Photoshop

This only started happening I think with the previous (25.4?) update, or at least a couple months ago. Basically the Layers panel always starts collapsed after opening a new blank document. See screenshot below. I have to double click it to expand it. At first I thought it was an issue with my custom workspace, but then I tried enabling Essentials (Default) and resetting it, and it still does it! Things I've Tried:Switching to Essentials (Default) and then selecting "Reset Essentials" to be sureEnsuring the preference for "Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels" is uncheckedEnsuring "Auto Show Hidden Panels" is checkedEnabling / Disabling "Lock workspace" Things I've Noticed:For both the Essentials workspace (and even my custom workspace), if I hit Reset workspace, the Layers panel DOES expand how it should. However, if I then close Photoshop and re-open, new documents again start with it minimized.The panel is indeed collapsed, not just shrunken like you'd drag it small. Because w

Dialogue box stops appearing after using PS for 15-30 minutes. The only fix is to restart the application then restart the computer as restarting the application only works for so long. I am currently running PS 27.8 on a Mac with Tahoe 26.4

Since updating to the latest Photoshop 2026 (27.x), the keyboard shortcuts (Mac) no longer work. However, they still work properly in Photoshop 2025 (26.2).How do I fix this?

Using Photoshop 27.4.0, Mac Tahoe 26.4, using my computer when working in Photoshop.  I used to be able to use Command H to hide the application as I worked between LR and Ps.  That shortcut continues to work on my older computer, on my new laptop, but for some reason no longer works on my Mac Mini.  The only way I can minimize it is to click on the yellow circle in top left corner.  I’ve gone into Keyboard Shortcuts, to View > Extras which shows the Command symbol+H.  How do I get the shortcut back the way I want it to work? Thanks in advance.

One particular font on my system (Highway Gothic) suddenly has a bug on Photoshop. I’ve used it daily for 2 years and it continues to work without issue on other applications (including Adobe Animate). On Photoshop, this particular font resizes the text cursor so ridiculously large it’s unusable. This began last week randomly. See the attached screenshot – default settings, 6 pt at 300 DPI, the cursor is more than double the size of the canvas. Have tried deleting/reinstalling the font, deleting Photoshop’s font cache, the settings file, updating, resetting the character panel, and restarting my computer. I can’t get this font to go back to working normally.  

When attempting to use the “Rotate Object” tool, it starts the process and right when I’d expect it to allow me to rotate the object it puts me back to before I’d hit transform with a pop up that fails to load. I initially thought it could be a credits issue however I have ample credits and have used the tool before. If I’m missing something I’d appriciate some help. There should also be a video attached to this. Thanks.

I'm reporting what appears to be a GPU rendering bug in Photoshop.I recently purchased a new HP Omen laptop specifically for Photoshop work, but I'm experiencing a persistent graphics issue that only occurs in Photoshop.SystemHP Omen Laptop Windows 11 AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU AMD Radeon 610M (integrated GPU) Photoshop 27.8 (also tested with 26.11.6)IssueRandom black horizontal lines appear only inside the Photoshop canvas.The artifacts usually appear while:Moving the mouse Panning the document Zooming Moving or transforming layersThe important detail is that the artifacts are limited to the image canvas only.The Photoshop interface (menus, panels, toolbar, etc.) remains completely normal, and the artifacts never appear elsewhere in Windows.I've attached a screenshot where the black line is visible only inside the canvas.Sometimes the issue becomes worse:Photoshop freezes. The screen briefly goes black. The laptop suddenly restarts. There is no BSOD.Importan

I wanted to buy Premiere Pro, but I made a mistake and instead I bought photoshop. Can I have a refund? or is it over for me :,(

I just bought the new samsung book 5 pro 360 with the ultra 7 and intel arc graphics for using photoshop. it has 16 gb of ram and let me tell you, it runs like a turtle. this laptop cost almost 2 grand so I feel like it should be able to use Photoshop without any issues. I dont even know what is the cause of this, I have tried searching for advice but nothing super helpful comes up. Has anybody else got this laptoip or experienced this. Mike

The floating ‘Generative Fill/Remove’ UI on Photoshop sits often in the middle of the screen and canvas. I constantly find it hovers over the exact area I want to see/click on. Is there a way to solve this?

Bonjour, depuis plusieurs semaines avec la dernière version ( 27.9.1) ou avec une version ultérieur (26.11.6) quand je travaille avec PhotoShop mon ordinateur s'éteint.Ce problème est uniquement avec PhotoShop, j'utilise IndeSign et Adobe Acrobat toute le journée et je n’ai aucun problème.

Hello Adobe Community and experts,I’ve recently encountered a severe and puzzling issue with text rendering and export in Photoshop 2025 and 2026, which was not present before.Text becomes noticeably blurry and pixelated, both in the preview window and in the final exported/saved files (Export/Save As). This occurs regardless of the document’s resolution being set to 300 PPI or 72 PPI.The most peculiar aspect is the difference in behavior based on document units:Documents created with Centimeters (CM) as the unit (e.g., from Print presets) exhibit perfectly clear and sharp text. However, documents created with Pixels (PX) as the unit suffer from this text blurriness and pixelation.This issue started occurring only very recently (within the last few days) and was not an issue with previously created pixel-based files in the same Photoshop versions.Troubleshooting Steps Attempted (That Did Not Resolve the Issue):I have already tried several common troubleshooting steps without success:Ch

Here's an interesting yet gross tech adaptation moment I did not see comoing.I feel utterly violated. Upon export of an image I just completed to send off I am being prompted that a content credential is being applied because generative AI was used.And this is Adobe's to watermark in my image metadata how?That is the first problem. [cursing removed] with watermarking my images. If Adobe wants to watermark my images, they can pay the subscription. Until then, this has ethical implications that transcend the nature of our relationship. The second problem is: THERE IS NO GENERATIVE AI in MY IMAGE.I need first to be clear that even if there were, Adobe has no business force tagging creations I have made with the tools I pay for with information I do not want included. Among dozens of other concerns moral and ethical, there's the challenge that I face now; Adobe is playing content creation police and they are issuing a ticket for Ai when there is none and I CANNOT OVERRIDE IT

Ver. 27.9.1 (Windows 11) - When I try to edit the color of a Color Overlay Layer Style, the program freezes.  I can’t click the color swatch to change it, but I can use the eyedropper to change the color.  ANY other click results in a Windows chime sound saying that something is wrong.  Photoshop is frozen, I can’t exit the Layer Styles editor, can’t do anything except ‘End task’ Photoshop.   While typing this I also tried editing the color of a different layer Style, and as soon as I click the color swatch the same behavior results.  I also used the Paintbrush (not within a Lyer Style edit, just painting on a layer) and clicked the color swatch, same thing happens - the cursor changes to the Eyedropper and every click, no matter where, sets off the Windows sound and Photoshop is totally unresponsive. Keyboard shortcuts to change the tool (V or M) do nothing, just the same Windows sound as a response.  I have to force the program to shutdown, there’s no way out of this loop.

When I go to Merge Layers (Ctrl + E) it is not responding. I have tried using a different keyboard and still run into this issue. The selection itself works (right clicking and selecting Merge Layers myself) but the key command is not responding.  Any way to fix it?

When I’m typing a word with Polish letter ‘ą’ I’m selecting all text so my text is gone in the middle of typing. Every time I have to type something with that letter I have to stop after this letter, click right arrow to deselect and go back to typing. Letter works fine but at the same time it’s selecting all text. For selecting all text should only work Ctrl+A, not Alt+A.
