Photoshop

Whenever I try to use my rectangular marquee tool, I get this:I am using version 27.8.0 on a Win 11 machine. I have been careful to make sure the correct layer is selected. I have no trouble with the lasso tools or select and mask, or with the other marquee tools. What is happening here?

Issue Summary:Using “Select > Subject” on an image triggers a hard crash of the entire machine with the error “Stop code: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (0x38) What failed: nviddmkm.sys”Sometimes results in corruption of the image that the command is run on as well as other images that are open at the same time making them no longer usable.Doesn’t occur every time the command is run.Workaround:Changing the preference “Image Processing > Select Subject and Remove Background” to "Cloud" prevents the issue.Documenting this issue here so maybe it might get fixed properly allowing local processing.Driver Info:Latest Nvidia Studio Driver 610.62Photoshop System Info and video of the crash occurring are attached.

When using Photoshop's Image Processor on my RAW files from Bridge (.CR2 files), every 2-5 photos (so far maximum ~12) I get an error telling me to check my access rights to the folder.  I made sure there were no outstanding Adobe updates, restarted my computer (Dell XPS 15, Windows 10), waited a whole day, tried new folders in various locations, checked security permissions for the folders involved and security permissions for all Adobe program folders (i.e. Program Files, App Data, etc.).  I have no idea how to fix this. I've tried Googling, but I can't seem to figure this out. Below is the error I am getting, which is for the JPEG folder the program itself created.  

Please see attached word documment along with screen shots.  Many thanks.

Hi Everyone.

Photoshop freezes up and will not open as normal.

Make it easier to use for people. I now need to learn this because it is hard to use. Please make it easier to use by not making it impossible to scroll around and throw off people using easier tools.   

The new 27.6 update for Photoshop is now producing a thin white line border around my layouts when increasing the viewing size above 100% in navigator. It does not appear below 100%. My graphic accelerator has never produced this problem before.I need to be able to know if that is from my layout sizing or simply a bug in the system.

부업으로 SNS 광고 시안 작업을 받고 있는데요, 미드저니로 초안 뽑고 나서 클라이언트가 얼굴 표정이나 배경 소품만 바꿔달라고 할 때마다 통째로 재생성하다 보니 톤이 계속 틀어지는 것 같아요.최근엔 확대해서 인쇄용으로 넘겼더니 화질 깨진다고 반려까지 당했거든요. 본업 있어서 시간도 빠듯한데, 특정 부분만 자연스럽게 고치면서 해상도도 안 깨지고, 나중에 저작권 문제로 발목 잡히지 않을 방법이 있을까요? 실무에서 다들 어떻게 처리하시는지 궁금해요.

The generative AI in Photoshop is still the worst in the industry at the highest price.  Is Adobe doing anything with all the generative credit money to actually make a product that is good for photo editing?I am at the point where I would be OK with the generative credit thing if it actually generated what I needed, but paying credits, and then money for more credits, to get unusable slop is not acceptable from any angle, financial, moral, customer satisfaction…. take your pick.Is there anything in the works to prevent credits from being used when the AI generates something that goes completely against the prompt and/or is completely unusable for the picture in question?In the span of about 5 minutes I used 120 of my 250 credits making things that I just deleted immediately because they were unusable. Why should I have to pay or lose credits for that?Here is a comparison of the output of a picture that I needed to edit quickly for an obituary and that I could not spend a lot of time o

Hi everyone,I’m exploring ways to help artists and beginners get past the blank-canvas problem when practicing in Photoshop.I built a small tool called Drawing Prompt Generator. It creates specific drawing ideas, offers timed challenges, and can optionally provide an AI reference image:https://www.drawingpromptgenerator.com/For Photoshop practice, what makes a prompt most useful to you: the subject, action, setting, art style, or time limit? Do you prefer starting from text only, or having a visual reference as well?I’d appreciate feedback from other artists and Photoshop learners.

The elliptical marquee tool, the object selection tool, the remove tool, the eraser tool and the stamp tool don't get rid of paint. I have read about all the correct settings for each on the internet and nothing helps. I read about caps lock. I read about looking back through history only my history doesn't go back that far. I have tried removal and generative stuff. Nothing gets rid of the accidental paint. Nothing.

Evening everyone,When I select a colour with the colour picker, rather than the colour going into the primary slot, it goes into the secondary slot, and for the life of me I can't find out how to change it back.Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks,Sam

Yesterday I was still using my Photoshop just fine. But without knowing the cause, today I can't generate images from AI Gemini or Flux. I can generate images from Firefly, but it's very slow and I have to try several times to get it working. Are you experiencing the same thing? Is there maintenance going on? Or is this purely an error in the application and my device itself? Please help me.

As mention in a post yesterday I have an issue with Photoshop not opening files from Lightroom, I get a Disk Error message every time. I’ve run First Aid on all my disks and all appear fine. None of the things I’ve tried, or have been suggested to me, have fixed this. The final option suggested is to uninstall and reinstall, however there lies another problem.As instructed I opened Adobe Desktop and went to my apps. The step is to click More Options with the three dots … but the only item in the list, as you’ll see from the screenshot, is to add the mobile app. No ‘uninstall’. The same is true for Lightroom.Is there another way around this or do I have to uninstall through my Finder - Applications? 

I am trying to add the latest version (27) to my Explorer context menu.  Right now it only shows older versions and I have to go the Creative Cloud to startup V27.   I tried to “Add a New Program” but I can’t find the executable in the normal places (C:\Program Files) -- just the older ones.  I am googling and finding only out-of-date info.I think all I need is the file location of the V27 executable unless there is an easier way.  My end goal is to make it so double clicking on the .jpg file puts me into the latest version rather an old one.  

Can anyone running Photoshop 2026 v27.8 (Release) on macOS please test the following?Create a new Action. Click Record. Choose File → Export → Export As... Stop recording.Does Photoshop record an "Export As" step in the Action, or is no step recorded?On my system, the recorder is active (red Record button is on), but no Action step is created for Export As.Other actions (for example, creating a new layer or placing an embedded file) record correctly, so the Actions recorder itself appears to be working.I'm simply trying to determine whether this is:expected behaviour, a limitation of Export As, a Photoshop 2026 v27.8 issue, or something specific to my installation.I'd appreciate it if anyone running the same version could try this quick test and report the result.

I just used the web application of Photoshop for the first time and played around a little bit with the facial expression changer of Nano Banana Pro. Which is honestly quite fun, I have to admit.However, the issue I had was that after generating a couple of different variations of my prompt and subsequently selecting one of them as my favorite, the web app simply deleted all my other variants—even though I used my credits for them. And since this was my first time with the web app's UI, I didn't even notice immediately. I only realized it after a few more prompts and throwing a couple hundred credits down the drain, only to keep three different Photoshop layers in the end…After consulting the web app's integrated AI assistant, it told me that all generated variants would be available in my document through the contextual taskbar. Which, of course, they are not. So I would really like to know if anyone else has experienced the same problem?And for everyone who wants to use the Nano Bana

When I edit a session for a client, I usually do it from my computer. I wanted to store the files to cloud documents as well just until I finish that session. Then I would remove from cloud and back up with my usual 3,2,1. However when I choose "Save As" and back it up to my computer, the option to save to cloud is greyed out. Is it possible to save my work to my computer and cloud documents as well? These are JPEG files. Working on PS latest version on a MAC
