My keyboard shortcuts are not working in Photoshop at all.Regular typing works normally inside text fields, but none of the shortcuts respond (for example: V, B, Ctrl+T, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z, etc.).I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps: Reset Photoshop preferences using Ctrl + Alt + Shift on launch Verified that Keyboard Shortcuts are set to Default Switched keyboard language to English Restarted Photoshop and the computer multiple times Checked that I am not inside a text layer Reset tools inside Photoshop Disabled background applications that may interfere with shortcuts Updated Photoshop to the latest version Despite all of this, the keyboard shortcuts still do not work only inside Photoshop.The keyboard works perfectly in other applications.Is there any deeper fix related to system conflicts, drivers, or Photoshop configuration files that I may be missing?
CMD+C stops working intermittently when copying layers in Photoshop — keyboard focus lossThe problem: CMD+C randomly fails to copy selected layers. The failure is immediately noticeable by audio feedback — Photoshop plays a different sound when the copy fails compared to a successful copy. When copy fails, subsequent CMD+V produces no result. The issue happens very frequently and is reliably reproducible.The problem appears to be directly related to keyboard focus loss. Switching focus to another application and returning to Photoshop usually fixes it temporarily. Sometimes switching focus between panels within Photoshop itself also helps — but not always, which suggests the focus loss behavior is inconsistent.Environment:Adobe Photoshop 27.5.0 (2026) macOS 26.4.1 Apple M2 Max, 32 GB RAM Two external SDR displays Plugins loaded: Lumenzia 11.9.4, StreamDeck Plugin 2.2.4, CC Libraries, Share PanelSteps to reproduce:Open a multi-layer PSD document Select one or more layers in the Layers p
I’d like an option to collapse or expand all action sets in the new action panel, either with a menu item option or with a keyboard modifier when clicking on an action set:

i use this tool a lot and have experienced issue over last couple of months. I selct tool, then as normal start clicking over and image to make selection. The selction points I make then dissappear and i have to start again. usually the same issue repeats 2-3 times, teh new ai box appears every time, then it will work.My PS is alays up to date as is my operation system.I have two desk tops, a Ryzen chip at home office, a Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 265 (2.40 GHz) at Work office , boteh with GeForce RTX cards and 32 GB of Ram.I have been using Photoshop since v.5.0 and know what I’m doing with the program.
When I create a droplet in Photoshop 2025, it creates a folder instead of an EXE file. What is the solution?
I open the find/replace popup, and instead of typing I would like to copy/paste text into it live. Often I am editing files that need text changed and having that capability to grab text, and drop into the find/replace fields live would save having to close/open repeat….
I can create a border around my image using Select then selecting Edit/stroke and my image gets the required border.When I click on print my image comes up but without the border?What can I do please? Is there anyway I can have the border happen automatically. I’ve only just started to have this problem, I used to get a border all the time when I clicked on print.Your assistance would be appreciated thanks
No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selection edges will not be visible. Message has re-appearedThis warning was fixed/removed in Version 27.1, however after updating recently it seems to have re-appeared. Is this the case for others. If so is there a fix? This interrupts any automated processing and droplet processing.Thanks Ben
Let’s make a line drawing using Adobe Photoshop! Turning a photo into a painted or illustrated look is a technique many Photoshop users come back to, especially when experimenting with stylized effects. If you don’t want to use Adobe Illustrator, here’s a technique that can help turn your photos into line drawings.One approach that continues to be popular is combining the Oil Paint filter with Poster Edges to create a bold, graphic, almost hand-rendered result. How to Create this Effect in Photoshop: Step 1: Prepare your image Start with a high-contrast photo. Duplicate your background layer so you always have the original to fall back on. Step 2: Remove the background Use Select Subject or Remove Background to mask your image, then clean up any rough edges on the mask. Once it looks good, convert that masked layer into a Smart Object. Step 3: Apply the Oil Paint filter Go to Filter > Stylize > Oil Paint. Adjust the Stylization and Cleanliness sliders to smooth
I downloaded the new Photoshop 2026 (v27.0) and the Nano Banana & Flux image models aren't in there when I select a portion of any image, only the Firefly models are still available. I thought with the new update of Photoshop 2026 (v27.0) that these were now in the regular non beta version now? Am I wrong about this? Becasue according to this on your webiste (https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/desktop/whats-new/whats-new-in-adobe-photoshop-on-desktop.html) it should be. I've looked in the settings to see if there is something I have to check in order to enable this feature but i can't find anything. I'm looking for some advice for how to get this activated so it will appear in my Photoshop 2026 (v27.0).
I have attached a report I compiled after carrying out several tests in an attempt to identify the problem.PLEASE READ THE REPORT Adobe Photoshop 2026 (v27.4.0 and v27.5.0) causes repeated application hangs and, ultimately, a full macOS Kernel Panic on a Mac Pro 7,1 running macOS Sequoia 15.7.5. The same machine runs Photoshop 2025 and Photoshop Beta without any issues. Five crash/hang reports were collected over a single session, showing progressive deterioration culminating in a system-wide crash that forced a hard reboot.The component dynamic-torqnative appears in every single report and is identified as the root cause. This component is the new GPU rendering engine introduced in Photoshop 2026 and is not present in the same form in earlier versions.
After opening, processing and closing a few raw files from Lightroom Classic (15.1.1) in Photoshop (27.3.1), opening another raw file results in error message "there isn't enough room to display this document". My Win11 PC has 100's of GB free on C: (SSD) and D: (HDD) and 64 GB of RAM of which Photoshop is set to use 85%. My graphics card is an RTX 4060 Ti, with 16GB GDDR6.What does ‘not enough ROOM’ really mean? It cannot be disk space or RAM…The only solution is to close and restart Photoshop, which is rather annoying to do every few files.
Ever since the latest update, I will color pick a color using the eyedrop tool but the color wheel does not jump to the selected color. For example, if the last color I had on the color wheel is red and I eyedrop tool a blue color, the colorwheel will stay on the red color even though it says I have blue selected. This makes it hard to mix colors or see where they reside on the wheel. Is there a setting I can turn on or off to fix this? Thank you.
This script is used for ps to automatically zoom to 100% after opening an image.Now I want to add a function: after zooming in 100%, pop up the image size setting dialog box.I'm going to change the width of the image。Thank you very much.setZoom (100); function setZoom( zoom ) { cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); }; var docRes = activeDocument.resolution; activeDocument.resizeImage( undefined, undefined, 72/(zoom/100), ResampleMethod.NONE ); var desc = new ActionDescriptor(); var ref = new ActionReference(); ref.putEnumerated( cTID( "Mn " ), cTID( "MnIt" ), cTID( 'PrnS' ) ); desc.putReference( cTID( "null" ), ref ); executeAction( cTID( "slct" ), desc, DialogModes.NO ); activeDocument.resizeImage( undefined, undefined, docRes, ResampleMethod.NONE ); }
I’m trying to use the “Remove Tool” in Photoshop, but keep getting the “could not complete your request due to program error”. I’ve double checked that everything has been updated, signed out and back into my adobe account, deactivated GPU acceleration, reset photoshp preferences, etc.It keeps happening. One time I also got the “can not use this tool because activation failed” Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been experiencing a frustrating issue with Photoshop recently. Right after opening the program, it becomes unresponsive. No matter what I click – whether it's a menu, tool, or document – the program acts as if it's frozen. This unresponsiveness lasts for about a minute, after which Photoshop starts to function normally again. This problem doesn't reoccur until I close and reopen the program.I have tried all the solutions suggested on the internet, Adobe forums, and even had a service technician try to fix the problem remotely, but nothing has helped. The issue didn't start until after a certain program update, and unfortunately, reverting to previous versions hasn't resolved the problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling an older version didn't help either.Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? How did you manage to resolve it?This issue is clearly visible in the video that I am attaching.
I drew something by hand and I scanned it onto my computer, I have it in photoshop now and im wondering how do I remove all the white in-between each line manually
The swatch palette in Photoshop is easy to change accidentally, by accidentally deleting a swatch or moving it from its given place in the palette to another. Having the option to lock the palette and require permission if changes are made would make it easier to always know that each swatch will be where the user expects it to be.
Please have PS remember the previously entered values for Brightness/Contrast and Hue/Saturation to make it easer when adjusting subsequent layers. The values could already be in the fields when the dialog opens. No more writing down or trying to remember the last values you used. Thanks!
I make a lot of actions with the Actions panel. When I test out my new action, I go into the panel’s menu and change the speed so I can more easily debug my complicated baby action. But then I have to change it back, which is annoying. It would be great to see this:Within Actions/Playback Options, add a checkbox to add the “Performance” items to the bottom of the Actions panel. When checked, buttons corresponding to the three speeds, Accelerated, Step by Step, and Pause For:x, would appear. OR, just leave them there permanently without a checkbox to add, there’s certainly room for them.
We can save a “New Brush Preset” but if the new preset has the same name as an existing one, Photoshop Doesn’t Ask if you want to replace it, like it does with files, workspaces, etc. So you end up with another version (with an automatically appended number) and then you have to delete the other one.It just seems logical that PS should ask if you want to replace it if the name is the same.
This has been a topic for years, so I can’t fathom why it still happens. When I open an old JPEG and make a few mods and then chose Save As or Save a Copy the creation date changes to the present moment. When I check File Info before saving the creation date is correct.
Is there a way to return to the older color picker? I don’t what this is besides unusable. Thanks for any help.
