Any action with an "Open" command inserted into it gives an error at the "Open" command when played in PS CC 2020. The error says "Could not complete the command because of a program error." It even occurs if I delete the old command and insert a new one using PS 2020. I can work around it by closing the error message, opening the file manually and then skipping to the next step in my action, but this is hell on workflow. I have tried it on a Mac and a PC with the same results. Does anyone know what is causing this bug or how to fix it?

Just updated to PS 2020 and went to use crop tool with golden spiral overlay and tried to roatate on Mac using shift+O and overlay will not rotate.  Any ideas on how to make it work again?

When I open a document with a Layer Group set to Knock Out (Shallow in this case), it appears to not be working (i.e., not knocking anything out), but when I simply click on the Layer Group to open Layer Styles, the knock out suddenly appears correctly. However if I then save the doc and reopen it the problem is back. Also, I frequently make Knock Out Layer Groups which contains other Knock Outs within them (i.e., punch a hole in a full-canvas Knock Out layer). These do not seem to be working either (at least not in legacy documents), although I've had limited success in rebuilding them from scratch. This is on Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave).Thank you

When working on an already tagged image and saving as, the tags field is pre-filled with the same tags as the original image. This happens in Photoshop 21.0.0 and macOS 10.14.6. Never had this behaviour before today (updated to 21.0.0 today) and in our workflow this is not preferable. Does anyone know if there is a way of turning this new feature off? 

holding option and dragging from the end of the measure tool is supposed to create an angle measure or protractor, but it just clears the measurement.  version 21.0.0 on Catalina 10.15.1

OSX Mojave german version1. just create a new action and make a new adjustment layer. 2. Then change any value of it. 3. Stop recording and activate the "dialog" for editing values of the adjustment layer in the action panel. 4. If you now run the action or make a double click on that order in the action panel you get an program errorI have many actions with dialog's for adjustment layer and they are all obsolete now.

When try open a PDF file with security settings (password) in new version 21.0.0 or 21.0.1, the application crash with "say" nothing.I tried several files, from several fonts and same happened.All PDF that I try open, are Vector PDF files created at another applications, like AI and PDF proof files from my prepress company.

I had not noticed this behavior prior to the newest release. Drop shadows on layers elsewhere in the documents are causing boxes in the top left corner, size relative to the size of the drop shadow. There is nothing in the vicinity of the box.In the sample below, the drop shadow on the text center right is causing the box. Turn off the shadow and the box goes away. There are no hidden elements on the pasteboard to the top left—the drop shadow is on that text group only.Checking Preferences>Legacy Compositing makes the problem go away, but I'd consider that a bug more than a feature.Photoshop 21.0.1Mac OS 10.15.1AMD FirePro D300 2GB

Hi thereThe shortcut Shift+LMB on a disabled layer mask enables it, and disables it if the layer mask is enabled.Enabling and disabling a layer mask using this shortcut records a new step in the history as expected."Disable Layer Mask" and "Enable Layer Mask".A single LMB on the layer mask, without the Shift pressed, enables it as well.But in this case, not using Shift but only the left mouse button, the history doesn't record "Enable Layer Mask".So, we have the following:Shift+LMB: it toggles the mask on/off - record a new step in the historyLMB: it turns the mask on - does NOT record a new step in the historyI need the history to ALWAYS record when a mask toggles on/off.Is this a bug?Is it possible to fix this problem?

It's cool that you guys added the addition to auto commit and double click to edit text but please add into tool preferences the ability to turn this off. I just downloaded photoshop 2019 and I keep accidentally editing text instead of moving it and then when I'm rotating or scaling objects it will auto commit for me when I didn't want it to.Also can you please put other things in preferences to like scaling using the shift key and other things that were changed for usability? People that have been using the program for a really long time are used to it working one way and then just changing it to the opposite is really tough to get used to. Would be very nice to have the option to turn these things on or off depending on if I want them to work a certain way.

It's crazy, i want to choose a brushes with my brush tool, and everytime i do so, photoshop switch my tool and select my erase tool or my close stamp tool. Drive me crazy, can't work! Can someone help me with this one please?M.

I am experiencing a disk error while attempting to open or save *.SGI;*.RGB;*.RGBA;*.BW image files using the SGIRGB_Win64.zip plugin downloadable from the following link: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optional-file-format-plugins.html.  This same plugin works correctly in Photoshop CC (v19.1.6) and earlier.  I have reinstalled Photoshop and have reset the preferences file by holding CTRL + ALT + SHIFT at startup, and the issue did not resolve.Jeff Arola, an Adobe Community Professional, mentioned that he tested all of the optional plugins and none of them were working.  See https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2555251.Can someone please look into this issue?  Thanks.

Since I installed Photoshop CC2019, once in a while I suffer from crashes. Apart from the question what is causing that, it is quite a nuissance, autorecover doesn't seem to work under CC2019.The first time a crash happened, Photoshop recovered the file on reopening. I changed the scratch disk from the system drive to another drive with much more free space. There is a PSAutoRecover folder there and Photoshop saves temp files as well. The folder is empty though and wenn I try to open the temp file after a crash, ist says "cannot open while the file is in use with another application" ???Am I right assuming autorecover only works from the OS system drive?I checked it also in the list of scratch disks, but as far as I can see, no revory file is dropped in the autorecover folder on the OS system drive (Windows > Users > xxxx > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Photoshop cc 2019 > Autorecover)Anyone having a clue?Thanks in advance!

Hello,I was happy when I heard that Photoshop support Color fonts, but..I  tested my OpenTypeSVG color fonts in Photoshop CC2017.0.1 and found a bug with overlapped glyphs:first and second glyph are rendered correctly, but third and all next glyphs are rendered with "small outline". As example:I think, it 's problem with incorrect background color for transparent pixels on edges of glyphs.Font used: DigitaltS-fruits: http://www.glukfonts.pl/font.php?font=DigitaltS-fruitsRegards,Grzegorz (gluk)

The rotate handles' interaction radius seem so much smaller now since the patch. You used to be able to just drag pretty much anywhere and be able to start rotating, but now after the patch I have to be relatively close to the handles in order to start rotating. Quite inconvenient because there's no reason for my cursor to do anything else when in transform mode, why restrict it?Is there any kind of setting (I couldn't find any) I can change to revert back to previous?

--------------------------------------------------- I am using Photoshop CS6 on a Mac OSX 10.6 I have situations when using Layer Styles on a Group Layer that the "Shape" for applying the Layer Styles is not proper formed and inconsistent. Could always be pilot error yet I believe this is a bug. I have created a test condition that I will walk through below that demonstrates the problem. The test image is 2 lower layers starting with a solid blue background, with a solid red layer on top (neither has any special settings). The top two Layers are a fully transparent Layer within a Group Layer set to Normal. In the Layer Styles for this Group Layer the Fill Opacity is set to 0%, knockout is set to Deep and the Transparency Shapes Layer box is unchecked. Under these conditions I would have expected the image to be solid blue as the knockout should go to the background layer as it would if the transparent Layer was standalone and not contained in a Group Layer: Selecting the full transpar

Hello, first of all the latest update is pretty awesome. There are some much wanted improvements. However I just noticed that with the reworked export as function the image settings are always reset to PNG. Previously it remembered what it was set to.And, perhaps worse, previously the default destination was always the folder the PSD was inside. Which is pretty much always where I want the files to go. Now it remembers the last destination, which is almost never where the file is supposed to go. This costs me a lot of time... an option would be fine, because I'm sure some users love the new way of handling things.

Adobe Photoshop CC 14.2.1 OSX1.- Run an action that makes a custom selection on a channel made by calculations and adds the selection as a mask to a layer. — The mask gets made as expected.2.- Use color range to select skin tones. Deselect.3.- Rerun the action that makes a custom selection on a channel made by calculations and adds the selection as a mask to a layer. — "The command make is not currently available".I have attached an image with the action steps. Record this action (on color range be on "Sampled colors" and click anywhere on the image), run on a background layer. Revert, delete the layer or open a new image an make a selection on skin tones using Color Range. Try running the action again. An error occurs, as if the Color Range dialog doesn't get updated to select the custom selection made on the action. Only way to make the action work again is manually going to Color Range again and selecting other option rather than skin tones (highlights, midtones, etc) — this is manu

In Photoshop, the "Select and Mask" feature is basically unusable. After making one or two selections, it tends to either hang or crash (although sometimes it works for several minutes/selections so this problem is not perfectly reproducible). I have made a video of the "hanging" issue at http://me.jameswilliams.s3.amazonaws.com/photoshop_select_and_mask_freeze.m4vI was also able to save a crash dump from an instance that it crashed. I can make this available upon request but it is quite large so I do not want to upload it to S3 until asked. The exception for the crash dump was Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFE649587BB (ntdll.dll) in Photoshop.exe: 0xC0000374: A heap has been corrupted (parameters: 0x00007FFE649BC6E0). occurred Troubleshooting Steps:I have tried the following.

Deselected single path points are supposed to be displayed as crosses. In my case the cross is drawn in the top-left of a document, the actual points stay invisible until I select them. If I disable GPU, path points are displayed properly, but I use GPU features a lot.CC2018 and previous versions don't have this issue. Using different GPU options, compositing engine doesn't seem to give any result.Some PS and system Info:Adobe Photoshop Version: 20.0.1 20181029.r.41 2018/010/29: 1197484  x64Operating System: Windows 10 64-bitglgpu[0].GLVersion="4.1"glgpu[0].IsIntegratedGLGPU=0glgpu[0].GLMemoryMB=6144glgpu[0].GLName="NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB"glgpu[0].GLVendor="NVIDIA Corporation"glgpu[0].GLVendorID=4318glgpu[0].GLDriverVersion="25.21.14.1722"glgpu[0].GLRectTextureSize=32768glgpu[0].GLRenderer="GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2"glgpu[0].GLRendererID=7171full system info: https://pastebin.com/Y7imjL70

The drop shadow changes distance from the object depending on the zoom level. Also, sometimes I get green or red boxes over the image that look like display problems, but then save out when I save a flattened version.

I seem to be having an issue with the Vanishing Point Filter in Photoshop CC 2019 on an iMac/Mojave system. When I resize an image to fit within the vanishing point mesh, everything is fine until I drag the image inside the mesh area. Then it's as though the image itself stays resized, but the canvas its on is still the original size. This is apparent because the grab handles for sizing the image are space way too far apart and extend beyond the actual image, making resizing within the vanishing point mesh almost impossible. Please see the following to reproduce the fault. Note, I did not have this issue in PS CC 2018, although at that time I was on High Sierra so I'm not sure which you need to look at to troubleshoot this one. It is also possible I'm doing something wrong or am missing a step. I'm following the directions in a PS tutorial for CC 2019 by Julieanne Kost on Lynda.com and it's virtually identical to the same course for CC 2018.Steps to Test Vanishing Point Filter 1. Open

I've always found it helpful to be able to drag new guides from the rulers while the Transform function is active on a layer/object. This was particularly helpful for object such as logos that have built-in white space. If I try to create guides before transforming, the guides only snap to and center based on the drawn pixels. If I do Edit > Transform, then the object's full artboard size is shown and allows for better centering and edges for snapping ruler guides to. This was always available until the recent Photoshop CC 2019 release.

I have faced a major issue after changing from PC to IOS. On a pc this problem was easy to solve, just change the keyboard language from Finnish to English alt + shift. Cant do that on IOSWith IOS nordic keyboard it is not possible to use the stamp tool rotation shortcut because we don't have bracket keys separately on our keyboard < / >. Photoshop won't allow to change this shortcut and it is affecting everyone's workflow in the nordic countries. Would it be possible to allow users from other countries who are not using the english keyboard on a mac to be able to change this shortcut. This is a major issue and is costing me time and money when I cant have a fast workflow anymore. It would be amazing if we could use , and . for changin the rotation.
