Photoshop

Hello! Im working on a large file at the moment in Photoshop and im having a bit of lag and slowdown. The document that im working on now is 7000x7000 pixels 300dpi and around 70 layers so it might not be a surprise that im having issues but at the same time I have a pretty powerful computer ( 32 gig ram and i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz processor and Ge-Force GTX 2060 Graphics Card).  So I dont know if my document is  simply to big/taxing or if i have a a setting wrong on my computer/photoshop or if I might be in need of a reformat on my computer..Iv'e tried variuos settings on the performance tab in photoshop to some sucess, Iv'e heard that Photoshop has actually become worse in handling large formats compared to the 2015 version? I also had one problem where Photoshop simply would not save, it was stuck at 0 Percent. Any way, any feedback would be most helpful! 

The normal behaviour in this drop down is for a checkmark to be next to the name of the CURRENTLY ACTIVE file. In the last year, the checkmark now appears next to ALL FILES WITH UNSAVED CHANGES.   Now I cannot use this window the way I had in the past because THE MEANING OF THE CHECKMARK HAS CHANGED. And the new meaning of the checkmark is not useful in my established workflow (I have been using photoshop since I was a high schooler in 1997).   Here is how I would use this feature in the past: – I have 10 files open – I am performing a series of manual actions on each file in an assembly-line fashion (check resolution on first pass, convert to grayscale on second pass, adjust levels on third pass) – I go to "Window" in the menu and choose the first file, perform the first pass action – I go to "Window" in the menu and choose the next file, perform the first pass action – Repeat until I am done; the checkmark acts as bookmark in the list so I know which file to choose next.&nb

Hello Adobe Team,I work with satellite images in RGB format, where each channel represents a different spectral band (e.g., Band 3, 2, 1). I use Photoshop's Generative Fill to fix visual distortions in the image.After editing, I need to export the result in a way that ArcMap can read it as a 4-band TIFF file — not just RGB, but with an actual 4th band added (e.g., a cleaned version of Band 4).Is there a way to do this inside Photoshop? Or export a TIFF from Photoshop that supports more than 3 bands?If not, are there recommended workflows that combine Photoshop and GIS software to achieve this?Thank you!

Hi community!First off, thank you for any responses I receive!  I appreciate it! PS:  I'm using the 26.5.0 release - monthly subscription.Projects:  I sublimate onto aluminum panels using an Epson SC-F170. Issues:#1.  Blacks that are clearly black on my screen print brown.  Browns print green sometimes. #2.  I understand I'll never get the colours EXACTLY the same, but I'd like to figure out how to get them as close as possible to what I see on my screen, but there's quite a significant difference in some cases.  One of the files you'll see - the game controller is 100% black in the original PNG, I haven't added a gradient or any other effect.  The black "caution" prints black wonderfully but the controller goes brown.  #3.  What profile should I be designing in?  I've changed some of my files to Adobe RGB as per other forums and it made it worse.  I've even chose "No colour management on this file". 

I just updated to the latest photoshop version (26.6). Prior to the update I had about 20 paper profiles that would appear in the Printer Profile list of the Print dialog. After the update the list shows a huge number of profiles, I'd estimate about 100. The ones I normally use are there but so are dozens that I have never used.  I'm on Windows 11 Pro, and my C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color does not have this huge number—just the ones I have been using for years.   I've attached a jpg that shows about 60% of the entire list that now appears. Can anyone suggest a way to get rid of the profiles I don't want?

I have two problems with my Epson P900. I have a Mac and am using 15.4.1 (Sequoia)1) In Lightroom I can only print 8.5 x 11 and smaller prints. When I try to print to 17 x 22 it prints as if the image was on a much smaller size paper but proportional.While this was a problem until recently I had a work-around by using Epson Print Layout for larger images. However now I have a new problem after upgrading to 15.4.12) Epson Print Layout no longer recognizes the printer.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer drivers and the same with the Epson Print Layout. The print never loads and I get the attached error notice. 

I'm on Photoshop v26.6.0. macos sonoma I updated to Camera Raw 17.3.0.2224 about an hour ago and all my settings, keyboard shortcuts, actions, are gone. It's just a barebones photoshop fresh out of the box 😞is there a way for me to use time machine to move a preference folder over?i always saved my workspaces within Photoshop, and it's gone after the camera raw updatewas there a way for me to have saved my photoshop settings to the cloud? please help  

When you use your mouse to 'scrub' the text size/leading/tracking/kerning values up/down it is jumping about 40-50 pt at a time - it used to only jump a few pt at a time, so now it's not really usable - you have to manually type changes into the size/leading/tracking/kerning fields Is there a fix for this, or a setting I'm unaware of? This is in Photoshop 26.5.0 and I've only noticed it recently, so assume it's this (or closely previous) version

Where is perspective crop today?

 My cursor does strange things when I'm using Photoshop.  This only happens intermittently with Photoshop and is never an issue with other applications. I'm running Mac 12.6.2 and Photoshop 26.5.0 on a Macbook Pro.  My cursor "jumps" to the lower left corner of my screen. For example, if I open an image from a Finder window, when I toggle back to Photoshop the cursor is down in the extremem lower left corner of the screen.  I have this corner set as a "hot corner" to initiate my screen saver -- so the screen saver kicks in and slows down my work flow.   I *could* turn off the hot corner.....but I want to know why this is happening and if I can resolve my jumpy cursor.  Thanks for any help y'all!

0 down vote  favorite   I'm working with Photoshop and making a java script file to automate Photoshop.But I cannot find a method to center align the layer according to a document.For example I have a psd file in which five layer are horizontally side by side to each other I remove the third layer now there is a empty space against that layer, now I want that the forth layer come to third place and fifth come to forth place and all these four layers center align according to a document.What is the shortest and easiest solution to this problem?

I believe that this was not true in the past, but in Photoshop 26.5.0, a locked layer can be moved around and selected by auto-select. For me the point of locking layers is to be able to maintain the appearance of the file while moving things around underneath another layer. It works right up until the point when I try to duplicate an item using option click and then it becomes clear auto-select has selected the top locked layer, not the object underneath, because it duplicates and moves that locked layer, as shown in the attached video. Please fix this so that a locked layer is once again ignored by auto-select.

I have a question about an important option being greyed out in PS CS6; I am not sure how to make it an active option. The panel for the Edit: Color Settings has a Color Management Profiles section with the option to Ask When Opening for applying a Color Profile to images with Missig Profiles, but it is greyed out. See the image attached below. The red dot shows what I am refering to. This would be an important option to have available, since it would allow me to add a Color Profile to the many images that I import from another DCC that have no embedded Color Profile. As to why it is greyed out, I do not see options that would change its status, except that the closest option would seem to be changing the Color Management Policies: RGB from Off to one of the other options, but those options are also greyed out. How can the Ask When Opening option be made available?

Im new to adobe and I cant figure out how to replace faces. I really like this picture of my dogs together but I wish my one dog didnt look so awkward and looked happy like her other one and I want to switch them out with a picture where here face does look happy, so they both look happy in the same one because that is the only picture of them together. If anyone could help please it would be super appreciated!

Howdy folks, Hope all is well! So, I've just been given a collection of just under 200 vinyl records from my dad to try and sell. After recording all their names/years and taking photos of both the front and back of each record, I am now ready to prep a nice package to send to some potential buyers. That said, I currently have 382 photos to work through... I've renamed them all in the following manner: "Record1_front" ... "Record1_back" /// "Record2_front" ... "Record2_back". What I'm doing is opening a canvas in Photoshop that is twice the width of one photo, placing both the "front" and "back" files onto the canvas, placing the front on the left and the back on the right, then saving in a different folder with just the name "Record 1" /// "Record2". Is there a way to automate this process for every image in my folder? Appreciate your time and help! James

I have a script to save files as PSDs, that of course errors out when the file is over 2GB, since it should save as a PSB instead. Basic logic, I'd like the script to check file size, and determine if it needs to be a PSD or a PSB and save, without throwing an error.Where/when would I check the file size to have a script to save as PSB?I've recorded save as PSB via script listener, and I'm seeing 2 different states for saving PSBs, "Begin" and "Success", along with a background file save complete.var jsFilePath = "/Users/<<USER_NAME>>/Desktop/theFileOver2GB.psb" // ======================================================= Begin var idsave = stringIDToTypeID( "save" ); var desc766 = new ActionDescriptor(); var idas = stringIDToTypeID( "as" ); var desc767 = new ActionDescriptor(); var idmaximizeCompatibility = stringIDToTypeID( "maximizeCompatibility" ); desc767.putBoolean( idmaximizeCompatibility, true ); var idlargeDocumentFormat = st

Hello, so I have been using photoshop for over 20 years and recently something changed and I can't figure it out......So I often have a ton of windows open in photoshop to edit so I have them as "Floating Windows". In the past if I resized an image, the Floating window (the dark grey background area) would resize with it. It would also auto rotate the Floating Window with the image. Now the image gets cut off if rotated. I have tried both with the Overscroll potion checked and unchecked. I also tried with Zoom resizes window checked and unchecked....nothing is changing the behavior of the floating windows. Any suggestions??

After Photoshop was updated to v 26.6.0 a couple of days ago, it will not run if Lightroom Classic (Release 14.3) is running at the same time. It will start, but take a long time doing so, and the Windows Resource Monitor indicates that it is not responding. If I close Lightroom, then Photoshop will start working. If I start Photoshop by itself, it works fine until I start Lightroom, then it becomes unresponsive. I have tried uninstalling both applications, then re-installing them several times, but nothing changes. I have tried disabling GPU acceleration in both programs, but the problem still persists. I am on a Windows 11 PC with 64GB RAM. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have version 29.5 for Photoshop but there are no options for Deactivate Native Canvas. Any tips?

I received the following email this morning. Does this look real or like a scam? I'm afraid to click on the links.   [Moderator blurred sensitive information]

Hi there - just wondering if anyone knows how to create this kind of print effect? Thank you!

I just moved from a 2019 iMac to a Mac Studio M4 Max (2TB SSD, 64GB/16 Core). I have been working off a Sabrent USB-3.2 external docking station (https://sabrent.com/products/ds-sc4b?srsltid=AfmBOooS-DjNxD6zoL67XDT6TTJRhhftLQYBipfCAxXA4oTg8HIRx-NB) that holds my files. I do all processing (RAW files in Capture One) and retouching (Photoshop) off of the 7200rpm drives inside the Sabrent box. Would there be ANY speed advantage if I moved to a Thunderbolt 3 Storage Enclosure like the OWC ThunderBay 4 over my current USB-C box, or is the only way to take full advantage of the Thunderbolt speed bump to also work off of SSD drives? I'm guessing that the faster Thunderbolt docking station will not result in faster working speeds with my 7200rpm hard drives because the speed bottleneck is the hard drive itself, not the interface.
