Sometimes You have a few open documents at the same time arranged in tabs.I would like a small thumbnail to appear when you hover over the tab to show you the contents of the document. It would make it so much easier to find the document you need.Also in “Open Recent” and in the “Window Menu” ListHere’s an Idea
I'm new to Mac and cannot really see the tiny thumbnail icons which PS seems to give as standard- is there a way to enlarge them. They look especially tiny on my 27 inch screen! In Win 10 there was a choice of several sizes and I always used the largest when secection an image to work on. Any suggestions? Thanks, Pete.

Hello,I have a lot of scanned CD booklets like I have no deeper experience with Photoshop and mainly use PaintShopPro for graphics but since Photoshop is included in my subscription and I found no solution with PaintShopPro I ask here..Is there a convenient and fast way to process these pictures:Load it Adjust it horizontal Crop it In the case of the booklet device it in two pages (in two new images) and save them?And the same with the back-inlay and the CD?And even better process CDs or he booklets in batch? It would be nice if someone how have deeper knowledge then me could give me some hints. Thanks Stefan Westner
Photoshop’s built in-focus stacking is currently a severe compromise for product and macro/micro photographers. It has by far the most convenient workflow in terms of editing, but also by far the worst precision among competitors. Surely Adobe would have all the resources and capability to outshine Helicon Focus and Zerene Stacker if you put your mind to it. Sadly though, focus stacking hasn’t seen any improvement in Photoshop since its inception in 2008 I believe and thus is incredibly inaccurate for complex objects, requiring a lot of manual corrections to the masks which is very time consuming. Zerene Stacker does a much (much, much...) better job of stacking complex photos, but they have their own serious drawbacks (lack of RAW support and many editing capabilities, not to mention the terribly outdated UI). Here’s a list overview of the current focus stacking situation:Focus stacking in Photoshop: * CON: the worst quality among serious competitors, inaccurate masks * PRO: best file
How do I disable this feature? I have saved a file as a copy (jpg, png, etc) and I no longer need the file. I try to close it but Photoshop locks up until I save it as a PSD file as well before I can close the file. Why does it do this? I am using Adobe Photoshop 2022.
Simply put, if I have a base image and edit it with levels and/or curves in Photoshop and then flatten or merge visible or stamp visible, the images darkens noticeably making it impossible to measure with Color Picker what the edited values actually are. This is a headache at a number of levels for my workflow. I had not noticed it previously so I don’t know if this is a recent bug or something I have only now become sensitive to. Any input would be appreciated. Mac Mini M2, Photoshop 2026 on my computer
There are vertical lines throughout an old photo I'm restoring, and I haven't figured out how to eliminate them. Ideas welcome! Apparently there's no way to add an attachment here, which renders this query useless...Ah; OK, here we go. I’m not sure if the lines were the result of a texture on the original photo, but I would like to remove them if possible.
I have to say that the results I get from generative fill in photoshop are absolutely terrible. Why is adobe including a poor quality function? Not only do the image results look unrealistic but the reults are in low resolution, so absolutely no use whatsoever to a print designer. Might be fun for someone trying out photoshop for personal use, but when I pay a lot of money for a professional application and it includes a function that is dreadful then there is big problem in my opinion. Can adobe either make functions that work to a high standard or drop the monthy subscription price to reflect how poor AI is.
Hi forum, is there an equivalent in PS to get Corner type like in Illustrator? I notice in PS there is an option to round off the corners, but I also would like to know if there's an option about making the corners of a shape chamfer or inverted round. Thank you
Could you please recommend a very experienced Photoshop teacher for private lessons? Thanks
I’ve been attempting to upscale an image today on my Windows 11 PC, and so far I’m only able to use Firefly or Topaz Bloom, but I need to be able to use Topaz Gigapixel. Normally this is a very fast process for me, but today the progress bar spends several minutes gradually filling up, and if I let it continue it was eventually giving me an error although the last couple of times I tried the progress bar went away and I didn’t see the error. I’ve never experienced this until today, and I’ve tried the option on two different machines unsuccessfully.
History used to show all the steps of your actions when played. Please bring that back. I'm constantly tweaking my actions, and I need to know whether a step has been executed when looking at the history. Especially when something needs troubleshooting because the action may have produced undesirable results.

This is occurring for me today for the first time. Firefly generative upscale will usually work, but I can’t get Topaz Gigapixel to work at all. The generative upscale menu item also occasionally will be grayed out completely, and restarting Photoshop will make it selectable again. Photoshop version: 27.6.0OS: Windows 11 25H2 26200.8457 P.S. Sorry, just realized I’m posting my reply in the beta version of Photoshop, and my issue is with the public release. Still getting used to navigating the new forums!
Revert back to the way it was. I create actions in photoshop, it makes my work easier. I don’t know what changed but now it’s added steps and I can’t see the changes while creating it. Before I could hit record action and then start doing my work, it recorded easily while working and then I hit stop when I was done. Now I have to hit the plus sign, find the step I want to take, then hit add before I can see what it will do to the photo, then hit add again for the next step...you see where I’m going with this? This updated action recording was made with more steps in it. Can we please work smarter not harder? I don’t even want to record actions now, it’s completely tedious to do especially having it be such an easy feature to use in the beginning. Please consider going back to what wasn’t broken.
I’ve noticed a frustrating change in Photoshop’s Levels adjustment tool. When using the white point eyedropper to set the white point by sampling in the image, the correction is now much more intense and immediately blows out the highlights, destroying shadow details. Previously, clicking a light but not pure white area would produce a subtle, balanced adjustment, preserving tonal range.This new behavior makes it impossible to maintain shadows while using the white point eyedropper and significantly disrupts my workflow. Is there any way to restore the previous, more forgiving behavior, or could this be addressed in a future update?
A simple request really. If there’s a linked layer, for example an tomato and a shadow, so you can move them about together amongst other images. If it gets hidden the shadow should also be hidden at the same time. It should be a simple toggle switch or icon.
First time posting here. When I open my installed programs in the windows 11 settings tab, I see two copies of Photoshop 2026 installed- 27.1.0.17 and 27.4.0.15. They are not listed in the creative cloud desktop, currently I do not have photoshop as a downloaded program there. So I try to use the windows uninstall and they will not uninstall. Next I tried the cleanup tool, and when I look through the list of programs able to be removed the only installed program able to be removed is Lightroom which I have installed and would like to keep it as it is. I just want to uninstall the duplicate programs and install photoshop once.
Subject: "Program Error" specifically with Remove Tool on Mac Studio M2 Max (but Neural Filters work)Hi everyone,I’m facing a persistent "Program Error" in Photoshop (v27.6.0) on my Mac Studio (M2 Max, 64GB RAM). The error occurs every time I use the Remove Tool (or any Replace operation) the moment I release the mouse button.The strange part:The Neural Filters work perfectly and can be downloaded/applied without issues. The same Photoshop version works flawlessly on my MacBook Air M4. The error on the Mac Studio happens even on a new, empty 8-bit RGB document.What I have already tried:Complete Clean Install: Used the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool, reinstalled on the internal Macintosh HD (it was previously on an external SSD). Preferences: Reset on launch; toggled "Stable" vs. "Faster" processing in Image Processing. GPU Settings: Deactivated "Use Graphics Processor"; tried "Basic" mode; disabled OpenCL. Folders: I noticed that ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/UXP/PluginsStorage/PHSP/27/In
In Photoshop’s Canvas Size window, I can no longer reliably use negative numbers to relatively change the canvas size. Yes, “Relative to Current Dimension” is checked. The only way around this that I’ve found so far is to change the units to inches and then back to pixels. Here is a video: I’m using version 27.6.0 in macOS 26.5.
I used DNG converter with Sony's three raw formats for the A7 V. Although the ARW files for the HQ and compressed formats are much smaller than the lossless compressed file, the DNG from the lossless compressed file is smaller than the other two. Does that make sense? Since the other two are lossy, I expected the corresponding DNGs to be smaller. Here are sizes for 3 shots of the same thing:Lossless compressed: 48.56 MB ARW → 40.95 MB DNGCompressed HQ: 34.05 MB ARW → 42.61 MB DNGCompressed: 34.33 MB ARW → 42.87 MB DNG
Please add a checkbox with option trim image or not to trim.This feature is extremely important for creative designers. At the moment there is very clumsy workaround on Mac using Rosetta and masks, but it will end soon as Apple will no longer support Rosetta apps. Here is an example of how it can be implemented:
The remove tool is not working in PS 27.6.0. I get the message “required components are being downloaded check back later”. I’ve gone to the Creative Cloud app and it shows the components are installed, I’ve deleted PS and reinstalled it, rebuilt the preference files, restarted my M1 iMac running OS 26.4.1, checked settings to use the more stable options, but nothing helps, the same message keeps popping up every time I try to click on the remove tool icon.
I’m using the Firefly workspace in Photoshop 27.6 for generating since there is the possibility to generate 4k images. This works most of the time. Now I have the problem that the generating takes forever and nothing happens. But the credits are gone of course… This should never ever happen. Credits shouldn’t be charged at the beginning of generating but when generating is finished. Just because of problems like this or you want to abort because of fixing the prompt. It is really annoying getting credits charged for nothing.
