Photoshop

I make one small change at a time, and preview my overall workspace, but Photoshop keeps working anchors of the current element. How to get rid of those? Googling for a solution, I was told to enable View->Preview. As often is the case, Google leads me astray. Any ideas? -Ron

Hello there,   we are currently tackling an issue with Photoshop. When it is launched, it takes 4 to 5 minutes to start, but when it starts it works (almost) perfectly - only the opening of files via other Adobe Apps (such as InDesign) or File Explorer remains very slow.   We encountered the very same issue with Paint, if this information can help.  The graphic card we are currently using is a NVIDIA T400 4GB and the version of Photoshop is the 25.4.0.  If you need any other information, please let us know, we will gladly help you understand the issue right away. 

When i try to use the generative AI feature I keep getting the message  "Your system Administrator isn't allowing access to this feature right now" I purchased the software so not sure what I need to do in order to use all of the features.     

I have not been able to update photoshop for quite a while.  The Creative Cloud desktop app tells me it needs to update, so I have tried several times to update the program with no success.  I receive no errors.  The download simply stops at a different percent every time.  Sometimes it's stuck at 4% for over 12 hours before I cancel the process.  Sometimes it gets stuck at 2%, 10%, 27%, and 67%.  67% is the most progress I've got so far.  Each time I made sure my PC wasn't running any other unneeded programs or processes at the same time, but to no avail.  I read about suggestions to manually update Photoshop without using Creative Cloud but I do not know how to do that or where to find the recent updates to download.  What should I do about this?

Hi everyone, I have the latest version of adobe CC suite and i am having this issue when i save to photoshop PDF i can´t seem to keep the vector properties of the text layers.

Dear PS Community, I did a quick search and did not find any answers on how to stop groups/folders in the layers panel from automatically expanding when I select a layer in that group. This matters to me, because after I am finished grouping my layers for oversight and visibility, I want my layers panel to be as collapsed and clean as possible. However, as soon as I select a layer (with the move tool), the group it is in automatically expands, thus cluttering my layers panel, forcing me to manually close/collapse the group every time. Do you know any solutions or workarounds for this?Or is this a feature we should put up for suggestion? Thank you so much 🙂 OS: MacOS Monterey 12.0.1Version: Photoshop 23.1.0.

I updated Photoshop to version 26.6.1 a few days ago. After that update, some tools are missing from the toolbar and even when I add them via keyboard shortcuts, they are not added.

I have a circle in a scanned drawing that I am trying to select with the Ellipitical Marquee Tool. 1) When I click and drag to make the marquee (holding Shift to make it a true circle), the marquee only increases in size if I drag on the diagnols. Horizontal or vertical does not work. Is this the way the tool is supposed to work? 2) Trying to select the drawn circle with the circular marquee tool, I click on the upper left of the circle and drag to the lower right across the diagnol diameter of the circle but the marquee eillipse does not follow the cursor. It doesn't start at the exact upper left nor follow the cursor down. It lags behind. So when I drag from upper left to lower right of the circle, I end up with a circular marquee much smaller than the circle. I cannot get a marquee the exact size of the circle I wish to select. Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting that needs to be changed? BTW, if I try this with the rectangular marquee tool—also dragging

I build a PC and Im running creative suite... all programs tend to run just fine, except when working with LR and photoshop. But mostly Photoshop. Tends to shut off computer randomly without warning, like a short circuit... Just restarts.

I've recently upgraded to Photoshop CC 2019, and a task that I used to do regularly with ease now seems to be impossible. I am trying to distort the corners of a smart object -- not a skew, not a slant, but independently moving the corners of the smart object to distort the image.How do I do this now? I really can't figure it out. Thanks in advance!

Bonjour à la communauté !Après n'avoir JAMIS PU résoudre le fait que le lasso polygonal (en cas d'erreur) refuse le retour en arrière une fois sur 20, voici que l'outil de sélection d'objet sélectionne ce qu'il veut et qui bien sûr ne correspond pas à ce que je désire.Un coup cela fonctionne et ensuite c'est n'importe quoi.C'est ma nième demande : j'en ai assez !Je paye mon abonnement pour m'irriter sur des outils qui refusent de fonctionner.Oui, oui j'ai désinstallé et réinstallé Photshop CC 2025 et cela n'a rien changé !Je passe mon temps à réinitialiser les outils récalcitrants et cela ne fait RIEN !Alors vais- je devoir quitter Adobe, parfois j'y pense car vraiment je me demande à quoi servent les mises à jour ?Merci pour vots idée pour me sortir de là !Je pense avoir bien relaté les soucis que je rencontre pour ne pas recevoir des mails me demandant quel est mon problème.Georges

Hi everyone,I'm wondering if Adobe has recently changed the behavior of Free Transform in Photoshop back to the older version. I noticed that when transforming objects, it now behaves more like it used to in the pre 2019 versions for example, scaling without holding Shift keeps the proportions again.Has anyone else noticed this? Is this an official change or something related to preferences or a recent update?

Hi, I just updated my Mac from 14.x to 15.5. Now, the dock is in the way. I resetted the Essential workspace, but to no avail. Does that mail Photoshop is no longer compatible with my MacBook Pro 16? Never mind, I just resetted the Photoshop Settings. All is good now! Any ideas? Regards, -Ron

I have the Photoshop version 26.6.1 on Windows 11. I have downloaded the latest drivers and made sure that everything is up to date. Whenever I try to start the program, nothing happens. It simply runs in the background and that is it. I tried everything, scoured the internet for answers and found nothing. I tried to uninstall it and reinstall it, run it as admin, bypass the antivirus, nothing works. Please help.

Lately when I open PSD files in Photoshop (25.6.1), they open with the layers flattened.  If I close the file (after making no edits), I am asked if I want to save the changes.  I say no and then reopen the file and magically all the layers are there again.  A bit of a nuisance.  Anyone know what's going on here?

How do I remove blend mode shortcut keyboard commands? I keep hitting the wrong key command that changes my brush setting from Normal to Dissolve or Screen, and sometimes I don't notice until later and have to go back and redo everything. When I try to remove the command in Keyboard Shortcuts, I get "Opt+Shift+D is an invalid shortcut. Menu commands must include & and/or an F-key in their shortcuts." Which I think is strange, because Opt+Shift+D is a shortcut, but for some reason it can't be changed?I appreciate any help, thank you.

When I open any file type in photoshop from my mac desktop, I have to click outside the image twice before any of my keyboard shortcuts work, actions, or anything else is recognized by PS. A minor inconvenience, but I sure would like it to stop and go back to simply opening an image, hit the "F" key to enlarge the file, run actions and begin editing. When I am editing rush images, it gets increasingly frustrating when my keycommands and shortcuts aren't working the second I open an image because I didn't click the image twice. Plus I get that annoying beep sound, like I have another program running instead of PS and the command or keyboard shortcut isn't recognized by some invisible program other than PS.This started happening after I upgraded to v26.5, but has remained after I went back to v26.4.1 and v26.3.Anyone else ever have this issue? 

This evening, Photoshop suddenly quit processing photos (.NEF's - Nikon RAW) The photos numbered 581-935 just opened in Photoshop without actually processing and saving the .jpg's  - what the heck!?  I have used Bridge/Photoshot daily for years and this have never hapened.  I uninstalled and reinstalled both Photoshop and Bridge....after the reinstall, the software is still broken! I am running Windows 11, Intel Core Ultra 7, 128GB RAM, 5 Internal Drives, Intel grapics A770 with 16GB RAM, etc,,, Any advice would be appreciated Thank  you Ray
