With the new release, the zooming mechanism has changed and it always behaves as if "Zoom Clicked Point to Center" was turned on when I am using keyboard shortcut (mapped to Wacom Pen). It works as expected when I'm zooming with scroll wheel.

On my PC, "My Documents" is mapped to a network drive. Whenever the network drive is disconnected, Photoshop throws an error when trying to bring up the "Save for web" dialog box. The error is: "The operation could not be completed. The system cannot find the path specified." When I click OK on this error message popup, the popup goes away and nothing else happens. The "Save for web" dialog is not accessible. This is especially a problem when I travel with my PC and need to use Photoshop on the road, since I cannot connect to my network drive for My Documents. I understand that the system cannot find the path specified, but it shouldn't bail on the "Save for web" dialog because of it. Use a different default path. I'm not sure why it's looking for that path anyway, since it happens even when my last saved file isn't in "My Documents".

Up until Photoshop 21.1, you could select a shape path with the Path Selection Tool, copy and paste that shape into the selected shape path. I updated to to 21.1 today and the behaviour has changed. I think this must be a bug, because now no matter what you do, pasting the shape creates a new layer, it no longer pastes into the selected shape.Here's a video demonstrating this issue, the first portion shows the behaviour as it has been up until now, the second portion shows the issue introduced in 21.1.  

I've discovered a HUGE performance increase opportunity!All filters ignore artboards and use hidden "real document size" instead. This makes photoshop to technically redraw all the hidden pixels.Situation: you have 6-10 artboards with for ex. layout variations of some design (print, banner outdoor, UI, etc) each artboard has ~50-100 smart objects with some filters/raster masks/of filters. As a result, it becomes almost impossible to edit anything because PS has to redraw all the useless space hidden by artboard bounds and it takes ages!Here is a video demo (also attached to the post):https://service.crazypanda.ru/v/monosnap/2019-03-10-18-50-48-MoUt6.mp4   I think it's possible to change how artboards are rendered. Something will definitely break with that change but the win from that will be VERY big.As an alternative, I think there should be a switch in the settings: "Use old Artboards" which will make all the scripts and plugins backwards compatible. Plus you can

Photoshop 21.0 on Mac inexplicably changes the UTI (Universal Type Identifier) of PSBs, breaking Spotlight, existing Quick Look plugins, and perhaps other apps and services. Prior to PS 21.0, the UTI for Adobe Photoshop Large Document (PSB) was "com.adobe.photoshop-large-image", but in PS 21.0, it's "com.adobe.photoshop-image-large". Why the gratuitous change?SpotlightWith this change, Spotlight will no longer find files of type Adobe Photoshop Large Document (PSB) that were created by versions 20 and earlier.  This will mystify users, who won't understand why Spotlight isn't finding their files. For example, Finder shows these four files with extension .psb, two created with 21 and two created with 20 or earlier:But it finds just two files with kind Adobe Photoshop Large Document (which were created with version 21):This is because Spotlight has saved the old UTI (com.photoshop-large-image) in its index for the two older .psb files: $ mdls -name kMDItemContentType *.psbkMDItemCon

Photoshop CC 2020, Slice Tool very lag when use it. anyone have same issue or know what problem?

I'm migrating to W10, and installed Photoshop 21.0.3. It seemed to run more or less the same as on my W7 partition. So I updated to 21.1....  😕😕 Immediately I noticed issues.Firstly, Creative Cloud desktop has bloated out hideously, adding approximately double the processes and ram consumption. Lots of new features and functionality...but none I really need.Secondly, 21.1 takes about 2x the time to load, often displaying this odd bordered black image under the splash screen. (see attached)The next issue I noticed is that sliders (in the Levels, Hue & Saturation, Color Balance panels etc.) no longer live update and only apply the change in value after the mouse is released! I can't find any preference to return to previous slider behavior (including dynamic color sliders pref).  This makes Photoshop basically unusable to me now...I'm far to ingrained in my workflow.Another issue (that may only be the way Windows 10 thing) is that Photoshop consumes 1 gig mo

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/problem-with-brush-strokes-appears-to-be-stamping-not-match...Photoshop 21.0.3 As described in this thread, ever since the most recent update, bristle tip brushes will produce uneven, broken strokes like this:I've completely reinstalled photoshop and reset all preferences, so the issue seems to be entirely unrelated to any possible brush or tool settings, and appears to occur with the legacy bristle tip brushes only (however I'm not 100% sure about this, it might just be harder to tell with erodible pencil tips or the airbrush). I've been very happy with these brushes in PS so far and can only hope for continued legacy feature support in this regard, as I intend to continue using them for a long time to come.Thanks in advance for the help!

In the new Photoshop CC 2020 version, there's a bug with layer effects in groups. They seem to clip other layer effects within the group in a rectangular shape.To reproduce:- Create a new document- Create a circular shape as a new layer- Apply a stroke layer effect to the shape layer- Put that shape layer in a group- Apply a drop shadow layer effect to the group (play around with the distance value to make the effect more obvious)Result: the layer effects are cropped in a rectangular shapeI tested it in Photoshop CC 2019, it works fine there.

Hi I am on a Mac Mojave, using Photoshop 2019 (20.0.2)The auto layer select is disabled within any marquee selection. If I place the marquee to only include part of the image then the layer portion within the marquee will NOT auto layer select. I have tested this using the move tool using command+click and the auto-select layer check box. Drop down IS set to layer. The tool behaves normally when there is no active marquee selection and also breaks with the lasso selection.  

Currently, I have 30 some styles folders on my Styles palette. I like to keep all of these folders expanded so that I can quickly scroll through them and select the styles which are located in each of these folders. However, since updating to Photoshop 21.01 or 21.0.2, whenever I launch Photoshop, all of these folders are collapsed, and I have to take the time to expand them all again using the disclosure triangle. Is there some setting which will allow me to always have these styles folders already expanded each time I launch Photoshop? Thanks in advance.

I have a problem with how filtr works. I read about this problem, but I can't analisys this and understand problem. Why when I use OpenCL Smart Sharpen nothinghappen on radius 0,1? For me this is important for resize photo and sharping them.

Photoshop 21.0.2 crashes on applying color lookup adjustment layer: Apply a color lookup adjustment layer to any image. In the color lookup properties, select Abstract. Chose any value from the dropdown Save the image as jpeg. Once you click on the JPEG options window, photoshop crashes. It also creates an image of 0 bytes size

I just followed this simple tutorial: Create animated GIFs |   After saving it as PSD and opening again, I noticed that Photoshop persisted all timeline details (loop count, frame timings, etc). But looking at the Adobe Photoshop File Formats Specification I could not find any details on where that data is stored.   I analyzed the file using a hex editor and noticed that Photoshop uses some ImageResource and some AditionalLayerInfo blocks that are not documented. Maybe that's where Photoshop stores the timeline data, but still I can't read it without any specs telling me how to do it.   Here are the ImageResource blocks:   Image resource ID: 0x0FA0 - 4000 Image resource Text: "maniIRFR    8BIMAnDs   ?              null        AFStlong        FrInVlLs    Objc      &

I was playing around with the frame tool and found that there's a bug regarding the corner radius. If I change the corner radius of a live shape and click to select a frame layer, that updates its corner radius. I tried to post a gif, but apparently, the gateway is bad, so here's a dropbox link.Note: This conversation was created from a reply on: Photoshop CC 2019: Frame tool - create new frame without shoving an image in it s....

Currently, there seems to be a maximum height allowance on panels. Meaning that I can't get my Layers palette to run 100% of the height of my 1440 tall display. I'd like to not have that restriction so I can use that whole height. It's not like that space below the panels is really usable in its current form. I guess I could just have more panels open to take up the space but that adds clutter and negatively impacts the effectiveness that a taller Layers palette could provide.

There is a new PS-option Preferences -> Performance -> Advanced Settings -> Use updated GPU canvas. If you read the tooltip it says "...preference flag for MantaCanvas must also be on...."I really can't find any information about that.Does anybody know what that means?

Adobe Photoshop: 21.0.0 20191018.r.37 2019/10/18: 614690fb487  x64ScriptListener plugin is installed.After updating to 21.0.0 I see unexpected behaviour of ScriptListener - the listener's log ScriptListenerJS.log is very large and grow very quickly even I do nothing inside the Photoshop. And the log is full of the MRUFileListChanged event blocks like the following var idMRUFileListChanged = stringIDToTypeID( "MRUFileListChanged" );    var desc5980 = new ActionDescriptor();    var iddontRecord = stringIDToTypeID( "dontRecord" );    desc5980.putBoolean( iddontRecord, true );    var idforceNotify = stringIDToTypeID( "forceNotify" );    desc5980.putBoolean( idforceNotify, true );executeAction( idMRUFileListChanged, desc5980, DialogModes.NO ); Steps to reproduce Close Photoshop Clear ScriptListenerJS.log and save Run Photoshop, create document and draw something Close document without saving. Check ScriptListenerJS.log  Expected

Crop tool no side handles-- The crop tool does not have the side handles when in Classic Mode. It worked before the update of Ver. 21. And yes I do have the box checked in Preferences "Use Legacy Free Transform".

In latest version 21.01, running on Mac Pro Mojave - converting shapes to frames work while file is open, but when file is re-opened, frames made by converting shapes disappear, leaving only blank frames with no image. Layer palette shows frames with placed images, but they are gone from the image itself. Very annoying bug, as it means layout files with custom shape frames can't be revised - they're corrupted the next time you open them. Has happened consistently

When recording an Action, we should be able to use Fit Layer(s) on Screen when using Insert Menu Item...

Hi! There are two annoying bugs in latest December release of PS2020. They were present in initial release, but in PS2019 these two options worked just fine. I hope Adobe folks will address these in next release.1. In Select and Mask workspace, the Photoshop does not register/remember "Sample All Layers" for quick selection, refine tools etc. Pretty annoying as I have to click each time I am entering this workspace to quick mask anything in the picture.2. When creating adjustment layer, PS2020 always adds mask layer too, regardless of Layer Panel options>Use default masks on fill layers, which is off in my Photoshop.Thanks, 

I just installed 21.0.2 and I'm having the same issue. To reproduce:1) start a new document.2) create a small ellipse in the center of the document.3) create a group and move the ellipse layer to the group.4) move the layer mask of the ellipse shape to the group (Cmd + Shift, then click drag the layer preview image onto the group)Result:The ellipse is now masking the group which contains a fill layer, however instead of the fill layer going to the edges of the canvas, it stops at the edges of the ellipse.Side note: Why does having the path operator set to Combine Shapes "punch out" the group? I would expect Subtract Front Shape to do that, but I get the opposite expected result. Also I noticed when playing around with the Fill layer left over from the ellipse that it sometimes won't even show up when moved around the layer stack.Switching to Legacy Compositing is still a workaround. But the path operators are still behaving in the opposite manner of what one would expect.Note: Thi

I really like the update for Photoshop 2020 but it has a few small issues.When using the hotkeys to zoom it no longer uses the smooth zoom animation and also doesn't center on the view correctly. This is especially apparent when using canvas rotation as now it often zooms into the grey outside the canvas.Suggestions:-Ability to set zoom increments for mouse wheel zoom-Ability to set the transformation reference point to a finer crosshair / different crosshair design

Hey David, not sure if this is related, but the Constrain Path Dragging option is still toggling off after the Preferences window has been OK'd.Steps to repro:-select the Path Selection Tool-activate Constrain Path Dragging-go Pref/General, click OKresult: Constrain Path becomes de-activated.Note: This conversation was created from a reply on: Photoshop CC 2015: Tool shortcuts resetting to default tool (E.g.
