please help!Thank you. 

Who had the great idea of Gen-Z-ing this? With the new Photoshop-Update it is terrible to “act” on my actions. IT IS OVERBLOWN!!! WHO THOUGHT THIS IS A GOOD IDEA??? It used to be easy to click on/off parts of my actions that I’ve programmed (which is such a cool feature from you guys! Love it!) . Now you’ve made it very hard to “on/off” parts of my actions.Do you really need to “stupify” your software? The new “Actions” interface is honestly terrible, it looks like a bad “beta”. Please revert to the old UI. What I hate: the new UI design structure itself is very hard to read – “what’s active in my action, what’s deactivated”… it used to be really easy to change a programmed action within, now … it’s not. Many more steps are involved now. I was much, much faster before the new implementation. Honestly, who thought this is a good idea/update? It is not.You do create fantastic things for us and I love you for it, but this is not one of them.If you need more … please contact me, this need’

I recently updated to the Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.9.1 20260803.r.1 65900e1  x64 (final, Release). Once I import an image and I use the Clone Stamp Tool, it doesn't work as it used to. I use Alt+Click to select an area to clone, but then, when I click on a target to clone on, it uncontrollably clones other areas of the image, at a linear manner. I haven't seen such a behavior before. 

I recently bought a brand new MacBook Pro M5 with 48gb of working memory. Every app I use on a daily basis for work has been smooth, fast, and seamless- except Photoshop. It is consistently laggy. I’ll make a brush stroke and it will show up on the screen 5+ seconds later. I will click on the layers tab and it takes 4+ seconds to register.I currently have the memory usage set to 70%. I tried upping the memory and turning on and off some Graphics Processors settings, but that did not help.Yesterday, I was working on a 8”x10” file at 400 dpi with about 6 layers. I had only been working on that file for 20 minutes max. I went to Activity Monitor and Photoshop was taking up a whopping 16.09gb!!I removed and redownloaded Photoshop last week and am still experiencing this extreme lag.I use Photoshop for work and it has become nearly unusable. Please help! 🙏

I’m running on a M5 MacBook Pro, Golden Gate 27.0. I downgraded to 27.8 and there was no more issues.I updated to Photoshop 27.10 and ran into several unacceptable issues:Opened photoshop after the auto update and tried editing a single 4k image. Zoom was slow, paintbrush was slow, and navigating menus was slow. I had a single layer with a mask and was trying to paint in the mask, but the brush was so laggy and unresponsive it was completely unusable. Trying to do this while zoomed in and the app would lockup completely. I tried with a smaller 1000px x 1000px image, still noticeably slow but no locking up. I’ve edited larger images with more layers and never ran into this issue until now. During this I also checked every setting and permission both in app and at the OS level. Everything was correct. During this time I noticed that while both were open my network bandwidth dropped to 5-7mb/s and I was unable to load pages in a browser. Closing both boosted bandwidth back to the expected

I have my document displayed on 100 %.I make Generative Fill layer.I want to see whole picture with Fit on Screen (Ctrl+0).But shortcut doesnt always Fit on Screen, instead randomly opens up Smart Sharpen filter, which has Ctrl+F5 shortcut assigned).Latest PS updated, Win 11. 

Hi everyone,I’ve tried several times to download and install Adobe software for editing images for my website, but unfortunately the installation keeps failing. I’ve attempted the installation multiple times, but Adobe does not install successfully.I’m not sure whether the issue is related to the Creative Cloud installer, my system settings, or another installation problem.Could someone please guide me through the correct troubleshooting steps? I’d especially appreciate advice on:Checking whether my system meets the requirements Fixing possible Creative Cloud installation errors Completely removing previous failed installations Reinstalling Adobe correctly Checking for any permissions or compatibility issuesI mainly need Adobe for creating and editing images for my website, where I also publish content about pickleball equipment, including [edited by moderator] other gear.Any suggestions or step-by-step guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, At our company we experience the following issue: when a windows user would like to use Adobe Photoshop on VPN or on company Wi-Fi (behing proxies), after 30-60 seconds the app crashes. (Error report has been attached.) I experienced the issue on my device with the version 26.11 or 27.1.0 (Adobe Photoshop), but when I installed an older one (25.1) everything was fine. If I disconnect (with 26.11 / 27.1.0) from VPN or company Wi-Fi and I am using my personal hotspot / home Wi-Fi, Photoshop is working fine. (We had the same issue with InDesign, but after I have updated from 20.51 to 21.0.2, InDesign is working on VPN/company Wi-Fi. I suspect that the InDesing issue was due to this bug: 'InDesign freezes when connected with the Enterprise VPN.' https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180/suggestions/50450502 which was fixed in the 21.0. version.) At the company we use Cisco Secure Connection VPN and Windows Security app. Unfortunately we aren't allow

I’m working both at the office and at home, with different dual screens in different setups, and now the window for new documents in PS is invisible when i chose new document. I believe the window is stuck somewhere outside of my monitors and I can’t find a way to retrieve it. I suspect it is related to the screen resolution issues too, since the program windows can change size in crazy ways depending on which screen I move them to. The same issue happened on my previous computer but in Illustrator, so I just had to press enter and get whatever image size that was default and then change it in the program to what I needed.
