Photoshop 26.1 Windows 19045.3324   Step 1: Open a test image Step 2: Make a small selection with the polyganal lasso tool. Step 3: Click Generative Fill, then click Generate   Expected result: The mask for the resulting Generative Fill layer should match the original selection   Actual result: The mask for the resulting Generative Fill layer expands to be larger than the original selection in an octagon shape with feathered edges.  

After cropping out the layer outside of the original image, GE should fill in the blanks.It is telling me to drag out the canvas first but I’ve already done so.I attached a screenshot. 

Photoshop version: 26.11.0 ("up to date" according to Creative Cloud app) System: macOS Tahoe 26.0.1   Steps to reproduce: Open a new document, make some edit, close the document (CMD+W). In the dialog that opens and asks if you want to save, don't save or cancel, try to use the tab key to switch to the discard option. It doesn't work. The only way to discard unsaved changes is to use the mouse.   Expected behavior: Tab key should switch between every available option in dialogs, so you can press spacebar to choose that option.   The same behavior is seen in other dialogs, such as when trying to do something that would cancel an open action (e.g. editing a text box). Tab key just removes focus from any option and it never comes back. Only escape key (cancel) and return (choose the default option) work.

GPU not utilized during layer move — 200% CPU on M3 Max (macOS Tahoe)System infoPhotoshop version: 2026 (latest)OS: macOS TahoeHardware: MacBook Pro M3 Max Issue descriptionWhen moving a layer using the Move tool, Photoshop uses 200%+ CPU while GPU utilization remains at approximately 1%. This causes severe performance degradation and makes the application feel unresponsive during basic layer operations. The GPU is recognized by Photoshop but is not being utilized for compositing or rendering during layer movement. Steps to reproduce1. Open any document in Photoshop 20262. Select a layer and use the Move tool to drag it3. Monitor CPU and GPU usage via Activity Monitor — CPU spikes to 200%+, GPU stays at ~1% Expected behaviorGPU should handle layer compositing and rendering during move operations, keeping CPU usage at a reasonable level. Actual behaviorAll rendering is offloaded to the CPU. The M3 Max GPU (which has 40 GPU cores) is almost completely idle. This appears to be a Metal/GPU

I'm experiencing an error, specifically with screenshots taken on my iPhone 16 Pro with the new "HDR" screenshots option enabled in the iOS 26 settings (General > Screen Capture > HDR)   I'll attach an example screenshot HEIC file, as you can see it causes the same error as OP. If you can't reproduce with it I can attach system info and try some other troubleshooting.   The setting:    Error box. It happens in both the Photoshop beta (27.0.0 20250921.m.3233 a60f1d2 x64 (beta, PublicBeta)) and stable (26.10.0 20250811.r.7 595d3a6 x64 (final, Release))   The error does not occur with HEIC images that were taken with the camera for me, only screenshots it seems. And only the HDR screenshots, because otherwise they're taken as PNGs.   Also importantly, Windows explorer will not show a thumbnail preview of the HEIC files that cause an error in Photoshop (but will show thumbnails of "working" HEIC files like the ones from the camera I mentioned). So I th

Sometimes, and seemingly at random, Hue Sat layers will become blank (no UI) until I restart Photoshop. Unfortunately it only happens after having the program open for quite a while and I cannot at all tell what triggers it or how to reproduce. Let me know if there’s any sort of diagnostic I can provide, though. SysInfo and screenshot of what I’m talking about attached.

In the Dutch version of Photoshop 2026 on macOS, there is a confusing translation in the Actions panel.When you open “Handelingsopties” (Action Options) for an action and assign a Function Key shortcut, you can enable two modifiers: “Shift” and “Opdracht”. The label “Opdracht” is currently used for the Command key modifier.In Dutch UI terminology, “opdracht” is normally read as “task/command (an instruction)” rather than as the name of a physical modifier key on the keyboard. Because of this, it is not obvious that “Opdracht” refers to the macOS Command (⌘) key. It also risks confusion with other uses of “opdracht” in the interface that refer to an action or command, not a key.I would like to request that this label be changed to something that clearly identifies the keyboard key, for example: “Command‑toets” or “Command (⌘)” This would make the meaning of the modifier consistent with how other modifier keys and the Command key itself are typically named in Dutch UI translations, and

VERSION: 27.5.0: While creating in Photoshop, if I hit CTRL + Z, it then reverts my artboard to a random save point. When I hit CTRL + Z + SHIFT, it as no effect. Essentially I can’t undo anything without starting over to a random point of my design.

I have the same problem. See attached screen-recording[Post moved by Mod]

Traping appers much larger than the set values (pixels, milimetars, points).Example if you set 0.01mm in reality trapping is much bigger (0.05 or 0.1mm) and there is a visual diffrence between when you set your units to milimetars or pixels. Earlyer versions did not have that problem.

Photoshop 27.4.0 / macOS Sequoia 15.7.4In the “New fill or adjustment layer” context menu (pictured below), the “Solid Color…” option cannot be selected by pressing “S” on the keyboard. Instead, the menu toggles between “Selective Color…” and “Threshold”.Keyboard selection is also broken for the “Gradient…” and “Pattern…” fill layers in this menu. Along with “Solid Color…”, these three options were previously at the top of the menu.The issue of menu options being disconnected from keyboard presses occurs in other menus. For example, the “Mask All Objects” option in the layer context menu cannot be focussed using the “M” key.   

In Photoshop 27.4.0 you can't multiply dimensions with Image->Canvas Size tool. There's an error "A number between 1 and 300000 is required. Closest value insterted."Division, addition, subtraction are working as before.

When I try to scale vector shapes pixel-perfectly using the Properties panel, the shape doesn’t scale correctly (see attached screenshot).Only the blue selection outline increases in size, while the shape itself remains unchanged.Even after selecting the shape, its dimensions stay the same and it doesn’t appear to scale.Photoshop 27.4.0MacOS 15.7.4

Hi,   I've been unable to use any of the generative AI functionality within Photoshop for the last 12 hours. I rely on this functionality heavily so my workflow has been severely disrupted. Is anyone else having issues? I get an error any time I try to generate anything - I've never encountered this problem before. It's not a problem with credits as I have plenty.   Thanks!

Hi - I have had enough now. Seriously. My recent files and home screen are blank (missing recent files) every single 3 days, like clockwork FOR OVER A YEAR!  I am practically demented now trying to ofix this permanently. Renaming UXP folders to either .old or ~UXP - does not work as a permanent fix. I cannot be expected to rename these folders every 3 days. I have had an agent remotely access my PC and he just did the same thing, renamed folders. I have used the Adobe clean-up tool, uninstalling Photoshop repeatedly, downloading again etc. Nothing is worklng. I do not use the Cloud to save my work, only specific folders on my PC (windows 11) There has to be a permanent fix for this, it has been going on for over a year like this and is driving me insane.  Please help with a permanent fix. My preferences are correctly set up. I am always updated to latest version. My recent files simply disappear from  the list under "Recent Files" and on the home screen when opening PS u

When I launch Photoshop, the Splash Screen shows up. Then the app opens and the Splash Screen still shows on Mission Control as an active window. If I click it, it does nothing. If Photoshop window is not minimized, it shows two Photoshop instances. This is driving me nuts! Video attached for reference.    Photoshop version 26.11.00MacOS Tahoe 26.0.1

I am also having these types of issues after the update. Pls correct this. I have tons of work to get done and I have to keep restarting PS……...Michelle

Changes to the Clarity and Dehaze adjustment effects are not reflected on the Photoshop canvas after saving.Steps:Create a document (artboards are not required). Put anything inside it and apply Adjustments → Clarity and Dehaze. Convert everything into a single Smart Object. Save it to Adobe Cloud. Reopen the Smart Object, make any change, save the Smart Object, and return to the original tab. You will see that the Clarity and Dehaze effect is no longer applied. It’s very easy to reproduce — just check it yourself 👉VIDEO  

Liquify “Disk Error” after Photoshop runs for some time (GPU enabled)I have been experiencing a “Disk Error” when using Liquify for more than one year. The issue usually occurs after Photoshop has been running for some time. If I close and restart Photoshop, Liquify works normally again for a while before the error returns.I need GPU acceleration for my workflow, so “Use Graphics Processor” cannot be disabled.Over the past year I have tried many troubleshooting methods, including updating Photoshop versions, updating Nvidia drivers, and following many solutions from forums. However, the problem still persists.System informationOld system Motherboard: Gigabyte B760 Gaming DDR4 CPU: Intel i7-12700 RAM: 64 GB Storage M.2 SSD 256 GB (Windows drive) → later replaced with 500 GB I replaced the system SSD several times I also installed an additional 500 GB M.2 SSD used only as a Scratch Disk GPUs tested GTX 1060 RTX 3050 RTX 3060 Drivers Latest Nvidia Studio Driver Troubleshooting

It will automatically fill colors using the Shape Pen tool. First, set the color not to fill, draw an object on the canvas, and then click on the background layer or image layer to automatically fill the color. It is very inconvenient for those who often use shape pen tools to pick images. This issue has been present from the PS2024 version to the PS2025 V26.6 version. We have previously reported the problem, but it has not been resolved. 用形状钢笔工具，先设置不填充颜色，在画布上画一个物体，画完再点背景图层或者图片图层，他就会自动填充颜色。对于经常用形状钢笔工具抠图的来说很是不方便。这个问题，从ps2024版到ps 2025 v26.6版本，一直存在了，之前反馈过问题，但是一直没有解决。

Summary:When a Pattern Overlay layer style is configured with "Linear Light" blending mode in Photoshop 27.2 / 27.3 and the file is saved, the blending mode is not preserved when opening the file in older Photoshop versions or the current Beta version. The blending mode automatically reverts to "Normal" instead.Steps to Reproduce:Open Photoshop 27.2 / 27.3 Create a new document with a layer Apply a Pattern Overlay layer style to the layer (Layer > Layer Style > Pattern Overlay) Set the Blending Mode of the Pattern Overlay to "Linear Light" Save the file as .PSD Open the same file in either: An older version of Photoshop (pre-27.2) The current Photoshop Beta version Expected Behavior:The Pattern Overlay layer style should maintain its "Linear Light" blending mode setting when opening the file in different Photoshop versions.Actual Behavior:The Pattern Overlay blending mode automatically changes from "Linear Light" to "Normal" when the file is opened in versions other than 27.2 /
