Photoshop

Since a few days Photoshop CC version (23.4.1) randomly makes it unable to click anything. It just makes the sound like there is an open window - but there isn't one. This happens after startup, and sometimes during work. All that I can do is forcing to close via the task manager. Only thing thats works is restarting the computer. Which is a pain, since all open windows will be closed as well.  Please fix this.

I installed Photoshop. When I try to launch it, the system tells me: "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the Application." I've reinstalled the program ten times, but it's still the same. Does anyone have a solution?

Idk what I did but now the image displays the word "green" at the top and now the paint bucket and any form of drawing just comes out grey white or black. Could anyone tell me what I did and how to fix it?   On Mac, latest version of PS.

Hi,Since updating to CC2017 many things have not worked as they used to at their defaults so this may be user error.I have the eraser set to opacity 100% and Flow 100%, but the eraser does not erase 100%. In the attached screenshot, you can see that I am attempting to erase the black background. I put the green behind to see my progress/make sure nothing was missed. Here is what I have tried:Tried using my mouse instead of wacom tablet.Tried using block and pencil, both do the same thing as brushTried resetting the toolHardness is at 100%Tried clicking and unclicking "pressure for opacity" next to opacityTried clicking and unclicking airbrushTried googling the answer but didn't really find anything applicable.The background eraser does the exact same thing.What am I doing wrong?

Since the last update of Photoshop and Illustrator spacebar and move doesn't work anymore.The hand shows up when I press space but when I left click it doesn't move around.

This one nearly slipped past me, so if you use iPhone and have not seen this already, it's an exciting new camera app with some very impressive capabilities.   I saw it on Colin Smiths channel, but there's a long Feature Introduction thread on the Lightroom forum.   Colin's intro A short user guide also from Colin https://research.adobe.com/articles/indigo/indigo.html   Note to Adobe Admins:  This is intended as a heads up to the Photoshop regulars who don't use Lightroom, so may have missed Project Indigo.  So please don't move the thread.  

Hello Adobe Support Team,I am experiencing a persistent issue with Camera Raw filter in Photoshop.Problem description:When I try to use Filter → Camera Raw, I get this error:“The command 'Camera Raw Filter' could not be completed: a program error occurred.”⚠️ What I already tried (none helped):✅ Reset Photoshop preferences✅ Clean reinstall of Photoshop✅ Reinstall and update Camera Raw✅ Update GPU drivers✅ Run as Administrator✅ Launch without third-party plugins✅ Check scratch disks and free up space✅ Install previous and newer versions of Photoshop✅ Used Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool for full cleanupℹ️ Additional context:Camera Raw always worked fine on my PC, even though I use Photoshop version 25.12.3 (not the latest).I updated Camera Raw to 17.4.1, and since then this crash occurs every time.I don’t understand why it suddenly stopped working when it was perfectly fine before.💻 My system detai

Hi all,  I've seen answers to this query (or ones like it) but haven't come across anything that's solved my problem, so apologies if I'm covering old ground. Due to an unrelated Photoshop problem, I fully uninstalled and reinstalled the programme the other day. Obviously when I reinstalled it, the custom brushes I'd made weren't around any more (not a suprise!).  Given that I didn't back them up myself specfically, I thought I'd be able to find them in an older version of my system back up using Time Machine — but when navigating to the presets > brushes folder they're actually all empty. I'm sure I'm just looking in the wrong place or something but if anyone has any guidance on where Photoshop stores those presets by default, that'd be fab. This is where I've been looking:I'm using Ps 2021 with a Mac running MacOS Big Sur 11.2.1.

Since the latest version, the Brightness/Contrast preview seems to be broken.  There is no preview.  The sliders work once you finish but you cannot adjust them with preview.  

After doing liquify on a smart object/rasterized layer, there are random dead pixels showing up on the whole image and it stays as it is while saving a jpeg/tiff file. Attached is a screenshot of an area of an image after liquify. Can anyone please suggest a solution for this? I have updated PS, restarted it, worked on a different file but still the issue persists. I am currently on CC 2018. TIA          

Hi, the Chinese font inside the option bar seems corrupted. It's not as smooth compare to the menu bar. I wonder how do I fix this, it's happening to all of my adobe products? I'm on a windows 10.

Same problem with me. I pay money to Adobe but it is not working 

There is not a lot of artistic freedom when using generative AI in Adobe.  Generation has become so frustrating that I only use generative ai to subtract or add generic objects in Photoshop. As a result, I find that my allocated generative AI credits is almost  full at the end of the billing cycle. To add to the frustration I cannot even use my generative AI credits to generate a "generic" video in Firefly - it notifies me that I should purchase a Firefly plan, yet Firefly is included in my "all apps" subscription and my account has full gen ai credits. My suggestions are:1. Make the subscriber's gen ai credits available across all the apps in the subscriber's plan.2. Make gen ai useful for artists, for example: In designing a provocative album cover. It's rated PG, not R. Why treat it as R during the editing process? Constantly issuing warnings that breaks the artistic flow that leads to abandoning the project to use "other" apps? Can't you just judge the final work and

Trying to install 64_VisionaryPanel_2.ccx plugin, the Plugin Manager fails to remove the old version and also to install a new one.  It promptly opens up Creative Cloud instead.  Please help.

Using Photoshop latest version, Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.8.0 20250611.r.16 96beaa5 x64. I am working in the ProPhoto RGB color space. Normally I am able to go to Edit -> Convert to Profile, and from that dialog, choose sRGB. In this same dialog I am able to select the option to also flatten the image in the proces.However, since version 26.8 this option is greyed out and also not selected. So now when I convert the image it always retains its layers. Seems like a bug. I can't imagine this is by design? It is for sure killing my workflow, as I am running scripts that depend on being able to flatten the image during the color profile conversion. Anyone else notice this? 

Photoshop 2025MacOS Sequoia 15.01 Bonjour à tous, Depuis la mise à jour vers Photoshop 2025, un bug ne me facilite pas la tache : lorque l'on veut déformer un texte avec l'outil T "Créer un texte déformé" qui est dans la barre d'option quand on utilise le Texte, ce bouton reste grisé et inutilisable. Il est présent, mais pas fonctionnel. On est obligé de faire plusieurs manipulations pour parvenir à déformer le texte alors que le bouton de raccourci est là pour éviter ces manipulations.J'ai réinitialisé les options par défaut, mais rien n'y fait...Est-ce que vous rencontrez aussi ce souci ?Merci de votre aide. Ci-joint une capture d'écran.   

How do I convert my cr2 image from camera into a jepeg to send online without losing the color and quality of the cr2 image?  Mine gets really bad when I convert to jpeg.  Can I size a cr2 also?

Whenever you want to turn a smart object back into layers (without retaining transforms) it works fine until you check the "don't show again" box- then it'll never do it and will just act like clicking rasterize. To fix this, you'll have to reset all warning dialogs, which is extremely annoying. I've noticed this also happens whenever you add a keyboard shortcut to it. 

Using a Mac Mini with the M4 chip with an Apple monitor (both new). Latest operating system and latest vesrion of Photoshop.  When opening an image, no keyboard tool shortcuts will work. You have to manually click on another tool with the cursor then from that point on all keyboard shortcust will work. Or if you happen to be on a particular tool like brush tool, if you brush a line in on the image, then undo, everything will work after that. I have spoken to about 12 different Adobe agents over a month. They have taken control of the computer, tried all sorts of fixes. Nothing has worked.  My colleague has a simliar problem, he is using a wired in keyboard and I am using a wireless keyboard. The problem occurs on  both. We both use a Wacom tablet, but even when getting rid of thsi and using a mouse, the problem occurs. Must be a bug that stops Photoshop talking to the computer effectively.    Might be something to do with full screen mode. If I press 'f' it wil

On Photoshop I have three different layers right now. I selected part of my drawing on the third layer and tried to adjust it with the move tool, but it keeps changing to my first layer! How do I only move the things in the layer I want without it switching the another layer?   {Thread renamed by moderator}

I cannot make good pen lines with a thick stroke. It gets all out of wack. Is it possible to make my lines and change them afterwards?

Note : I edited this first message for clarity's sake and in order to be the more complete possible.Hi, there are at least 2 other topics relating this bug but they seem to have been left behind so I take the liberty to open a new one. The bug is simple to describe : when you use a brush with pen pressure in Photoshop, there's a delay between the moment you press your pen against the glass of your tablet and the moment a dot appear on your file in photoshop. The only way to work around this bug is to check the "airbrush" option.Here are the links to the other topics talking about it :https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/brush-stroke-delay-not-lag-brush-stro...https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/can-t-draw-dots-or-very-small-things-...Here is a video I took showing the problem (first the airbrush option is on, then it's off, notice the difference as I press on the tablet with the pen and no dot appears directly - I chose especially a

I just noticed this weird bug in the Curves Adjustment Layer. the Adjustment LAYER itself doesn't have an option to change the setting "Show Amount of:" to "Light" or to "Pigment/Ink", but the Curves Adjustment has that option. The bug is that when that option is changed in the Curves adjustment, it is retained for the Curves Adjustment Layer, with no option to change it in the actual Adjustment Layer, even after restarting photoshop.  To change it back for Curves Adjustment Layer, you need to call the Curves Adjustment and change it from there, and maybe redo any Curves Adjustment layers that you already have.
