Photoshop

Hello,Since the latest update to Photoshop 2020 (21.1.1), any photo/file I save as a PSD does not show the photo in the icon.  It only shows a solid blake rectangle.  This happens in any app.  If I open Finder the thumnail is black, if I open in ACDSee it shows as black etc.  However, when I open it in photoshop the file loads and is displayed properly.  I'm using an iMac 27 inch with macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave), a TB HDD with 600GB free.  I have 32GB Ram and my graphic card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 MB.  Any App that shows thumnails will show the PSD file icon as black.  All PSD files that I save before the update correctly show the photo in the icon.  I've not changed any color settings in Photoshop.  They are the same as before the update.  I'm using ProPhoto as my color space at 16 bit and that's the way I save the PSD file. Any ideas and work arounds on correcting this will be greatly appreciated.  Oh, the same thing

I have Photoshop 2024 installed, and I can't uninstall the 2023 version. It's taking up over 9gb of disk space. Note: the old version is NOT listed in Adobe CC, it only shows up in Windows "Installed Apps" (see pic). When I choose uninstall, it will open Adobe CC, where it appears as if it's uninstalling, but the process goes by in a flash and then nothing actually gets done.  I already tried uninstalling the 2024 version and then tried uninstalling 2023. No dice. Reinstalling the 2024 version also didn't fix it. Help?  Edit: SOLVED. I finally fixed it -- I found a way to reinstall the 2023 version (in CC, next to Photoshop 2024, click on the three dots and look for "other versions". Find the specific version that needs to be reinstalled.). Then I was able to completely uninstall it after. I have been trying for such a long time and I can't believe I finally thought of the solution minutes after posting this question, LOL.  I'm leaving this up in

In Photoshop 2025, the shortcuts Ctrl+Delete or Alt+Delete can be used to fill a text layer with color. However, when multiple text layers are selected, these shortcuts cannot be utilized for color filling. Is this a bug?

Hi,I have a question. Not special for Adobe, but because I cannot find an answer anywhere, I hope one of you can help me out.My problem is that the last couple of months the background of my thumbnails in Windows 10 Explorer are black. I have a lot of brushes and other (semi_black files and now I cannot see the picture on the thumbnail. When I click on it to show it bigger on the right side of the screen, the bigger view is also black.Does anyone knows how I can turn thiese backgrounds back to white again????

Just yesterday, "Open Recent" worked fine. It brings up a bank of files from over a month ago. Also, I had posted this bug on April 29, 2025, and it wasn't posted.

I'm using the Brush tool and working fine, but suddenly, the selected color from the swatches appears as a "gray" in the tool side panel (I don't know what to call the two switchable little color boxes). Should I restart? Also, in my swatch library, I arrange and organize colors, and the order changes. And it's not because I resized the library; the grouped colors are separated far apart from each other. See screenshot: PSD-swatch color selection-wrong-1.png

I am having troble opening any raw file in photoshop.I am still able to open jpg and png files. When the program freezes it does not crash but just becomes unresponsive and requires me to end task using task manager even after letting it load for over an hour.

Hi I was trying to edit some photos this morning and when I tried to use the neutral filters the screen loaded but I was unable to use any of the settings like for example skin smoothing. I restarted / reloaded the app, restarted my PC and ran the repair option, but nothing worked. It was working fine on Tuesday. There is no error message it just doesn't work! I can use the other tools with no problems! I would appreciate any advice or help on how to resolve this issue. Many thanks Dave

Hi,I'm wondering if it is possible to use generative AI if I have a reference image to go off.Say I have a project which is an image of an empty room and I have another photo of furniture I'd like in my image, is there a way for AI to replicate or do similar?

Downloaded Photoshop 2024 yesterday and can't get rid of the black home screen. I will to Settings>general and then unclicked "Auto show the Home Screen" . Nothing has worked. I have downloaded Photoshop a couple of times and still can't get rid of the screen.  I read where my workspace might be the issue and am now using the Essentials workspace. I got rid of all my preferences and started over clean. Still can't get rid of the stupid home screen. Help! I hate it! Thanks  Woodie

Hello. I extracted these images from a video game, but they have a green tint and magenta shadows that they shouldn't have. It's not an extraction issue, because I've extracted using multiple methods with the same result. So, I decided to try manually fixing them with color channels.Here's what they look like now:When they should look more like this:I've noticed that their green channel just looks like a grayscale version of the image, with darker and lighter values than the red and blue channels. I believe the green channel is too strong and needs to be reduced somehow.Any advice on how to weaken the green/magenta channel, or other ideas to remove the tint? I've attached the psd for reference.

HI EVERYONE,Full Disclosure; I posted this [by private message to davescm] in ADOBE and Dave in that community asked me to post to the 'EXPERTS' OVER HERE WITH A PIC! PLEASE HELP! I read your post on the faded marriage certificate and hope you can help. I have an 19th C. Asian scroll that is a family Heirloom and I have had it in a box for over 40 yrs and my mother-in-law had it in the same box for over 50 yrs. before she legally immigrated from Taiwan when it was still ROC and they were being oppressed by the China Dynasty at the time.  So, she brought her son, that many years later became my husband, and came to America.    The scroll has been in the box almost this entire time and before. I never really asked too many personal questions, since she was hard to understand...but she gave it to me on my 1st birthday after marrying Jim.  It's had the label I guess as soon as they were invented, and the box too....I don't know. I had on the wall for a short time,

I have PS (normal, v26.6) open. Now I also wish to open PS Beta v26.7. But I cannot open it. If I close normal PS and then open Beta, I can. Similarly, if my PS Beta is open, I cannot open normal PS. I can open only one PS at a time from LRC also. Deepending on what I set in preferences. Is this the normal behaviour of PS & PS Beta? How do I enable both to run simultaneously?This is the Sytem Info from my normal PS Help-> System Info...Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.6.0 20250414.r.14 f1f3569 x64Number of Launches: 99Operating System: Windows 11 64-bitVersion: 11 or greater 10.0.22621.4317System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:14, Stepping:10, AVX2, HyperThreadingPhysical processor count: 6Logical processor count: 12Processor speed: 3192 MHzBuilt-in memory: 16297 MBFree memory: 10436 MBMemory available to Photoshop: 12014 MBMemory used by Photoshop: 70 %Crash Handler: AdobeDCX Version: 8.20.0SAM SDK Version: 12.1.1ACP.local Status:- SDK Version: 5.3.0- Core Sync Status: Reac

Hi to everyone,  I would like to know and assure if you have already experienced any problems throughout the whole Creative Suite, but in concrete with Photoshop, running the apps under the MAC OS ecosystem of Sequoia. Do you know if it runs better under Sonoma rather than the Sequoia ops? Many thanks

Hey Everyone - Serious question. Why are gifs so difficult to deal with in 2025?My current workflow - to which i am unable to find an easier solution - is as follows for this given project: 1. Create 3D animation in Cinema 4D. Export as PNG sequence.2. Import the PNG sequence into After Effects, duplicate sequence and time reverse to create perfect loop.3. Export as .MOV (rgb+alpha).4. Import MOV into Photoshop.5. Export to Legacy GIF.  It seems like a huge amount of effort to have a GIF with a transparent BG. But even now, as I do this, I am getting silly white artifacting around the element. When i remove the matte, the artifacting is gone, but the animation looks pixeled and not super smooth. The whole point of these animations are that they can go on a website and they are overlayed over 2 different colored blocks. I feel like in 2025 there has to be an easier solution to creating a transparent BG gif that isn't 15MB that looks smooth and has no edge artifa

My eyesight is getting worse so I was wondering if there was a way to make the font inside "Actions" larger? I am using windows 11 and the most up to date version of PS CC. Thank you

Just as it says. I draw a path using the pen tool, right-click to stroke it. Rather than bringing up the "how do you want this stroked" box, it immediately switches to the eyedropper tool and won't let me leave the eyedropper tool, even after selecting a color or clicking on other tool bars. In effect, it freezes the application.Other path options, such as fill path, don't trigger this. Just the stroke path option.

I have multiple copies of an artboard to create variations of an idea. There is a gradient fill layer acting as a background for the artboards. Each artboard is supposed to have full gradient range but its acting as if the gradient is shared across all the artboards, thus each artboard getting a part of the gradient. Also moving the artboards is further screwing up the gradient where it seems to be re-sharing the gradient based on the new locations of the artboards. I am attaching the psd file as well as a video of how moving the artboards is behaving.

Pinch to Zoom in Photoshop never recognises pinch to zoom. It always works on other apps like Paint.I have already tried all the troubleshooting steps (like toggling "Enable Gestures" or resetting preferences) that I could find via LLM's Adobe Photoshop 26.5.0Acer Nitro ANV 15-5113th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13420H 2.10 GHzSystem type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processorWindows 11 Version 24H2

Does anyone run both PS and LR Classic?  I'm running both on a Dell laptop with only 4gb vram, so I'm looking to upgrade to something that has either 8gb or 16gb vram.  I also play videos at the same time.  Would like to know if someone out there does something similar and the setup he/she has and of course what the performance is like...

I was using Photoshop fine until a few hours ago (on my Mac). I was just editing an image, nothing unusual from what I often do. I tried to open it a short while ago, and it made me log in again, which is weird, because I'm logged into all other Adobe applications on my computer. I logged in, then a window came up which read, "Sorry, Photoshop CC has encountered an error and needs to close. "You will not be able to use Photoshop CC at this time. Please contact Customer Support and use the reference code 213 for more information on how to resolve this issue." Then it had me click "Quit Photoshop CC", and it shut down the application. Trying to use the application just causes this process to repeat. I don't know what I've done to cause this, or what could've changed. I was using Fuse to make a character, and I was going to take that character into Photoshop and play around with it a bit. I like to illustrate, and I'm experimenting with Fuse as an inspiration tool. I s

Printing from Photoshop had been going fine but now when the print setup window comes up the "canvas" (the white rectangle on the diagonal lined background) is itself off center. And sure enough my prints are, too. What can I do to fix this?In the screenshot is my attempt to print a 7.5" x 10" image on a 8.5" x 11" paper.

Ciao, in camera Raw (ultima versione e anche photoshop ultima versione al 06.05.2025) le sfumature (sia circolare che lineare) non funzionano più. Cosa possso fare? Grazie

The Select Details tutorial shows part of the hand of the first woman as if it's one of the second one's hand. Not sure if there's a way to modify what gets detected automatically, but it doesn't seem like a good way to advertise a new resource.
