Photoshop

Is it possible theoretically?   I need an emboss adjustment layer  working on the fly  while I edit grayscale  layer composition . A photogrammetry produced height . For pre-view /visualize  purpose.    The filter shader  itself is simple like 2x2 .       But  does Adobe have an SDK or something to write that sort of modifications/plugins ?  Something ready pre-made   maybe to change just the GPU shader part and re-compile?   Any open source attempts ? 

Hi When I open my photoshop, after a few seconds a Black rectangule appear in the middle of the screen with a white trim around it. I can't offclick it, gives me windows warning beeps like I can't use photoshop underneath the rectangle. I don't know what this rectangle is about, there's nothing on the it, its completely black, I can see my entire photoshop underneath, the project (if I happen to open one before the rectangle appears) and everything else, but I can't clik on anything BUT the black box :S Any ideas here?I've worked with for years, and it now started to do this, I got projects that I can't continue.... I'm attaching a screenshot of it (it appears empty below the rectangle due  proprietary purposes, but the files thumbnails were present underneath it)

Let's say I have my main banner layout: (photos used are only for reference, not actual designs)and I want to resize it to different other sizes, like these ones for example:   Is there a way to automate the layouts while still having the elements proportional to their images sizes? Can it only be done via scripting or are there other tools in photoshop that can be used?

Hi,I have an existing custom guide layout and there is no way to save the layout simply by pressing a save option in the submenus shown in the attachment.It appears you have to go to the sub-menus first before creating the guide layout in the first place, and then painstakingly enetre in the measurement numerical value of each guide.This guide in the attachment was created by dragging from the ruler edges, like you normally do. And I just want to now save it in one click, like anything else.Reagrds Wayne

When i try to use "Point Color" in Photoshop, after i made some changes, i press "OK" to validate my options and nothing happens.I get stuck in that menu and have to use windows task manager to close Photoshop.Does anyone knows a solutions or it's someting to report to Adobe?Image atached for reference.Thanks

Open PS 2025 and dialog pops up, "Shift your perspective and hone in on edits by rotating the canvas."The text should read, "Shift your perspective and home in on edits by rotating the canvas."This is a common error. "Hone" means to sharpen, as a blade on one's wit. "Home in on" means to navigate, as "homing" pigeons used to do or missiles "homing in on" their targets. 

I probably worded that title really badly but I'll try to describe.   A few weeks back I was given a template file for doing some advertising website takeovers for a games website. In the file were a few Artboards, including a Visual Artboard with the website mockup that showed how the design of Artboard 1 (and 2, 3, etc) would look in place on the website.   After a while I realised that as I updated, say, Artboard 1 (and perhaps after saving the PSD, I don't recall), the 'visual' Artboard (i.e. the Artboard that showed the finished design on a web page mockup) automatically updated with the design from Artboard 1. I never output Artboard 1 - never hit Save as... or Export As... but Visual Artboard was updating it automatically as I went.   "Neat," I thought. "I'll take a look at that feature when I'm not so busy."   But now I'm not so busy, and I cannot find how to achieve that magic. Was it a dream? or is this achievable? I wonder if there was a script or somethi

HiI have a client who changes frosting colors on cookies for each holiday. 2 weeks ago, I was able to select the frosting I wanted to change then change my foreground color to (red), which is the color I am trying now.  I open the paint brush and select color mode.  When I painted 2 weeks ago, I got the color selected and the frosting texture below showed through.  Now I am trying to do 4th of July colors and the red is coming out a very light pink, even though all opacities are 100%.  What changed? The hue saturation layer does not work either.  Thank youJoe

I'm experiencing an issue that I haven't been able to resolve.Photoshop on my laptop is lagging significantly, even when working with small files. Every action I take—such as zooming in and out—takes a few seconds to respond. This lag only occurs when my graphics processor (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti) is active in Photoshop.Here are my current settings in Photoshop:Photoshop version I'm currently using is: 26.7.0When I disable the graphics processor, Photoshop runs much more smoothly. However, it becomes unstable and crashes frequently, especially when working with larger files (over 3000 px in width or height) than the crashes happen all the time, and it is much, much worse.I’ve already contacted Adobe support. They attempted to fix the issue, but unfortunately, nothing changed.Here are the specifications of my laptop:Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11370H @ 3.30GHzRAM: 32 GB (31.8 GB usable)Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 TiSystem Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-ba

I understand how to turn the grid on and off.  However, recently whenever I open a file, Photoshop is showing the grid.  Since I almost never use the grid (and certainly not as my first task when working with a newly opened file), this is an annoyance.  Can anyone tell me how to change the default behavior so that the grid is hidden?  Forum posts on this seem to be mostly from many years ago.

At the beginning of this year, I recorded a tutorial on to use the Depth Map  created by the Depth Blur neural filter. When Adobe updated to Photoshop 2023, the Depth Map filter was changed and now no longer creates any kind of usuable depth map.  Not sure if Adobe is aware of this problem and/or when it will be fixed? I've attached a file showing the Depth Map results in January of this year compared to today. It shows the problem quite clearly.    

Hi all,  So I have encountered myterious issue on my recent photos. After uploading photos to pics-time / pixieset all my photos become cold. I have checked colour profiles and they all gave assigned profile sRGB so that should not be the issue. Can someone please suggest something else?thanks!

Is there a way to access recent brushes through scripting? Would love to be able to cycle through recent brushes with a hotkey, and toggle between two last used.

В фотошопе  (подписка) Не работает генеративная заливка уже третий день. Вылазит надпись "Служба не отвечает. Проверьте подключения к интернету". Но интернет работает нормально, Не помогло ни восстановление файл hosts. Ни отключение брандмауэра. Сегодня дочка позвонила у нее тоже перестала работать генеративная заливка 

Hi Everyone, I realize that Fuji shooters might use capture one more often than not but I don't.  That said, I have a question about processing Fuji Pixelshift multishot, in this case the 16 shot version.  I was able to shoot a series of these and combine them in the fuji software successfully (no defect detected).  It leaves you with a gigantic shot (1.5-1.6gb), which my client had requested. I also shot regular versions of this with the Fuji 100sii which turns out to be 580+mb's at 16bit and about half that at 8bit (does anyone have any use for 16bit?? do people use these to print ever?). My main question is in processing the multishot.  It seems WAY softer and less detailed than the regular shot.  It looks a little better with some aggressive sharpening, but the regular shot always looks better.  I'm not sure if there is something else I should be doing to process the combined multishot (which is a DNG after combining in Fuji software.)Is

Hi ihr Lieben, ich hatte mir in 2023 extra einen neuen PC gekauft, damit ich eine Weile Ruhe habe um mit Photoshop zu arbeiten. Seit kurzem bekomme ich diverse Abstürze und Fehler in Photoshop Camera RAW und Lightroom, wenn ich meine Presets durchklicke. Eine der Meldungen beispielsweise "Camera Raw erfordert eine Grafikprozessorbeschleunigung". Aber es hab auch andere. Ich habe alle Anleitungen bei Photoshop zur Problembehebung getestet nichts funktioniert. Einzig allein Lightroom scheint nicht mehr abzustürzen wenn ich den Graficprozessor deaktiviere.Ich habe auch schon bis zu 10 ältere Versionen installiert, neue Treiber getestet, nichts will helfen....Ich habe AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8x3.40GHz; 32GB DDR4 RAM 3200 MHz 2x16GB Dual CHannel ; AMD Radeon Rx 6600 8 GB

Spent hours editing some photographs to be printed. Adjusted values then retouched, etc. Then prepared the file, which was 84cm x 118,5 at 300dpi, saved it as psb cause it was a large file. Ended up being like 8 GB in size per picture. The next day, I went to open the file for exporting as TIFF, and Photoshop says "File is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." I created it with that version.. Tried Photopea, it won't load that file sizetried to load the file to Creative Cloud to see if that makes it readable or something. It said the file is not compatible. What can I do? I need to export those files, I cannot do the whole edit again, I don't have time for that... Please help.

Usually, when I open a JPEG and change it, I could overwrite the existing file with command+S as long as it stayed one layer. Now, for whatever reason, it opens up the »Save As« window. I have to then navigate to the file, and overwrite it »manually«. The weird part is, when I now want to close the JPEG-file, Photoshop asks me if I want to overwrite the changed JPEG-file? Clicking yes does the same... open up »Save as« window ... This slows the work process because before, I could just hit save and it overwrote my file.Seem very much like a bug.

Hi,I would like to know if there is still a legal and reliable way to purchase Photoshop CS6 in 2025 for personal commercial use (not student or enterprise).I have a few important questions:1. Is it still possible to activate Photoshop CS6 in 2025 using a valid, unused serial number?2. Which types of CS6 licenses (e.g., retail/FPP) are legally transferable to another person?3. If I purchase CS6 secondhand, when do I need an official transfer of license form for Adobe to recognize the ownership?4. Are enterprise licenses allowed to be resold to individuals for personal use?5. How can I confirm that a secondhand CS6 purchase is legitimate and safe to activate, without violating Adobe’s policy? I’m looking to make a legal purchase and want to avoid any activation issues.Any help or official insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 

I have the digimarc filter downloaded but when i send a lightroom image to photoshop for a digital water mark , the digimarc menu item is greyed outAdobe support says you have to convert the image to 8 bit RGB for this filter to work. Anyone solved the problem?

Using photoshop 24.7.0 on a Mac OS 12.6.8:I have done this many times before and always with great success (photoshop >> machine learning in this respect):1. load ~50 images or so, all taken from the same spot at different times with different cameras2. included in this 50 images is a reference image. I lock this layer and do auto-align.3. Normally everything comes out swimmingly (or I find some images that are totally bogus, in which case I throw them out/crop and try again) For the past 3 days I have been unable to complete this task, because all the images except for the locked layer auto-align, and the locked layer stays, well, locked. I need to be able to crop the images to the dimensions of the locked layer. Having to manually move or nudge the locked layer (or all the other layers) defeats the purpose here. I have tried auto-aligning with 10 layers, I have tried auto-aligning with 3. In each case the result is the same. The unlocked layers align to themselves, le
