How to move mask to a different layer?

I’m having trouble moving the mask to the original photo it’s supposed to be on. I’m using my iPhone and I have two layers: the original photo and the edited photo I used to create the mask. I need to move the mask from the edited photo layer to the original photo layer so I can mask the original instead. I’ve done it before, but I can’t remember how I did it.

Trying to get multiple texts across a sheet of images

I am trying to create a sheet of faux postage (a/k/a postoids) using Photoshop.Each row of stamps will feature a different image (which I am doing using Smart Objects). Currently there are two sets of text on each stamp; I’d like to make three eventually. The text will be the same across the entire sheet of stamps. It will change from time to time. In the attached example, it says Holiday Post, and 45 cents. I would like to be able to change that to, say, Autumn Post, and $1. What is the simplest way I can set this up so that when I change the text on one stamp, it will change on all the stamps? I’ve been trying different ways and haven’t come up with anything that really works yet. Open to suggestions! I’ve just started to use Smart Objects (thought I should mention that). Thank you!

Remove tool On Device still fails on Nvidia RTX 16GB cards after 3 months of updates!

JGZ45Known Participant

Featured Content

Today’s update to Photoshop V27.10 still leaves the On Device remove tool unusable on Windows 11 with an RTX 5080 with 16GB VRAM and using the latest driver. Version 29.0 worked perfectly and quickly months ago, but since updating to the current version, the tool fails. It stalls for minutes, forcing the CPU to handle object removal instead of using the GPU. Subsequent removals have the same long delays. Happens on both my workstation and laptop (RTX 4090) Switching to Cloud-based processing works, but what happens when using Photoshop somewhere without Wi-Fi or hotspot access? The same issue applies to the current Beta version to which I have reinstalled Beta 29.0 on my laptop to be able to use the On Device remove tool in isolated signal areas.

Photoshop 2025 upgraded to Photoshop2026, but CC doesn't see either. (Complicated... please read!)

This is a bit complicated. Sorry.I have been using Photoshop 2025 on current Mac OS. A while ago, CC apparently installed Photoshop 2026 (it is in my applications folder) but launching Photoshop has continued to launch 2025. Further, CC (yes, I’ve logged out and back in and restarted the computer) shows that Photoshop is NOT installed at all. In Photoshop 2025 if I go to Help → Updates I see no option to update my installed copy of Photoshop 2025 or switch to the installed copy of Photoshop 2026… and under the “Apps” page in CC, while Lightroom and Lightroom Classic show as installed (I see the “Open” buttons), next to Photoshop I see “Install.”)While I can manually launch the installed Photoshop 2026 application, it does not have access to any of my workspace or preferences from 2025. Using the “click the 3 dots in the CC Photoshop square to check for other versions” doesn’t work either, since CC seems to be unaware that Photoshop is even installed on my computer. Again, sorry for th

Hello,I am facing an issue in Photoshop when trying to remove the background of a photograph. Whenever I click the Remove Background button, an error message appears: “Couldn’t find background to remove.”I have tried restarting Photoshop and resetting preferences, but the error still persists. This happens even with images that have a clear subject and background.Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a recommended solution or workaround?Thank you in advance for your help.Best regards,

Something for the Weekend – Part 265 – ‘Holy Island’’

davescmCommunity Expert

Thanks to all who took part in our previous ‘Where there’s smoke’ challenge. There were some great images based on the Victorian pipe.This week, we go to Lindisfarne, also known as Holy Island. It is situated just off the Northumberland coast of England, and reachable by a causeway. This view of the castle, which was built in the 16th century, is from the rugged rocks of the beach. In its day, it must have been a formidable castle to breach. Of course, with the power of image manipulation, you can show us how it might be done.The “rules”:Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry. Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc. Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”. The challenge is not limited to Photoshop. Any Adobe software can be used. There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a

Issue:  Photoshop version: 26.10.0 20250811.r.7 x64 (final, Release) OS: Windows 11 64-bit (10.0.26100.4946), 4070 RTX (mobile), i7-13700h, Windows HDR enabled Steps to reproduce: Create a new 1000 x 1000 px document., RGB, 8 bit. In [Edit > Color Settings...] enable "Blend RGB colors using gamma 1.00". Enable [Settings > Technology Previews > Precise color management for HDR display], butit seems to be irrelevant (that's the only other setting I changed since Photoshop installation). Create 200 x 200 px, #00f blue raster square with 50% opacity ("Normal" blend). Ctrl + J to duplicate this layer. Group them. Fill bg to say #eee. Notice that the color they have is #6767f8 (correct I assume). Move the group with the Move Tool (V) and notice the color changed to #7f7ffb. Use zoom/pan (Z) and notice it flickered back to #6767f8. It's even possible to duplicate this group and fix both copies by the zoom tooland then drag only one of these groups with Move Tool (V)

P: Photoshop 27.9.1: Improve support for Remove Tool in 32bit/HDR documentsOpen for Voting

Remove Tool appears to clamp HDR values in a 32-bit documentI am using Photoshop 27.9.1 with a 32-bit/channel image in a VFX workflow.I used the Remove Tool to remove the text from a very bright area of the image.At normal exposure, the result looks clean and the removed area blends in well with the surrounding image, as shown in the first two attached images.However, when I lower the exposure to inspect the HDR information, the area processed with the Remove Tool becomes clearly visible. It appears that the generated pixels are being limited or clamped, while the original surrounding pixels retain their higher HDR values.The three attached images show: Original image – before removing the text. After using the Remove Tool – at normal exposure, the result appears clean. After lowering the exposure – the area processed by the Remove Tool becomes clearly visible because its brightness range no longer matches the surrounding HDR pixels. This may not be noticeable when exporting to an

P: Photoshop v27.9.1 Save As PDF - Size limitation in 27.9.1 compared to 27.8

Using Save As Photoshop PDF, I was able to save PDFs above 50,000 pixels wide yesterday using 27.8.After updating to 27.9.1 this morning I could no longer save a Photoshop PDF above approximately30,000 pixels wide (Photoshop PDF was no longer an option in the dropdown). After reverting back to 27.8 I can now save PDFs from files over 50,000 pixels wide again.

Feature Request: Restore PDF Saving for Large-Format Documents Over 30,000 PixelsOpen for Voting

I’m a professional designer who regularly creates large-format artwork for commercial print. Until Photoshop 27.9, I was able to save my large PSB files as Photoshop PDFs, including documents exceeding 30,000 pixels in one dimension.This was not an occasional use case. It became part of my regular production workflow. My completed artwork could be maintained as a PSB and supplied to my commercial printer as a PDF, which is the delivery format they require.Since updating Photoshop, the Photoshop PDF option is no longer available for these documents. I have also tested the newly released Photoshop 27.10, and the restriction remains. I confirmed the change using existing PSB files that I had previously saved successfully as PDFs. The files have not changed. The available output options in Photoshop have.I understand from Adobe’s responses that the ability to save these documents as PDFs was the result of a previous change in Photoshop that was not originally intended. However, that behavi

Stuttering/Freezing in Photoshop 27.9.1

This needs a little context, I apologise in advance. I've been using Photoshop without issue since I upgraded my PC in February, but about 2 weeks ago, Creative Cloud changed my default install location from my D: drive to my C: drive, and when I went to launch the program, it re-installed Photoshop on my C: drive instead, wiping everything I had on my D: drive (brushes, presets, plugins, preferences, etc). There was no option to restore what had been overwritten, so I uninstalled from my C: drive and reinstalled it back to my D: drive.Ever since, I have been having HORRIBLE stuttering/freezing/lagging, particularly when I zoom in/out or while I'm painting with a brush. I've never had this happen before, even before I upgraded my PC. As this is a fresh install, I have no idea what could be causing this? I do notice in scratch disks, it still lists the C: drive as the startup drive. Could this be contributing to the issue?PC specs: Windows 11, 32GB RAM (sits at ~70% usage with all my pr

Have the option to not load my entire font library instead of just the ones activated by a 3rd party program like Font AgentOpen for Voting

Turning off foreign fonts in Adobe on Mac Tahoe. I currently use the font manager Font Agent (FA) to select the fonts that I want to use for a project. I scroll through my fonts that I have carefully categorized so that I’m able to just activate the fonts I need. This makes my workflow quick and prevents my apps from lagging. I have been frustrated with seeing my font list include a ton of foreign fonts in my font menu, especially when I have no use for them. I recently discovered that Adobe does have a way to turn off foreign fonts within Photoshop but it only turns them off from my entire font library and not just the fonts that I use frequently that were activated in FA. That means that Adobe is loading my entire font library every time I open it. When I click on the font selection field, a list of fonts appears. The default is a list called "Your Fonts" these are fonts that have been activated by FA. But included in that list are all the foreign fonts that I never activated anywher

P: Ability to buy Photoshop as a perpetual license, instead of Creative CloudNot Prioritized

I understand from a very reliable source that CS6 and Lightroom 4 will be the last photoshop software that will be available to actually purchase and own. In other words...You will not be able to purchase the software either on a disc or download that is yours to use indefinitely once you purchase the product. It will only be available via the cloud and everyone will be required to pay monthly license fee to use the product. This will allow all upgrades as long as you pay the fee...but if you cease to pay the fee, the software will be deactivated. If this is the case...and I believe it is...THIS SUCKS! I have been Adobe user since I purchase the CS2 Creative Suite and used lightroom since it's inception. I have not purchase every upgrade, but have done so when I felt the changes warranted an upgrade. If Adobe insists on this business model, I will probably use one of the other photo editing product available on the market. There are several that will do most everything Adobe's software

After reinstalling Photoshop 27.9.1, all my preferences, actions, and plugins are gone—for my daily work, this is a total disaster! How can I restore all of this?

The previous version of Photoshop crashed, so I restarted my Mac and reinstalled Photoshop; after that, all my personal settings were gone; how can I restore them?

Is there a way to change the bullet color in Photoshop's automatic bullets?

I’m setting up a Photoshop layered file with a bulleted list. It will be easier for the other users if the text has the bulleted list style automatically applied, so I used the bullet style in the Paragraph panel. But is there any way to change the bullet color? Right now it’s the same color as the text, and I would like there to be a contrast.Drawing the shapes manually is not the best solution for a template that various people will have to use. Is there a hidden option somewhere that would allow me to change the color, as in InDesign?
