ssue summary:Photoshop 27.9.0 appears to automatically enable Proof Colors every time I open a new image. This causes the image on the main canvas to look significantly brighter, desaturated, and washed out.Steps to reproduce:Open Photoshop 27.9.0. Open any image file. The image opens looking washed out on the main canvas. The same image looks correct in macOS Preview and also looks correct in the Layers panel thumbnail. Go to View → Proof Colors and turn it off. The image immediately returns to the correct color and contrast. Open another image. Proof Colors appears to be enabled again automatically, and the new image is washed out until I turn Proof Colors off again.Expected result:Proof Colors should remain off unless I manually enable it, and newly opened images should display with their normal color and contrast.Actual result:Every newly opened image appears washed out because Proof Colors seems to be enabled automatically. Turning it off fixes the current image, but the issue rep

Standard behavior (consistent for many years): Photoshop is open and running; I install a new font using Font Book on macOS; that font is instantly available in Photoshop. The same was also true for fonts added using Adobe Fonts. New behavior (as of recent app revision): Photoshop is open and running; I install a new font using Font Book; the font is not available in Photoshop until I close and open the app again. Adobe Fonts do sometimes become available in the running app, but it takes a long time -- on the order of 15-30 minutes. This is using Photoshop 27 on macOS Sequoia (not Tahoe).

Marquee tool missing bounding box while dragging & draws solid black lines (PS 2026 / v27.1.0 / Intel Mac + AMD, Sonoma)I’m running into a visual display/GPU bug specifically with the Marquee tool in Adobe Photoshop 2026 (v27.1.0) and need some help.The Problem: When I click and drag the Marquee tool, the active bounding box is visible, but solid black. The marching ants only appear after I release the mouse and the selection is made.The absolute only thing that fixes this is for me is going to Preferences > Performance and turning off "Use Graphics Processor." When the GPU is disabled, the marching ants appear perfectly fine while dragging. However, losing that GPU acceleration ruins overall performance.I have tried absolutely everything within Photoshop's settings to fix this without losing the GPU, including:Changing the Marquee/Selection color and overlay options in Preferences. Unchecking individual options under Performance > Graphics Processor Settings > Advanced Se

When I drag the edge of a panel (Properties, Layers, Color) in Photoshop, the panel content disappears for several frames, ghost panel edges/scrollbars flash in the middle of the workspace, and the layout jumps around. Screen recording attached. Illustrator is just as bad. Premiere Pro is affected too, but noticeably less.

I’m asking a question for a colleague. When ones uses the Levels adjustment in Photoshop, specifically clicking on the white dropper for the white background and the black dropper on the darkest line, is this adjusting the entire image? The reason for this question is to determine whether this technique results in a global adjustment, and not a selective edit, specifically when performing this on western blot images for publication. Global edits are acceptable on these images, selective edits are not. Thank you!

So I just lost 3 days worth of stuff for my Adobe Photoshop and I can’t find it?Basically, I use it for art and I had saved all of it yesterday, I made sure to do it. My laptop is a bit funky so rarely it has a bit of a crashing issue, but it stops after a bit. However, it crashed but this time, it seems 3 days of work is just gone from my laptop. Not in deleted, not in auto-recover, not in any files, it just doesn’t exist? I have proof I’ve done work, I’m pretty sure I haven’t misplaced it in another file, cause I’ve combed through my catalogue.I noticed the issue when I saw the amount of time on my adobe files and it said “3 Days Ago” even though I did work this morning and I’ve checked my version history on web and on the desktop app and it says I haven’t got any work since 18th September?I’ve checked my Auto-recovery, no dice.I’ve tried to check my Adobe Files, haven’t found anything out of it.I just don’t get it? This hasn’t happened before, I just don’t understand how to recover

Hi,I’m not sure when and how this bug appeared but I noticed today that the brush is flickering to an arrow cursor (similar to this bug  )  when I’m drawing on a layer with a mask on. I don’t know why but it’s extremely annoying, please fix this.I’m on Windows 11 and the latest version of Photoshop.Here is a video/screen capture showing the problem, notice how the bug disappear when the mask is disabled and reappears when it is activated :  

I have several M1 Macs—from Mac mini to iMac—and they all have the same issue. Whenever I open Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign, even if I don’t do anything, WindowServer will jump to around 80–90% GPU usage. Once I start working with files, even just opening a single image, the whole system becomes choppy and starts dropping frames, with GPU usage almost maxed out.But : if I switch the app to full-screen with menu bar mode (press F), the window shadows disappear, GPU usage drops back to normal, and everything runs smoothly—even with large files open. This makes it pretty clear the issue is related to how window shadows are being handled in macOS 26 and how it interacts with Adobe apps.It’s been months since Adobe 26 came out, and I’ve been waiting for updates to fix this, but even the latest versions still haven’t solved it. At this point, I’m wondering if it’s even fixable.M1 Macs are not that old—most Mac minis and iMacs from around 2021–2022 are still M1, so they’re definitely n

Rotate Object tool is not working.  It appears to work fine through the subject selection and rotation steps of the process, but, when it generates the final image, that image is “broken.”To me, it seems that the low-res object operations work fine and as designed.  However, when the selected image is generated, something is not working correctly.I have attached 2 screen prints - one during the low-res part and one of the hi-res generated image.

Photoshop 25.12, ACR 16.5.0.1954 on macOS Sequoia 15.0. Photoshop will open 8-bit HEIC files correctly. However, a 10-bit HEIC will open into ACR but then fail to open into Photoshop for editing. Both display correctly in Bridge 2022 and Bridge 2025 beta. HEIC files were exported with Preview 11.0 from both a 16-bit PSD and from a DNG file. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/w8e1zehi2w5oo4tq2x8rn/AC5BDxjd4tzQUMK5lDTkdow?rlkey=1ghhv3jwncrmig31zxanuyfuh&st=q0gudc7s&dl=0  Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.12.0 20240903.r.806 055f5e9 x64Number of Launches: 69Operating System: Mac OS 15.0.0System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:14, Stepping:10 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, HyperThreadingPhysical processor count: 6Logical processor count: 12Processor speed: 2600 MHzBuilt-in memory: 16384 MBFree memory: 6805 MBMemory available to Photoshop: 12627 MBMemory used by Photoshop: 70 %Crash Handler: AdobeDCX Version: 7.24.8SAM SDK Ver

Dear Photoshop UX Team,I have a small question regarding the recent disappearance of Select Subject from the Contextual Task Bar:Who asked for this?I realize there may have been a vast, previously silent constituency of Photoshop users lying awake at night thinking, “If only Adobe would remove the extremely clear two-word command I use constantly and replace it with suggestions about things I haven't asked Photoshop to do.”If so, congratulations. Their long nightmare is finally over.For the rest of us, however, “Select Subject” was nearly perfect UI language.It contained a verb: Select.It contained an object: Subject.And, through some extraordinary accident of linguistic efficiency, photographers already understand both words.Even better, subject has a clearly understood relationship with another term Photoshop continues to use: background.Subject ↔ Background.We've been using these concepts in photography for quite some time. There are daguerreotypes involved.More importantly, Select

My workflow is as follows:From Bridge (ver: 16.07.36), I will open a Raw file automatically into Adobe Camera Raw (ver: 18.6.0.2698) where I will make a majority of my adjustments including tone, color, masking, lens correction and maybe some object removal.  Basically, as much as I feel can be achieved before I open the file as an object in Photoshop (ver: 27.10), creating a smart object.  This then creates the two sidecar files, .xmp & .acr.  I will continue to fine tune the file in Photoshop adding various layers.  At some point I might want to make a change that I feel is best by going back to the original in ACR where at that point I double click on the original smart object to take me back into ACR.  I am NOT using the Adobe Camera Raw filter. Once I make my change, either tone or a new mask, I click OK which takes me back into Photoshop with the changes, and I continue to work.   Here lies my issue.  Previously, changes I made in returning to ACR, would show up as updates to

Appreciate the help, but It still did not work  

Hi, Seit der Umstellung auf das neue Verlaufstool ist die Handhabung von Verläufen schlichtweg Arbeitszeittötend. Verläufe in Ebenensets werden beim Direktexport falsch dargestellt, softe Schwarzverläufe im Vordergrund verdecken einfach hart das ganze Layout. Sprenkel-Verläufe sind kaum zu erkennen. Zu beheben ausschliesslich durch duplizieren des Ebenensets und Reduzierung auf eine Ebene – bei komplexen und großen Dateien ein Zeitfresser vor dem Herrn. Ebenensets mit beinhalteten Verläufen auf andersformatige Zeichenflächen zu kopieren ist schlicht nicht mehr möglich, ohne alle Verläufe neu zu erstellen. Anfangs/Endpunkt bleibt einfach auf der Original/Ausgangsfläche. Auch kann man nur noch sehr umständlich mehrere Verläufe in eine Ebene machen – Jedesmal, wenn man den Verlauf neu macht, ersetzt er den originalen und macht einen neuen. Wie soll man so arbeiten?Das kann doch nicht im Sinne des Erfinders sein. Ja, nice den Verlauf nachträglich leicht anpassen zu können – dafür aber ande

Hello Adobe team,I am reporting an issue with Photoshop 27.7 on Windows 11 where the new Remove Tool on-device generative AI model cannot be enabled on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080.The “Device” option remains greyed out, even though all documented requirements appear to be met.SYSTEM SUMMARYPhotoshop version: Adobe Photoshop 2026 / 27.7Operating system: Windows 11GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080VRAM: approximately 16 GBDirectX: DirectX 12 / DirectX 12.2 availableNVIDIA driver: current and newer than Adobe’s stated minimum requirementPhotoshop GPU acceleration: enabledPhotoshop GPU status: GPU is detected and allowedAvailable disk space: sufficientThe GPU is usable for normal Photoshop GPU acceleration.The important detail is that Photoshop appears to detect and use the RTX 5080 for general GPU acceleration, but in the system information / GPU identification path the card is shown as:NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 UNKNOWNThis strongly suggests that the issue is not general GPU acceleration, but the

The system is running an up-to-date version of Windows 10 with the latest Nvidia Studio drivers. The Shadows/Highlights settings dialog has always provided a live preview while moving the sliders, provided the live preview option was enabled. Since the latest update to PS 27.8, however, the live preview no longer appears as soon as a slider is clicked or activated with the mouse. The preview remains hidden for as long as the slider is being moved or remains active; the preview only appears once the slider is released.  

Generative Fill / Expand does not work in Photoshop 27.10.0. Generative Fill either fails with an error or remains stuck on “Generating…” indefinitely.The exact same computer, Adobe account, network connection and files work correctly when using the previous Photoshop version.I tested Firefly Fill & Expand, Firefly Image 1 and Firefly Image 5. All of them fail or remain stuck in Photoshop 27.10.0.Adobe Firefly in the browser works correctly.After reverting to the previous Photoshop version, Generative Fill / Expand immediately works again.This strongly suggests a regression in Photoshop 27.10.0 rather than an account, network or document issue.

I’m having an issue with Photoshop freezing whenever I work with large PSD files. The files contain multiple layers, Smart Objects, layer masks, and adjustment layers, and Photoshop sometimes becomes unresponsive while zooming, saving, moving layers, or applying edits.I have already tried closing other applications and restarting Photoshop, but the problem still occurs. Sometimes I have to wait several minutes before Photoshop responds again.What could be causing Photoshop to freeze when working with large PSD files? Are there specific Photoshop settings, scratch disk options, GPU settings, or workflow changes that can improve performance with large PSD files?

Locked out of photoshop, whenever i try to open the app i'm told i must sign out of a device to continue ( I only use one) then im told to resolve the issue on adobe.com, and the link provided does not work ( error the request could not be satisfied ). Can i please use the service i pay for.
