When trying to open Photoshop (any version) the splash screen opens as usual but when it goes away nothing happens, no background task or anthing, Photoshop completely crashes. The splash sceen always dissapears at the same mesage, roughly translated from german it says “calculating memory/storage”. The Logs look like this:[2026-08-16_14-21-10][4716][Warn] [general] We are going to deprecate hostInfo access soon.

Does anyone know why all of a sudden (it came out of nowhere, but I've been dealing with it all month) I am getting a Couldn't find background to remove when I try to use the Remove Background tool?  

I am experiencing a reproducible problem with Find Distractions → General Distractions in Photoshop.Find People and Remove Wires work normally.However, when I select General Distractions, Photoshop starts processing and then suddenly quits in the middle of the process. There is no useful error message before Photoshop closes.The issue appears to be limited specifically to General Distractions.I have the latest version of Photoshop installed and I am also using the latest NVIDIA drivers.Has anyone else experienced this? I would also appreciate it if Adobe could confirm whether this is a known issue.Below are Photoshop System Infos , and GPU and driver details. *******Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.9.1 20260803.r.1 65900e1  x64 (final, Release)Number of Launches: 516Operating System: Windows 11 64-bitVersion: 11 or greater 10.0.26200.9168System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:7, Stepping:1, AVX2, AVX-VNNI, HybridCPU(8:16), HyperThreadingPhysical processor count: 24Logical processor

I open PS and amend a photo in ACR. But when I then go to open the file in PS the photo appears all bleached out. This happens also if I open a photo in ACR and don’t amend it. I’ve looked at the colour space and they are the same. This has happened recently, within the last week as prior to this everything was working perfectly

I have been editing flowers for over a month with absolutely no problem and all of a sudden I am getting shadowing appearing when painting back in on a mask layer. The only way to avoid is to leave a large gap around the edges which is totally useless and before I could paint right up to the edges of leaves.my process is1 open photo2 overlay a texture background (using pace embedded as Jo other way currently works with my version3 Add a mask layer4 set opacity of overlay to around 40%select mask layer and paint over parts of flower I want to see - before I could go right up to edge of leaves with no problem5 select texture layer and adjust opacity until desired effectworked perfect until today and now if I go anywhere near the edges of the flower, a shadow appears outside the edge and on the background texture :(any tips on what I might have accidentally switched on would be gratefully receivedthanks in advance 

Hello,The title said it all.Steps to reproduce:1. make a document with Grayscale color mode (or convert it via Image>Mode>Grayscale)2. Add a Levels adjustment layer.​​​​​​​3. record an action of you changing the sliders on the Levels adjustment layer.4. change those values first, then try playing the action.5. Result: it does nothing! (but such an action works on an RGB Document for example).Besides that, RGB documents, for instance, allow the creation of a Levels adjustment layer with given values in a single executeaction step. that doesn’t work on Grayscale documents.

I have an Apple 27 inch Intel iMac running Mac OS 13.7.8 which is the latest version that will run on it. I was using photoshop version 27.8 and for the most part it worked fine. There were a few new features that required a newer operating system but for they were things I needed. Yesterday, it upgraded to version 27.9 and now when I launch it I receive a message that I need to upgrade the operating system to use it. I would have expected that the update would only have installed if it would run on my machine, which is what happened with Lightroom I tried to uninstall photoshop and reinstall both 27.8 and 27.7 and now I still get the message that I need to upgrade my operating system to use it. upgrading my OS isn’t an option until I can buy new hardware and that isn’t going to happen until Apple announces a new mini. is there anyway to get photoshop working again?thatks for your help,Jim 

For the past several versions of Photoshop, I’ve been experiencing a recurring problem when saving my files as PDFs. My files are specification sheets that are 8.5 x 11. Very standard.When I select Save a Copy > Photoshop PDF and save using either the High Quality Print or even Smallest File Size preset, Photoshop appears to save the PDF successfully. However, when I try to open the resulting PDF, I receive an error stating that the Page content might be truncated. All it shows is a blank white square.This has been happening consistently for the past few months and has become extremely frustrating. As a designer, PDF export is an essential part of my workflow. I regularly create PDFs for my company’s website, vendor websites, product documentation, and printing, so I need to be able to rely on Photoshop to generate valid PDF files.I’ve tried numerous troubleshooting suggestions I’ve found online and in responses to similar Adobe Community posts, including changing the PDF save setti

My Photoshop shuts down the second I open it.

I am trying to user Adobe Photoshop API to create PSD with groups, i.e. https://developer.adobe.com/firefly-services/docs/photoshop/api/photoshop-v2/, to create a PSD file programmatically. I tried to create a simple PSD with groups of layers. But even though I think I followed the API schema, I still get “An unknown error occurred” error response. For example a payload like below trying to create a PSD with one group that has 2 image layers in it. {    "image": { "source": { "url": "<GET_BACKGROUND>" } },    "edits": { "layers": [      {        "name": "group1", "type": "group_layer",        "operation": { "type": "add", "placement": { "type": "top" } },        "children": [          { "name": "source", "type": "layer",            "operation": { "type": "add", "placement": { "type": "top" } },            "image": { "source": { "url": "<Image1>" } } },          { "name": "add", "type": "layer",            "operation": { "type": "add", "placement": { "type": "top" } },     

A partial layer appears in my Photoshop image after modifying a smart object image in camera raw following the addition of a mask layer.  The new partial layer appears when I return from camera raw to Photoshop. This problem just started a few days ago.  I have tried numerous techniques like double clicking on the camera raw icon, but the problem persists.  Your solution to this problem is greatly appreciated.

Photoshop doesn’t save imported brushes, patterns, text styles, or gradient maps. They disappear after I reopen Photoshop, so I have to import them again. PS 27.4.0, Mac M1 Pro.

Photoshop version: 26.11.6 (also occurred in 26.5.0)OS: Windows 10 Home 22H2, build 19045GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 TiSTEPS TO REPRODUCE1. Make sure the setting “Use Legacy 'New Document' Interface” is disabled.2. Launch Photoshop.3. As soon as the main Photoshop window opens, but before the UI has finished initializing, immediately press Ctrl+N or click File->New. EXPECTED RESULTThe standard New Document dialog should open, not the legacy dialog. The "Use Legacy 'New Document' Interface" setting should remain disabled.ACTUAL RESULT- Both the legacy and current New Document dialogs open.- After closing the dialogs, Photoshop behaves as though "Use Legacy 'New Document' Interface" has been enabled.- This setting becomes checked and greyed out, so it cannot be changed.- All subsequent attempts to create a new document during that Photoshop session open only the legacy New Document dialog.- Restarting Photoshop restores normal behavior and the setting is once again disabled and edita

llevo bastante queriendo ediitar una foto en 360 y photoshop no me lo permite, ni los videos de premier, ya hoy en 2026 adobe deberia estar listo para el 360

The only drawing program that this happens on is photoshop, even programs not really made for drawing have a more smooth/responsive brush.When i opened up paint and just scribbled some lines in it i realized how smoother it is compared to photoshop, then i opened Clip Studio Paint and it was the same, it was way smoother than Photoshop, i can’t just ignore it at this point its too annoying and i don’t  know if this problem only affects me or its a photoshop issueThings I Tried that did not fix it: Disable GSYNC Change Scratch disks Smoothing is not even on Rolling back to older versions(Present in CS6 I tried photoshop ME7 and it did not have this issue, but its too old) Small brush, big brush, small canvas, big canvas, none of it makes a difference The MS Paint cursor is not visible because of compression but the brush stroke was following it seamlessly  

Issue summary: When I use generative fill set to firefly 5 engine, I make a selection, but the generation appears at the very edge of the selection, as though the selection is cutting off the generation. Product and version: Photoshop 27.8.0 Operating system: Mac Steps to reproduce:  Make a selection around an object or area of image right click>generative fill engine is set to firefly 5 enter “fire” into dialogue box tiny flame appears at the very edge of selection, almost appears to avoid anything I’ve selected around Expected result: a flame or fire within the boundaries of the selection, blending with the rest of the image Actual result: Before generation, selected areaafter generation; background hasn’t changed, flame appearing at edge of selection and not blended with the rest of the image 

Rotate object is like a miracle EXCEPT that it glitches out on me. After I apply the rotation, the rotated object “enhances”, and then when it’s finished it glitches out like this - rainbow bars. Using a Surface Pro 11th edition running Windows 11  version 25H2Photoshop 27.9.1 

This is using a fairly new Mac M5 Max laptop with Lightroom Classic and Photoshop installed. Everything was “normal” as of a month ago (I normally work on images in Classic, then Edit in Photoshop to print, and I’d done some prints on this system, with the latest Tahoe and Adobe software, at that point).This week, I went to make more prints, and now: Edit in Photoshop, from Classic, is “broken”: the image in Photoshop is lighter and desaturated. No way around this from the Lightroom side: any attempt at changing settings; or bypassing the direct Edit In step by saving to a JPG or TIFF; produces the same results. (I’m a color management expert, this isn’t “user error” by a novice).Next step was to try on a different system. I have a Mac M4 Max laptop that’s running the latest version of Sequoia - not updated to Tahoe - with the same current version of Photoshop and Lightroom Classic installed. Moved my external drive (images and catalog) to that system, tried it: everything works fine,

Photoshop desktop will not open files that are stored on my computer, Mac Tahoe 26.5.2. Photoshop opens but when I try to open a file it gives the spinning ball icon only. Photoshop has Full Disk Access. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled the app. Restarted the computer.

Photoshop as of yesterday started crashing on launch - Only an hour before it was working fine. uninstalling, deleting preferences, full CC clean has not fixed the issue.From what i can tell the only change in that hour span was that the Creative Cloud manager app updated camera raw. Additional Details:Photoshop version 27.7 Nvidia Drivers (Studio) are on latest version as of writing and were both before and after the update  Tried clean reinstall of these Windows updates has been checked for any missing updates and has none to offer Does anyone have a fix?Or can offer how to rollback both photoshop and camera raw to a stable version?I’m in the middle of an important project delivery and need access again. I know how to install older versions of photoshop but it seems like it’s the camera raw plugin crashing things and I don’t know how to roll that back

SECOND TIME, BUT ON A DIFFERENT COMPUTER.Today I attempted an update to PS 2026 which was probably at 27.7.  While updating it froze at 51%  with the message that it was taking an unusually long time and....  After waiting over an hour I canceled the update, closed all apps and restarted my computer.  Then tried to open PS and got this message.Also here is detail from Finder: This is on my Macbook Pro apple silicon with Tahoe 26.6.Less than a month ago the exact same thing happened on my Apple Studio and current OS.  Then, with costly outside support, I had to use CC cleaner and reload, etc with all the hassle that entails.  ADOBE:  PLEASE FIX THIS.  Otherwise how many times do I have to reload etc?QUESTION.  Do I have to use Creative Cloud Cleaner or is there a more efficient way like simply uninstalling PS and then reinstalling it.
