In Photoshop 2026 (27.11.0), when a selection is transformed, sometimes the selection becomes inactive and the marching ants disappear after the transformation is accepted. It becomes necessary to go to Select>Reselect to recover the transformed selection

Index Color mode becomes an Adjustment Layer.Open for Voting

You can edit your color table in the properties panel the same as you would with any other Adjustment Layer. Having a non destructive way edit index colors would be amazing for production.

In Photoshop CC 2025, the text dialog box that appeared just below inserted text is not showing. Why

Hello.  My first post on Adobe forums. I am using PhotoShop CC 2025 V 26.1 on a PC running W1indows 11. When placing text on an image, I am accustomed to seeing a small text dialog box just under my inserted text with options for size, color, font selection, etc.  It no longer appears. It was so handy not having to go to the options bar at the top of the screen to modify text options. I am baffled.  I tried "Edit>Toolbar>Restore Defaults" and "Window>Workspace>Essectials" with no luck. Suggestions requested. Thanks in advance

P: Color Distortion When Opening Images saved from Facebook in Photoshop 26.5Released

After updating to the latest version of Photoshop, we encountered an issue where images saved from Facebook from the previous year display color distortions when opened in the program. However, images saved recently from Facebook open without any issues and display correctly.

P: Find Layers, Name field becomes out of focus when entering textReleased

For those of you who use the search layers function in photoshop often, have you been having an issue with it over the last few months? Every time I start to type something now, it loses focus as if I’ve clicked out of the text box, but I haven’t. I can get 1 letter, maybe 2, before the focus is no longer in the text box. Is this happening to other people or am I doing something wrong.   Using my Macbook pro and photoshop v 25.12.4

Photoshop hangs when selecting text in Microsoft Word

Hi. This is happening too often to be a coincidence and I’m not sure if this is a Photoshop issue or a Microsoft Word issue. But what seems to happen from time to time, only on one of the computers I use for work, is that when I open a Word document off a network drive and make a text selection and copy, Photoshop and (and not any other Adobe app) and Word becomes unresponsive. None of the programs ever crash, they just seem to hang endlessly. Only when I force-close Word does Photoshop become responsive again.I’m not sure what can consistently cause it, but when it does happen, it makes it very difficult to work with because I’m copying and pasting often and it actively stops me from doing that. This has happened on and off for months.Here is some basic system info:Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.11.0 20260929.r.26 8c16e56 x64 (final, Release)Number of Launches: 163Operating System: Windows 11 64-bitVersion: 11 or greater 10.0.26100.9711System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:5, S

Photoshop AutoRecover not working with a non-C scratch disk

On Windows 26H2, OS build 26340.9843, with Photoshop 27.8.0.13 and E: as the only scratch disk, AutoRecover was enabled but no recovery snapshots were generated. Illustrator recovery worked on the same computer.Process Monitor captured Photoshop attempting to access: E:\PSAutoRecover\E: Result: NAME INVALID (0xC0000033)The current user's Documents known-folder path was E:\Document. Changing only the Documents entry point changed Photoshop's attempted recovery subdirectory. This suggests that this recovery code path may derive a directory component from the Documents parent's name, producing E: when that parent is the drive root. This is a hypothesis supported by the local path trace and intervention, rather than a source-code finding.Local intervention:- Created E:\PSFolderCompat\Documents as a junction targeting the existing E:\Document.- Updated the Personal values in the current user's User Shell Folders and Shell Folders registry keys to that alias, preserving their original

Da un pò di tempo ho il problema di mancata corrispondenza colore tra camera raw e photoshop

Quando apro un’immagine da Camera Raw in Photoshop i colori sono completamente diversi, più saturi, quindi non riesco ad avere un’immagine equilibrata.

Why do the demos use generative AI credits

So, Adobe announce some new feature in Photoshop. ‘Give it a try’. OK, work through the demo, only to find that it has used a fifth of my monthly credit allowance. Does this seem like an absolute scam to anyone else?

Marquee selection tool is behaving like move tool after I transform it

Every time I attempt to use the Marquee selection tool and attempt to resize it with the transform tool it silently becomes a move tool and enlarges/shrinks or moves the pixels in the selection. This even happens on locked layers. I have tried with spring loaded tools enabled and disabled and i have reset the tool. I have tried with my Wacom pen and my mouse and I have also tried with 2 different keyboards so I do not think it is my attachments.

Screen flashing black when scrolling image on Photoshop

NVidia RTX 5070 connected to a Samsung Odyssey G80SD display (4K@240hz / HDR)Intel i7-14700KPhotoshop 27.10.0 When I open Photoshop the display flickers for a moment to black. The same occurs when scrolling around any image in Photoshop. If Photoshop is full screen or windowed the whole display flashes on and off.This only began recently (past ~3 months) and only occurs on the Samsung Odyssey display. A small 1080p display @ 60hz non-HDR plugged into the same GPU does not have an issue.Turning off GPU processing stops the issue, but that doesn’t solve the problem as I need some GPU based features. Anyone know of any solutions?

P: Photoshop 27.10: "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom Classic & Lightroom Desktop does not load image with DenoiseInvestigating

Since today’s Photoshop 27.10 update, the “Edit in Photoshop” command in Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 is not working anymore for me. Photoshop opens automatically as before (if it’s not open yet) but no image is being loaded. Downgrading Photoshop to 27.9.1 resolves the issue and the “Edit in Photoshop” functionality is back to normal. I also tried to change the external editing file format from TIFF to PSD or PSB but this didn’t make any difference. Anyone else facing the same issue? I’m running macOS Tahoe 26.6.2. Closing and re-opening LRC and PS didn’t solve the problem, rebooting the machine also didn’t show any effect. P.S.: I posted this in the Photoshop forum as well

Photoshop: Curves Adjustment on Smart Object Frozen (27.11.0)Open for Voting

Hi,Sometimes, but quite often, when using a Curves adjustment as a smart adjustment on a Smart Object, after I create the first point and start dragging, the curve freezes and can’t be moved any further. The only workaround is to select the point and move it with the keyboard arrows.Sometimes, any further action on the selected Smart Object layer produces the following error:“Could not update smart object files because of a program error (2a135c.901).”Sometimes the error persists after a restart, sometimes not.Please fix!This bug is in addition to the flickering of the image while adjusting (when the Curves do work).

Photoshop crashes on PC wakeOpen for Voting

Photoshop crashes on resume from sleep when network connectivity is enabledSummaryPhotoshop consistently/regularly crashes when Windows 11 resumes from sleep, but only when network connectivity is enabled.The crash occurs even before logging back into Windows in some cases. Photoshop is otherwise stable during normal use and does not crash during ordinary network activity.I have traced a crash dump with WinDbg. The crash is a C++ exception originating in Photoshop's bundled msvcp140.dll, and the call stack shows Photoshop interacting with the Windows Network List Manager (netprofm) through COM/RPC during a network connectivity-change notification.This strongly suggests a Photoshop bug in handling Windows network interface/connectivity notifications during or immediately after resume.ReproductionStart Windows 11 normally with Photoshop running. Put the PC to sleep. Wake the PC. Photoshop crashes during/after the network interfaces transition back to their connected state.The behaviour i

Brush strokes bend toward guides when Snap is on

Problem: When I draw a brush stroke across a guide, the stroke bends toward the guide and leaves a squiggle. This happens in a file with guides and makes precise line work impossible unless Snap is turned off. Expected: Brush strokes are not pulled toward guides, or there is a clear indicator that Snap is affecting the stroke. Setup: Photoshop 27.11.0, Windows 11, XP-Pen Artist Pro 22 (Gen 2), driver 4.0.21.

P: (MacOS26) Photoshop v27.5 & later extremely high GPU usage from the WindowServer processInvestigating

I have several M1 Macs—from Mac mini to iMac—and they all have the same issue. Whenever I open Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign, even if I don’t do anything, WindowServer will jump to around 80–90% GPU usage. Once I start working with files, even just opening a single image, the whole system becomes choppy and starts dropping frames, with GPU usage almost maxed out.But : if I switch the app to full-screen with menu bar mode (press F), the window shadows disappear, GPU usage drops back to normal, and everything runs smoothly—even with large files open. This makes it pretty clear the issue is related to how window shadows are being handled in macOS 26 and how it interacts with Adobe apps.It’s been months since Adobe 26 came out, and I’ve been waiting for updates to fix this, but even the latest versions still haven’t solved it. At this point, I’m wondering if it’s even fixable.M1 Macs are not that old—most Mac minis and iMacs from around 2021–2022 are still M1, so they’re definitely n

Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+D stop responding while menu commands still work (27.11, Windows 11)

Ctrl+Z (Undo) and Ctrl+D (Deselect) stop working from the keyboard. Edit > Undo still works. Keys are also dropped intermittently. I have run into unreliable behavior like this in Photoshop for about two years with no answer, and it is becoming more than infuriating. I don't know the cause yet. Please tell me what logs or diagnostics you need. Setup: Photoshop 27.11.0, Windows 11, XP-Pen Artist Pro 22 (Gen 2), driver 4.0.21.

Photoshop 27.11 on Windows: brush preview taper, pen pressure, shortcuts, guide snapping, and no way to reach support

I have been an Adobe customer since 2000 and had a Creative Cloud subscription for years. I now use Photoshop through my school license. For two years I have restarted my computer several times a day and reinstalled Photoshop several times a month to get basic brush and pen behavior working. It is becoming more than infuriating. Today I lost about 13 hours to these problems: 1. Brush preview thumbnails lose their taper until Photoshop or the computer is restarted. It happens daily, sometimes several times a day.2. Pen pressure has been unreliable since 27.4. The only fix is Use WinTab in 27.11, and that setting is not documented anywhere.3. Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+D stop responding while Edit > Undo still works. Keys also drop intermittently.4. Brush strokes bend toward guides when I draw across them.5. Having the Brushes and Brush Settings panels open together freezes Photoshop on brush size changes. Adobe has acknowledged this since 27.4.6. Adobe has no support email, the chat tells me to

Pen pressure broken since 27.4, and the 27.11 "Use WinTab" setting is not documented

Since version 27.4, pen pressure has been unreliable on my pen display. Version 27.11 added Edit > Preferences > Tools > Use WinTab, which is the setting that restores pressure. It is not in the release notes or help pages, and the pressure warning icon doesn't point to it. I found it only through other users' forum posts after many hours of troubleshooting. I have been dealing with pen and brush problems in Photoshop for about two years and it is becoming more than infuriating. Please document this setting, add a tooltip on the warning icon, and fix the underlying Windows Ink regression. Setup: Photoshop 27.11.0, Windows 11, XP-Pen Artist Pro 22 (Gen 2), driver 4.0.21.

In Photoshop 27.11.0 I cannot move a marquis selection box anymore. This is huge, MUST FIX!!!

I select the box marquis selection tool and drag and drop to select an area. I used to be able to then drag and move that selection box to fine tune its location. I can no longer do that since the 27.11.0 update.
