Hover layer bounds is now in Photoshop beta!

Hi Photoshop beta friends!   We have just added a new feature for the Move tool called "Hover layer bounds" to the Photoshop beta, and it is available to you now!   What does it do? This new feature adds the ability to mouse over an object on your canvas and show an outline of that layer. Additionally the corresponding layer will be highlighted in the layers panel. It also has additional function with layers with masks that display both the shown and hidden pixel data.   Hover layer bounds also works in the reverse direction as you mouse over layers in the Layers panel.   Hover layer bounds is very customizable; You can customize the color, thickness, and the Layers panel highlight color in Preferences > Guides, Grid & Slices and customize the behavior in the new Move tool gear menu in the Options bar.   We would love for you to give hover layer bounds a try! Please let us know what you think and how we could make improvements to this f

Remove Related Elements (AKA Project Trace Erase) extends the Remove Tool beyond the selected object to clean up the evidence it was ever there—removing shadows, reflections, footprints, splashes, fluid ripples/wakes, lens flare, smoke, steam, and more —for a cleaner, more natural result. This feature is in the public beta as of the October 1, 2026 beta release.Simply brush over the object you want to remove using the Remove Tool. When Remove Related Elements is enabled, Photoshop will automatically find and remove the traces of that object through-out the image. This helps create a more complete and realistic result without requiring separate steps or additional cleanup. Remove Related Elements option in the Remove ToolHow to:Select the Remove Tool from the Tool Bar In the Contextual Task Bar, click on the "Selected Area" drop-down then choose the "Related elements" button. Brush over the object or person you want to remove. (Do NOT brush over just the smoke, shadow, flare etc.) T

Faster PSD/PSB Save is now in Photoshop beta!

Faster PSD/PSB Save — Now in Photoshop Betaby the Photoshop TeamSince around July we've had multithreaded PSD/PSB opening, so hopefully you've already noticed files opening faster.Today's beta build (Oct 1, m.3694) adds the other half: multithreaded PSD/PSB saving, which is ON by default and speeds up saving for PSD and PSB files.With this enabled, PSD/PSB files that meet certain complexity criteria may be written in parallel (multi-threaded) when saving. In those cases, you should see faster save times, particularly for large files where there is enough work to benefit from parallel processing.⚠️ Avoid Data LossUse Save As when saving so you're working with a copy while you're testing this. If anything goes wrong, better it happens to a copy than your original file. What changedSignificant reduction in save time for many PSD and PSB files. Speed gains depend on file complexity (compression type, bit depth, layers/channels, document content) and hardware (lower end machines with 16GB

Aprimoramento generativo

Olá, pessoal! Mais alguém percebeu uma queda na qualidade do Aprimoramento Generativo do Photoshop Beta nos últimos dias? Uso bastante essa ferramenta e, até cerca de uma semana atrás, os resultados estavam muito bons, naturais e realistas. Porém, recentemente percebi que as imagens estão ficando mais artificiais e excessivamente processadas, algumas vezes nem parece que foi aplicado o aprimoramento. Em alguns casos, o resultado lembra aplicativos como o Remini: a imagem fica com aspecto de pintura a óleo, principalmente o cabelo, mas é fácil perceber que houve um aprimoramento por IA. Principalmente na pele, rosto e pequenos detalhes, o resultado parece mais artificial do que antes. Gostaria de saber se mais alguém está percebendo essa mudança ou se pode ter ocorrido alguma atualização recente no Aprimoramento Generativo. Os resultados anteriores, na minha opinião, estavam muito mais naturais e fotográficos.

Firefly Fill & Expand - awful results - 27.12 release

Hi Team, the new FF gen fill and expand is now producing awful results even when trying to add extra pixels/height in a (simplish) yellow/gold background with a slight gradient. see example attached - trying to continue the image to fill in the selected area...the 6 results are terrible and no where near what is desired. This was seamless before and never encountered until yesterday. Has it changed? is there a new version of this? if so then its not working correctly at all and needs to be reviewed. have had zero issues with this in the past year or so and its become a major part of my workflow. can someone please advise as to how and why this happening all of a sudden. any help appreciated - thanks very much,

Open an image, go to Edit> Replace Sky, and the sky is replaced, but no window opens up to choose a sky, and the app freezes, and you have to press Escape to get back into the app.

Photoshop crashes upon bringing a layer to the front or bringing it forward repeatedly.Open for Voting

For the last week or two, basically every time I am in a project and I try to bring a layer to the front using the bracket shortcuts, Photoshop will crash immediately. Photoshop also is not recognizing that it is crashing - it is terminating immediately and providing me with no recovery file - and I do have that toggled on. Very frustrating as this is something I do often out of muscle memory, so I can easily lose lots of progress.

P: Sky Replacement menu (skies do not brighten using slider but all other slider functions are reliably working)Released

Photoshop Beta 27.9 - When invoking the Sky Replacement module (Edit > Sky Replacement) the brightness slider is not functional, although it moves freely, there is no visible change in the preview, nor is any brightness to the sky visible when applied. All other slider functions within the Sky Replacement panel function normally. The same feature (sky replacement brightness slider) works normally in non-beta version of Photoshop v 27.8.

P: I can only get Generate Image to work with the latest Firefly Fill modelIn Development

I can only get Generate Image to work with the latest Firefly Fill model. Not with any of the partner models (Win 11 desktop and laptop - the former running only the most current Ps production rel. 27.6 and the latter running only the latest Ps beta - not both on the same machine). Also, after trying to use reference image with a partner model it’s impossible to delete or remove the downloaded reference image. The trash can icon in the ref image dialog box doesn’t delete or eliminate the downloaded ref image. I’ve tried with multiple different base and reference images. And, I’ve tried by writing a prompt 1st (then the Generate button grays out) or making the selection and trying to establish object only and place in the selected area then choose the partner model. Neither approach works. It only works with the latest Firefly model - no partner models and I prefer working with Gemini and having the flexibility to use prompts.

"Something went wrong, please try again later" - Generate Image error v25.9

A "Something went wrong, please try again later" error is generated every time a generate image prompt is used (both writing in my own prompt, or selecting a pre-made photoshop prompt, as well as writing in the tutorial one, word for word'). It loads for a couple of seconds before giving a "Something went wrong, please try again later" message with no additional context. This is also the case with generative images in a selected field, and 'generative expand' in the cropping function. Photoshop beta v25.9. Running on MacOS Ventura V13.5. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but this has not affected anything.
