Photoshop

First time posting here. When I open my installed programs in the windows 11 settings tab, I see two copies of Photoshop 2026 installed- 27.1.0.17 and 27.4.0.15. They are not listed in the creative cloud desktop, currently I do not have photoshop as a downloaded program there. So I try to use the windows uninstall and they will not uninstall. Next I tried the cleanup tool, and when I look through the list of programs able to be removed the only installed program able to be removed is Lightroom which I have installed and would like to keep it as it is. I just want to uninstall the duplicate programs and install photoshop once.

Subject: "Program Error" specifically with Remove Tool on Mac Studio M2 Max (but Neural Filters work)Hi everyone,I’m facing a persistent "Program Error" in Photoshop (v27.6.0) on my Mac Studio (M2 Max, 64GB RAM). The error occurs every time I use the Remove Tool (or any Replace operation) the moment I release the mouse button.The strange part:The Neural Filters work perfectly and can be downloaded/applied without issues. The same Photoshop version works flawlessly on my MacBook Air M4. The error on the Mac Studio happens even on a new, empty 8-bit RGB document.What I have already tried:Complete Clean Install: Used the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool, reinstalled on the internal Macintosh HD (it was previously on an external SSD). Preferences: Reset on launch; toggled "Stable" vs. "Faster" processing in Image Processing. GPU Settings: Deactivated "Use Graphics Processor"; tried "Basic" mode; disabled OpenCL. Folders: I noticed that ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/UXP/PluginsStorage/PHSP/27/In

In Photoshop’s Canvas Size window, I can no longer reliably use negative numbers to relatively change the canvas size. Yes, “Relative to Current Dimension” is checked. The only way around this that I’ve found so far is to change the units to inches and then back to pixels. Here is a video:  I’m using version 27.6.0 in macOS 26.5. 

I used DNG converter with Sony's three raw formats for the A7 V. Although the ARW files for the HQ and compressed formats are much smaller than the lossless compressed file, the DNG from the lossless compressed file is smaller than the other two. Does that make sense? Since the other two are lossy, I expected the corresponding DNGs to be smaller.  Here are sizes for 3 shots of the same thing:Lossless compressed:  48.56 MB ARW → 40.95 MB DNGCompressed HQ:  34.05 MB ARW → 42.61 MB DNGCompressed:  34.33 MB ARW → 42.87 MB DNG

The remove tool is not working in PS 27.6.0. I get the message “required components are being downloaded check back later”. I’ve gone to the Creative Cloud app and it shows the components are installed, I’ve deleted PS and reinstalled it, rebuilt the preference files, restarted my M1 iMac running OS 26.4.1, checked settings to use the more stable options, but nothing helps, the same message keeps popping up every time I try to click on the remove tool icon. 

I’m using the Firefly workspace in Photoshop 27.6 for generating since there is the possibility to generate 4k images. This works most of the time. Now I have the problem that the generating takes forever and nothing happens. But the credits are gone of course… This should never ever happen. Credits shouldn’t be charged at the beginning of generating but when generating is finished. Just because of problems like this or you want to abort because of fixing the prompt. It is really annoying getting credits charged for nothing.

I’m getting Content Credentials message when I am trying to clean my own photos in photoshop with AI through firefly.  This will be a major problem and I’ll have to find another platform if it continues.  Is there a work around or bug fix for this?

Bonjour, Comment faire pour que les réglages présents dans la fenêtre “Paramètres d’impression Photoshop” lorsqu’on fait “Imprimer” reste enregistrés d’un fichier à l’autreJ’ai besoin dans “Gestion des Couleurs” que le “Traitement des couleurs” reste sur “Laisser Photoshop gérer les couleurs” et que le profil d’imprimante reste sur mon “cifa…” Actuellement, même sans quitter Photoshop, dès que j’ouvre un nouveau fichier le traitement des couleurs revient à “Laisser l’imprimante gérer les couleurs”Merci de votre aide.

오브젝트 마스크 도구를 사용해서 객체를 선택하고 속성 패널에서 패더, 불투명도는 활성화가 되어있는데. 확장은 활성화가 되어있지 않습니다. 그리고 다른 영상이나 사진들을 보면 선택한 객체가 빨간색으로 칠해져 있고 외각선은 점선으로 표시가 되어있는데. 제 화면은 선택하면 외각선 점선 표시는 없습니다. 빨간색 칠만 되어있죠. 차이점이 뭔지 알고싶고 확장 기능을 꼭 사용하고 싶습니다. 감사합니다.

Last year, my company switched everyone to PC laptops and it’s been trouble ever since. Latest issue: Photoshop printing. If we can even get the list of printer profiles to appear, they all appear to be video settings.  Doing what investigation and experimentation I can (they have these machines locked down to an insane degree), looks like Photoshop is ignoring the system profile folder C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color in favor of its own folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Color\MPProfiles. This seems to be filled with profiles After Effects and Premiere need.  I tried (on my personal PC) moving all the video profiles into a Video folder but PS still displays them. I don’t want to remove them entirely as I figure AE and PP are using them for something. But I also can’t add the actual printer drivers to this folder due to the aforementioned locked-down nature of the work computer. So my question is two-fold: do I need all these video profiles, and can I point Photos

On both of my Macs, PS 2026 Command-Shift-F has completely stopped working since yesterday. Was there some kind of wonky update? I’ve scoured Google searching for a fix. I’m on a deadline… help!!

Hi everyone 👋I’m trying to understand something in Photoshop and would love your insights.When working with images (especially using Generative Fill / AI tools), what’s your usual workflow to keep results consistent and avoid unexpected outputs?I’ve noticed that small changes in prompts, selections, or layer structure can sometimes lead to very different results, and I’m curious how experienced users manage: consistency in edits control over AI-generated variations and maintaining overall project quality Are there any best practices, techniques, or hidden tips you rely on when working with Photoshop in real projects?Would really appreciate your experience 

Liebes Adobe-Team, bitte gebt uns die Möglichkeit, die Hover-Ebenengrenzen auszuschalten. Gerade in der professionellen Bildbearbeitung wäre eine Ausschaltfunktion für die Hover-Ebenengrenzen in Photoshop sehr sinnvoll. Besonders bei feinen Farbnuancen und präzisen Retuschen arbeiten wir häufig mit dem schnellen Ein- und Ausschalten von Ebenen, um Unterschiede direkt vergleichen zu können. Die eingeblendeten Hover-Linien stören dabei jedoch die Wahrnehmung subtiler Farb- und Helligkeitsänderungen. Dadurch werden feine Unterschiede teilweise überdeckt oder verfälscht wahrgenommen.Die aktuelle minimale Breite von 0,5 px ist hierfür bereits zu deutlich sichtbar. Idealerweise sollte sich die Darstellung entweder auf 0 px reduzieren lassen oder alternativ über den Menüpunkt „Ansicht“ vollständig deaktivierbar sein. Da diese Hervorhebung in früheren Versionen nicht vorhanden war, sollte es unbedingt die Möglichkeit geben, sie optional auszuschalten.Bitte berücksichtigt diese Funktion bereits

hi, when i do batch processing on large number of files i eventually run of disk space and the operation stops due to scratch fulling. i read that during the operation photoshop makes temporary files and that's why it takes 300gb after a few hours of running. all i need to do is restart the photoshop and the space is available again. but i have to start the process all over reconfigruing to not include processed images which takes time. and i can't leave it overnight because of that. is there a way to make it purge itself after each iteration for the already processed files? thanks 

Photoshop 27.4 and 27.5 are completely broken on Win 11 with an NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti. The app freezes when selecting the Remove Tool, changing any panels, or opening the New Document screen. On exit, it consistently hangs in the background and won't close on its own; you have to kill the process manually, which resets all setting changes.Version 27.3.1 and below work as intended. Additionally, 27.4 and 27.5 work just fine on a PC with Win 10 and an AMD W5500. The issue seems to be specific to Win 11.

Hi everyone,​As someone deeply involved in Cybersecurity and Programming, I’ve analyzed the recurring performance issues many users face with Adobe Creative Cloud apps (Photoshop, Premiere, etc.). Many crashes aren't just "bugs," but often stem from system conflicts or optimization gaps.​Here is a technical checklist to fix lags and crashes effectively:​GPU Drivers: Always switch to NVIDIA Studio Drivers instead of Game Ready drivers. They are optimized for stability in Adobe software. ​Memory Leaks: Regularly use Edit > Purge > All to clear the cache. This prevents the software from choking on temporary data. ​Scratch Disks: Ensure your scratch disk has at least 20% free space. SSDs are mandatory for high performance here. ​Antivirus Exclusions: Sometimes security software blocks Adobe's background processes. Adding Adobe folders to the "Exclusion List" can stop random freezes.​I hope this helps stabilize your workflow!Have you tried these steps before, or are you still experien

I recently got a new PC laptop and Photoshop has been acting weird since on only this one issue. I am using Photoshop 27.5.If I hold Shift to move something in a straight line, it very often will send the object back to where it started when I release. This mostly happens when I do it in this order: Click on object - hold SHIFT as I drag it - release. If I do the following: Hold SHIFT as I click on object and while I drag it - then release, it works as it should.Surely the answer is “then just do the latter” but this used to work fine on my previous computer and there has to be a reason. On a similar note, if I hold shift to select multiple objects on different layers, it will only work if I hold shift from the moment I click on the first object. If I click on the first object, then hold shift while I click on the second, it will deselect the first.All of this also occurs whether or not my Wacom tablet is plugged in.I have tried the following based on numerous Google searches:Sticky ke

As you can see in the photo, after I apply my layer mask, it Photoshop seems to be creating these transparent areas around the edges. How can I get rid of these or what settings are causing this? 

Everything was working fine, but now I am unable to use the generative fill feature in both Photoshop and Illustrator, as it says "Please check the internet connection and try again". Attaching the screenshot for your reference. Would be great if someone could help.Thank you 🙂

When I try to use Generative Fill as I have done many times in the past, I get an error message saying “This feature is currently not available”. This only started happening when I installed PS v27.6.0 this morning. I checked and I still have credits available. I am using PS on a Windows 11 PC with the latest updates (as of April 26, 2026). Help! I use generative fill all the time. 

I'm using the latest PS/ACR version on a Windows 11 laptop.I extracted two lossless PNG files from different 4K (30 FPS) videos taken with the same camera - Nikon P1100.The first image was a bird with a blue sky background.  I edited the bird with an ACR filter subject mask and did a surprisingly good job of lifting shadows, as well as some other minor slider tweaks.  A few more PS tweaks, and the jpg was ready to go.The second image was a bird with a marsh and woods background.  I used an ACR filter subject mask and darkened the bird without performing any background masking.  However, as soon as I exited the ACR filter session with the change and returned to PS, the background was badly muted, so I had to abandon that edit and make subject mask tweaks in PS.Two questions.  First - why was the background muted in the second image?  Second - for future edits with lossless PNG files extracted from videos, is it best to attempt ACR filter subject mask tweaks, or just do them in PS?
