Photoshop

I think if I ever met the person in charge of PS development I'd probably get arrested. It's the only program that I use that simply hogs memory for no reason and causes my system to grind to a halt.  It just sits there with zero files open and zero tasks to do just guzzling memory - I just had to shut it down for the 10th time today as it was hoarding 18GB of memory while doing NOTHING. This has been going on for over a decade. Mind you I suppose it's par for the course from a company that can't even fix the CTRL D (deselect,) problem in over ten years.

i have the non-beta, the normal photoshop., i have the same problem, the generated fill becomes gray, and i cant find where to put the age on behance

Hi, for a few days now, whenever I open and close Photoshop files, I've noticed a gradual decrease in free space on my system disk, which isn't recovered until Photoshop crashes. This is definitely a Photoshop or system issue, as it never happened before and still doesn't happen on my old computer. Has anyone had or has a similar problem? I'm working on an M1 MacBook Pro with Sequoia version 15.6.

Hey all,  I recently upgrade from PS2020 to PS25 and aside from ui changes, I've had a shockingly bad memory leak issue crop up. Had a small psd open, 1000x1000, had 6 layers, and have ai features turned off. When i left my computer for the evening, i was using around 10gb of RAM of my total 64GB. When i woke up, i noticed my computer really chugging, which concerned me because it is a beast. Task manager showed i was using an 100% memory. I immediately closed chrome, nothing was released to free up ram, didn't see photoshop explicitly showing high memory usage, so didn't think about it at first. I started closing things down one by one based on the RAM usage in task manager, and nothing worked until i closed photoshop. That immediately released it. Won't be leaving docs open over night any time soon, but would be nice to have this fixed as i don't like resetting up my work space every day. Also generally just want to go back to PS2020 haha. Anyways, system specs in

I upgraded to Photoshop 27.7 yesterday afternoon and see that the Export>Save for Web interface has been changed. Is it possible to use the legacy interface?In my previous workflow, exporting to a specific width went like this:1. Export>Save for Web (Cmd-Shift-Opt-S)2. Tab 3 times3. Set width4. Save fileIn the new interface:1. Export>Save for Web (Cmd-Shift-Opt-S)2. Tab 16—SIXTEEN—times3. Set width4. Save fileNot a deal-breaker, but I do this hundreds of times a week and have for decades. It’s muscle memory, and whatever has been changed doesn’t matter to me in the slightest.

I have same problem here… zero solution. I tried updating the drivers for my graphics card, processor, and motherboard, but nothing helps.

I’m using the Parametric filter to create a felt applique image. The layer for the image is a smart object. When I add a new JPG or PNG to the smart object to use the filter, I;m getting the error, the material file provided cannot be read.Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening and any way to remedy it? 

A while ago, I noticed several new fonts appear in Photoshop which I had not added myself.  I wanted to remove one of these fonts (Gigantic regular) because I never use it, but it refuses to budge.I tried removing it via the Adobe Cloud app on my Windows 10 PC. In the app it would display as removed, but was still present in Photoshop. I tried this method several times, but the font would reappear both in the Cloud app and in Photoshop. Today, I noticed that it has disappeared from the Adobe Cloud app, and is displaying as having been removed, yet it is still available in Photoshop. Also, this font does not appear in the Windows font manager. It also shows as not installed on the Abode website where you can browse/add/remove all the available fonts.Can someone please help me remove this font, preferably without deleting all my other Adobe fonts that I use in Photoshop.

Hello everyone, Maybe you can help me?I am looking for a way to get pattern fills back into individual data.My idea would be a script that outputs the size of the individual tile of the pattern fill and adjusts the document size on this basis. now you would only have to rasterize and have the individual tile of the pattern fill? What is the best way to implement this? are there any other solutions? Many thanks in advance for your help 🙂

After selecting several color sample points I have numbered cross-hair points on the image and the RGB values shown in the side Info panel.  How do I clear all these color samples?  I have seen mentions of a “clear all” context menu option but I do not see such a thing.  How do I get rid of the sample points on the image and the data in the side  panel?

I would say 95% of the time when I go to use "generative expand" in photoshop I get this pop up, "Something went wrong. Please try again." My machine is updated, photoshop is updated, cache cleared, I even restarted my computer. After all of this, any time I go to use "generative expand" - which is on average once a week - it almost never works and I end up having to photoshop it the old fashioned way.  We switched to a subscription based service to have the newest technology, but what's the point if that new technology never works? I'm paying a premium price for the same features I used 10 years ago.  Generative expand is a great tool when and IF it works. Please fix because it's really annoying. 

I got the last version of photoshop. Under Plugins I only have plugin panel and manage plugin but no browse plug in.

Shift and control still allow me to save(ctrl+shift+s) or select my entire screen(ctrl+a) but its just layers and rotating to my current knowledge. I have already restarted my computer, redownloaded photoshop, and its an issue both with stylus and trackpad.

This same issue is driving me NUTS - I know how to use Photoshop - Used it for years - something changed… I can’t get a transparent box on export of PNG!!!

Photoshop 2026 limits undos/history to a maximum of 5. This is a known bug in Illustrator 2026 that has a fix in progress, announced on a similar thread for that program. I can’t find an equivalent thread for this same issue in the Photoshop forums, so figured I’d report just to be sure it’s been recorded/made visible. Not seeking assistance, I’m just going to go back to the previous stable version so I can keep scooting on my work, so this is just a report. Thank you!

Hi, I tried to open a file and got this message, which I’ve never seen before.  This is a fairly old file which I’ve opened many times before.  Any idea why I’m getting this message and if there is anything I can do about it?  Thanks.    

Been searching but haven't found answers.   How Do I Change Save / Save As Default from PSD to JPG in Photoshop CC?   These are my steps:   - Editing a RAW file in ACR - Then open it in Photoshop to do more edits - Save/Save As...   Photoshop defaults to PSD. I've read other discussions that's because Photoshop will default to original file format. But this is a RAW file, not a PSD file to begin with.   My question is how do I change this default to JPG instead of PSD? It's annoying having to use the mouse to go down the drop down menu and scroll through to find JPG to save the file. I move through keyboard shortcus, so stopping to use the mouse just do select JPG really slows me down.   Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi there! I'm having trouble trying to solve this problem concerning color correction.The image on the top right is in Photoshop and shows color corrected, accurate colors. The image on bottom right shows the exported JPEG in my computer photo viewer. The image on the LEFT is the upload to social media (Patreon).When I go to share this exported JPEG on email or social media, it becomes OVERLY saturated. What is happening, and how do I make them align?I am using these color settings in PSD:Any help is appreciated!

As the title explains, the Load Files into Stack was doing nothing at all.  I tried reinstall without removing settings and that didn’t work.  I then uninstalled Photoshop removing everything, rebooted, and then installed Photoshop and then it worked.This seems to be “standard operating procedure” at Adobe and it just isn’t acceptable.  There should at least be an error message … at a minimum!!!!  Maybe the reboot fixed it.  Maybe Jupiter aligned with Egypt but without any type of diagnostics, we are just stabbing in the dark. 

Can you change or make the space bar the hand tool again please?  I’ve been using Photoshop since nice the very beginning almost every day and it’s super annoying to lose this.thank you.
