Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.4.0 2Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit When I go to Image → Canvas Size, the default is always pixels. I want it to be inches. Note: I have checked in preferences, units and measures, and the default is inches. Also when I go to image → Image size, the default is in fact inches, which is what I expect.  Is the default unit for image → canvas size now different? Is there a different place to set it?  thanks

Since a short period I have the an ‘unwanted’ effect in Photoshop.When an image is on screen,  I regularly want to adjust the image borders (I mean the borders of the screen that holds the image) to reduce that screen with the image. During this action, the image itself also gets temporarily smaller and afterwards retakes its original size on screen. I’m losing time with this effect and it is also disturbing.I would like to know how this effect can be switched off.Adobe Virtual Assistant suggests I should deselect the Resize Windows To Fit option, or that I should deselect the Zoom Resizes Windows option, but this doesn’t work.So which Photoshop option would control this effect?

This bug has been reported before, but persists, making editing arduous. It only became a problem recently, so I feel it is a version issue, say after 25 or so. I have not downgraded as of yet, but may have no choice. After a few touch ups (nothing major, like skin blemish), the tool will freeze and then memory use will ramp up until entirely maxed out (64 GB). I see it in the Task Manager graph. After about two minutes (if a person was willing to wait), a dialog box pops up saying there is no more memory to complete task. When closed, I can save the image and proceed. This has happened each and every time I edit an image and I cannot go more than 5 uses before this happens.  I contacted support over the phone and was told to increase memory usage under performance. I does not help and resetting preferences also does not help. This issue needs to be fixed as I feel the remove tool is one of the core tools users now rely on. If it would be helpful to d

When I click on an imported layer to adjust, when I save the change it is saving over the original file, not just overwriting the layer. How do I stop this happening. I have tried Edit contents and replace contents to try and solve this issue. Can someone help with a fix please?Thanks

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

HelloCan anyone help? Since the update at the end of May 2023, the brush shortcut for size and hardness control no longer works (ctrl + Alt + Right Mouse + drag left/right).I have gone into any tool, preferences to check, tried other keyboard shortcuts and watched tutorials. I even uninstalled and reinstalled PS.I suspect it's a bug, has anyone had the same problem or solved it already? Thanks

With the recent Camera RAW 18.4.1 update, a generative expand feature has been added to the geometry panel. Now, when I hit enter after setting alignment it starts trying to generative fill the image instead of saving my settings and exiting Camera RAW. Is there a way to disable the generative fill part of the panel or bypass it? It’s a minute detail, but I’m processing a lot of photos and generative fill now prioritizing the panel (when I almost never use it) and having to mouse back over to “ok” when I’m flying through on shortcuts it’s throwing me off.

The new Discover panel is a total nuisance. It pops up in front of my work all the time. If I close it, it just jumps back up. How do I disable it?

PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE… FIX this error!I get this error a lot with the Liquify and Camera Raw Filters.  I also upgraded to your latest PS version and it’s slow and filters don’t work correctly and it generally sucks, thus I downgraded to PS 27.6!I pay $70 a month for the “privilege” of using Adobe products and this particular error has been prevalent for the last year.  Please FIX THIS ERROR before creating new crap!NolanWin 10 box, 64GB ram, 40-50 TB Drives with serious thoughts of moving to Linux.Professional Photographer full time since 1984.

Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.8.0 20260610.r.13 4081857  x64 (final, Release)When using generative AI and a image is returned in the new layer i’ll notice absolutely nothing was changed.  Not that i didn’t like it, but nothing was changed.  if i change the model then something is returned with some changes based off my prompt.  Here is the thing though.  My credits get subtracted even when no changes were done.  I mean pixel for pixel no difference.  I report all of them.  I also notice a lot more orange notifications popping up saying they can’t do this or that becuase of policy which is a complete false positive as if i run it again it works just fine.  But even when it can’t do anything or tells me it was in violation even though it wasn’t, i get credits taken out.  When doing images it only happens maybe 5-7 times a month.  But when working on videos and the same thing happens thats a lot of credits that get taken back.  even with Claude or Codex or ChatGPT they issue credits refunds

I’ve reported this already in “Bug Reports” and my post was deleted with no resolution and no communication. I’ve reposted there and now looking for help here!When “opening as layers in photoshop” the images are very slow to load in PS 27.8 vs. 27.7. This problem is confirmed by several other users I know. What used to take 11 seconds now takes 17 seconds. There’s a new behavior where each of the layers “flashes” up on screen for a split second before the loading actually starts and it takes significantly longer than it used. Downgrading to 27.7 restores correct (fast) functionality. Why would my bug report get deleted and if there’s a bug then, how are we supposed to report it so that Adobe will address it? Thanks

After the latest update, Photoshop (27.1 /win 11) started showing a very unpleasant bug.As soon as I open a PSD file, without doing anything (just by selecting a few layers), the fill content of several "fill layers" changes automatically.This happens with simple "Shape layers", rectangles.See my history state without doing anything elese but selecting a few layers in the freshly opened PSD:   For example, a layer that originally had a black fill suddenly has a gradient applied. In another layer with a gradient, the orientation gets flipped by 180 degrees.It may seem random, but I suspect the "shape layer fill" is automatically set according to the first selected layer in a row! In any case, it completely ruins the opened document. I can re‑set the layers, but the same thing happens again the next time I open it.   It’s extremely frustrating — basically, it makes the program unusable! I might try downgrading to a lower version to see if that helps. Please fix this serious issue ASAP.

I am converting a large number of files (.ai and .psd) to .png. Within Photoshop, I can do this efficiently using automation tools. The only problem is that when I convert a tranche of files, I am noticing that the height and width of the first image in the batch is being imposed on the other images in that batch. Example: If the first image is 5 x 1 in, those dimensions are applied to every other image in that batch after conversion. Desired behavior is that each image should keep its original dimension. I understand how to do this when converting images one-by-one, but how can I prevent this when working in batches? Thank you. 

Looking for some help with a custom script, hopefully someone has some insight for me. My end goal is to have a single PSD file with a set of images, each placed on their own artboard, with all artboards being a consistent size (in pixels).   I can't use a batch process or anything traditional because I need the user to be able to adjust the placement of each photo within the artboard before exporting the resized images.   Breaking it down a bit, I'm looking for the script to do the following actions: Have the user input a desired width and height for the artboards to be set to. These values will be the same across all the artboards (only need to prompt once), but it's important that the user is prompted for the dimensions since they will change. Have the user select a set of images from their computer to import (these will be a mix of sizes and aspect ratios, but always flat images.) Import all the images into their own individual artboards within a single PSD, with all

I know how to export to each psd file using the photoshop variables.But I want to know how to replicate artboards with the data in my csv file.

Device-mode Select Subject appears to leak retained memory by approximately 2–3 GB per image, even on small images around 1500–2000 px on the long side. Photoshop memory is limited to ~35 GB on a 64 GB Windows system, but once the retained memory reaches the Photoshop ceiling, the entire machine becomes nearly unusable despite apparent free RAM remaining.Cloud mode behaves differently: memory rises during Select Subject, then partially drops, and accumulates much more slowly. This strongly suggests the issue is specific to the local Device processing path rather than the images or action.Edit > Purge > All does not release the memory.Closing documents does not release the memory.Only quitting Photoshop clears it.After several images, Device mode begins falsely reporting that no subject/object can be found.This makes batch editing workflows a joke, because after 5 or 6 images using on device, the Select Subject starts reporting it can’t find subjects, even though they are there.

The zoom using the option + scroll wheel in Photoshop on MacOS is too fast. It zooms in and out way too much with a slight scroll. I use the latest Photoshop version and I have this issue on both Magic Mouse and Magic MX 4. I tried googling the problem but still couldn't figure it out. Is there any newest working solutions to this problem?
