Photoshop

I can't find any information in the manual about how to work with brush files - so how exactly does people approach this?I have an idea for a tool I want to make but I'm blocked in regards to the technical approach on how to actually work with brush files.I've seen examples of custom-made brush panels so I know it's entirely possible - but I can't seem to find any actual info about it. I've tried contacting these people but they are either busy or they simply do not want to share this info out of fear that I will develop some competing tool (which I will not - my idea goes beyond just a brush manager). What I need to be able to do is 1) Read an abr file2) Display the brush (as a thumbnail)3) Write an abr-file

    When I save a PDF, it appears in black and white, the images change shape, and I see a diffuse line pattern, like on old TVs. I've already changed the settings by unchecking "Preserve Photoshop editability" and checked that both the file and the PDF are in RGB, but that hasn't worked. What can I do?

Just updated and the Saturation slider does not change color as you change the Hue Slider as it used to. Not sure if there is a preference setting I have accidentally disabled or not.

Ps 24.2.0MacOS Big Sur I've been using Ps for years and have always used OPT/ALT to quickly switch between BRUSH and EYEDROPPER tool to change the brush color, so when I'm using brush tool I temporarily hold on OPT key and select a different FOREGROUND colour. Now I realize that in doing so eyedropper picks up the BACKGROUND colour and not the foreground, no problem if I need to do this once, since with X key I can switch between foreground and background, but it turns out to be pretty annoying if I need to do multiple changes of colour in a short time.I've looked into the preferences but without finding any solution yet. Any suggestion?

Depuis un mois Photoshop ne s’ouvre plus, dès que je clic sur le raccourci un message s’affiche « Problème insoluble Photoshop va se fermer » J’ai suivi les conseils trouvés sur le site d’adobe mais rien ni fait ni réinstaller ni les versions précédentes. Pourriez vous me conseiller, me trouver une explication et si possible une solution Merci d’avance Jean-Pierre

The Remove tool says comments are welcome, but still doesn't say where to post them.I would like to post comments about the Remove tool.Is there a link to do so?(using latest version of Pshop)   

Hi, I have been using photoshop and Adobe Camera Raw for many years and Creative Cloud since its inception. My saved jpg photos have been greater than 10mb for years but recently all photos I have edited in Adobe Camera Raw, opened in photoshop and saved as jpgs are no bigger than 500kb. I have spent hours online trying to find out why and have tried all of the suggestions  but nothing will remedy the problem. I am seriously considering switching from Adobe unless a solution can be supplied. I have even gone back to old photos which I had saved as 15mb images using photoshop and now it's impossible. Please can anyone help. 

How to get embroidery effect satin stitch in photoshop or illustratorExample:-

MAC에서의 포토샵 작업창 상단 고정 기능을 추가해주세요. Window에서는 배경탭에 있는 작업창을 클릭했을 때,따로 빼놓은 창이 상단에 고정되는데 Mac에서는 배경탭의 작업창을 클릭할 시,따로 빼놓은 창이 사라집니다.  물론, 창 > 정돈 > 2장 가로 같은 기능을 사용해 두 화면을 동시에 볼 수 있지만,이 방법의 경우 작업창의 영역을 많이 사용해 비효율적입니다. Discord에서는 이부분의 문제 해결을 위해 팝업창 위로 고정 이라는 기능을 추가했습니다. Mac에서도 Window처럼 작업창 자동 상단 고정 기능이 추가되었으면 합니다. 감사합니다. 

Hello everyone,I'm writing a Photoshop script (ExtendScript/JSX) to automate a color grading workflow. The intended sequence is:Merge all visible layers into a new layer.Create a new "Color Lookup" adjustment layer, loading a specific 3D LUT file.Merge the Color Lookup layer down onto the merged layer.My script fails at step 2, when attempting to create the Color Lookup layer, and returns the following error message:"Error: A general Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop. -Could not complete the command because of a program error.Is there a different, more compatible scripting method to create a Color Lookup layer while simultaneously loading a 3D LUT file?Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can offer!

I am using Photoshop 2025 and my hand tool keeps switching to brush tool after a few strokes.I frequently move my canvas especially since I draw, but sometimes when i drag my screen using the hand tool, it switches to brush for some reason. Then I will have to choose the hand tool again or press the hotkey but it is very annoying and time consuming.  I've been using the wacom intuos pen tablet for a long time already and it occurred only just now.

I just registered to Photoshop 2025. I try to open a raw file (RAF) from Fujifilm camera X-S10. My lens is a Viltrox AF 13/1.4 XF. The couple Camera/Lens seems to be supported from the lens database https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/supported-lenses.htmlThe Lens profile in ACR provides the right lens model. However, I cannot apply distortion. The slider is grey and cannot be used (see picture below).I have the same problem with Lightroom.This is a very standard setting in every software. I have no problem with Affinity Photo for example. Does anybody can help me ?

So I'm trying to do a scatter effect with my eraser tool using a few of the "Special Effects Brushes" but when I choose the brush. It automaticlly goes back to the Brush tool... Umm??? What?! Why? Whoes idea was that? Can I disable that?

I recently bought a Macbook Pro (16 inch, Nov 2024, Apple M4 Pro, 24 GB Memory, Sequoia 15.6.1) so that I could use my iPad (Air, 5th generation, iPadOS Version 16.6.2) as a drawing tablet when using Photoshop.  However, when working in Photoshop using my iPad as a tablet in Sidecar, scrolling with two fingers over the canvas is waaaaaay too sensitive. For example when I move my fingers just a few millimeters, it moves the canvas completely out of the screen. It completely ruins my workflow. I've tried several things to solve this problem:- Updated MacOS and iPadOS- Updated Photoshop- Tried different sidecar settings: mirror and optimize for mac, mirror and optimize for ipad, use as extended screen- Tried different scrolling settings- Started my Mac in safe mode Also, I figured out that when I'm in a browser and zoom in on something and then scroll with two fingers on the iPad, it's completely normal, so the issue seems to be Photoshop specific. I've already contact

is this a new bug or something? everytime i try to click the fill tools, stroke, or just adjusting opacity in layers panel, this glitch keep happening which make me unable to use the tool that i want and i have to either double-clicked the layer to change the fill color or go to layer effect to add a stroke. can anyone help me? 😞 I'm using photoshop version 26.10

This seems to be an issue multiple people have had in the past. However none of the solutions mentioned previously are working for me. When I go to save any photoshop file, the 'save to cloud documents' option is greyed-out.I have updated photoshop and creative cloud,I am logged into creative cloud,I am connected to a stable wifi connection,And I am trying to save as .PSD, At this stage I think it may be a bug? Any guidance would be appreciated.Thanks.(Photoshop v26.11, MacOS)
