I like to stack images in tabs within a window so I can easily switch between the two to see the differences.  I also like to have a white border when doing so.  This always worked great in previous versions of PS, but somewhere along the way the behavior of windows changed.   If you watch the screen recording, if I expand the window so there is a white space, all images in different tabs in the window have different amounts of white space which makes lining them up difficult.   In the past, if I expanded a window with multiple images in tabs, each tab would have identical white space, making them line up perfectly.   Please fix this bug.   Using latest version of PS 2025 on MacOS  15.4.1.   Jeff

Hope to get some guidance on JPEG XL Save As options.  I want to save a large image (15000x15600) as a jpeg for printing.  (I was surprised to find that some professional labs, like Bay Photo, include jpegs in their list of preferred file types.)  Two questions: (1) I want maximum quality.  In the Photoshop Save As dialogue box, under Color Compression, I can choose Lossless or Lossy.  If I choose Lossy, I can set the Quality slider to 100 (Maximum, large file).  My sense is that Lossless is the better choice to maximize quality.  With Lossless, I have no Quality settings.  Does that indicate that Lossless automatically maximizes quality? (2) If my purpose is not to re edit the file but rather to send the file to a lab for printing, my sense is that I do not need to include metadata.  Is that correct?

I have recently had this issue with the latest versions of PS. Having read of historic similar issues I reset my Preferences and the issue disappeared.  However, when I reset my personal preferences the problem returned. Following some trial and error adjustments, I have established that the Preference that I had changed from the defaults which caused my problem was the "Preferences/Workspace/Open Documents as Tabs" one.  I have always unticked this box but it appears to be what is causing the failure of the Brightness/Contrast sliders. Not the end of the world to leave it ticked but clearly not what should be happening.I have been a PS user since 1998 and never had anything like this before. However I have recently updated my PC to get Windows 11 compatibility, buying a Dell XPS 8960. Whether this could also be a factor I don't know. 

Hi everyone,I’m dealing with a major issue in Photoshop 2020. During basic tasks like editing two or three photos, my entire system freezes — even the shut down and task manager stop responding. I have to force shutdown the system every time to get it back to normal. My System Specs:• Photoshop Version: 2020• GPU: RTX 4060 8GB• RAM: 32GB (16×2)• Processor: Intel Core i7• Storage: SSD (Photoshop is installed on SSD)• Scratch Disk: Assigned to 😧 drive (with 250 gb free space available )  

I just opened up my PSD file to make minor edits and when I wanted to apply the gradient, it shows an error as the title topic suggest. No idea what caused the bug as it popped out suddenly. Appreciate if there are any workarounds. Cheers.

 The keyboard shortcut to show/hide the grid has stopped working. I checked in the settings and it's still set to default (Commnd + '), but when I try to use the shortcut nothing happens. I have reset the preferences, restarted Photoshop without plugins and still not working! The same issue exists in After Effects, which uses the same keystrokes for that shortcut. Other Command shortcuts work fine and the ' key works. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

 Hi all, I've scoured the internet for a solution to my problem with Contact Sheet II to no avail.Everytime I try to generate a Contact Sheet in Photoshop it comes out blank. Nothing shows up, no layers or text is created. I tried adjusting everything in the settings I could; changing the color profile to every different one, I tried CMYK. Checked and unchecked almost every setting I could. Nothing has changed. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop.  I'm on a Windows 10 computer with everything needed for Photoshop to run updated: version 22.4.3 Photoshop. Any help is appreciated. I use the Contact Sheet generator for work and would love to get this fixed ASAP. Thanks!

Anyone else experiencing very very slow times to save PNG with the latest Photoshop version?I can save PNG using Apple Mac with the simple Preview app in a fraction of the time Adobe Lightroom takes. Is it just a bug in my version, or does everyone else experience this as well?

Hi there! I am a concept artist and game texture painter, and both me and my employer studio choose Photoshop for our content creation and have done so for years. Photoshop Filters are powerful and useful for many Photoshop users, but many of them are now looking dated, lacking in relevance and in flexibility. Substance Designer is showing Adobe users just how flexible and powerful procedural filters can be. Substance Designer can replicate the Filters that Photoshop offers, and go beyond that with a wide array of more sophisticated nodes and graphs. So I propose an overhaul of the existing Photoshop Filters, taking learnings from Substance Designer, hopefully integrating Substance technology and user interface to increase user cross-compatibility. Proposal below (Apologies for all the details):1. Use Designer's nodes to re-build the legacy set of Photoshop Filters, and provide them within Photoshop's UI. But expose more user control.2. Add some new, refreshing, use

I've had Adobe CC for years, and now I can't use it anymore. I'm asked: start the free trial or buy this product. What should I do?

When I convert a Raw image file to JPEG, PS 2025  is showing it as 16 bit. After converting using an Action or manually, when I open the image later in PS, the tab shows 16 bit, the Mode shows 16 bit even though a JPEG. In addition, when I did the conversion, I changed the image size settings to 1000 px longest side and 72 ppi resolution. Besides the 16 bit indication, when I open Image Size to check the settings, the resolution is 300 instead of 72 (however the longest side is 1000 px). I'm certain PS recognizes it as JPEG, but displays 16 bit. Also why did the resolution  not change? When I check Info on the file it shows the correct settings and the correct file size. Anyone else stumble onto this? It's a weird bug. Thanks

My internet connected computer won't run file sending programs like wetransfer and applications like productive expand or productive fill in adobe photoshop program. There was no such problem before. In my research I saw that it might be caused by the firewall, but whatever I did I could not solve the problem. I am connected to the internet via cable, I also tried using my phone's internet and I had the same problem. how can I fix this problem?

disk space restriction issues with photoshop v26

UPDATESo I spoke with Adobe support and after wasting a couple hours of my time after which it became clear the person I spoke to had completely misunderstood the issue and was therefore no help in fixing it. He said he would "speak to his manager" and get back to me which, predictably, never happened.Eventually, I spoke to someone else when nobody got back in touch. They said this is a well known problem with Photoshop and the only two things that MIGHT help would be to package the files via Bridge - an option which does not appear to exist as far as I could find. OR Move the files off the cloud to package them - which means I would be basically manually packaging them anyway.  Complete crock of sh*t.  Oh, and, if you do manage to get rid of the missing objects, wherever the hell they are (which took over 4 hours of opening and checking every single linked or smart object in the file - a single file which was 1 of about 50 files I needed to package), the pain doesn

Hello! I'm not a professional but a student. Since I’ve finished my courses, which will resume in October, I wanted to ask if it’s possible to suspend my subscription and reactivate it in a couple of months, instead of deleting and recreating it.If that’s not possible and I’m forced to cancel the subscription, my Behance account will still remain active and visible, right?Thank you to anyone who will help me!

Hello,I'm experiencing an issue with the gradient tool in Adobe Photoshop (beta), Photoshop 26.8.1.After opening a file and applying adjustments (levels, layers, etc.), when I assign a mask and try to use the gradient tool — nothing happens. It simply doesn’t respond or display. The only workaround is to close and reopen the file, after which the gradient works normally again.This bug interrupts my workflow significantly, and I would appreciate your assistance in resolving it.

Happens on my 4090 RTX, with 300 GB free in my Local Disk C / Scratch disks.It also occurs on the 2024 version of Photoshop.The image I'm working on is just HD 1920x1080, and the smart object I'm perspective warping is only 2000x2000 pixels.

I'm very interested as well as intrigued, why is this happening.  I'm also having problems with photoshop and pictures that are in JPEG.  I get things popping up stating ( Photoshop doesn't support jpeg files.  So here I sit with a brand new camera and the newest Mac Pro

This should be the most simple thing ever but I cannot figure it out in PS. ID has a straight-forward selection tool. Apparently PS does not. I am trying to make a very simple graphic to place in an InDesign file. It is just a colored square with text over it. I made the mistake of making the text box first then the square. I cannot select either the box or the textbox to move the text on top. Why can't Adobe make a selection tool that are consistent from one tool (PS) to another (ID) or vice versa. I can't find any useful "Help" to make such a simple edit.I really want to understand PS but it is so not intuitive compared to anything else out there.

Just about everytime I go to edit photo in Photoshop from Lightroom, Photoshop locks up while the progress bar is on sceen and I end up having to force quit. I've upgraded to the latest version of Photoshop but this problem started with the previous version. Anyone else having this problem?

Subject: How do I assign keyboard shortcuts to my new Tool Presets in Photoshop 2025?Hi everyone,I’m on Photoshop 25.5.1 (latest) on macOS Sonoma. I just created two custom Move-tool presets—one set to Auto-Select > Layer, the other to Auto-Select > Group. They show up fine in the Tool Presets panel and work when I click them manually. Problem: I can’t figure out how to give each preset its own keyboard shortcut.In Edit ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts I’ve checked all the usual categories (Tools, Application Menus, Panel Menus, etc.), but I don’t see my new presets listed anywhere.I’ve already confirmed Include Tool Settings was turned on when I saved the presets.Restarting Photoshop and resetting prefs didn’t help. What am I missing? Is there a hidden section for Tool Preset shortcuts, or has Adobe removed that option in recent versions? Any work-arounds (scripting, UXP, third-party utilities) are welcome if the native route is gone. Thanks in advance!Also here my photoshop

salve,non riesco ha trovare il download del Photoshop CS2, qualcuno mi può aiutare?Grazie.

When I select part of a photograph in Photoshop using, say a oblong selection tool, I get the marching ants. Is there a way that I can get the marching ants but also black out the area not selected. I find it difficult to visualise the finished object until I crop, then often need to go back and reposition the selection box. I would like to be able to move the selected area around, with the background blacked out to get my composition correct, then crop the part I want. I hope you understand what I mean.   {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Photoshop Forum by Moderator} 

I've used ~ to toggle the brush to clear mode for as long as I can remember, but it has recently stopped working. I checked my keyboard shortcuts and the setting still appears to be correct, but it doesn't actually toggle back and forth between normal and clear modes for the brush any longer.  I've checked several forums and found no solutions that work for me.
