Selection Brush tool doesn't work on grayscale pages, didn’t tried all the other modes, but I’m sure it doesn’t work on grayscale pages.The history shows I used the Selection Brush tool, but no selection is made at all, all other selection ways works just fine, including quick mask mode.

Thanks to all who took part in our last, ‘Holy Island’, challenge. There were some great entries that showed the imagination and skill of this community.The regulars in these challenges will know that sometimes we start with a scene and sometimes an object. This week we have two starter images, the first with a magnifying glass and a paper. The second is the same magnifying glass but with a transparent background. You can use either, or both, to start your entry. The scene was created and rendered in Blender 3D with Adobe Substance 3D Designer and Adobe Substance 3D Painter used for textures.How imaginative can you get with this simple scene, or object?The “rules”:Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry. Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc. Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”. The challenge is not limited to Pho

Recently upgraded to 4K monitors under Windows 11 (i9, 128Mb) with an NVidia RTX 4060.  The speed at which Photoshop operated seems significantly improved.  Am I just imaging things?  It got me to wondering if the software is written for the latest (well near latest) and greatest hardware and has capabilities to adjust down for what is considered a reasonable level of backward compatibility.  Figured some of the gurus herein might have an understanding of how the interactions are actually taking place.  Thanks for any insights.

im trying to change the ppi of an image that is suppose to be at 1200 but reads as 72.  I open the image in Mac and resolutions reads 72 even thought the originator said its suppose to be 1200. I then open it in PS, go to image, size and change to 1200ppi & resample then save as.  Yet image is still at 72. How do I get art to stay & save at 1200?

I tried opening Photoshop this morning but I kept getting a message that it cannot open. I went to my Creative Cloud and it said Photoshop was not installed. It directed me to use Photoshop on the web browser. I downloaded the DMG file and opened it (working on a MAC) and it now works but ALL my Actions, Presets and Brushes from years of collection are gone. How do I get them back?

This morning trying to use generative fill in Photoshop and got the message "We're experiencing delays due to high demand. Please try again later."

There’s a new feature for the Remove Tool in PS 27.7.0, which allows for a local AI model that can be used “offline” and doesn’t require credits. It’s described here:  I meet the hardware and software requirements. Tried downloading this component / addon multiple times since yesterday, in PS and in CC App, but after 30-60 minutes the download always interrupts at 48% and it gives the error message “unable to extract files” and “error: code 127”. CC App lacks the basic function of resumable downloads, it always starts from the beginning. I have 630GB of free space, btw, so that’s not the issue. I did all the AI chat suggestions like deleting the Adobe temp folder contents on my root drive, giving full permissions for the folder, adding an exclusion for the folder in Windows 11 defender - none of that helped. Wasted a full hour in the chat with a human (?) or “human” agent that did not understand what the issue is, giving me completely irrelevant suggestions like “this feature does not

 After 27.8.2026 updates I face randomly several errors in Photoshop, Camera Raw and Lightroom. Freesing, closing, not exporting, memory issues. Anyone else? All those worked perfectly till the update. In Task Manager everything looks like before.

Hello allI am looking to ensure my workflow is optimised when I am working with RAW files through to the final print ready file.I normally open the RAW file and save it down as a PSD file. This is my working file.When I am happy with the image, I flatten the PSD and then save it as a TIF file. The flattened TIF can still be a large file size but I’ve always believed this is the best file format for the final design.Then that file is either printed as a standalone file or inserted into Indesign.I also resize the PSD and then save it as a web asset.I have come across creatives using TIF as the layered working file and also people using JPEG as the final file to either be printed or inserted into Indesign. I don’t normally use this workflow.Be great to get your thoughts. Thanks as ever.

I'm consistently getting the same problem where the image is displayed with a strong colour cast when it's perfectly neutral after conversion to Grey Gamma 2.2 in PS. I am using Edit>Convert to Profile (Advanced) to select convert to Greyscale Gamma 2.2 The change is instantaneous as preview is selected. I have tried other Greyscale options and all give the same colour cast. My monitors are obviously fully calibrated.I’ve now tried exported C1 files in Adobe RGB 98 and also Greyscale Gamma 2.2 and they too get the colour cast when converted and opened respectively in PS. This is a B&W conversion from a normal colour digital camera and I get the same when using those from a Monochrome sensor too.The image after conversion is perfectly neutral, it prints as such, but the strong cast in PS makes it nigh on impossible to make any meaningful changes and soft proofing is completely out of the question!!I need to print using Grey Gamma 2.2 for the QuadToneRIP in the making of digital n

After using the lasso tool to select the unwanted area, click generate in the floating toolbar. When the 3 options come up, select one. Upon clicking the background layer and the selection tool, when zooming in on the photo to continue editing, it stays pixilated and unresolved.  Tried all of the standard troubleshooting, including updating graphics card. 

I don't know what's happening, the same thing again, it doesn't complete the PS update and when I press cancel, I have to reload the PS program, when I open it everything is lost, all custom samples (brush, action). I wrote to Adobe, unfortunately, no answer. Obviously, I will have to terminate the cooperation, because for such a monthly payment, as a customer, I would expect them to fix the problems. I simply can't download the fourth version of the PS update.

Photoshop suddenly began displaying Lightroom images incorrectly until toggling Proof Colors (Command+Y). Around the same time, I had an action I used regularly to produce a sun flare, and all of the sudden the Gradient Fill colors no longer match the same HEX/RGB values used previously. Existing TIFFs when the colors were applying correctly and exported back to lightroom display correctly when opened in photoshop again, but newly created gradients appear less saturated despite identical RGB values. Photoshop preferences have been reset, i've uninstalled and reinstalled, and the issue persists.
