Questions

When I am making selections and using the spacebar pan tool combo, sometimes it works and other times the pan tool won't appear such that I have to drag the selection marker around the screen. It's very off on and doesn't make any sense as to why it works sometimes and not othertimes. What's really irritating about it, is you don't know the pan tool space bar function is not working, so you make a long selection thinking it's working, but go to use the pan tool and it's not there so it scrambles what you are doing ruining the selection you just made.

So on this subject, I have applied a mask and trying to mask out certain things and when the brush leaves the center of the subject, wether it be to the top or the side of the subject, the brush circle icon disappears in certain areas. Is there a way to keep this from happening or is it a software error? 

Generative background is changing my actual product.  I'm using negative promps too such as don't change or add to the product.  It is till changing the shape and adding different elements to my product.  Prompt:  "Put this charm on a card table. Use the inside of a casino as the background.  Do not change or add to the  charm."  The actual background and the table are amazing but it adds so much around the charm and someimes adds a necklace chain, a ring band. I am asking it not to change the integrity of the charm.  What am I missing or what can I do differently?

I can't change the font at all in photoshop beta - It just defults to Source sans pro reuglar

First major bug for me on the beta.  Opened them once and now won't open again.

No dice que sea indispensable por lo que entiendo que es una recomendación.Todo parece funcionar bién como en la versión anterior.Solo he detectado que cuando intento la nueva opción "Encontrar distracciones" "Personas", el ordenador se bloquea y al cabo de un rato se reinicia.En cambio "Encontrar distracciones" "Lineas y cables" funciona correctamente.Si a partir de ahora haceis versiones no compatibles dejareis a muchos usuarios bloqueados en la versiónPS 2024.-----I have a 2017 iMac 3.4Ghz 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5 4-core 48 GB of memory and with macOS Ventura13.7. which is the updated and maximum version that Mac allows me.

There are connection issues when using Lightroom Classic and then wanting to edit in Photoshop. I receive a message to re-install photoshop beta.

I play around with a lot of my nature photos improving them with AI. When I use generative fill with a prompt for say flowers or foliage, I get more normal looking plants. Granted, it takes many prompts to get something usable. When I try to use one of my own high rez photos for seeds to direct the AI to what I specifically want, it nearly always gives me some sort of mutation of the original photo. For instance, flowers will be extra large, too straight, or outright mutant flowers. This occurs even when I try to make the photo seed the exact rez of the spot I want replaced. I've tried everything size/perspective/distance, with the seed photos nature wise to get the AI to use it and not mutate the nature objects, but again, it very rarely works making the seed photo option unusable. Btw, this is true wether I use a prompt or not with the seed photo. So the question is, how come standard GF prompts give typically more natural looking normal results, but my own seed photos pret

  Don't lose access to Generative AI features in Photoshop!

Noticing we just updated to V26.0 on PS Beta, is there a summary of changes?Clearly with the version jump to solid #s has to have some significance.

My daughter is a senior in highschool. She is in her second year of Adobe classes. She was informed that she did not pass the certification test her junior year for Photoshop, and that this could keep her from graduating. Is there a way that she can retake her certification the test online? Can anyone help in this endevour?  They are stating that the video editing certification that she will take this year will be sufficient, but if she fails that test again can she retake that test? Is there only one test available per seated license, per year? 

I just updated Photoshop Beta 25.13.0 and went to save a copy of a file and the file format export list only has very few options now...tried save as and sava as a copy and there is no PNG export. What happened to all the file formats and how do we export PNGs and other formats missing from the list?

Here is an idea: why don't we leave Merge Down / Merge Visible / Flatten Image where it has always been for decades! At the bottom of the list of options. My muscle memory hurts to see somebody needlessly moved that thinking it was a good idea. Am I missing something or is this a bug? It has slowed me down by about .65% and I don't like it!   Photoshop Beta version 25.2.0  

Hola estoy usando un Photoshop version Beta en una iMac 27" con un prosesador i5 y 40 GB de memoria sistema operativo macOS Ventura 13.7.Al intentar usar la herramienta Quitar, (vi en una publicación que con ella se pueden quitar cables con facilidad) sale un mensaje de error con el siguiente texto:"No se puede utilizar la función porque se ha producido un error de inicio. Reinicie Photoshop e inténtelo de nuevo."Probe de varias maneras de reiniciar el programa pero no encientro solución.

I have both Photoshop 2024 (v25.12) and Photoshop Beta (v26.0) installed on my Windows 11 PC. Both updated to latest versions. I had created an action to change from soft brush to a logo brush (2 actions  in one group - so I can click and run any one and my brush changes accordingly). The actions seem to work very well in the PS 2024. But I get the error "The command "select' not currently available" in the Beta version only. I deleted the action in beta version and re-recorded it and yet it shows the same error. While manually I can go and select the logo brush with a 3-4 steps(select brush, select the logo brush from a group, adjust the size to 150px and press enter). So what's going on? It's not that there is any conflict of names since the same works with ease in the PS 2024 v25.12. The action to get soft brush from logo brush works very well!

Whenever I click and hold a tool icon to get an alternate tool, the flyout icons appear in a new Mac 'Space'. (See attachment showing the icons floating on their own). 

New GenFill/Expand Model in 9/9 Photoshop Desktop Beta  A test version of the Firefly Model for Generative Fill, Generative Expand, and Reference Image for GenFill in Photoshop for desktop was released to our public Beta on 9/9.The benefits users should see: better generation quality than the previous beta builds better prompt understanding compared to previous beta builds. Fix for the Opacity workflow bug (went to beta on 9/5) This reinstates the ability to use a semi-transparent mask to control the intensity of  Generative Fill variations (Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUJSIzCW5L4)or to give a photo a painterly effect (Like this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zLdLlj712Fg) Reference Image for Generative Fill improvements (more realistic shadows & scale) Please grab the latest Prerelease/Beta build and try some Gen-Fill Fun and Gen-Expand Excitement! And don't forget to rev up & revisit Reference Image.We'd love to hear your feedbac

Hi. There is a brutal difference in memory consumption when starting Photoshop, in the normal version, and in the Beta version. Mainly, in the Beta and without opening any files or editing anything, it drastically increases the amount of ram memory.In the pictures you can see the difference in consumption between one version and the other. macOS Ventura 13.6.9Adobe Photoshop 2024 25.11.0Adobe Photoshop Beta 25.13.0

Hi. Why do I get this message when I use the “Remove” tool?I guess macOS Ventura is not such an old operating system for this tool to be so slow. I am using macOS Ventura 13.6.8. Regards!

Select subject classifier model not loaded correctly 

So I opened the PS Beta today, and gave the "Generate Image" (Assuming it's powered by Firefly) feature a try. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.Prompt and settings: Results:   This seems to happen no matter what prompt I feed it, what reference image I give it, or what style I have selected.Does anyone know what's wrong here?Would be great to get this feature working properly inside PS so I don't have to generate with firefly on the web.

On my MacBook Pro (2023, Sonoma 14.6.1, Apple M2 Max) all .nef files will open in PS and PS Beta, but when attempting to then open the file in Camera Raw the notice "The ICC color profile of this document is not compatible with the Camera Raw filter. Convert the document to another profile to apply the Camera Raw filter." This happens with files from either the Nikon Z6-II and Z9.
