Simply went to open Photoshop.  Intro screen came up and little blue wheel was spinning but then it just stopped, no messages, etc.  Went through various potential solutions on Adobe and on the internet.  Nothing worked. Finally uninstalled and reinstalled through Creative Cloud.  Had put it in “Run as Administrator” in trying to solve the problem.  Changed that and Photoshop ran once.  When attempting to reopen it again, it would not run.  Lightroom works.  The Beta version of PS works.

Hello,I am experiencing a serious issue in Photoshop that makes normal work almost impossible.Description of the problemWhen I use the Spacebar to temporarily activate the Hand Tool and move the canvas, Photoshop appears to record the mouse movement. After I release the spacebar and click with any tool (Brush, Lasso, Selection tools, etc.), Photoshop repeats the exact trajectory of the mouse movement that occurred while the spacebar was held.For example: I hold the Spacebar to pan the canvas. I move the canvas with the mouse. I release the Spacebar. I click with another tool. Instead of performing a normal action, Photoshop recreates the exact path of the mouse movement made during the canvas pan.The issue occurs with all tools, not only with the Brush tool.Important details The problem happens only after using the Spacebar (Hand Tool). Photoshop reproduces the exact mouse movement trajectory. The issue started recently; previously everything worked correctly. Reinstalling

Since PS introduced the new 2026 Actions panel I cannot find a way to remove a stop.My actions were created years ago where there was a checkbox besides every step to include a stop or not. I had usually a stop checked, especially with save and close … in order to decide where I want it to be saved to.But using an action as a batch from Bridge I don’t want the stop to avoid to selecting location, etc every time. I want it to go without intreruption, saving (and closing) to the location determined in Bridge > Photoshop >Batch > select folder.In the past I just opened the first image in PS and unchecked the stop in the action. This allowed the selected location in Bridge Batch processing to override the original location in the actionNow, in the new actions pallet I cannot find a way to uncheck the stop that’s in my action and in general … to make Bridge Batch settings to override..Anyone, please!Thanks

How do you crop a single layer in Photoshop?That’s all I want to do. I have a series of images all laid out on my board, I want to crop a single photo of those 10 photos to fit in my grid better. That’s it. I want to crop. I want to select a single layer, and crop it. 

     My Photoshop 2024 was tweaked to include some important steps I wished to include when I set up the “Automate Batch” to save my original tiff and/or jpeg processes files back to their original locations.    When Photoshop 2025 became available, I check with support and was assured that all the little tweak regarding saving files would be transferred from the 2024 version to the 2025 version.  All three attempts, to install 2025 version FAILED to transfer the tweaks I am so pleased to have in my 2024 version.    My assumption is that when version 2026 comes out that it will have been improved and I would very much like to try it out.    However I am wondering if I can delete my 2025 version from my computer and try to update to 2026 from my 2024 version and not from the non-functional 2025 version that currently resides “unused” on my computer.   The BIG question!!!!   Can I update directly from verion 2024 to version 2026 (without going through version 2025)  OR am I stuck with us

Text editing workflow on mobileHas anyone else run into the canvas jumping around when switching between text layers in Photoshop on iPad?I came across a recent discussion about this and it made me curious about how others handle quick text-heavy designs on mobile.For simple thumbnails, posters, and typography work, I've also been experimenting with PixelLab text on pictures as a lightweight alternative when I don't need the full Photoshop workflow.I'm interested in hearing what other mobile designers use for quick text-based edits.

Looking for new graphics card.With the most recent update of Photoshop, I can no longer select 'device' with my 12GB graphics card. Looking at the ASUS Radeon RX 9070 Prime OC Graphics Card (16 GB). Anyone with experience with this card? Thanks for any suggestions.EditCheck for similar questions 

This needs a little context, I apologise in advance. I've been using Photoshop without issue since I upgraded my PC in February, but about 2 weeks ago, Creative Cloud changed my default install location from my D: drive to my C: drive, and when I went to launch the program, it re-installed Photoshop on my C: drive instead, wiping everything I had on my D: drive (brushes, presets, plugins, preferences, etc). There was no option to restore what had been overwritten, so I uninstalled from my C: drive and reinstalled it back to my D: drive.Ever since, I have been having HORRIBLE stuttering/freezing/lagging, particularly when I zoom in/out or while I'm painting with a brush. I've never had this happen before, even before I upgraded my PC. As this is a fresh install, I have no idea what could be causing this? I do notice in scratch disks, it still lists the C: drive as the startup drive. Could this be contributing to the issue?PC specs: Windows 11, 32GB RAM (sits at ~70% usage with all my pr

Is there a career path at Adobe for experienced product power users and domain experts without a coding background? I have 10+ years of real-world experience working professionally with Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and photography workflows. Over the years, I have identified many real-world workflow gaps, user problems, feature opportunities, and ideas that could improve Adobe products. I am also interested in contributing through product thinking, feature concepts, workflow analysis, user feedback, testing, and PRD-style product proposals. However, I do not come from an engineering or coding background. Does Adobe hire or work with experienced industry professionals like this who can contribute to product discovery, workflow improvement, feature development, UX research, product testing, or customer insights? If yes, which Adobe roles or teams would be the best fit for someone with this type of real-world product expertise? It would also be great if Adobe had a pathway where long-time

After update, the action is just one point in the history.I can't see all the steps.Often, I only need to undo one or a few steps, not the entire action.How can I change this?

How do I fix Camera Raw Masking Select People 

Photoshop 2026 will not open.  It starts to boot but then just disappears/crashes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.  I have tried starting and holding ctrl/alt/shift.  I have tried closing all the adobe related programs in Task Manager.  This is infuriating while trying to work with clients.   Can anybody shine any light on this for me?

Went to update a plugin for Photoshop via ccx file apparently managed through Unified Plugin Installer Agent through Creative Cloud.  It would not install.  Tried all the remedies I could find listed.  Nothing worked.  Attempted running the UPIA from the command line and it returned a -410! error/status message.  Of course, searching for some insights online turned up nothing.  The supposed alternative is to uninstall everything and reinstall everything.  An absolutely ridiculous approach on many different levels.  Curious if anyone has any ideas about what might be able to address this problem.  As it stands now, I have a commercial plug in I can’t use.  Considering all the other problems and indifference to customers that Adobe has demonstrated over the last few years, seems that if I am going to have to start over ever quarter with software that is not only invasive but constantly being updated an alternative should be pursued.  I have used PS since the 90’s.  Would hate to change f

For some reason every time I open photoshop there is a weird yellow/tan filter over everything, not just the image, but it doesn't actually apply to the image when I export. Attached is a screenshot of what a blank white image appears as in photoshop and the same image as a png. As you can see it appears tan for some reason, is there a reason for this? Is there a solution for this?

When sampling an area with the clone stamp tool, upon clicking where you want to paint with the cursor, it automatically creates a paint line between sample and cursor. Sometimes the link isn’t even logical it’s just crazy and random and all over the place. Reset app, updated photoshop, reset clone stamp tool, reset preferences. I got a “scratch disk full” message once when opening so I deleted a bunch of stuff and it still has the issue.  

Drawing and Painting in recent versions of Photoshop is ABSOLUTE Nightmare. What did you do to this software?!I have favourite Initial direction based brush which I worked with for years and I can not use it. Every each stroke it gives random brush angle and you have to redo each stroke every time you got wrong line which makes painting FRUSTRATING experience. Ok so you are lucky enough that you have some older version before ad0be remove it from CC. Version 2022 - cool, but when you hit key B and E while drawing then sometimes photoshop don’t record that key is pressed and when you expend to put a stroke you erase it and vice versa. Besides quick flipping canvas horizontal don’t center it and you have to pan canvas all the time.OK so you back to newest 26.x  or 27.x versions out of frustration. You set up for brush smoothing 0. Initial direction works a bit better, you get much less random angle for first stroke, but as soon as you start using for example Lazy Nezumi addom to draw wit

Usually, RAM affects multitasking and large Photoshop files, while SSD affects loading, saving, and Scratch Disk performance.Which One Should You Upgrade? Photoshop slows down with large PSD files or many layers: Upgrade RAM. Files and Photoshop take a long time to open or save: Upgrade to an SSD, preferably NVMe. You run Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, and other apps together: More RAM can help. You want a balanced creative workstation: Consider 32GB DDR5 RAM + NVMe SSD. RAM vs. SSD for PhotoshopRAM = Active workspaceHelps Photoshop handle large files, layers, filters, and multitasking.SSD = Fast storageHelps with application loading, file transfers, saving, and Scratch Disk operations.For graphic designers, the best solution is often not RAM vs. SSD—it is having enough RAM combined with fast storage.If you're upgrading a creative workstation, first identify whether your bottleneck is memory capacity or storage speed.

Recenlty my Photoshop tool icons simply do not appear on the toolbar. they function fine but it is troublesome to find the right tool. The only way I could solve this is to reinstall photoshop but I cannot possibly do that every day.

New update yesterday and new problem... After yesterday's update, I opened Creative Cloud for a plging I wanted to uninstall and surprise! half of the Plugings are missing!!! The PC is newly formatted, all clean installation, and now, PS update and again with problems. You will have to look a little more at what they do with the updates and how they manage the information and preferences we have, we can not waste the time fixing problems that should not occur, put a little more love, simulate the updates, I do not know, do something, I´m wasting too many hours.
