Photoshop

Photoshop updated and when I opened it up today to work on a design all of my styles, brushes and actions are missing.  How do I find them to add them back and is there a way to prevent this from happening in the futre? 

The gradient properties window disappears when you flick the layer visibility off, the layer mask properties of the same layer remains visible regardless of layer visibility, the gradient properties should act in the same way. I noticed this when trying to match a gradient to the background of a product shot, was unable to sample the colours of background with the gradient layer hidden. Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.8.0 20260610.r.13 4081857  x64 (final, Release)Number of Launches: 106Operating System: Windows 11 64-bitVersion: 11 or greater 10.0.26200.8875System architecture: AMD CPU Family:15, Model:1, Stepping:2, AVX2, HyperThreadingPhysical processor count: 16Logical processor count: 32Processor speed: 3394 MHzBuilt-in memory: 65457 MBFree memory: 29986 MBMemory available to Photoshop: 51341 MBMemory used by Photoshop: 50 %Crash Handler: AdobeDCX Version: 9.22.0SAM SDK Version: 15.1.0ACP.local Status: - SDK Version: 5.11.0 - Core Sync Status: Reachable and compatible - Core Sync Runn

Photoshop freezes and then crashes.Expected result:The PSD file should open normally without crashing.Actual result:Photoshop becomes unresponsive and closes unexpectedly.System:Windows 11 (64-bit)Latest Photoshop version

Hey everyone! I recently purchased a new MacBook Air M3 24gb 512gb, and I’ve been loving it so far. However, I’ve encountered a frustrating issue when using Photoshop. Whenever I zoom in with the touchpad or try to move an image, it starts to stutter/jumping, which disrupts my workflow just like in this video: https://youtu.be/73ioA5zQrQQ?si=0EvmQJLf72zdcU1E Has anyone else experienced this? How can I fix this issue? Any tips or solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Recently the side panel in Path Blur went missing so I am unable to modify path blur to what I want 

I'm experiencing a serious issue when using Generative Fill in Adobe Photoshop.Whenever I use the AI Generative Fill feature, my computer suddenly powers off completely. It is not just Photoshop crashing—the entire PC shuts down instantly. After that, I cannot turn the computer back on unless I switch off the power supply or unplug the power cable for a few seconds before turning it on again.This issue only happens when I use Generative Fill. Other Photoshop features work normally. Has anyone experienced the same issue?I'm trying to determine whether this is a known compatibility issue with Photoshop's AI features, an AMD GPU driver problem, a hardware issue, or something else.If you've encountered this before, I'd really appreciate hearing what caused it and how you resolved it. Are there any recommended settings, BIOS updates, GPU driver versions, or troubleshooting steps that I should try?Thank you in advance for any suggestions or advice.

For a long time I've been using Photoshop Elements Organizer to catalog and manage my large collection of photographic images.  I'm curious to hear what application other people are using.  I'm a Windows 11 user, make extensive use of Photoshop, Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw.  While I'm generally satisfied with the PSE Organizer (2022 version),  I'm always on the lookout for a cataloging application that might be better.  Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,I created and exported a website banner in Adobe Photoshop. The image looks clear and sharp inside Photoshop and when opened locally, but after uploading it to my website, it appears slightly blurry and the colours do not look exactly the same.This is the page where the exported image is being displayed:[link removed]I exported the image in WebP format to reduce its file size and improve page-loading speed. I have also tried exporting it again at a higher quality, but the difference is still visible on the website, especially on mobile screens.Could this be related to the Photoshop colour profile, WebP export settings, image dimensions, or browser scaling?Should I convert the document to sRGB before exporting, or use a different Photoshop export option for website banners?Thanks for any guidance.

Hello! I recently noticed that when I change a setting on a brush preset it affects all my other brushes. For example, I have a pencil brush with a certain texture and transfer behaviour that has a different texture and behaviour than my pencil shader brush. If i change the texture in the pencil brush, it automatically changes this texture in my shader brush even if both settings have been locked. I then have to manually change these settings back to the the way I want it before using the brush. I am changing the brush in the preset tool bar, not just changing the brush tip. This never used to be an issue for me but now it impedes my workflow since I have to manually change all the settings every time i switch to a new brush.  If anyone has any answers, please let me know. Thank you. 

I'm using Photoshop 26.5 and every time I open the font dialog the top several lines will flicker by shifting to the left and back. Also as I scroll through the list the list will reset to the top. When I finally scroll down to the font I want and start to hover over it the list will shift I have to scroll again. It's almost unusable. I don't see this issue in illustrator or after effects. I'm running a Macbook Pro M1 Max with Sonoma.

Every file get kind of 30% opacity but opacity, type of layer and fill has normal 100% values, even when you export the file in jpg looks all right, but while you are working it looks so bad, I´ll share you some screenshots. Does anybody knos how to fix it?

App version 25.0.0Mac Mini M1MacOS Ventura 13.6Just updated few days ago to v25 and noticed that the crop tool is not working. It lets me define the crop area but when I hit "enter" to confirm the choice the image disappears.  

Need Photoshop version compatable with MAC OS Monterey 12.7.6  I recently purchased the new version of Photoshop and it won't run properly on my platform. I can't upgrade the current opedrating system.

I use Sol sans as the main sans serif font fot my compny. In the middle of a project today it started to say that it was defective. I removed it and reinstalled it to no avail. Help! 

I’ve been compositing this project for a bit and I’ve been running into problems. One of them is this blur that happens when I remove parts of the masks. I use a soft-edge brush to remove the parts of the subject. If I use the hard-edge, it will give a bizarre result. Not all of the time this happens but this is often. Can anyone help me out with this particular issue?

Hi everyone,I've been working on larger Photoshop projects recently, and I've noticed that once a file grows to dozens, or even hundreds, of layers, keeping everything organized becomes almost as challenging as the editing itself.Everyone seems to have a different workflow, so I'm curious how experienced Photoshop users handle it.Do you rely on:Layer groups and color labels? Smart Objects? Naming every layer? Layer Comps? Libraries? Keyboard shortcuts for navigation?Or is there another habit that's made a noticeable difference in your workflow?I'm interested in approaches that make projects easier to revisit weeks or even months later, especially when collaborating with others or making revisions.I'd love to hear what works best for you and whether there's a tip you wish you'd adopted much earlier.Thanks in advance!

I’ve created a script that will create a layer group from a selected layer and the group will take on the name of the selected layer. Sharing here for anyone that can use it. It’s very handy.var d = new ActionDescriptor();var r = new ActionReference();r.putClass(stringIDToTypeID("layerSection"));d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);var r1 = new ActionReference();r1.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("from"), r1);var d1 = new ActionDescriptor();d1.putString(stringIDToTypeID("name"), app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name);d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("using"), stringIDToTypeID("layerSection"), d1);executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("make"), d, DialogModes.NO); Note: For anyone who hasn’t used scripts in Photoshop you need to past the above text into a simple text file (e.g. using an app like Notepad, Notepad ++, etc.) and change the file extension tag to .jsx - load this file as a script i

When woke my imac this morning (OS 12.6.5) I found Photoshop uninstalled. I'm the only user and my bill is all paid up. My other Adobe software remains intact. It just wasn't there!I went to the CC home page and it said my other apps were up to date and that I could install PS, as though I never had before. So I did, no problem installing.   HOWEVER, 20 years worth of presets, brushes, macros and actions are all gone. That was a LOT of usability/productivity to have taken away without warning. Is there an easy retreival? What gives?

This is a followon from my original post a few years ago: https://community.adobe.com/questions-712/c2paws-files-now-being-created-with-every-document-saved-why-1165120The problem seemed to resolve itself about 24 months ago and since then, I’ve been free of this mess, but this week Photoshop updated to 27.8.0 and the .c2paws files have come back again. Every filetype I open now generates these files - tif, psd, png, jpg - you name it, they get created. Before the ‘AI’ bots reply and tell me it’s “content credentials” - no - it’s not. I turned this off three years ago and it’s been off ever since. I even toggled it back on and off today to see if that would cure it. It doesn’t. I’ve rebooted. I’ve re-installed PS 27.8.0 - nothing works. This is a plague on my machine now. I have hundreds of these files that have been created in the last few days without me noticing so now I’m having to once again run a cleanup script just to un-clutter all my project folders. 

I've been using Adobe for over 20 years, and I've encountered more issues in the past year than I did in the previous decade combined. I can’t be the only one feeling this.
