Photoshop

Hello,  I have a problem which I can only work around by restarting PS. But it happens about every 10 minutes, it is really frustrating and I can't find a solution. When I am working at first there is no problem at all. Sometimes I can work for an hour straight without any problems, other times it happens after a couple of minutes.  The Problem is that PS starts to Stutter when zooming in or out. It can even zoom in or out all the way to the max, so far that the canvas is so small (or big) that I can't even see it anymore.  Also when I grap the canvas to move it, the whole canvas jumps back to the place where I initially grapped it.  The second problem that occurs when the above happens is that my other tools start to freak out. For example: If I have a brush selected and I paint somewhere PS creates all kinds of random lines over my canvas.  I've attatched a short video to this report which shows the problem. Version: 26.0.0 (it i

I've been experiencing this bug in all version of CS so far. It hasn't been fixed by any update. When placing an .ai vector smart object in Photoshop the object gets automatically distorted. Instead of placing at 100% on both horizontal and vertical axes it gets randomly distorted. This is a serious issue when using logos or other branding artwork where it's critical for it to be in proportion. I've also noticed that if I delete an element from the .ai file the smart object distorts even more severely once it updates, even though the artboard is unchanged and the outermost edges of vector art are also identical. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I recently tried to install my version of photoshop CS6 on a new laptop. However. After downloading and installing the files and entering the serial provided by my adobe account. It says invalid serial number.This is not a software issue. Everything was working on windows 10 on my old laptop, and the 30 day trial version has no problem running on the new laptop.The serial number has been verified as valid by online support. I was told to deactivate the software on the old laptop. So this has already been done. I know the software is not supported anymore. But the issue is not the software. The issue seems to be the online serial validation not accepting a working serial. Any help would be very much appreciated.Best RegardsChristian

I have an action that runs a few plug-ins, NIK, Luminar and On1. Today, when I tried running the action and when it gets to Luminar, I was getting an alert about "Luminar can't be run", or words to that effect. So I deleted the Luminar plugin part of the action and then tried to re-record that filter, now, the space with that plugin is left blank, (no description). It does work, it's just weird that there is no descriptor there. I have reset the setting for Photoshop, deleted and reloaded Luminar, but still with the same issue.PS 26.10.0, Mac Studio M4 Max,Thanks in advance.  

hey guys, from this morning. i am having a removal tool issue. some times it's working, but mostly not. crashing the app after i canccel or it's automatic after a long wait. What to do? 

When working in the Photoshop Web App I'm unable to change the font that I am working with on Text layers.  The workflow I'm using is: Click the Text Layer button > Use the curser to click where I want the text > Type my text > Highlight my text > Try to change the font.  I am able to change color and size of the text without problem, but not the font. I tried changing from the mobile toolbar as well as from layer properties. I tried closing and relaunching my browser, clearing my cache, logging out and back in, creating a new project, and restarted my computer. The issue persists through it all. I've attached a video to display the issue.  Any advice is welcome!

In a file with 2 large artboards, the background of each board had a circular gradient. When exporting, the circular gradient changed to linear and I couldn't export the original design without first rasterizing the layer so that it wouldn't generate a change in the design. En un archivo con 2 mesas de trabaja de gran tamaño, en cada mesa el fondo tenia degradado circular, al exportgar el degradado circular cambio a lineal y no pude exportar el diseño original sin antes rasterizar la capa para que no generara un cambio en el diseño.

Hi, See attached .psd file, generated by PTGui. It contains an XMP section with the following GPS location: <exif:GPSVersionID>2.2.0.0</exif:GPSVersionID><exif:GPSLatitude>51,55.8650N</exif:GPSLatitude><exif:GPSLongitude>4,28.2967W</exif:GPSLongitude>Photoshop's File - Info shows this incorrectly as 51.0 and 4.0. I think the XMP data is formatted according to spec:GPSCoordinate A Text value in the form “DDD,MM,SSk” or “DDD,MM.mmk”, where: DDD is a number of degrees MM is a number of minutes SS is a number of seconds mm is a fraction of minutes k is a single character N, S, E, or W indicating a direction (north, south, east, west) Leading zeros are not necessary for the for DDD, MM, and SS values. The DDD,MM.mmk form should be used when any of the native EXIF component rational values has a denominator other than 1. There can be any number of fractional digits.​

 I bought some Grut Brushes awhile ago, and now I have hundreds of brush tip shapes in my Brush Settings; is there any way to organize them? I don't know how they are currently organized, doesn't appear to be alphabetical or any other way I've noticed, and there will be multiples of the same brush tip with just different sizes dozens of spots away from each other. IE: "Grut - PT Pebbles 03" is 30 spots away from "Grut - PT Pebbles 02". I wanted to play around with these and create my own brushes but they are extremely diffcult to navigate, or am I completely mistaken and that's not what these are there for?  

Hi Everyone,This crashing has been happening since I started using the AI type features like Deghost or any masking that uses the AI component.  I've been cruising all of the Crash posts and have tried everything mentioned with no success so now I need help.  I am running on Windows 11 ver 24H2.  Things I have done; 1. Made sure just one GPU is available - new nVidia RTX 5060 - Compatible.2. Downloaded newest Photoshop 26.13. Updated Bridge and Creative Cloud4. Updated nVidia Driver to latest.5. Deleted all preferences on Camera Raw6. Checked for available memory with no issues - 32GB installed7. No other conflicting TSR or start-up programs that are monitoring file changes.8. Confirmed that photoshop.exe and sniffer.exe is listed under the 3D programs within nVidia control panel Please let me know if I've missed something that I should have also checked.  I attach the System info dump from Photoshop below; Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.10.0 202508

I have just bought a new MS Surface Book 2 and the Surface Pen. Had installed Photoshop and TabletPro/. it works ok in overall usage, but, a have a great problem using it in my Photoshop. When I use a stamp tool I need to use ALT button a lot. And, unfortunately, it doesn't work in photoshop correctly. Do you have a solution to this problem? thnx

何度も設定を削除して起動しなおしているが、一向によくならないadobe製品の信頼性は何とかならないのか？？もっと堅牢で整合されたUIのスマートな製品を望む。バカ高い金を取ってるんだからそれくらいしろ。

My brushes keep disappearing, for absolutely no reason. It's the second time this has happened. It's not now blank and i have no idea how to get them back.

In Clip Studio and Illustrator CS6 too, there’s a very convenient copy and paste function like Ctrl+C copies selected layers and folders to a clipboard, and Ctrl+V pastes them exactly in place. This is especially useful if I forget to save the original image. For example, I can copy the current state of a layer or group of layers with Ctrl+C, then go back to an earlier point in my workflow and paste the layers I’ve been working on, almost like a time machine. Photoshop CS6 doesn’t have this. Does anyone know of a script that can achieve the same thing?

This might be a simple question, I don't know, but I use to be able to select a layer beneath another with the move tool. Now I can't. I was trying to figure this out on Chat GPT, but it kept saying to select the "Auto-select" check box in the options bar. The problem is, I'm not seeing it there (or in the three dots, or in the gear icon). So how to I turn the Auto-select back on? Thanks!

So I know how to create a path and type along the path, but then the text is just all kinds of messed up, typing backwards, half the words showing up on the bottom of the curved path I'd made. What am I doing wrong here?

hi, In ps2025 (26.7.0), when exporting a layer as a jpg file using the right-click menu, the color may change or the image may become brighter.Sometimes when I right-click on a group to export, it gets messed up and only one layer within the group is exported.

Hello, I am currently using the 20GB Adobe plan on two personal computers, and I also have a perpetual license for Photoshop CS5, which I use on a separate work computer (different device). Recently, the desktop computer I used for work suddenly broke down. As a result, I wasn’t able to deactivate Photoshop CS5 on that machine before it became unusable. I installed Photoshop CS5 from the original CD on a new work computer, and it worked fine for a few days. However, now I’m getting a message saying that the license is already in use on two computers, and I can no longer use it. Since I can’t access the original work computer to deactivate it, I’m looking for advice.Is there any way to deactivate Photoshop CS5 from the previous (now unusable) computer? Thank you in advance for your help!

 Is there an option to change what file tab displays? Or set width?My patience is over...Is there an option to choose the displayed info? Let's pretend, that I know in other ways on witch layer I'm on, at what zoom size I currently work and in what color mode...  can I disable displaying of it on my files tabs?! Isn't the whole deal of tabs is working on multiple of them?! Would you use a browser with tabs, which displays Page zoom level, the full title and lead of the column you are reading and some other worthless information, which blocks you from seeing at least four of your other tabs? Is there an option to set tab width? If, it's too hard for Adobe to make these check boxes in UI preferences, then maybe there's a simple option... a slider for tab width? The default would be checked at auto, but if the user doesn't want to see all the [removed], he can manually slide the width of a tab to lover value? Tabs occupied space in "standard" and "full screen with menu" mode So there's no

Hi there.   I've been trying to work with multiple selected layers, but I don't know how to do it. If I select multiple layers, app.activeDocument.activeLayer only returns  the topmost one.   By the way, I'm looking for a way of doing it without using all that low level ActionReference stuff. It really clutters up the code and it's very hard to understand.   Thanks.

I don't know why, but Photoshop simply won't launch now. I tried launching in 2025 and in beta, but nothing happens. I'm running Windows 11 Home on a PC. Need this resolved asap please. 

I have a friend that does watercolours. I want to take her image and remove the background altogether so that I can have a solid white background. Now the lighter version jpg attached, the backgound doesn't look bad but if you check the darker version you can see how bad it really is. Since the image is a watercolour, without clearly defined edges, it there any easier way than to  darken the image and then painstakingly erasing the background? Bob

Seria bom poder fazer mais de uma prancheta. Fui fazer um carrossel e me surpreendi de não possuir uma ferramenta tão básica e tão essencial nos dias atuais.

Hi, Thanks to all who took part in our previous challenge, there were some great ideas to hide the cellphone mast.    This week we have something a bit different. I made this cell like pattern in Adobe Substance 3D Designer. It was for a different purpose and was made with a full set of 3D maps to use as a material. I wondered though what this group could make with the Base Colour map? So here it is. You could use all of it, part of it, or tile it (it was made to tile) and use the extended pattern to make something new.   When you post your response can you add just a few words on how you went about it. It may help others see the potential of different approaches, software, and tools to such a challenge. 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. Thi
