Is there a way to batch export these layer groups as pngs?I've tried 'Export As' but it trims the images into just what is visible in the group. I want to retain the size of the artboard (1080x1920) and keep the placement of my text where it is.My workaround is creating layer comps and then exporting those as PNGs but it can be tedious to create a multitude of layer comps sometimes.Any suggestions or has someone written a script?   

How to SIMPLY change default "save as" in the drop down "save as" menu to the last file type saved?I'm asking this question seeking a simple solution, not a complicated "export file to this or that" or other such time-consuming processes... The problem is as follows: In PS "Save As" will always default to the last saved option file type EXCEPT "JPG." Why?   For example, if you saved something once as say, a "PSD" file, the next time you do "Save As" it gives you "PSD" as the default option to save in the drop down "Save As" menu; it will continue to offer you "PSD" as your first choice the next time you "Save As" unless you then save a file as, say, a "PNG" for example.  Then the next time you "Save As" the default option will be "PNG." (not PSD.) And so on and so for for any kind of file type EXCEPT JPG.  It NEVER brings up "JPG" as a default option, even if the last time you saved it as a "JPG." You could save 100 files in a row as "JPG" but PS will

I have Creative Cloud Pro, all apps, Windows 11, latest versions/updates all apps.  Every few days over the last 3 - 4 weeks when I click on Creative Cloud, under Photoshop the button has 'Install'.  For the past year I've been using the beta version most of the time. I have my account set to auto-update all apps, but I do go to the Creative Cloud home page each day to open apps just to make sure there aren't any updates lingering that auto-update missed.  When I see the 'install' button under Photoshop I click it, it quickly installs without any problem. I open it and use it for a while, and it's stable with no error messages. Any ideas why this happens?  Thanks in advance for your help. 

Why are so many choices grayed out in my cc 2018 Photoshop?How do I paste text from another program?2018 worked fine a few weeks ago why the changes

Since last PS update, it takes literally 3 minutes to open a jpeg or png file from inside InDesign or an attachment in Outlook. Any help with this?  My system is completely updated

Bonjour,J'ai un petit souci lorsque je redimensionne mes jpeg en lot par le script ( par exemple je demande du 2500 X 2500), les photos perdent de la "couleur" et sont plus fades que l'original ?Je n'avais pas ce souci auparavant, savez-vous d'où cela peut venir ?

Alt+drag or even just moving artboards is so slow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a way to determine if an action is currently being recorded? The most obvious way is to try playing a known action or run menu items that are usually locked during recording (for example, duplicate a command, delete a command, etc.). If an error occurs, then recording is in progress. However, in this case, a system dialogue appears that cannot be suppressed by try... catch or DialogModes.NO 😞    

How to turn off the animated tips that popup everytime you select a tool? Seems to be an old "feature" and rather often unwanted for many years now in various apps. This regards Photoshop 22.3.00, and they still won´t go away as some have said. 

Previously when using photoshop I could click anywhere using the text tool and it would freely type from wherever I had clicked.  Now it just automatically draws a giant bounding box for the text.  How do I disable this?

Hello, this is a little hard to explain so I will do my best. I am running PS CC 2018 on Windows 7.When I select a layer mode (e.g. multiply, overlay), the layer mode box stays selected, so when I use certain buttons they won't work. I need to press Enter to 'confirm' and de-select the layer mode box. It's a small issue but it really affects my work flow, is there any way to stop this from happening?

Photoshop v26.9.0 on Mac OS Sequoia 15.6 Under regular conditions, when the brush tool (B) is active, pressing 1 on the keyboard sets the brush opacity to 10%, and pressing shift-1 sets the brush flow to 10%.Once you click the "Enable airbrush-style build-up effects" button, these keyboard shortcuts switch so shift-1 affects the opacity and 1 affects the flow. Brush Tool Settings Troubleshooting I was experiencing this issue previously so uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop without any of my previous settings, and it was only when configuring my brush settings again that I discovered this as the cause of the issue. Incredibly frustrating, please fix!

Hi everyone,Maybe someone already had this problem, when you have a selection and you need to create an adjustments layer applying on whole images (without any mask) and keep current selection.The thing is when I have a selection and create adjustment layer, selection automatically converts to a mask for this new adjustment layer. How can I make it not use selection as a mask?Thanks in advance

In the new photoshop (version 26.9.0), I am no longer able to record an action with making a new document using preset "Clipboard". Photoshop now records the exact dimensions instead of the clipboard preset. Now: Used to be: Anyway to make it records "Preset: Clipboard" again? 

This has been an ongoing problem for weeks and it's really butchering my workflow. Whenever I try to save a .gif to any location on my mac, I get a "Save for Web Error" pop up and not sure why. Recently I updated all of my Adobe programs + restarted my computer and I guess it's still bugging. I have the same legacy settings for gif-ing on my personal mac and have no problems exporting but for the current mac I'm using it's being weird Really need a solve for this

I honestly can’t believe this.In Photoshop 2025, the ability to right-click and batch clear layer styles is GONE. What are you thinking, Adobe? This has been a standard feature for YEARS and is essential for fast, efficient workflow — especially for UI/UX, web, and graphic designers who deal with dozens or hundreds of layers at once.Now, the option is just greyed out when multiple layers are selected. Why would you remove something so basic and useful? Do your developers actually use Photoshop, or is this just an abstract experiment in making things harder for professionals?I don’t want a workaround. I don’t want to write a script. I want the functionality that used to be there. This is not an upgrade — it’s a regression.Please bring this feature back. Immediately.Stop removing features we rely on. This is not innovation — it’s sabotage.

Hi guys,I work with manuals, and I use Photoshop for editing. I edit a lot of pages, and sometimes a revision comes along. So adding an extra page makes it unbearable to edit sometimes +100 titles within each page.I've Googled and searched here a bit, but haven't found any results that does what I'm asking for.Would any of you maybe have some solution to this? I've worked with Photoshop for many years, but never had to use batch features or scripts until now.Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I am unable to open my photoshop app. I see in task manager it is running but no window. restarted many times. any idea? 

Let's say I've got a red rectangle, 200x300px.I copy the lower half of it (200x150px), paste that as a new layer, and make it black...Now I want to be able to transform that black layer, but keep the exact number of pixels.In other words, I want to literally change the shape, but not scale it up or down.For example: if I tried to make it higher, I'd want the width to automatically decrease.Is this at all possible?

Hi, I shot some mp4's on my sony a7riva and I can't seem to open them in PS.  I don't really get involved with video much but I've never had this problem.   This is the error message I'm getting.   Could not import the clipboard because your computer does not provide the required AVX and AVX2 instruction sets needed to process video. Thanks for any help! Mac Sequioa 15.5PS 

Hi everyone, I designed some promotional banners in Photoshop, but after exporting them for web use, the quality drops significantly — especially the text edges, which look blurry. I’ve tried both “Save for Web” and regular export options, but the result is the same. Could someone check one of the banners here: [weblink removed as per forum guidelines] and tell me if the issue comes from my Photoshop export settings or my website’s image compression? I’m trying to keep the file size small without sacrificing clarity, but I feel I’m missing an important step.

When atempting to run a plug in, I get a set command currently unavailable error message.  How do I correct this?  

Imagine you're on a farm - looking at a plowed field. There are large continuous furrows, side-by-side, which have been flipped over. The composition of the soils in this field - could vary > from rich black dirt, to gravelly, to a sandy mix, etc. This new Photoshop tool is called the "Discer". A rectangular tool - whose width can vary (like Brush Size). There's also an option to control the 'depth' of operation. From shallow - to deep. > A "homogenizer" is a laboratory or industrial device used to break down and evenly distribute particles within a liquid mixture, creating a stable and uniform emulsion, suspension, or solution. You've used a drone to photograph this plowed field. At your computer - running Photoshop, you run the "Discer". It takes the contents of whatever is under the 'tool' and chops up the lumps, rows, streaks, etc - into a more even harrowed appearance, and keeping the general color in that section. Another sc
