Hey guys I have a wavy line sky which I'm struggling to tidy up.I've tried various blur techniques but nothing seems to work.I no longer have the raw file (so I can't reprocess).I'm happy to loose detail as its just the sky.Any advice, tutorial links, additional software suggestions would be great...Thanks in advance : )Paul

Hi, is there a good prompt for photoshop AI to create a nice background with some white soft gradient behind the subject? I have attached an example what I want and one example the best I can achieve now. Im not an expert in Photoshop so looking for easy ways how to achieve the same background as show in the example attached. Who can explain me a bit how to do? I use Photoshop, latest version on MacOS

I have a strange bug in Photoshop on MacOS. The brush tip that shows the brush size outline disappears when I move the mouse. It is not related to the CAPS LOCK function of showing or hiding it or any setting in Preferences. I have a visible brush outline when I choose a brush or change its size, but it disappears when I start moving the mouse. And it starts from nothing, because no setting was changed by me, just one day started Photoshop and it started to behave like this. 

Everytime i run camera raw filter i get the error "GPU Acceleration Required". The GPU is supported, ive tried turning off the GPU options and turning them back on. Ive gone into the files and tried deleting the settings folder and the GPU folder, there was no GPU folder in there to begin with so im not sure if thats part of the issue, and with the deleting of the settings folder nothing changed. Ive also tried going onto multiple different photos to see if it was a bug with the one however its a universal problem across the whole app. Ive tried opening .CR2 (raw) files too which always directly open only in CameraRaw filter and to which it game the same message. This feature was working fine literally 2 or 3 days ago and all of a sudden its bugging out and not letting me use it. Im on photoshop version 26.5 (the latest one) and macos sequoia (15.4.1). GPU Compatibility: Pass: Metal available Pass: Above required VRAM (5726 MB of 1500 MB required) GPU Detected: Apple M1 (APPL

Hey there,I put a new Mainboard, CPU and PSU into my PC and upgraded to Win11, unfortunately I can't use my CS6 Design and Web Premium anymore as the software thinks the Serial is in use on another PC. Is there a way to reset or deactivate the installations? I only have the options to repeat the activation or to enter another Serial, I can't deactivate them myself.

I am exporting stills from After Effects via Composition/Save Frame As/File. This allows me to render the frame in Photoshop format. If there is transparancy in the still it works correctly in Premiere Pro; however, if I open the file in Photoshop it shows as a flattened file with a black background. If I export from After Effects as Photoshop layers it open in Photoshop as a mix of transparent and black layers.

Hi! Suddenly MagicPicker plugin extension is launching as a blank panel in my Photoshop. It should look kinda like this (when I launch it from Window/Extensions):But it looks like this:It started yesterday, before that it was working with no problems. Do you have any ideas what could have changed? I tried updating, restarting, cleaning - nothing helps!

I created a panorama of several photos that are 61 megapixels each. Then I tried to edit the composite with Camera Raw (using the CR plugin from within Photoshop). The following error message appears: The image size exceeds the maximum of 536.9MP or 65000 pixels on the long side supported by Camera Raw. Ok, so I decide to crop the image a bit. Now the resolution is 27961 by 16251 pixels. According to my calculations that should equate to about 454 megapixels. Yet, Camera Raw keeps showing the same message. I have save the cropped version as a new file, restarted Photoshop, even tried in the beta version of Photoshop, but it doesn't matter. Camera Raw still thinks the image is too big, even though it isn't. Any idea what could be the issue? I guess I can cut up the image in several parts and copy the smart edits, but I would prefer not to, especially since I believe the image should fall within the required parameters. Oh, and I'm on the latest versions of both

I was playing with my grandson in Photoshop & he made a wild swipe with the wacom pen & moved the tool box. Thing is, I can't seem to move it back! There doesn't seem to be a single spare pixel at the top which I can pick-up to move it. But he managed it without even trying! 🤣 (No, I haven't saved my workspace, sadly.) The palette I use looks like this:

I am creating an ad for a magazine and they asked for it to be in CMYK. I understand that of course.  But they said it should be in the Color Profile Isocoated V52... however I do not see this in my list of options.How do I change the Color Profile to match this?Cheers in advance,Kenn.

Hello, I just updated my mac from to Sonoma to Sequoia, and when closing an unsaved document in Ps I can't hit CMD+Backspace for "Don't Save" like I used to. In other apps the (mac standard) shortcut still works, but it doesn't in Photoshop 2025. I have been doing this for ages and it's really slow/annoying to have to move the mouse instead of just using the keyboard. Is there some setting I'm missing? PS: I'm aware of the systemwide setting that allows to navigate dialog buttons using "Tab", but it doesn't quite cut it for me, as I prefer having a specific shortcut that I can quickly hit with muscle memory. Thanks for any help!

I just installed newest update of PS on my Mac. The app will not open, much less open an image. I have uninstalle nd restarted. Nothing. Suggestions please?.....

error 140

My computer crashed while I was working on a document and now all the layer combined into one multi coloured pixilated mess. Usually it pulls up a recovered version when this happens. I have auto recovery turned on but for some reason it didnt save any files this time. And I cant find a way to convert it back to normal, ive tried online converters and some recomended from Adobe. Please help me!!

I have gone to settings > general > guides/rulers and made sure the color was blue.BUT I hit some odd key combo in my document and now ALL guides are always black,but they remain blue in settings. How can I reset? Tried to reset the workspace, that didn't do it. Reset guides, removed guides, closed program, opened, rebooted, updated. Nothing is allowing me to change the colors of the guides in my document. All helps take me to settings, yet settings are correct. What can I do to switch them back?

I've had this probelm for a few days now and its really annoying. I've tried linking width and height, pressing enter, and when use transform again, its back to being unlinked. I've even made sure to use it linked, press enter, and restart photoshop (I read somewhere that this changes what the automatic setting is), but that didn;t work either. This problem came out of nowhere, please help me fix this setting.

I work for a billboard company as photogrpher, I'm try to find an easy way to remove the creative on it and replace it with white. (easy) My problem is adding back the wires and pole that may run acrossed it. Ive tried PS Beta but can't figure it out. We have to show a potential client any obstructions.

This is what happens the moment I add layers to any image. This started a couple of days ago. I didn't save the image from Facebook; my workflow is RAW -> Lightroom -> Photoshop. @CMass 

Hey! So recently I've come across a pretty much day-halting issueIve got a pretty solid computer;I9 14900k 3200 mhz 24 core128gb ramNvidia ATX A200 12gb Photoshop will open, but even the slightest task will crash itIllustrator will work fine, but even auto-tracing a smiley face black and white will crash it. Ive done the cloud cleaner; drivers are up to date, almost a fresh windows install - i'm pretty lost here. 

Hi all, first post here, having spent hours looking for the answer on line.So I use bridge, PS and camera raw to edit my photos.Back in the day of PS CC2015 and even CS6, when you edited a raw file, and then saved it as a jpg, once the saving had finished, what you had left on your screen was the saved, jpg image, NOT the original raw file that shows as being UNsaved.All this means that when you go to close the file you have to confirm - doing this once is annoying, having to do it again and again and again is doing my head in!How do I get PS to see that I've saved the file and have the saved JPG left after a save??MANY thanks if you can help.

With the update to Photoshop 26.5, Photoshop is unresponsive for a full minute when first starting, and takes nearly a minute to shut down under Windows 11--and I've got a fast system. I remember this being a problem some years ago. Is this a known issue? If yes, any idea when it will be fixed? Thanks.

Krijg de laatste dagen steeds de melding "kan lidmaatschap niet verifiëren" bij het openen van Photoshop, Indesign,...Heeft jaren perfect gewerkt, weet iemand hiervoor de oplossing?
