Photoshop

Hello everyone, Just bought a new Macbook Pro and after installing Photoshop 2025 v26.3.0, it automatically starts when I turn on my Mac. The option "Open at Login" is not checked on the PS Icon in the dock. Is there someplace in the Photoshop settings that is telling it to launch at startup? I'd like to turn this off because I do not use Photoshop every day. Thanks for your help!

The attached image is one of mock up I like, I tried follow Youtube and other resources, but cannot make a one like this with perfect stereoscopic. Can anyone provide some hints or better resources that I can follow step by step to make a mock up file like attached photo ? Thank you

I feel like I always used to use the Direct Selection and Path Selection tools to move objects as well as edit them. Now moving with it requires me to hit Command T to transform first. This is how I've always used PS for the last 15 years so my brain is like, did something change or was there an update? I know the Move tool moves objects/elements, but I could have sworn that the Direct Selection and Path Selection tools do this as well. Anybody else have this same issue? I tried support but they said those tools never had this function.

I am working on a 2023 MacBook Air and just updated PS (2025). I have several images in Google Drive that look great in GD, however, when I download, unzip, and open them in PS they are almost totally desaturated, grainy and full of lines.  I have attached an example for reference. I have no idea how to remedy this. Help! : )   

Crashing a lot after install of 26.3.0. Also getting weird display artifacts like retangular shapes baked into the layers that seem to come from no where. It appears the layers became corrupted. Went to a previous file version and the layer is fine. Im running a iMac 2020 3.8 GHz 8-core intel Core i7. AMD radeon pro 5500 XT 8 GB graphics card. 128 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 ram. Plenty of storage. OS Sequoia 15.3.1. Ran for years on OS Catalina and Photoshop 23.5.2 with no issues. Profesional work everyday on large files. No issues. Until 26.3.0. Does is not like Sequoia? Is there a more stabe version for sequoia right now? Four years back I was told by adobe support to run Catalina with specific PS versions an they were not the latest and it was fine. Now I can get my work done. 

Given the Auto-select option is turned on., I'm used to the Move Tool selecting either any floating layer or the Background layer.Now the Move Tool will not select the Background anymore, unless I doouble-click it an convert it to a layer.How do I bring this behaviour back?  

Hi, I'm using Photoshop 22.0 in Windows 11. Starting this morning, every time I tried to save a file, the program crashed. I quit Photoshop and reset preferences. Now, not only does it crash on save, it crashes when I use File-> Open...Please advise.

I don't know why it's flickering. I have made a loom that highlights the issue more clearly : https://www.loom.com/share/8f93fb73c7db48e89b6392083b09d077

I would like to make a few questions for this community regarding WebP for web images:   Do you recommend switching over to WebP (from PNG and JPEG) for web images?Does it really decrease size preserving quality? I've realized that when I export to Webp, the colors are a bit off from my Photoshop design, whereas JPEGs seem more color-faithful. What color profile settings (or other settings) could improve the color fidelity of my WebP exports? I've found that I need to use an external image compressor (such as [removed by moderator]) to get my file to the optimal balance in quality vs size for websites. Is that really necessary, or can I get to an optimal compression using Photoshop WebP export settings alone? What method do you recommend going from Photoshop to an WebP final image optimized for the web?

Hi,since I am sometimes confronted with the issue of adjusting image proportions, I had an idea for a small add-on in the unit pull-down-menu in image size / canvas size: ProportionI am using this pretty frequently "by hand", but it would be neat if Photoshop calculated (on the basis of the given image proportions) the relative size of the image height / length with regard to a reference proportion. For instance let's say: I take 16 as a length reference (with the goal to resize for a 16:9 format) and PS calculates the according fraction of the height... Best regards, Andreas

I don't know if it is just me, but I cannot use the feature at all. I tried 10+ YouTube tutorials on going around it and read here about how to enable it, but nothing seems to work for me.   Method 1: I have a picture where I need to remove 1 Wire/Cable. I create a layer over on which I select the wire via the Remove Healing tool, but when I click on One click removal of wires and cables I get the message that I cannot do it on a transparent layer. So I delete the layer and try to do it on the actual image. Can't even select it.   Method 2:I create a selection with brush/laso/object selection tool. Select the surrounding of the cable and try using the same Remove healing tool (both on a layer and on the image). I get the same errors as before.   PS setting changes: I tried changing it in preferences under image processing - Remove tool processing from "faster" to "more stable". No luck   Yes, I have the latest PS update.   Oh yeah, and on top of that, even if I

Hi, I'm trying to use the different types of clone tools but non of them are working. For example: I want to remove a small fly in my picture by using the healing brush. When I drag my finger over the screen nothing is happening. Normally you get like a darker line on the area you drag your finger but now nothing is showing or changing!I didn't change anything in the settings and before it was working with no problem! Just one day I needed it and nothing happened. can someone please explain why it's not working? thank you in advance!

Hi there, Since I updated to 26.2 this morning, Photoshop is a pain [cursing removed] to work with. It became unresponsive, laggy as hell, when I alt+click on a mask it becomes gray and photoshop blocks, well, worst nightmare even. I've tried to deactivate my GPU in the preferences, it smoothes things a bit, but the interface is still not as responsive as before.   I'm using it since the past 15 years for my work, on big files, and it's the forst time I have so much issues with it. All my drivers are up to date, and I have a pretty decent workstation, so I don't understand what could cause that. If anybody has an idea, feel free to tell me what you think 🙂 Thanks in advance !!Here are the system info, just in case:  Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.2.0 20241207.r.140 bc85906 x64Number of Launches: 1301Operating System: Windows 10 64-bitVersion: 10 10.0.19045.5371System architecture: AMD CPU Family:15, Model:1, Stepping:0 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4

Hello! maybe 6? years ago in art class we used something in photoshop, visually similar to posterize, to reduce an image to a certain amount of colours to use in screen printing, we'd then separate the colours to different layers and use them to print with. I'm looking to find the tool that was used for this - The only example I have are photos of a printed out image using this process. I remember it coming up with a small grey pop up in the middle of the screen, and you were able to alter a slider to change the number, which would result in a more/less detailed image. Have been wondering this for years - would appreciate the help so much! Thank you 🙂 

[ Win11_Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.1.0]  Gradient presets in tools presets bug!. The presets don't save gradient styles like linear, reflecting, etc. I use an action [.js] to select presets by shortcuts, but this does not work even in the tool preset window.Moderator Note: Moved from Discussions section to Bugs section.

I just made a swatch and tried to save it. As soon as I clicked save swatch, the "waiting for libraries" dialogue box popped up and won't go away. The whole program is frozen. I can't even command-tab out of the program to get anywhere else. I had to go up into the apple menu and find safari as a "recent item" in order to type this message. The progress bar has filled up, but the dialogue box won't go away.I hope someone fixes this glitch. This is the second time this has happened to me and all I know to do is force quit and lose all my work in the file I'm working on. 😞~ Sarah

So I'm not sure what's happening here. I get a file let's say PNG (some other non-Adobe software used to create image), I open it in Photoshop and then I add some text under the file and save the file as PNG. I have some rip software that I use and then it's printed.  If I bypass the step where I open the file in photoshop, then I rip it without changing any settings and print it, I get a darker color. What is  causing this? I think the darker color is a more accurate representation on the monitor compared to what is printed. It seems like when saving the file I don't have my ducks in a row when it comes to the color profile so it's printing lighter/brighter. Color mode is RGB in photoshop and the other person who is sending me the file shows that he's exporting it in RGB mode as well. I'll attach an image of what my "Save copy" > PNG options look like. Any and all help would be appreciated

I have designed a full poster, however now I am told I am only allowed my font as Arial. I've tried copy and pasting from docs, etc to see if the font transfers over .. but it doesnt. Is there any possible way of making the font Arial without having to start all over again?

Hi! I keep running into this weird issue across all Adobe Apps (including PS) with some fonts. Currently, I'm having problems with the Montserrat font. Default kerning is terrible! Some letters keep getting glued together, others have decent kerning, and I have to correct everything every time manually. All of my settings are at default and I selected Metric kerning. I understand Montserrat is not some anonymous font, and Metric should do a decent job.Am I missing something? Does this happen to anyone else?

When I try and import photos photos and video from folders screen freezes!  Previosly it imported seamlessly.
