I tried use attached photo to make a mock up PSD Add a layer and converted to smart object Place image into smart object layer and adjust to fit the frame Duplicated photo as third layer (shadow layer) and put it before the smart object layer Select the blank area in frame Select color rage → shadow → adjust to almost same as shadow Add mask to shadow layer Blend shadow layer to multiply Make shadow layer to opacity to around 25How ever, the shadow still looks not natural, any steps I missed or any good suggestions ?   

Hi Adobe Community, My name is ธนมน โสภณธนวัฒน์ (Thanamon Sophonthanawat), and I’ve been deeply curious about how artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the creative industry, especially within Adobe’s ecosystem. Over the past few years, tools like Adobe Firefly, AI-powered features in Photoshop, and intelligent automation in Illustrator have started to change not just how we design, but how we think about design itself. What used to take hours of manual effort—such as background generation, object removal, image expansion, or even concept sketching—can now be done in seconds with generative AI. This shift feels both exciting and overwhelming at the same time.On one hand, AI seems to unlock a completely new level of creativity. Designers can now experiment faster, explore more variations of an idea, and push visual boundaries without being limited by technical execution. For example, instead of spending time building complex composites manually, we can focus more on storytelling,

I am working with multiple artboards in the same document. They use Gradient Fills adjusted to each by hands based on what I see on the screen. Using Export As gives me completely different result.The difference can be easily spotted on a screenshot.I can assume the real issue is how Gradient Fill works. But still.. I m pretty sure export should be more respectful to what I see on my artboard.

Hello everyone!As of this morning, I have lost all access to AI powered tools across Photoshop, Camera Raw, and Lightroom. Every time I try to use them I am met with a persistent "Connectivity Error," despite my internet connection being perfectly stable ( I have tried to solve the issue connecting via hotspot on my phone too).I spent over 2 hours with an Adobe Live Support agent who took remote control of my laptop, performed deep clean-ups, and adjusted various settings, yet they were unable to resolve the issue. Eventually, I decided to performe a full format of my system followed by a clean installation of everything. To my shock, the problem still persists on this specific machine.The most confusing part is that I have a second less powerful laptop using the exact same Adobe account on the same network, and the AI tools there work perfectly fine. This leads me to believe that the issue isn't with my account or my ISP, but somehow tied to my main workstation. I did use a VPN briefl

When using the Generative Fill feature, I encountered the message: "We encountered a problem and currently cannot complete your request. Please try again later."

Hello,I own a genuine license for Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection and CS6.0 master collection. I am trying to activate the software on a new computer, but I receive the error message “Activation limit reached”. The issue is that I can no longer access the old computers in order to deactivate the software.Could you please reset the activation count for my license so I can use the software on my new computer?

In Photoshop 27.5 on a Mac running 26.2 when I attempt to add canvas to a photo the dialog box contains an anchor box. This anchor no longer has the arrows in all of the boxes except the center which does contain a dot. How can I get the arrows back?The anchor box used to add canvas to a photo is missing the arrows. How do I get them back 

I’m converting jpegs to webps and Saving As into a new folder.Is there a way to have Photoshop simply close the originals without asking me about them?thanks

Bonjour,J’utilise Fichier > Scripts > Processeur d’images… pour recadrer automatiquement des photos pour un usage web (largeur ou hauteur à 2500 px).Mais comment faire en sorte que les photos plus petites ne soient pas prises en compte ?Par exemple, si dans mon lot j’ai une photo qui fait 1024 px qu’il ne l’agrandisse pas à 2500 px.Merci de votre aide.

Remove Tool gives only either grey or black spot or says "could not complete your request because of a program error". I have set “More Stable” option and used “Reset tool” and closed program and installed it again. Nothing works.

I would like to report several usability issues with the Canvas Size feature in Photoshop version 27.4.When Canvas Size is used inside an action, the action runs correctly, but the Canvas Size dialog keeps the exact values recorded in the action and does not allow easy modification before applying. This makes it difficult to reuse the same action with different canvas values.In previous versions, it was easier to adjust the values when running actions that included Canvas Size.Additionally, the new Canvas Size interface feels less efficient compared to previous versions and slows down the workflow when frequent canvas adjustments are required.Another issue is that the unit settings in the Canvas Size dialog do not stay consistent. The units always reset to pixels, and I have to manually change them every time instead of keeping my preferred unit.These issues affect productivity, especially for workflows that depend on actions and repeated canvas adjustments.I hope these problems can be

Whenever I try to open a video file in Photoshop, the file just shows the blank white and gray grid background. The Timeline opens but when I push play, no image/video appears. I’m working in Photoshop 2026 v27.6. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I’ve resent all my info. I’ve even used the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool. Still no fix.

I’ve been vibe coding to create a Python app with Gemini and Claude that creates gradients that can be saved as .grd files for use in Photoshop.But when I try to import the gradients into Photoshop I get an error message that they’re not compatible with the current version of Photoshop. Neither AI has been able to resolve it, Gemini even had me opening GRD files in a HEX editor to try to figure out the problem. But no luck. Is there any guidance somewhere on how to create GRD files that Photoshop can use? 

The last thing I did was to hit the ‘generate background’ function in the actions panel, I did not try anything complicated and even got the error message when I asked for a white background!

I keep getting the orange error message stating that adobe is having trouble getting my results. 

started using the new photoshop reflection tool. it worked fine, i may have messed around with some preference tools, now all i get is a black layer when i attempt to use the reflection removal tool in photoshop. what did i do wrong? tried a variety of images . the tool seems to go through the motions with no error. just a black layer where the reflection pixels should be.

Would getting a compatible pen for my HP Omnibook X help me to use my computer in tablet mode while using Adobe Photoshop? I've turned on all the suggested settings but everything I'm seeing online seems to say that Adobe Photoshop doesn't support finger painting with a touchscreen laptop, and I'm trying to figure out whether getting a compatible pen for my computer would fix my problem.
