It would be really useful to be able to programically transform or tranlate a layer in a no-destructive easily repeatable wayThis would include a lens warp barrel distortion feature, like the optic distortion in camera rawAn offset left/right up/downA scale feature to 2 decimal places (very important) currently can scale with lens correction scale but only whole numbersThere have been so many occations ive wanted these things but have to do them manually and write them in the layer name to try to remember settings
I am using AI features and am getting this error message, even after 10 hours
Changing a layer containing a graphic from Normal to any of the options no longer works. Previously as I scrolled down the list, a preview of each choice would display. That is also no longer functioning.Photoshop 27.8.0Mac OS 26.5.2
Does anyone know why I sometimes have to press a tool shortcut several times for the tool switch to stick?For roughly the last six months (not exactly sure), I’ve noticed this on all four of my computers. In about 50% of cases, I have to press a shortcut key (for example, B) several times to make sure the tool actually switches.If I press it only once or twice, I can literally see the tool switch to the Brush tool and then immediately switch back to the previous tool.Has anyone else experienced this?Please don’t recommend disabling Spring-Loaded Tools, because I don’t want to have to press another shortcut again to switch back after temporarily using Zoom (Z).
Hello, I have a bug on my personal computer. When I use Photoshop, after two or three edits like generative expand, painting, or even just hue and saturation, Photoshop makes my computer crash and restart. I use the license at my office at work with no problem. So it really seems to come from my PC, or maybe a setting that needs to be changed in PS. Does anyone know the solution? I'm using the latest version of Photoshop. I’ve tried turning my computer off and on again, reinstalling Photoshop, reinstalling the Creative Cloud suite, but nothing works. _____Bonjour, j’ai un bug sur mon ordinateur personnel. Quand j’utilise Photoshop, après deux ou trois retouches comme l’agrandissement génératif, la peinture ou même juste teintes et saturation, Photoshop fait planter mon ordinateur et le fait redémarrer. J’utilise la licence au bureau sans aucun problème. Donc tout indique que le bug vient de mon PC, ou peut être d’un paramètre à modifier dans Photoshop. Est ce que quelqu’un connaît
I recently discovered that banding has started appearing in smooth color gradients when saving JPEGs in Adobe Photoshop. Naturally, I always save at maximum quality—12 out of 12. If I save as an 8-bit TIFF and then convert to JPEG using FastStone, I can select RGB as the photometric type in the save options; furthermore, I don't necessarily have to choose 100% quality—which would result in a 40 MB file for my example—since 95% is perfectly adequate for me, yielding flawless gradients and a file size of 16 MB, matching what Photoshop produces at its maximum quality setting (12 out of 12). Samples are here: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/7mPxpYfAsDOR7gCan you implement RGB photometry support in JPEG to achieve better image quality?
Hey there,Since the introduction of the EU AI Act I need to know precisely which tools in Photoshop will get my work flagged as AI, so I can circumvent their use.I already ditched LRC because of this and for not getting any answers on said questions anywhere. Working with the basic toolset on PS right now, but since selections apparently are also made with AI now, and anything involving AI seems to get flagged, I need to know precisely, please. Why - because some of my clients aren’t very happy about getting their pics flagged upon using them on Meta platforms because I removed a bottle, and because they need to be “clearly marked” as “Made with AI” or whatever else. I can already see this becoming a huge headache. Marking every single file in various sizes for print and Social Media. Thanks.Please someone clarify. I can only find slop info on this, plus a PDF from Capacanada, and I have to ask for every single tool, because a general slop question leaves tools out it informed me as us
Hello,Apparently many creators are aware of this issue (I saw TextureLabs complain about it on youtube among others), and I personally encountered it enough times. The performance hit seems to appear mostly on big canvases. more pattern fill layers = bigger performance hit. but if they’re at 0 angle, then the performance is fine. I don’t know if a smaller scale also contributes to it.This is an issue especially because it limits the patterns I can create and use on photoshop as I feel forced to use patterns on 0° angle, but then, creating the pattern as rotated from the start makes it difficult-to-impossible to seamlessly fill the corners using photoshop only.I don’t see why would the performance be impacted if the pattern is an angle more than what it would as 0. I don’t think any computations need to keep on happening once the pattern is displayed. [Moved to Photoshop by a moderator]
When using the Photoshop Line Tool with an arrowhead, the rectangular line shaft can protrude through the sloping sides of the arrowhead if a small arrowhead width is used. This creates two small but clearly visible spikes on either side of the arrowhead.Photoshop version:27.9.1OS:Windows 11Steps to reproduce:Create a new document. Select the Line Tool in Shape mode. Make sure both Fill and Stroke are enabled. Set the Stroke width for example to 34 px. Enable an arrowhead at the end of the line. Set the arrowhead width to 3 px and draw an arrow. Zoom in on the transition between the shaft and the arrowhead. At this point, the two bottom corners of the rectangular shaft protrude through the diagonal sides of the arrowhead.Changing only the arrowhead width from 3 px to 5 px makes the artifacts disappear.Expected result:The shaft should be fully contained within the arrowhead, and the arrowhead should have clean, uninterrupted diagonal edges regardless of the selected arrowhead width.Actu

The "Export As" window is glitching, which sometimes makes it go behind Photoshop. Additionally, its size does not stay adjusted as usual and it is always smaller. I have to resize it every time I open the program and use the "Export As" function.Another problem is that the file preview is pixelated, which does not happen in the regular version. This started in this last beta update; it didn't have this problem before. Furthermore, the image only looks good if I set the zoom to 100%. However, I cannot see the full image with good quality like before because it goes past the borders. I have to keep moving it to see the corners that do not show up. Image from Photoshop version 27.9 Previous version 27.8 is perfectly normal and trouble-free.Image from Photoshop version 27.8I reported this bug in the Beta version, and even so, they updated the definitive version with the exact same error that many people were complaining about. Apparently, the Beta version is no longer serving its purpose
When using the ruler in inches in Photoshop Web, there are five section to an inch (Attachment 1), as opposed to the inch ruler in the Photoshop desktop, which accurately depicts an inch with four sections (Attachment 2). Also, notice the size of the ruler marks in both version. As a high school photography teacher, im certian this inconistancy will confuse students and make simple measurement or readings uneccesarily difficult and push students away form using the web version of Photoshop. I'm recommending the inch ruler in Photoshop Web be corrected to resemble the inch ruler in the Phjotoshop desktop app. This is neccessary fix that can easy be corrected and released in a future update.
It's no wonder there have been a few threads here about printing from macOS Sequoia. I'm not an early adopter, meaning my main Mac is still on macOS Ventura and, mainly, PS24, so I've not experienced this printing issue.. But, today I experienced the Sequoia/Photoshop 25 print pipeline issue we've been hearing about here. I wonder about macOS Sonoma too now. In Photoshop's print process, I prefer to use Photoshop Manages Color and select the ICC profile myself - meaning that, now, I just need to go to the Print Settings (which opens the Epson or Canon etc. print driver), and, there, under Printer Options/Print Settings I select the media type and also check that in the Color Matching section the options are greyed out - with Colorsync selected [here, as below, the options should be greyed, because selecting Photoshop Manages Color tells the driver to disable color management]. What's the issue with printing?Selected options within
I’ve been publishing for over thirty years and never had this issue. KDP demands exact dimensions for book covers, but recently, I am unable to resize images to fit those dimesions. I realize Photoshop uses pixels, but in publishing, you have to use inches. When i go to image size and deselect the resampling, as advised, and then insert my proper dimensions, Photoshop changes those dimesions so that the cover size is incorrect.I’ve tried checking and unchecking resample.I’ve tried starting over with a new template of the size needed, and it still won’t let me decide what size I need. The correct width and height is 13.198 x 9.25. When i can make those changes and save it, then open it back up, Photoshop has changed one or the other setting. The settings have to be exact, so without a solution to this, i can’t upload book covers.
Photoshop version 20.0macOS Monterey, version 12.0.1Image> Resize> Image Size is changing the size of the canvas, instead of the size of the image on the canvas.I often resize large grayscale images that I have scanned, so that I can create smaller multiples to print on one 8.5" x 11" page. In the new version, resizing the image *also* resizes the canvas to the same size as the image, instead of preserving the canvas size at 8.5" x 11". (For example, when I resize an image to 2" x 3", the canvas size changes to 2" x 3" right along with the image.)
I shot a long bridge in a rural part of my state. Since I was using a wide angle lens, I shot the left side and the right side with overlap to create a panorama. I could not stand in the middle because there’s a big creek so I shot from the right bank as close to the middle as I could get. When I edited the pano, the end result was a noticeable curve of the bridge. The only way to fix this is either Puppet Warp which is quite tedious or use Liquify which is pretty much Puppet Warp Lite. So my thought is this. Would it be possible to change Liquify’s circle to a straight line kind of like a linear gradient? Have it so that line could be set at any length to flatten one thing or the width of the image to flatten a long curve? Or, if anyone could offer another way to make this happen, I would appreciate it.
I recently upgraded my motherboard and now I can’t use my copy of Photoshop CS6 because it says my serial number is already in use by the maximum allowed computers.Those computers no longer exist, so I have no way to deactivate the licences on them.I tried to deactivate devices in my account settings, but that didn’t help. Is there any other way to deactivate the old installs? Thanks
I clicked the mask thumbnail, checked whether the colour is set to real black but the brush does not erases the parts of the embedded image anylonger.Any clue how to fix this? I used it earlier this morning without problems however all of a sudden this issue appeared… problem solved 😉
After updating to Photoshop 27.9.1, the Options bar across the top of the UI no longer works. If I create a gradient, if I make any changes to it via the Options bar, nothing happens. I can’t change Gradient presets, change the the type of gradient (linear, radial, etc), Reverse, or method. These all work in the Properties panel, however, and I have to change them from there. Steps to repeat this bug:Apply a gradient Go to the Options bar at the top of the page with the gradient layer selected and make a change to the gradient or click reverse. Nothing happens. Swapping colors also does not work. Expected Result: Gradient will change by changing settings in the Options bar.Actual Result: The options change in the options bar but nothing happens to the gradient.My computer: Mac Studio 2023, Apple M2 Max, running Tahoe 26.6.2Installed Version of Photoshop: Photoshop 27.9.1This appears to be a bug as it is happening since the last update. Thank you.
Hello everyone, my name is Leo. I am from Chengdu, China. I have encountered a considerable predicament. I intend to purchase the latest iteration of Photoshop via the official platform for self‑study; nevertheless, I am denied access to the official up‑to‑date tutorials as well as practical operational resources. For Chinese citizens, access to overseas servers is not permitted under domestic regulated internet infrastructure. Unauthorised deployment or procurement of circumvention‑oriented technical services constitutes a violation of relevant laws and regulations. Consequently, I am precluded from viewing and studying the latest official tutorials released by Adobe, which leaves me deeply distressed. I earnestly solicit assistance from instructors, fellow community members and academic practitioners. Could anyone advise viable solutions to this dilemma? I anticipate feedback from all educators, peers and specialists. Thank you, and I wish everyone well‑being in daily life.
Quite expensive for such a program! that crash every day, delaying my work as much assomeones sanity can handle. every day I have to close and open at least about 5 to 10 times each session to reset photshop. Dont accpt keyboard shorcuts, or when tools selects it keep selecting something else, not responding to command on layer.
This seems to be a new recent flaw in the Photoshop desktop application where it doesn’t display or even process colors to match those in the ipad Photoshop. Colors on the desktop Photoshop are duller, darker, and even create a grey fuzzy outline around the blended edge of a layer. This gets even worse when I have the Ipad color profile on RGB, then bring it to the desktop Photoshop also in RGB. It seems less bad when going from HSB sliders on the ipad into RGB desktop photoshop, but still bad enough that I can’t continue like this. Please, please help!
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.
