Photoshop

Hi there, Whenever I open Photoshop or Illustrator and I go to adjust the sizes of the document, they keep resetting back to their default state. It's a really annoying bug, I need to start the document with the default settings that they're sitting at and do all the formatting when the new file is open. Happens on both Mac and Windows for me. Is this a known bug or something new? I've had it for a few Photoshop versions now 😞 Any help would be appreciated. Kind regards,Jonny

 I have been using photoshop to create images and drag them from photoshop to illustrator to create an svg. It was as simple as grabbing the image in photoshop,highlight with the move tool and draging it and dropping it to illustrator, but now it doesnt work. I do not have run as administrator on - as I have watched videos on youtube that explain this is something that can help with this issue, it did not. Can anyone help me? I am using versions of Photoshop 26.4.1 and illustrator 29.3.1. Thank you in advance.

Before the Photoshop 2025 update, I was able to select a layer within a group by simply using Alt/Option + Left Click when my Move Tool was set to Auto-Select and the dropdown was on "Group". This option no longer works, and my muscle memory is struggling here hahaha, since I've been using Command + Alt + Right Click to achieve the same function.Any help with this? I'd love to have the simpler option working again.PS: I thought I was going crazy, so I went to do some research and found forum posts confirming that the simple shortcut I’m referring to actually did exist.https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/3523/direct-select-layer-ps

 Here's what happens... I "Save as" my file to Photoshop PDF.  I open the created PDF. One character—an a in the last paragraph line—is split in half, one side displaying as white. Random. I save and resave, duplicate layers, delete layers (always good), and try exporting with other PDF presets. Same result. What is WRONG?! The font is Adobe Text Pro. There are two text layers. (Deleting one doesn't change the outcome.) I've experienced this before, usually end up converting text layers to smart objects. (Since this is a book cover, that's... not a smart option this time.)  I'd like to know why this happens and what I can do to resolve it. Any help?

I was working on a project in photoshop for school. I worked on it for HOURS today. I kept saving every time I did something big (so maybe every 15-30 minutes). I would go to File-> Save. Then I was nearing the end of my project so I started saving a copy; IE "project_v1", "project_v2" etc.  Then I made a final copy and called it "completed_project_myname".  Then I started having an issue where files couldn't be loaded into PS (I couldn't drag a png image into photoshop or import it in any other method) so I figured it was bugging out and that it was time to restart the program.  I went to close the program and it said something like "you have made changes to your file would you like to save them?" so I figured sure why not. I clicked yes. Then it opened the same save dialogue and I clicked through all the yes's and then I clicked save and then it closed the dialogue but photoshop wouldn't close. When I clicked close again it said the same thing "you ha

Hello,I’ve noticed a performance issue with Photoshop on my Lenovo Legion Slim 7 Gen 8 (Core i7-13700H, NVIDIA RTX 4060). Although the GPU is detected correctly in Preferences > Performance and GPU usage is enabled, Photoshop performance (brushes, zoom, pan, etc.) is sluggish compared to expected dGPU performance.I’ve already done the following:Enabled "Use Graphics Processor" and "GPU compositing" in Photoshop preferencesSet High Performance NVIDIA GPU in Windows Graphics SettingsSet dGPU mode in Lenovo VantageDisabled "Optimizations for windowed games"Enabled Hardware Accelerated GPU SchedulingHowever, the issue persists only on the internal laptop display. When I connect an external monitor, Photoshop performs significantly better – indicating that the dGPU is actually utilized properly only in that case.I’ve read similar posts dating back to 2013 suggesting that Photoshop still renders through the iGPU when using the internal display due to system architecture (Optimus / MUX).

When zooming in my image gets brighter, but it should stay the same as I edited it at 100% 34.6% and lower 31,5 and higher Same happens when I "flatten the image" then I don't need to change the zoom level. What's going on? I need consistency. The effect shows less on the screenshot, it's more noticeable in reality.

just launched Photoshop and got this message.   Could not complete your request because the file is already in use or was left open by another application. Use “Chooser” to select a printer and try again.  Haven't even tried to open a file.   

Hello! Do someone know if it is possible to resize multiple images with a script even through they have different sizes?

I'm trying to download Kyle's brushes which I normally access by Googling 'photoshop download kyle's brushes.' Now it's redirecting me to the site but the display is not as usual with all the brush collection but rather it is telling me to sign in like Free trial  or  Sign in I checked on the upper right side icon and I am in fact signed in. Checked my billing and everything is correct. I can't find if the brushes have been moved to another extra payment thing (which would be awful). Or has anyone encountred this? I tried signing in and out. My apps are up to date. Don't know what else could be the issue.

At one time, I made an action for Photoshop that would both save my image as a jpeg and as a psd. It was such a time saver!! Over time, I lost it. I can't seem to make one now as it keeps trying to save the same photo that I originally make the action on. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Some times I get following message Window when using Generative Fill. How  to fix it? guidelines do not help me. My Ps is a latest version.  

I use Windows 10. Use Photoshop only for image adjustments and manipulation.Installed Photoshop 2025 and have 2 main problems. 1. After opening a jpeg image, if I crop the image and want to save it again in jpeg I cannot.. The "save as" option only shows PSD. I can only save in jpeg as a copy.2. If I open a jpeg image, crop it, then want to adjust it using the Camera Raw Filter I see only in the Camera Raw window the full (original) image and not the cropped image.I downloaded also the Photoshop 2024 version and the problem persists.Only using Photoshop 2021 version can I obtain good results.Thank you.

Hello everyone, First time posting here! I am a senior graphic designer working on a Creative Studio. We recently purchased new screens to update our working experience. Dell 27’ Ultrasharp (3840x2160 resolution). To my surprise I noticed that images in Photoshop started to appear smaller than usual when I used “View > 100%” . I contacted an Adobe agent through chat and I was informed that my screen resolution is way too big for the program therefore I won’t be able to see the real size of my artworks. This is essential for me in order to work fast and be accurate. When will that update can be expected? I feel that it is one of the basic needs for the majority of graphic designers working on digital material for online commerce.Thank you in advance!Mari  

I just upgraded to Sequoia on the Mac, and just updated my Adobe programs. When I launch it is asking me if I want to "Skip loading optional and third-party plug-ins?" I'm not aware if I need this or not??? My old version of PS never asked me this when I launched. Why is this doing this now? And what do I want? I'm not really sure.... If I had plug-ins in the past, I'm not really aware what they were, as I don't recall. Help!

An artist wants to share a photoshop file for me to view. Adobe constantly asks for me to request access. This causes long delays in workflow. can access be made permanent with a sgared folder?

All of a sudden when I try using my paint bucket or eye dropper or color picker it will interpret the color I choose in a grey. It is utilizing the grey scale only.What happened. I am working in CS3. Does anyone know how to fix this?

When Photoshop is in a modal state during executeAsModal() then the entire UI thread is blocked. That makes it hard for me to improve the user experience with my UXP Photoshop plugin. I program extensive layer blending operations for star trail processing. This can easily take many minutes or hours once started depending on file size and quantitiy of imported photos. Since mouse clicks cannot be processed at all during modal state and hence the UI is not responding I wonder if there is another "hack" to introduce a Cancel button rather than just pressing the escape keyboard button to abort operations.Does anybody know whether this will ever be possible somehow in the future? As much as I understand that modal state is not a bad thing I'm not happy with the user experience. The fact that running operations can't be stopped from a user interface is annoying.However, I know... there are worse things after all... 😉

I've never had this problem before. I'm running CS5 Extended 64-bit. Here is my problem:I have an image with text on it. When I open the image, everything looks fine. But if I rotate it with the tranform tool, the image then becomes noticably pixelated. This has never happened before... or at least I don't think it has. It's really distracting and looks horrible. Could someone please help me out? What's going on and how do I fix it? I just opened up Photoshop tonight and it started happening. Below is an example of what's happening.The original image: After rotating with Tranform tool: Notice how the edges are not as smooth as the original. The same thing happens when I try to re-scale the image... what's going on!!?

Hi everyone,I often work with rasterized text layers where Layer Styles (like gradients) are lost. Manually recreating gradients using the Eyedropper tool takes too much time, Therefore, I'm looking for a script that can:1, Auto-detect and extract the gradient from a rasterized layer.2, Recreate the gradient and save it as a Custom Gradient in Photoshop.3, (Optional) If possible, restore other lost Layer Styles like strokes or shadows.I repeat this task often, so automation would be a huge time-saver. Any guidance or script suggestions would be deeply appreciated!🙏 Huge thanks in advance!

What is the layer that the red arrow is pointing to? And how do I get it like that? How is it different from a normal layer with a checkerboard pattern? I've tried many methods but still can't find the way I want. If I typed something wrong, I apologize. I just started using Photoshop for the first time a few weeks ago. Some of them don't look like chipping mask because some of them just have a + symbol behind them. It's a layer that has a small thumbnail in the layer that is the work we created. I don't know what it is.

Existing machine:  Photoshop 25.12.1, Windows 10 (latest)New machine: Photoshop 26.4.1, Windows 11 (24H2, latest) On this page (https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/photoshop/using/preset-migration.html), updated just this past October 2024, Adobe describes how to migrate user preferences, actions, presets, etc. to a new computer.  It recommends using Edit > Presets > Export/Import Presets as the tool for achieving migration to a new machine. This tool does not exist in either my old machine or new machine.  In various other threads here, and in other Adobe web pages, I see that the standard help response seems to be "just find where the various files are stored and copy them to the new machine".   And yes, I've looked at your web page that describes where all of these files are stored, but I'm now skeptical about trusting that information. I find this really unacceptable on two counts:  1) Adobe does not have a current published user-frien
