Photoshop

I optimized my images, but the file sizes are still heavy and affecting page speed. What export settings or formats do you recommend for better web performance?

I have a Mac Mini with M1 chip. I’ve been using Photoshop without any issues until a couple of days ago. I have been doing frequent edits using the remove button on specific selections without issue. Now, however, when clicking the remove button I get the error message, “Can't use the Removal Tool because your system is running Rosetta.”  I do not understand why this is suddenly an issue and have been unable to find a solution. I’ve seen the Get Info solution from posts from a few years ago, but there is no such option for disabling or unchecking open with Rosetta for me. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling without success. The only potentially relevant change I can think of is that the Mac OS updated to Tahoe 26.2 this week. The Activity Monitor lists the Photoshop app as Intel, which has been indicated as an issue, but this was not a problem until a few days ago, and, regardless, I can’t figure out how to download a different version in Creative Cloud. The Intel version is the o

 My Images have a larger background than the image. Its not the canvas, that I know how to change, but each image that I open, has a much larger background (see screenshot) This problem is new after asking AI about something else, it told me to reset things, and restart Photoshop and I’ve been plagued by various problems. This is the last one, the others I’ve solved. I need the images that I open or “NEW” to revert to same dimensions as the image, instead of this very large background. Not sure what it is called.  

Photoshop is suddenly now forcing Content Credentials on ALL my exports, regardless or whether or not any AI was used, and regardless of whether or not Content Credentials (Beta) is enabled. See attached screenshots. Additionally, it’s saying the export used Adobe Firefly specifically. Not any other AI model. So it’s basically branding every export with Adobe Firefly, regardless of reality.

When I try to create a path from selection, it interpolates the pixels as intended. Is there a way to select the pixel squares specifically as squares rather than it interpolating the pixels? 

Hello Adobe Support Team,After updating to Photoshop v27.3 and v27.3.1, I encountered an issue when using the Curves adjustment.When adjusting Curves on the composite RGB channel (not individual R, G, or B channels), if I make an additional adjustment afterward, a residual or ghosted image from the previous adjustment appears. If I switch to another layer and then return to the original layer, the residual image disappears. However, if I continue adjusting the Curves, the ghosting issue reappears.I tested this behavior by downgrading to Photoshop v27.2, and the issue does not occur in that version. The Curves adjustment works as expected in v27.2 without any residual artifacts.This issue seems to be specific to v27.3 and v27.3.1 and may be related to how Curves adjustments are refreshed or rendered.Thank you for your time and support. I hope this information is helpful for identifying and resolving the issue.

I upgraded to Photoshop 2025, and now my swatch library is gone; also, the legacy swatches are not the legacy swatches I'm used to.When I upgraded Photoshop, I clicked the button to restore/keep all previous settings.I need to get my swatch library back. Swatches are labeled and organized with it's own title and name for each swatch.Also, I prefer the old swatch library with the gradients and patterns with a good selection of colors. This new swatch thing is ridiculous. I don't have the time to re-make new unstable swatch libraries for RGB and CYMK. I want the old library back- how?Mac Studio, Sequoia 15.1

A serious problem appeared suddenly yesterday in Photoshop.My long-used workflow with large feathered selections no longer behaves correctly during direct adjustments such as Curves, Levels and Saturation.Reproducible issue:Large image Large selection area Feather values between 250 px and 700 px Direct adjustment via Curves / LevelsExpected result:A very broad and soft tonal transition.Actual result:The transition remains extremely narrow, visually similar to a much smaller feather radius.Important observations:The same workflow functioned correctly until yesterday Feather is actually stored in the selection (verified with Ctrl+J transparency test) The problem specifically affects practical adjustment behavior during Curves / Levels operations Reproduced after complete clean reinstall Adobe Cleaner Tool used Preferences reset GPU disabled and tested Multiple Photoshop versions tested Same behavior on a new Windows user profileThis seriously affects fast local correction workflows base

Hi,after the latest update of the CS suite programs like Photoshop (windows) I am not able to record the executing/opening of a JSX script anymore. I have done this many times before: executing a JSX within an action; as described e.g. in this very old posting:  Screenshots of these steps:  It should look like this: Bug? Feature? Any idea/suggestion? Thanks!mycc

Updated my OS and now Adobe Creative Suite doesn’t seem to work. Photoshop will not load at all and says broken. Have tried uninstalling but now cannot re-install.

I see today that the Creative Cloud Desktop app has changed. I use (or I used to use) this app to keep track of the different versions of Ps, Br, ACR installed. I could uninstall a version or reinstall an older version. I could also see whether there were any pending updates for any or all of the different version that I have installed. I currently have three version of Ps and three versions of Br installed. But with the newest version of CC Desktop I cannot see any Br or ACR app, and I only see the latest version of Ps. It did briefly flash that a new version of Ps was available, but then it also said there was a new version of CC Desktop. Now I can’t find the update for Ps.Very, very confusing.Any insight, observations, or suggestions would be appreciated.Peter

Playing around with the gen AI partner models in #Adobe Photoshop beta today to see the difference between that workflow, and doing some old fashioned content creation using stock images. Rather than a lengthy screen share, here is a short timeline showing the process. Adding a diver to the photograph using FLUX.1 Kontext [pro] within seconds (using an M4 Max MacBook Pro) and then the Harmonise function (which is truly amazing) to blend the asset into the scene seamlessly and easily with one click. Then adding a second asset in the same way. It took longer to compile the timeline video and render than to create the scene!For production design work I would use the Adobe Firefly model, or resort to stock imagery (and the lengthy search for the right image), but you can see it is a timesaver using the Generative AI Partner models. #generativeAI  

When using “Save For Web”, the output file size is not updating when actively changing values like “lossy” or “dither”. The user must exit out of the value box in order for the file output size to update. This “bug” occurred after a recent update to the Photoshop app (27.7.0 Release) and is an undesired experience causing workflow issues. Please look into this. Thanks. 

Version 27.7.0 / WIndowsI oftentimes add many guides (by exact percentage) to my documents.So I use the New guide pop-up.It was always a quick and streamlined process as the number field was preselected, I just had to write in it and hit Enter. Now I have to manually click in (or Tab into) the number field to be able to write my numbers.This is clearly a regression because of the new pop-up. So I consider it a bug.I think the Canvas Size dialog box already had the same problem, so you could consider it a feature request there and in every other pop-up too: Always the first input field should be the active one, not the OK button which makes not much sense.That could be pushed by hitting Enter no matter what part of the pop-up is active.Thanks for looking into it!

Do you have a dream? I know i do. To one day own a functional adobe product that doesn’t consistently crash. To never again have to experience a crash DURING a save which not only corrupts the working file but wipes the autorecover folder because Photoshop thought the save went well, losing two days of work that now has to be immediately all redone. It’s ok Adobe, I didn’t have any plans for the next 16 hours anyway. I’ve been hurt by you before, it was my fault to trust you not to completely make a mess of the bed.Oh, and the hue/saturation properties bug prevalent in PS 2025 STILL isn’t fixed for 2026.

I want to create Action to access Shadow/Highlight in Photoshop 2026 on my new Mac. I had it on my old Mac, so I know it was possible. When I try to record, it says there are no actions listed. Can someone please explain how to do this?

The function perfectly identifies distractions but, in the elimination phase using the cloud, 9 times out of 10 it reports that the Internet connection is missing, when in fact it is perfectly active.

Photoshop CC Version: 23.0.1 Operating System: Windows 10   I am a new user to Photoshop CC, but I have been using Photoshop CS6 and older versions over the course of 15 years.  A quality of life change that I noticed in CC is that whenever I use the type tool, it no longer allows me to move the text by dragging anywhere outside the editable area when the type tool is active.  There appears to be an invisible "bounding box" that only allows me to move the text within a specific region before the cursor reverts back to my OS cursor and immediately commits the text rather than letting me drag it around.  Additionally, when I click to place text and the line is blank, I have no option whatsoever to move the text unless one character is added.  This is incredibly frustrating to work with as the type tool has never behaved this way prior to CC and I don't understand why this functionality was changed.   Upon further research, I noticed optional extensions

i know that there is some problem with reflection removal section, but in camera raw, it is not working also, it cant remove anything, do you know guys how to solve this problem, or its a worldwide problem? 

회사에서 PSD를 공유해서 사용 중인데다들 폰트가 잘 뜨는데 (16, 17pt ...)저한테만 아래 이미지처럼 소수점으로 뜹니다.사이즈도 한참 작아지구요...해결방법이 있을까요? 

I didn't renew Photoshop, but I used it to do a revision, even without renewing, and because of that, the Photoshop watermark appears in Canva. I tried merging some layers as I did before, but the command doesn't work and the option to merge layers doesn't appear. I also tried using Camera Raw, and it appears grayed out. Could it be because I haven't renewed the license? Thank you.

I am reviewing selects from a shoot in Bridge and opening in Photoshop. Camera Raw 18.3 opens and has an error reading “operation could not be completed” and when I click Okay. It just opens the error again. The only way to make it go away is by force quitting Photoshop
