I work a lot with layers, plugins, and now adding generative AI to my workflow. Will the following specs work well for Photoshop while fixing my slow rendering problem?Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 265 processor (20-Core, 66MB Total Cache, 1.8GHz to 5.3GHz), NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 6GB GDDR6 ,32 GB DDR5, 2 x 16 GB, 5200 MT/s ,1 TB, M.2, PCIe NVMe, SSD
For groups, Pass Through is Normal!For groups, Normal is Abnormal!That paradox made it hard to me to understand Adobe’s user manual on this topic (here), which seemed to be describing the opposite of what actually happens.I’ve attempted a clarified version below (which would constitute a separate subsection, specific to groups):Specify a blending mode for a groupWhen you choose the Normal blending mode for a group, you adopt the normal order in which the image components are put together. Normally, all of the layers in the group are put together first. The composite group is then treated as a single image and blended with the rest of the image using the selected blending mode. Therefore, none of the adjustment layers or layer blending modes inside the group will apply to layers outside the group.By default, instead of Normal, the blending mode for a group is Pass Through. The group’s adjustment layers and layer blending modes are applied first, before any compositing, and therefore aff
What am I doing wrong? I import an object as a linked object, and I want to scale it using numbers, not handle dragging. I look in the Properties palette, but the W and H fields are not available. Why am I having to post a question about this?...
Googling has not helped and, while there is one post in the Adobe Community that presents EXACTLY my same issue, there was no assistance provided (link: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/adobe-crash-processor-exe-doesn-t-stop-after-i-exit-photoshop-and-it-locks-up-my-files-and-or-folder/m-p/14306961) Every time I close Photoshop, I am unable to move or delete the file that I just closed. When I run PowerToys' File Locksmith, I can see the file is locked by Adobe Crash Processor.EXE. I end the Adobe Crash Processor.EXE process and my file is unlocked and can be manipulated. This happens EVERY time I close photoshop, even after ensuring I am updated to the most recent version. Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.
Hello! There seems to be something weird going on whenever I am zooming in or out of my canvas. These white outlines around the canvas just flash, are broken and appear randomly and it is super annoying to work with. Is there any way to turn them off? I am on a Macbook M1 Max 2021 and Tahoe 26.3.1 and Photoshop 27.5.0. These outlines seem broken so any help would be much appreciated!
Photoshop doesn’t remember the Layers panel setting—each launch hides it, requiring manual reactivation via Window > Layers. Tried multiple fixes but nothing works. Any solution?
Is it normal with the new update, to not have anymore the options for the model?
In the photoshop print dialog box I have a very long list of profiles, most of which I never use. Is there a way to cut down on the number of profiles that I see there and have to scroll through? Do I have to find and delete the ones I will probably never use, or can I move them to another folder to get them out of the way?
Please, I need the categories tab to be reactivated when I open the file information (shift + option + command + i) while editing photos. This feature is very important for photographers who work with news agencies.See the attached screenshot. thanks so much !
Why does an image pixelate so much when I place it in a smaller-sized image using Photoshop 2026? How do I prevent that from happening?
After the last update 27.4, Photoshop freezes when trying to change the size or hardness of the brush. It only helped to switch back to the previous version 27.3.1 There are no errors when the program freezes, and if you minimize the application and expand it, it will restore. But the brush settings won't change, and if you try to change them again, Photoshop freezes again.
I truly appreciate the recent addition of the "Remove" option in the Contextual Task Bar. However, I would like to suggest a small but meaningful improvement to enhance user control and experience. Currently, the Remove Option in Contextual Bar works via Generative AI (cloud-based), and the Contextual Task Bar reflects only this mode. It would be much more efficient and user-friendly if the Contextual Task Bar adapts based on the user's chosen mode of the Remove Tool. Suggestion:If the user has Generative AI turned ON, then the cloud-based Remove option should appear in the Contextual Task Bar. If the user has Generative AI turned OFF, then the on-device Remove option should be available in the same Contextual Task Bar instead of removing the feature altogether. This will provide a seamless workflow and give users better control, especially when they prefer offline or on-device operations.
Sometimes, and seemingly at random, Hue Sat layers will become blank (no UI) until I restart Photoshop. Unfortunately it only happens after having the program open for quite a while and I cannot at all tell what triggers it or how to reproduce. Let me know if there’s any sort of diagnostic I can provide, though. SysInfo and screenshot of what I’m talking about attached.
Creative Cloud installs (at least six (6) helper apps/applets. In macOS Tahoe, these create some confusion as many of them don’t open. Please recode them to fall under Spotlight’s Other section
A new workflow in Photoshop desktop makes it easier to explore, organize, and refine creative directions, without breaking your flow! What’s new With version 27.5, you can now open your cloud documents directly in Firefly Boards from Photoshop. This lets you quickly explore ideas, create and compare variations, and organize concepts visually before taking your preferred version back into Photoshop for detailed editing. The result is a smoother creative loop from ideation to refinement using the same cloud document throughout. You can start from an existing Photoshop cloud document, place it on a Firefly Board, experiment with variations, make adjustments, and keep everything neatly organized in one place. When you’re ready, simply open any variation back in Photoshop and continue editing with all the precision tools you already rely on. Learn more about Firefly Boards in Photoshop How to use it On the Photoshop desktop home screen, go to Your files. From the three‑dot menu next to a
Last week, Gen Ai using firefly was fine. This week it is not considering the subject when using the prompt. Support was no help. This morning I tried to remove a white cord laying against a cream colored wall. I selected the area around it and first tried no prompt. It gave me a green sword instead . I then tried cream colored wall . It gave me three more green swords. Remove worked on this but not others. I find the remove in LR to be better. What I really need it for is an action I’ve built that helps me paint out digital paintings. I make several layers with different channels and it builds different versions of the image. I then mask away the parts I like. In the screen shot you can see what it looks like as the final version in the past, what the little girl should look like, how the newest version of firefly handles the same prompt, and then how it looks when I revert back to firefly image 3 . Still not as good as it was.
Photoshop v 27.5 crashes due to an “unexpected error” every time a document is opened. It doesn’t matter how the document is accessed, whether from the “open” option on the top bar, the document itself on a hardrive, or on the homescreen of the app. Opening a new file works fine.
Добрый день. У меня не работает генеративная подписка в фотошопе. У меня оплаченный тарифный план на 20 гигабайт. Задолженностей нет.Версия фотошопа 27.5. Creative cloude обновлен. Драйвера обновлены. Брандмауэр выключен. Ничего не помогает.
On Photoshop 27.3.1, document.duplicate() returns a readable handle; on Photoshop 27.5.0, the same plugin/build and same source document returned handle is unreadable (The document with an id of undefined does not exist.).
PLEASE ADOBE, get serious. We need this one so much and fast.My case (and I guess, many others):I'm doing some clean up in a ACES shot (32b EXR Seq), using After Effects (Last version) with Content-Aware Fill. When I create a Reference Frame (EXR, not PSD) it opens in Photoshop (Last version), and the problem starts:1) It looks all blown up in the highlights. When is going to be ACES Management automatic?2) After looking on several places, find a way to apply some color look up to appear similar to the AE preview in my DELL monitors. Ok, great! (?) Well, Not yet...3) When is Adobe going to LET US USE ALL THE TOOLS, including Generative AI in 32b?4) Ok, downgrading to 16b, simple isnt it? NO. The image changes and the aplied luts no longer looks the same. So...5) How to match color and levels in 16b to see the image THE SAME WAY I see it in AE? Work on it, and the save it in 32b again as it were before, and be able to see that EXR frame to update in AE to FINALLY be able to run "Generat
For years I've been working with a regular RGB/32bit Photoshop document with an Output Transform Color Lookup adjustment layer, and then an Inverse_sRGB Colour Lookup adjustment layer for compositing V-Ray ACEScg renders. This was due to Photoshop not using OCIO natively. This set up has worked perfectly for years but is now broken. Example of the correct colours here: This is with using ACES Config 1.2. With the latest release of Photoshop the Inverse sRGB adjustment layer now converts overbright pixels to weird colours (hot pinks, reds, or turquoises).Now that Photoshop can create OCIO documents I've just tried dragging my layers from the regular PSD to the OCIO version. I've hidden my colour transform layers and the render looks identical to the non-OCIO document. However, when I go to File > Export > Export PNG the colours are thrown off and it way too saturated. How can I get Photoshop to either stop throwing the colours way off in the standard PSD document,
In the Dutch version of Photoshop 2026 on macOS, there is a confusing translation in the Actions panel.When you open “Handelingsopties” (Action Options) for an action and assign a Function Key shortcut, you can enable two modifiers: “Shift” and “Opdracht”. The label “Opdracht” is currently used for the Command key modifier.In Dutch UI terminology, “opdracht” is normally read as “task/command (an instruction)” rather than as the name of a physical modifier key on the keyboard. Because of this, it is not obvious that “Opdracht” refers to the macOS Command (⌘) key. It also risks confusion with other uses of “opdracht” in the interface that refer to an action or command, not a key.I would like to request that this label be changed to something that clearly identifies the keyboard key, for example: “Command‑toets” or “Command (⌘)” This would make the meaning of the modifier consistent with how other modifier keys and the Command key itself are typically named in Dutch UI translations, and
I’m working on a 24x36 layered file in photoshop. I need to change my canvas size but every time I hit the canvas size in the menu I get this error: Drover error in ok_cancel_dialog:You must override UI_Node::measureFile: layout descriptionLine 00010: sub_layout(name: "content");char 00000: ^^^I’ve tried to make sure my photoshop is up to date. I’ve tried turning on and off each layer. I’ve opened brand new files and I am getting the same error. I’ve tried to unlock the background or even delete it and just leave an empty layer and I still can’t change the canvas size. I’m not using artboards. Photoshop gives me a learn how to fix button that takes me to errors when saving a document, which is not a problem for me. Any fixes are helpful as I’ve only got a few days to get this file out.
I’m having the this issue for more than a week. I’ve installed and reinstalled both older (2024) versions and the updated Photoshop 2025, changed the Mac settings, etc., but nothing worked. Honestly, it’s such a headache, and there’s no way to get a response from a support advisor to help with this. It’s really frustrating.
