Can I hide those useless buttons since they constantly overlap with other buttons (for example when transforming) 

I am helping a scientist use PS to analyse a specimen image. They want to select dozens of points and create a table of numbers identifying the colors (any way is fine: RGB, HEX, etc.). I can make swatches and click on individual colors then copy each one, but we have a lot of samples, so this isn't great. Is there would be a way to export swatches into a text file? Thanks!

If I export a file from Lightroom (not classic) to Photoshop and then saveas to a different folder the file saves to the same folder as the original image.  I want to keep the edited files in a different folder than all the originals.  There is nothing in the UI that says it saved in a different folder than you choose.  So later when you go look for that file and it’s not there you just assume it didn’t save.  In Classic when you saved the file in a different folder it respected your choice.

I saw someone have the same problem with personal account. I can log in, but nothing happened. I checked that I have the latest version, and my school(zju) have purchased ipad version.The version I use is the latest version PS7.4. And the device is iPad Air 11inch M2 with iPadOS 26.3.I’ve tried using VPN or not, reinstalling, different networks.

I’m not sure how it I did it, but on my old computer, whenever I set my font size to 100 pts., capital letters would measure out to 1 inch high on my project window ruler. It was nice because, 150 pts. was 1.5”, 175 pts. was 1.75”,  200 was 2”, etc. When I got my new computer, I set all my preferences to the same values, but now I have to use 72 pt. fonts to get 1” letters. I’d like to recapture the convenience of the simple calculations, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is there any indirect relation between this number [860000] & value of the colors?  

Hi everyone,I run a small WordPress site [removed] on my own and I've been designing background graphics in Photoshop. Lately I'm stuck with two issues I can't seem to fix. The graphics look great in Photoshop but once I upload them to my site they turn blurry. On top of that the file sizes are way too big and making my pages load really slow. Not sure if it's my export settings or something else. Has anyone faced this? How did you fix it?Thanks!

This thin blue lines are created by Divide Slice tool. Is it possible to hide this line once work is done?  

How to get "Reblum" in my dropdown menu?  

Please stop forcing your changes on me. I don't want to have to hold shift to resize something. I don't want to open a document in an Artboard. I don't want to have to research your reason for it and how to change it back. I want to open Photoshop and work...I dont' want to open Photoshop and discover your latestest change. Check your ego at your sandbox. I don't give two turtles about what you think is the latest and greatest.  Don't add a tool tip, don't add a banner don't add one more distraction. You're not that special. Leave legacy along, develop a solution for beta discovery. Allow those in discovery mode to discovery your latest feature. Allow those who want to work to stay in legacy mode, to work. Stop slowing me down. I don't care about you and your feature. When I do, I will. I just want to work. Some work never gets used or discovered, that's called being an artist. When you develop something worth talking about then you'll get discovered. Until then (vulgar langu

Hey, hopefully someone can help me with this but when I drag and drop webp files into photoshop now they arrive TINY visually.  They can be re-sized manually to fit the right size bit I didn’t need to do this like a week ago.  For some history, I work with a team of people doing some things with Dead By Daylight content.  I was asked to make a photoshop file with all the killer perk icons.  To do this I would drag and drop from the DBD Wiki page, it would save the image on my desktop as a webp and then I would drag and drop into PS and it would be the exact right size.  Today when I went to update the PS and add some new perks and do something cool with the images of the killers they import at like 10% of the files dimensions and I can’t for the life of me see why.  I also get a new PS popup about the color grading of the webp file that I did not used to get. Now to get it to the right size I can either re-size manually to fit the page or I can right click the the file, open in PS, I g

 Hello, I use Photoshop for professional editorial work, and Faux Italic is required in my workflow. The problem occurs specifically when I work with vertical text. In Photoshop 2025 and later, if Faux Italic is applied in vertical text layout, punctuation such as the ellipsis (…) and em dash (— / ―) becomes excessively slanted and looks broken or disconnected. Earlier versions handled this much better. Could you please let me know whether there is an official fix or workaround for this issue? This is version 22 on the left and version 26 on the right, which is the lowest version currently supported.*This post has been moved to the bulletin Photoshop eco system board by a moderator.

When I crop things move about wild like how do I stop it.  I just tried to crop and I moved up and the next thing I know I have a document that is 250" high.  Is there a setting someplace that sayswith a check box. "Don not move document background all about wildly when you try to crop. " ?

I have CS3, and have had problems with activation failure. Got told that this would do the trick: Activation or connection error when starting CS3 or Acrobat 8   "Receive a new serial number and installer  Get a new serial number and installer so you can reinstall CS3 or Acrobat 8 applications successfully. These special versions do not require activation."   I followed the instruction very carefully, yet everything is exactly the same as before, same message about activation failure. What's the catch? Do I have to say a magic word or something?   I really need to get this working, please advice.

How can I turn off the popup fom the selection tool? It is super annoying.Pleae let me know.Kind regards,René

I’m using Adobe Photoshop 27.4.0 Release on a MacBook Pro with macOS Tahoe 26.0.3. It worked good until Render a video, when I read the message. 

under Preferences/Interface, None of the color themes have any contrast on this X button I also think It would be nice if the cursor changed to the arrow as an additional indication the the button is there.

OS: Latest Windows version.Photoshop: 27.3.1GPU: RTX 5070, latest driver. When using the Symmetry Tool to draw, the mirrored side doesn’t seem to take some brush settings into account and redraws an off-looking line, but brush path and stylus pressure sensitivity is still correctly mirrored.This is always true for both vertical and horizontal symmetry, but somehow redraws a perfect looking line in the opposite corner of a Dual Axis symmetry. Same for Mandala symmetry.Right side is the OriginalTop Right is the OriginalThe only exception is the Radial symmetry which reproduces perfect looking lines. Though I’m guessing the “nice looking lines” are only rotated, not flipped/mirrored.The bad looking results get worse the smaller the pixel size of the brush is. Top Right is the OriginalMy pen input is represented by the right hand (or top right hand) side of each screenshot, using a 4px size brush (except for the horizontal example where I used a 3px brush to emphasize that pixel size matte

What has changed with the operation of the Remove tool?Usually the removal of a small skin blemish was almost instantaneous, now it takes 33.42 seconds to remove the same type of thing on a portrait.

Hello, I am experiencing a critical issue with my new Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (2026) equipped with an NVIDIA RTX 5070 (8GB).The Problem: When using the laptop screen in "Hybrid Mode", Photoshop fails to detect the GPU (shows 0 MB VRAM). This is random: sometimes it happens, and sometimes it doesn't.. Even worse, moving panels or windows causes a permanent Black Screen that forces me to manually restart the computer.Important Observations: External Display works: If I move the Photoshop window to my external tablet (Huion), the flickering and black screens disappear. The issue seems tied to the laptop's internal display/Hybrid management. Legacy Mode: The only way to prevent the crash without restarting is checking "Use Older GPU Mode" in Preferences, but performance is terrible. The only real fix: Switching the entire laptop to "dGPU Only" (Discrete Graphics) mode via Lenovo Legion Space. This is a professional workstation and I cannot rely on disabling my integrated graphics (killing

I need to get this off my chest. I’ve been a Creative Cloud subscriber since day one and have never used pirated software. However, the current stability of Adobe Photoshop is unacceptable.The program constantly freezes or crashes the moment I open it. The only plugin I am running is Pantone Connect. To the Adobe engineers: when will you start prioritizing core stability over new, flashy features? We are professionals who depend on these tools for our livelihood, and right now, the software is hindering my productivity. Has anyone else found a permanent fix for these startup hangs?Thanks.😫
