Photoshop's Select Subject feature automatically detects and selects the main object in an image, making precise selections faster and easier. It's useful for cutting out, extracting, or isolating subjects for tasks like generative fill, composites, effects, or adjustments. Remove Background simplifies background removal with a single click, masking everything except the subject. It uses your Select Subject preference to detect the main subject, then inverts and removes the background.   In April 2025, we updated Select Subject using Cloud processing. We are now working on updating the feature with DEVICE processing. We would love your help in testing and get your feedback!   Similar to the Select Subject and Remove Background Cloud Improvements, the Device improvements include: Better subject detection Exceptional detection, selection, and masking of fine details More accurate selection of edges Better detection, selection, and masking of “holes” in an image Detection,

Hello,For the past few days, I’ve been trying to use the Harmonize feature in Photoshop, but every time I do, I get the following error:"An error has occurred, please try again later"I’ve tested on multiple files and restarted Photoshop, but the issue persists.I’m currently using the latest beta version  and my app is up to date.Is anyone else experiencing this problem this week?If you have any solution or workaround, I’d really appreciate your help.Thanks in advance!

Hi, I was testing out the Harmonise feature today and can't get it to work. I click the button and wait for an eternity, then a banner appear saying service is not responding. Check your internet connection and try again. I use Bitdefender as my firewall and have added the photoshop.exe for both this and the regular photoshop to the approved list, I have also added in the complete list of fully qualified URLs and domains, and yet I still cannot get it to work PLEASE HELP 😞

I was trying to create a surrounding black border with starry glitter using the magic wand. Started with a 1920x1080 black background - increased canvas to 2000x160 px (so I could have an 80px border).Then selected the transparent border area with the magic wand clicked on "generative fill"typed in the prompt "microscopic white glitter star particles scattered on black background, 4k, high detail"clicked on "generate" - all in first image.It began the generative process (with Firefly Image3), and it progressed for 2 seconds and quit and went back to a blank "generative fill" - as if I never typed anything in! Now keeps doing that every time. - 2nd image 

Ao tentar selecionar um objeto ou pessoa, esta selecionando todo o conteudo, em qualquer situaçao, isso ocorreu depois da ultima atualizaçao, pois nao estava desta forma, espero que arrumem logo pois é uma ferramenta rapida e pratica que infelizmente nao esta tendo utilidade...

The remove tool is not doing anything... at all.All I am getting is the shortcut description.I select what I want and hit the button... and nothing.

Today we are releasing Photoshop (Beta) on the desktop 25.9 with a sneak peek at an under-construction feature; Reference Image.Reference Image for Generative Fill and Generative Expand allows you to upload an image of your choice, then Generative Fill uses the content of this visual input as a reference to influence the generated results. This means that the output takes inspiration from the content of your provided image in addition to - or - instead of your prompt. A picture is worth 1000 words!   Reference Image for Generative Fill/Expand works differently than the style-based Reference Image in Generate Image (our new beta Firefly text-to-image feature in Photoshop (Beta) on the desktop 25.9); Generate Image uses Style for references, Generative Fill & Generative Expand use Content.Follow these steps to generate variations using Reference Image: Generate an object or scene using Generative Fill or Generative Expand workflows.  Select the&nbs

Hi everyone,Since five days ago, Generative Fill has stopped working for me in Photoshop Beta (it started on version 26.9). I keep getting the error message: “There was a problem with your request. Please try again later.”I updated to the latest version (26.11), but the error is still there. I noticed something interesting: in the new version there’s an option to switch the Firefly model. If I choose Firefly 1 (2023), everything works fine. But if I use Firefly 3 (2024), I get the same error every time.Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known issue with Firefly 3, or something on my side (network, account, credits, etc.)? I’d really appreciate any advice, because I specifically need to work with the Firefly 3 model.Thanks in advance!

Hi, reference image was great to create similar backgrounds for a line of products, but now when I add the image it delete the background and only reconice the objet on it , and i can´t generate a similar bacground.... 

Since the latest Photoshop update, the Remove Tool now automatically creates a new layer for each use or segment of editing. This is a major disruption to my workflow as a professional photo retoucher. In previous versions, I could apply multiple remove edits directly to a single layer, especially when working on a blank layer with “Sample All Layers” enabled. Now, after 50+ remove strokes, I’m left with numerous layers that I have to manually collapse or merge — which is tedious, inefficient, and prone to error. I strongly urge the Photoshop team to consider adding a toggle or setting that allows users to choose whether the Remove Tool outputs to a new layer each time, or keeps all strokes on the currently active layer.While I understand the intention to promote non-destructive workflows, this new behavior doesn’t suit all professionals — especially those who need speed and precision in high-volume editing. Reintroducing user control here would greatly improve efficienc

Hi I have no access to potoshop beta on my creative cloud in all apps or in pre releases it only illustrator. The region is Georgia creative cloud is up to date  

This latest beta version of Photoshop is totally useless. When I try to use one of my actions, Photoshop completely freezes, I have to force quit & loose everything I had done previously. It happens everytime.  

My original post from a while back seems to have disappeared (or is not searchable at least).Problem: any use of the remove tool causes very long lag (10-15 sec) no matter how tiny the area covered in the remove tool stroke.The results are usable but the tool itself takes too long to use in a regular workflow. This isuue was resolved by installing the 24.7.0 beta for about an hour before it reverted back to the laggy behavior.These are the things I have tried without success:Restting preferencesReverting to previous betaHaving only the layer being worked on visibleSwitching between the two modes (commit after each stroke or not)Switching from sample all layers or not.Deactivating Native canvas and restartingGranting full disk access to Phooshop beta.Using different brush characteristics (build up or not etc)This is so furstrating as the results it returns are fantastic, just that I have to wait forever for each stroke and that is not possible in my workflow.Workaround so far is to disa

Hi There, Since last night i have not been able to use the Harmonize tool in Photoshop Beta. An error is showing with Check internet, while my internet is same as before with no changes. Please let me know.

Using 26.11.0 on Windows 11, Geforce RTX 4070.The first time I open an image and use color replacer, it works. I can change colours from, say, red to blue by either typing in a number or using the slider. When I try doing the same on another image, it freezes completely and I have to close the program using Task Manager. Opening Photoshop again, I can occassionally edit again, but more often than not the problem will occur repeatedly until I reboot the PC. I have read posts where this happened on a mac 5 years ago. I don't have Rulers enabled, I've turned off Multithreading, tried resetting as Photoshop starts and I've tried moving the window away from the image window. Nothing helps. ThanksDarren  

Hello,I am from Germany and I am communicating via a translator. I used an existing calendar page as a template in order to customize it.The top part should get a metallic effect with a Gradient Map Adjustment Layer – a bright stripe in the center that fades outward into the selected color. The issue: when I apply the Gradient Map as a Clipping Mask, it does not behave as expected. Instead of being restricted to the layer boundaries directly below, the gradient is calculated over the entire canvas and then only displayed as a cropped portion inside the clipped object. In other words: the Gradient Map ignores the clipped layer’s dimensions and always applies globally to the whole document. This prevents me from creating the intended metallic effect within the element’s boundaries.

Les points blacns, noirs et gris dans les reglages (courbes, niveaux etc...) ne marchent pas

There is some sort of bug, blocking me to use the brush, or save, anyway I still can work in the layers

Bonjour, Depuis quelques jours la fonction "remplacer l'objet" ne marche plus sur photoshop Bêta.. je voudrais remplacer un vêtement par exemple par un autre mais il me demande "passez au modèle Firefly 3" et pourtant c 'est celui-ci qui est coché... je ne comprend pas ! Quelqu'un sait de quoi il s'agit? Merci 

I'm using the 26.11 version of Photoshop (Beta), since previous versions I have experienced something annoying, when I select an adjustment layer that has text fields, for example Hue and Saturation, the first text field, in this case the Hue, is focused and I have to press ESC to remove the focus. This gets annoying because if I want to copy an adjustment layer or perform different actions with the keyboard, I have to keep pressing ESC, otherwise it won't work. For example, if I select an adjustment layer and press Ctrl+C, I'll be copying the value of the first text field in that adjustment layer, not the adjustment layer itself.
