I have a PS document and there is a lower layer (Logo) and two additional layers above it with clows that I've set to Overlay. If I click the layer directly above the base layer and hit CMD-e it collapses to the base as expected. If on the otherhand, I click the top layer and do a CMD-e it collapses both layers rather than just marrying it to the immediate layer below it.

Mac Pro (2019) Running Mac OS 15.5I've installed v. 26.7 through 26.9 of the Beta and in every instance I get error messages: “Adobe Photoshop (Beta)” is damaged and can’t be opened."The application “Adobe Photoshop (Beta)” can’t be opened.   

I have noticed when using some tools, there are symbols for the various Options instead of words. For instatnce the patch tool now has little symbols instead of the words "source" and "destination." This drives me absolutely insane because those little symbols mean nothing to me, and I doubt I will ever learn them. I know I can hover over them, but that does not always seem to work either. Or if it does it takes some time. Any way I can get the words back on my taskbar?

The generative fill is no longer respecting my selections and either adding to much feathering or just expanding my selection. For example in my job I cut out a lot of number plates to blank them. Feather is set to zero. Yet it still massively expands my selection for the generative mask. This now results in unsatifactory results and is not the precision that was in previous versions. What is the point of making a selection, setting the feather to zero,  just to be ignored.  In fact further investigation. Photosho Beta 26.9.0 is ok. Photoshop 26.8.1 is awful.

Hello. I am seeking assistance. I know Photoshop Beta is only a test version. I am experiencing significant frustration and disappointment. Following a update to Photoshop Beta, I am encountering difficulties generating images using a reference picture. The background of the reference image is consistently being removed. Despite exhaustive research, I have been unable to locate an option to retain or remove the background when selecting the reference image. How do I go back and install Desktop 25.9 or 26?       Subject edited by moderator to include "reference image". Was "Photoshop beta".      

There is no Traditional action menu option when going to Window>Action.

Photoshop version: Adobe Photoshop Beta 26.9.0OS version: macOS 15.5 Step 1: Open Photoshop and create or open any document.Step 2: Set input method to Zhuyin (Bopomofo) using macOS built-in input source.Step 3: Try using any shortcut involving the ⌘ key (e.g., ⌘ + Z for Undo, ⌘ + S for Save). Expected result:Photoshop should execute the intended shortcut command without interference from the input method.Actual result:Instead of executing the shortcut, the input method is disrupted or an incorrect character/input is triggered, preventing the shortcut from working as intended.

Hello, fans of Generator plugins, including "Image Assets".  With the rise of recent "generative" features, such as "Generative Fill", we have moved the submenu for Generator plugins to avoid confusion.   File > Generate > Image Assets   is now File > Automate > Generator Plugins > Image Assets  

Hi,I've been experiencing an issue with Photoshop for several months. When using AI-powered tools like Remove Tool or Generative Fill, the generated areas often have a different color than the rest of the image, making the results unusable in many cases.I use Photoshop on two different computers, and the issue occurs on both, affecting both the stable version and the BETA version. Things I’ve tried:- Changing Photoshop settings- Disabling GPU support- Adjusting cache levels- Updating my graphics driversNone of these solutions have helped. System details:Photoshop version: Latest stable & BETA (issue persists across multiple updates)Language: PolishOperating Systems: Windows 10 & Windows 11Example of the issue:Below, you can see an example where I tried to fix an area in the top right corner. To highlight the problem, I applied the Remove Tool and Generative Fill, then slightly brightened the image.Image 1: OriginalImage 2: Edited with Remove ToolImage 3: Edited with G

Hi. In new Photoshop-Beta FireFly does not work correctly.1. When I upload reference picture - I can not write the text of prompt. And conversely - after writing prompt I can not upload reference. So, I can not use prompt and reference together. But in earlier versions of Photoshop-beta it worked.2. After uploading reference Photohop cuts out part of the image - so, the reference image does not uploading whole. 

I have previously successfully used the Photoshop > Neural Filters> Photo Restoration filter.Today I receive the following error: "We've temporarily disabled this filter because of an error."I tested Photoshop 2025, 2023, and Beta.I researched community.adobe.com and discovered multiple posts about this error dating as far back as 2021. It is now 2024.The “answer” seems to be: “Unfortunately this is a Beta feature right now, meaning there are no guarantees that this will be readily available or work all the time.”Link to community forum search results for Photo Restoration issue Question: Can anyone recommend a photo restoration application that I can use as a workaround for whenever the Photoshop > Neural Filters> Photo Restoration filter is disabled?Thank you.

Hello! Some interesting behavior started to appear for last 2 weeks. "Please check your internet connection and try again." appears every time trying generative fill. At the same time, I can easily generate image by prompt or select subject using cloud (detailed results).Screenshots of just generated background and error of generative fill linked as images. Photoshop Beta updated to latest version, creative cloud as well. PS beta 26.9.0, MacBook air m4 macOS 15.4 (24E248).  I've seen suggestions in different topics. Updating PS, restarting mac, and so on doesn't help. Firewall is turned off by default on my Mac. I've checked in activity monitor, does photoshop send and gets packets. It does.  Internet connection is stable, 30mb+. At the same time i can generate new layer, but still cant use generative fill.

Hi, I'm just trying to add some red splashes of blood to some objects, by writing 'red ink' or 'red paint' but gererative AI is replacing the objects and not adding to the current picture? How can I get it to add just to the picture and not change the object? References below

I am an active user of Adobe Photoshop Beta. I urgently need to regain access to Photoshop Beta version 26.6.Reason for my request:I actively used the Reference Image feature in version 26.6, which was perfectly suited to my professional needs.After the update, the logic of this feature has changed, and now I am unable to perform my workflows as before.My ability to use the previous implementation of the Reference Image feature directly affects my work and professional obligations.I kindly ask:Please consider restoring my access to Adobe Photoshop Beta 26.6 or provide an alternative solution that allows me to use the previous logic of the Reference Image feature.Let me know if it is possible to temporarily roll back to the required version or obtain a separate installation file.

Since updating to 26.9.0 photoshop seems to be lagging with tools, keyboard shortcuts and general use. It's still functional but definetly slowing me down and making me repeat brush strokes, keyboard shortcuts etc. Very frustrating. I've restarted my computer multiple time too. Please look into this. Thanks

How do I resolve this issue? Where are these files located and do I have to manually delete them? I'm on a Macbook. Sonoma 14.6.1 - I just noticed this happening so it makes me wonder if there is a folder somewhere with tens of gigs from over the years.

really stupid and needs to be fixed, my photo, my model my work, Trying to use AI to adjust and community guidelines, would be so call to have a allow option    [Mod: Moved to the Photoshop Beta forum]

In the most recent Beta version, you can no longer easily create an action, much less see or modify the steps in a current action. I used to make actions all the time, and as I worked with them, I would adjust how they functioned, and add or uncheck steps as I saw fit.  Now I have no idea how to do that, and believe me, I have poked around! Would be nice to have that functionality back.  Even just seeing the steps so I could learn more was useful. Additionally, it is very easy to accidentally run an action without even realizing and have to go back in history (sometimes significantly) to undo it.
