Photoshop

Hi there,I wondered if anyone could help me. I have a number of images that have been sent to me that need cleaning up - especially the removal of a sort of colour banding across the image that I think might have been caused during the original scanning.I have enclosed an image to give you some idea of the problem. Can this be solved with some action or something?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Kind Regards

'Could not complete the File Info command because the Metadata library could not be loaded.' Mac OS 11.7.10 Big Sur. I did a search for this which just took me to a dead end. Any help would be appreciated. 

I installed the latest updates for bridge and Photoshop 2024 (25.12.0) on my imac, which is running MacOS Big Sur 11.7.10. When I went to edit some file info, I get a message"Could not complete the File Info command because the Metadata library could not be loaded."I can edit the file info using bridge, but it's tedious, because it doesn't remember the past info I've entered in previous files. I put a lot of the same descriptions in for photos intended as stock and liked doing it in Photoshop. I have tried simple uninstall and re-install (but keeping preferences) with no effect. I don't see any old messages about this particular error, except in a version of Elements. I can't install Photoshop v26 because my 2017-era mac doesn't support the latest OS that requires.

I have a Windows 10 Pro workstation that is completely up to date with an up to date version of Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 installed. When I attempt to run a batch through the automate menu, I receive this error: "Could not complete the Batch command because the file could not be found." No matter what action and folders I attempt to use, I receive this error. I did my best to search for others experiencing this problem, but could not find anything online with this exact error message.Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!Kris

I want to ask about Layerizing Method For Layerizing, Color Separation & Recoloring Digital Rasterized Textile Print Patterns. (For controlling the colors for printing on fabrics.) Like floral patterns etc. As far as I know there are two methods used for this purpose Method 1) Separating Va ColorsTaking samples from the colors from the different color sections on the rasterized image then create swatches and separate the parts which colored with these certain swatches via color channels. Method 2) Auto Trace or Manual Trace the different sections on the rasterizxed image.  Question 1) Which method do you recommend? Is there other method do you recommend for another specific setting? Why? Question 2) How to recolorize after layerizing?Creating a fill layer and set the layer merge settign as "color" etc.? 

Uneble to create "New Document" in photoshop 2025 26.6.0. it didn't create.

When taking photos with an iPhone, the file is an HEIC. With some photos (especially buildings, bridges, and other objects in the background), there is an “outline halo” around the object in the image with an HEIC file. I usually remove the outline halo by either tracing around with the Remove Tool or use the Cloning Tool. It works but is very time consuming. Is there a quicker way (possibly through Photoshop's A.I.) that will quickly recognize this outline halo, analyze it, and get rid of it? It would save a great deal of time.

I have downloaded 25 images from LR in layers and am adjusting opacity on each image. When I get to the last image as soon as I reduce opacity the image is transparent. Take it back to 100% and the image is back. I have done this process a number of times without issue so I am not able to understand what is ahppening here. Can you help please.

I simply do not understand why.. everytime I right click now, no matter the tool (pen, bush etc) i dont get specific tool options but a static option to show the contextual task bar or change the outter artboard color. who in the world okayed this?!

Good day. We have a number of Photoshop actions which resize image files, reducing the pixel value of the long side and using the conditional command to distinguish between images in landscape and portrait orientation. In other words, there's a separate resizing action for both landscape and portrait, and the Master action runs one of these two based on image orientation. Without a discernible pattern, a batch using this action will occasionally fail with the message The command "If" is not currently available. Typically, I've just deleted the conditional action and re-recorded using the two source actions, and then I can complete the batch. I'm curious to know what causes this error and how to avoid it. Any insight from the community would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Photoshop is tagging my original content as AI Generated and I want answers in how to fix this issue.  It tags meta data into the files saying it contains ai content when I use my personally drawn in procreate illustrations that I have then vectored and put into photoshop to give client mockups. Why? The service center is absolutely usless at the moment and don't get back to you. All this AI nonsense is just causing issues left right and center - It is supposed to be industry standard but standards are way less than ideal. With this issue I am trying to export a .jpeg or .png and its saying it has to tag it as ai generated which is absolutely insulting.

I tried to create a video slide show in PhotoShop.  What is the best jpg deminsions?  My goal is to view the show on a TV.  I created at show using 1920 x 1080 resolution, 72 dpi.  I was using jpgs created in PhotoShop, approximate file size 5 megs each ( 8x10 inch, 300 dpi), importing 200 images.  The initial import was going to be over 2 gigabytes, which exceeds Photoshop capacity, I had to save save the project  in large file format. What should be my goal to size down these travel photos  to balance final video resolution and file size. Thank you

When I use CTRL and + or - keys it zooms way too much. It goes from 100% straight to 200% when going in. When zooming out from 100% it takes smaller steps, but what if I want to have the same steps when zooming it? I would like it to go from 100% to 125% or 150% at the very least. Sometimes the zoom is too much and I know that I can set the exact value in the lower left corner, but I want to work fast and not having to type when painting. Any help, please?

I use ACR w/ Photoshop 2026. My workflow is to open RAW files from bridge into ACR. Its hard to get a general feel for some images without opening them in ACR and making a few edits. But for images that are open in ACR, is there any way I can save the rating, even if I don't open the image in Photoshop? I may want to come back to the pics later based on rating without opening them in Photoshop.

MacBook Air 15" M2, Sonoma OS 14.5. Sometimes I am unable to Save or Save As a HEIC or TIFF file and sometimes I'm unable to Save or Save As those files as a JPEG in Photoshop 2024. I can only save as a JPEG 2000 in the types of files available in the drop down list. I have posted screen captures of the dialog box that appears. Even if I make a duplicate of either file and try to save I cannot save. The image file is 8 bit, no layers other than base layer. I have experienced this issue since replacing my old MacBook with the MacBook Air. I did not have this issue with my old laptop. I don't know if it's the computer, the software, or the user. Any explanations for this or suggestions? Thanks for your help

System Cannot find the path specified (Save for Web, CTR+Shift+Alt+S)All CC Products are up to date, also direct saving it on desktop doesn't work

I normally run the Beta version of Photoshop.  The last few days I noticed that it was taking a long time to store files.  I eventually decided to take a look and after checking the size of the PSD files being saved I was shocked to find that many were more than 800 Mb and a few even over 1 Gb.  The files I was editing were NEFs and typically in the range of 50 Mb each.  I had been using Topaz AI to remove noise and sometimes sharpening the image.  This was done as a Smart Filter applied to a Smart Object version of the image on Layer 0.  I was also using a Camera Raw filter on the Smart Object.  Other layers were added above, but not more than around 10.  Based on my past experience I expected the file size to increase by 50% to 100%.  Once I noticed the huge files being generated I tried both the Beta and Production version with a simple edit of a NEF file.  No smart objects were created and I did not use Topaz or the Camera Raw filte

When using the automatic Image Assets export through the Automate>Generator Plugins>Image Assets option and using any scaling with custom names on the layers the layer styles break and wont scale properly.Actual result:For instance when creating the assets in double the size and having a layer named "default 50%" to shrink the exported images, then the exports come out in the right size but the layer styles are now double the sizes/distances because Photoshop first shrinks the layer before baking and exporting out the resulting image.Expected result:Layer styles should scale together with the artwork so the resulting image looks the same.The bake and export would have to happen first and then the scaling of the resulting image.

Dear ChatGPT: Tell me how to change the text select behaviour when clicking in fields in Photoshop. Currently, when I click on any field in the Photoshop interface all the text in that field is selected, which makes editing any part of the text in that field difficult because I have to click again to select only the text I want to change.Answer: This is a common annoyance in Photoshop’s interface — by default, clicking into a numeric/text input field (like opacity, font size, tracking, etc.) auto-selects all text in that field.To stop Photoshop from auto-selecting all the text when you click into a field, follow these steps...Needless to say, the steps advised do not work, in fact there seems no way to stop this "common annoyance" at all. Is this another case of Adobe just dropping the ball and removing choice "for simplicity's sake"?Anyone know how to fix this?

Hey, I have been tryin to save for web (legacy) on Photoshop 2025, and I keep getting an error message saying "Could not complete this operation. A write permissions error has occured". I have checked my permissions, and have write permissions for Adobe including Photoshop. I have also resetted my preferences in settings.  Is there anything I can do?  

Hello! Im working on a large file at the moment in Photoshop and im having a bit of lag and slowdown. The document that im working on now is 7000x7000 pixels 300dpi and around 70 layers so it might not be a surprise that im having issues but at the same time I have a pretty powerful computer ( 32 gig ram and i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz processor and Ge-Force GTX 2060 Graphics Card).  So I dont know if my document is  simply to big/taxing or if i have a a setting wrong on my computer/photoshop or if I might be in need of a reformat on my computer..Iv'e tried variuos settings on the performance tab in photoshop to some sucess, Iv'e heard that Photoshop has actually become worse in handling large formats compared to the 2015 version? I also had one problem where Photoshop simply would not save, it was stuck at 0 Percent. Any way, any feedback would be most helpful! 

Hello Adobe Team,I work with satellite images in RGB format, where each channel represents a different spectral band (e.g., Band 3, 2, 1). I use Photoshop's Generative Fill to fix visual distortions in the image.After editing, I need to export the result in a way that ArcMap can read it as a 4-band TIFF file — not just RGB, but with an actual 4th band added (e.g., a cleaned version of Band 4).Is there a way to do this inside Photoshop? Or export a TIFF from Photoshop that supports more than 3 bands?If not, are there recommended workflows that combine Photoshop and GIS software to achieve this?Thank you!

Hi community!First off, thank you for any responses I receive!  I appreciate it! PS:  I'm using the 26.5.0 release - monthly subscription.Projects:  I sublimate onto aluminum panels using an Epson SC-F170. Issues:#1.  Blacks that are clearly black on my screen print brown.  Browns print green sometimes. #2.  I understand I'll never get the colours EXACTLY the same, but I'd like to figure out how to get them as close as possible to what I see on my screen, but there's quite a significant difference in some cases.  One of the files you'll see - the game controller is 100% black in the original PNG, I haven't added a gradient or any other effect.  The black "caution" prints black wonderfully but the controller goes brown.  #3.  What profile should I be designing in?  I've changed some of my files to Adobe RGB as per other forums and it made it worse.  I've even chose "No colour management on this file". 

I just updated to the latest photoshop version (26.6). Prior to the update I had about 20 paper profiles that would appear in the Printer Profile list of the Print dialog. After the update the list shows a huge number of profiles, I'd estimate about 100. The ones I normally use are there but so are dozens that I have never used.  I'm on Windows 11 Pro, and my C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color does not have this huge number—just the ones I have been using for years.   I've attached a jpg that shows about 60% of the entire list that now appears. Can anyone suggest a way to get rid of the profiles I don't want?

I have two problems with my Epson P900. I have a Mac and am using 15.4.1 (Sequoia)1) In Lightroom I can only print 8.5 x 11 and smaller prints. When I try to print to 17 x 22 it prints as if the image was on a much smaller size paper but proportional.While this was a problem until recently I had a work-around by using Epson Print Layout for larger images. However now I have a new problem after upgrading to 15.4.12) Epson Print Layout no longer recognizes the printer.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer drivers and the same with the Epson Print Layout. The print never loads and I get the attached error notice.
