Photoshop (Beta)

I have a large external HDD where I keep all my photo images.  In the Photoshop (Beta) settings I've set the scratch disk to a different drive, one that is an internal SSD.  What I've noticed is that as I am editing an image after opening it from the HDD there is periodic activity on the HDD that I suspect is being done by Photoshop.  No other applications use the HDD.  The activity on the HDD seemes to be in response to some editing action I've taken.  Then it seems that about every 5 minutes or so there is HDD activity and the user interface of Photoshop stops responding for about 10 to 15 seconds.  I'd appreciate an explanation of this behavior and maybe a way to get around it.  Thanks in advance to anyone / everyone who wants to reply.  I'm running on Windows 11 with all updates installed.

Remove Workflow Improvements in Photoshop (Beta) Bring focus to your scene with new advanced Generative AI technology made specifically for seamless object removal. Original Image                      Selection                             Previous Versions                New Remove Model 1. Specialized Generative AI in Remove Tool (Beta): The Remove Tool now uses a unique, dedicated Generative AI model for superior object removal. These benefits include cleaner fills (fewer added objects) and better blending, pattern matching, and object reconstruction. Set the Remove Tool Mode in the options bar to Auto (May use Generative AI) or Generative AI On to try out this beta technology.   2. Contextual Task Bar Integration (Beta): Use the new Remove button with a selection to take advantage of the same specialized Genera

I hate this dialogbox - Years of disturbed work  ( it was gone a while - now back ! ) ( imagine batch processing of 100 files and this DB is coming up on EVERY image and needs dismissal  ) IS  there any method to clean my PS from ( maybe ) Pantone  swatches ? I never used Pantone in my life I think.I have hundreds of swatches . but nothing comes up when i search for Pantone - How to remove this crap -

Fix the bug where changes made inside a smart object aren’t saved when returning to the main composition. This is one of the most annoying bugs lately.

Issue: When selecting an area using the marquee tool, Photoshop ignores most types of user input and various deselect and tool switch attempts becoming stuck in "select" state. Photoshop Version: Beta 27.0OS Version: Windows 11 26100.6584 (24H2) Steps to reproduce:1. Open any document in PS (suddenly started having the problem in stable release initially, but noticed it persisted into beta versions as well)2. Select the marquee tool using keybind or menu3. Make a selection of any size4. Attempt to stop making a selection Expected result: Using the marquee tool, I expect to be able to left-click and hold (using a mouse) to then drag the cursor across my document to select a desired area, and to release the left-click hold to finalize the selection area without issue. Actual result: When making a selection using the marquee tool by left-clicking and holding it while dragging the cursor across an area, the program becomes nearly unresponsive and ignores the user's rele

I am gettting this error "Photoshop Beta is not yet available for devices using Apple silicon" when I try to install the PS Beta and Premier Beta apps. Is there a work around for this? Thanks!

PS Beta 26.11 IMAGE-ADJUSTMENTS-BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST not working correctly.When you click on the Brightness or Contrast slider, as you move it, it flickers instead of increasing or decreasing, and the preview is incorrect until you lift your mouse off the slider. 

I opened PS Beta after updating it and noticed my current computer which is a 2023 Macbook Pro with 64GB memory is not enough for PS Beta?  This is worrisome.  I can't buy a new computer every two years.  Will I have problems?

When using artboards, I can't seem to use camera raw or the harmonizer tool on an individual artboard. Right now, it pulls up all of the artboards.

I am using Photoshop Beta v 26.11 on my Windows 11 PC. I would like to add an object to a portion of my photo using a reference image for Generative Fill. In the past, this has been no problem. After making my selection, I simply click the reference image icon in the Generative Fill tool box that pops up and upload the image. Today, however, that icon is greyed out. I hover over the icon and it tells me that to activate this feature I need to be using Firefly Image 3 model. Fine, but I am already using that model. What is going on here and how do I fix it? Thanks!

I try to use the embroidery filter but I cant find it again. Have you removed it

If anyone can help, my photoshop filters are disabled and I am unable to enable them. They work sometimes and other times they do not. Because of this, I am unable to colorize photos. Is there anyone who would be able to help out? thanks  

Announcing Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) and Flux Kontext Pro models are now integrated into the Photoshop Desktop Generative Fill workflow (m.3236)   Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) and Flux Kontext Pro models can be used for style transfer, text editing, object modification, quick or controlled edits, and complex transformations integrated into the familiar Generative Fill workflow for creative control and non-destructive editing. When a user makes a selection, Photoshop sends the selected area for processing - the result is limited to 1k resolution. Since the models may not have the full context, there could be seams and composition limitations as a result. The models can perform better if you give a larger selection and use prompts to restrict editing. We suggest making a larger, loose selection using the Selection Brush. If you use a selection with a hard edge, we notice shifting and a hard edge on the generated pixels. Check out the following&

Gen image is cropping the output to the size of the square thumbnail that shows on the right side window after you make choices for style, comp, etc.  The active image, style and comp ref are all the same size 1024x280.  I'm using PS Beta 27.0.1.  I quit and restarted PS but problem persists. thanks for any help.

I changed my Credit month, paid for the new month but Photoshop is asking for a new payment, what's wrong?

I have received an email confirming that I can participate in the beta version of Photoshop’s new co-editing feature after signing up for the waitlist.However, I am unsure how to actually use this feature. Could you provide detailed instructions on how to access and use the live co-editing function?

After the last update, all my actions disappeared - like 30 of them. And now there are no pre-designed actions either. NOTHING THERE NOW!!

I was told by an adobe employee that the cleaner tool was the way to go with uninstallation. I used it and instead of it working it left the working app on my mac. All that seemed to change was Creative Cloud no longer acknowledges that it was ever installed. Cleaner tool also no longer recognizes its existence. So roughly 6GB are wasted on my Mac.   Please tell me how to manually delete a specific verion of photoshop beta.   This lost 6GB is in addition to every other time I recieved update failed notifications for adobe products which would also take about 4GB in hard drive space that I would not get back after succesful installs. Please tell me the manual way to do this. Install files have to go somewhere so please just tell me where. Please do not suggest the cleaner tool. Please do not suggest reformatting my computer.

Hi everyone, I can't use the Neural Filters in Photoshop. The window containing all the filters opens, but after downloading and trying to use them, I get an orange exclamation mark. The filter sliders, for example, for Depth of Field, can't be activated. I'm using the latest beta version. Deleting all filters or even uninstalling Photoshop didn't help. Do u have any idea?

Is there anything different about Nano Banana or FLUX or how they operate in generative AI in the beta version of Photoshop v. the official release?  Or are they the same? Are there new features with these models in terms of how they work?  

Hola buenas tardes ya he bajado todas las versiones de photoshop beta y no me sirve el efecto de bordado a alguien mas le pasa?
