Photoshop

Cropping individual layers as a default option and if I want to crop the whole canvas then we should select all layers.I’m finding it difficult to follow steps for cropping a single image and feel this should be the default option when looking to crop something.

When the detailed Layers panel is open, it sometimes obscures the image I’m working on. The usual 2-finger-drag gesture to move the image on the screen doesn’t work when the Layers panel is open. Workaround is to close the Layers panel, move the image with a 2-finger drag, and then reopen the Layers panel, which isn’t an ideal workflow. Thanks for listening.

This is RBG color with Lighten Blend Mode. It disappeared with white color BG but it is visible with black color BG. What is the reason? Video also uploaded.   

This has got to do with Photoshop App Crashes when hitting the Print Button.I have 2 PCs both running Photoshop 2025 and 2026 running on Windows 11.The odd thing is I can print out a file in one PC but not on another PC. It crashes every time I hit the print button in the Print Menu.To divert but with the same problem I experienced is with a Canon Scanner which I was unable to print a perfect image as it comes out with a thick 1cm black line vertically right in the middle of the image. I had brought this to the attention of Canon and Microsoft. Canon replied that the model has no update on the driver and MS never replied. A year later… odd as it seems….. my Canon Lide 110 just sprang back to life and scanning was perfect.Now who to point the finger to. I suspect the frequent updatings on the app and windows may have an effect on this.Anyway…. this is something to probe into. regardsLong time user since PS started.

Dear Adobe Community (and especially qualified developers or support engineers),I'm experiencing severe performance issues in the latest Photoshop versions when copying or moving artboards: the application hangs for several minutes, followed by a "MOVE" process dialog that disrupts workflow entirely. This renders basic operations unreliable, and I'm now hesitant to use the feature for fear of file corruption.In Photoshop 2018, the exact same function worked flawlessly—100x smoother, with no freezes, no dialogs, and instantaneous results. Why has this regressed so dramatically in newer releases, despite ongoing updates? What specific changes (e.g., in rendering engine, memory management, or UI handling) caused this, and why hasn't it been addressed?Could someone qualified from Adobe please provide a detailed, credible response? Your users deserve transparency on this ongoing problem.I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP—IT NEVER SOLVES THE ISSUE. I ONLY WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED.Thank you.

Hi,When I click "Get More Brushes" and scroll down on Adobe.com, I can only download eight Kyle Webster brush packs. Unfortunately, "Charcoal" and "Concept," among others, are no longer available. Does anyone know how I can download and use them again? Thanks in advance.

photoshop will not open from desktop. It opens as a background process. Running Windows 11 pro.

After selecting download, the loading bar goes to 68% and doesn’t move anymore.  After pressing cancel, this message appears.

I know you didn't used to be able to extend multiple video layers at one time, but has this been updated?? I am trying to move (extend) 50+ layers in the timeline in Photoshop CC 2017, but would like to be able to highlight (shift click) all of them and extend at the same time. How is this done??

I have a new computer that is an ASUS Creative laptop with Windows 11. I cannot do anything in Photoshop upon installing the latest version of it from the Creative Cloud app. Brush strokes, shapes, fills, etc, do not ever appear. The Selection Tool does though. The artwork does appear in Animate though, which makes me believe it’s a problem with Photoshop itself. My pen is a third-party one from Amazon that doesn’t come with a driver or Bluetooth, so I cannot be paired with the computer, even though as I said it works in Animate, as well as other apps like ToonBoom and Clip Studio.  Any ideas?

Everytime when i get updates for Photoshop, all my shortcuts gets dissapeared. Is there a posibillity, to keep them in the next version? In my settings i have activated that i keep the settings from the older version and delete the last version so i have only the actual version of photoshop.

I have a terrible time seeing both the Menu and Toolbar in Photoshop.  I've edited the Interface in Preferences to Large and UI scale however, it doesn't make a whole lot of difference.  Is there any way to make it larger?Thanks

I am taking an image then increasing the canvas size.  Selecting the inverse of the original image and then using the Delete option with contents set as Content aware.  then using the generate option to generate the extended image into the increased canvas.The problem is that when I finish the generate process, it places a rounded border around the original image.  I attached my instructions that I created with all the steps and screenshots.  The last screenshot is the final product with the border that is not desired.

Hi CS6 Image Adjustments Variations.showed the result of adding red or magenta or blue etc, with a sliding scale for amount and choice of shadows midtones highlights. Great for revealing which direction to take the colour adjustments into.Used it in CS6Now I am also with 2026, its gone, go to CS6 its there.I wanted to adjust some pasted in grass that was a different colour to the existing grass, and this did so.Instead there is no tool that allows one to pipette the grasses and have Pshop match grass.Surely feeding in the RGB average of the two grasses would allow Pshop to establish the conversion, Basic fundamental stuff, but without variations I am a fish out of water.Just why remove a so useful tool ?Were folk screaming blue murder at it ?Merlin

HelloI have a problem and have been searching for a solution for a long time through social media platforms.The problem is that I want to write in Arabic in Photoshop, but the text is reversed and unreadable.I tried changing the settings in the Unified Text Engine section, However, the editing options do not appear and the following text is displayed: “Unified Text Engine replaces legacy text engines and enables advanced typographic features for international languages and scripts”I look forward to a quick and effective solution from you.Thank you.

I have been using PS since 1999 and these new versions [cursing removed] are unusable. I have spent days trying to solve erros and bugs. Why did you nuke such a well oiled software. almost every update since 2018 [cursing removed].... why is there no alternative to PS [cursing removed].   why break something that worked so well decades ago

After updating to the latest version of Photoshop, we encountered an issue where images saved from Facebook from the previous year display color distortions when opened in the program. However, images saved recently from Facebook open without any issues and display correctly.        

Hi, I’m on Windows 11. Apparently Dragging and dropping an image from a web browser stopped working with either the latest update of Photoshop or Camera Raw. I tested it with Firefox and Chrome. With Firefox, when you drag and drop an image, it doesn’t open in Photoshop but in the Camera Raw module, and with Chrome it doesn’t drop at all… Have someone experienced this issue ? I don’t think it happened in previous versions of photoshop.For example, it tried it with this image, but the same problem occurs with every other image (apparently wep images) i found on internet https://www.lyoncapitale.fr/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/1_Affiche_jazzavienne_2022_portrait-min-2.jpg

If I draw a gradient tool on a layer, it is re-editable until I do something else with some other tool. But if I click off it, and come back to it, I can’t then re-edit the gradient because the on-screen indicator doesn’t come back. If I re-click the layer mask, and use the gradient tool again, it doesn’t have the gradient tool’s indicator (the bar with two circles at either end)  on the screen, and thus if I click anywhere on the screen, it replaces it with a new one rather than letting me re-edit the existing one. It should show the bar with two circles at either end indicating the gradient when I click on the layer mask that has the gradient fill. I seem to vaguely recall there is a ‘reset tool’ option that brings it back but I can’t find it now. Can anyone help please? If you don’t know what I mean let me know and I’ll elaborate with a video but am hoping that describes it.

Since October I've been having problems starting Photoshop. I've followed most of the tutorials on this forum to solve the problem, I've updated countless times, reverted to previous versions, and deleted all Adobe data from my PC using Adobe Cleaner, but nothing works. What PC data do I need to send here so you can help me solve the problem? The application opens and stops at "measuring memory," or at other stages.
