Question

How are we expected to pay for junk software with all of these bugs!

Sky replacement brightness doesn't work. Adjustments window is blank.

 

Tool bar on the left keeps glitching if I close photoshop which leads me to renaming file folders and deleting certain files to get it to come back.

 

Liquify doesn't work half the time.

 

Get the "can't write new document...." or whatever.

 

I have Uninstalled photoshop, and reinstalled it. Spent half a day getting my actions and plug ins back on there.

 

It worked great until all the sudden all of this stuff started happening, maybe 1.5 - 3 months ago?

 

Maybe after an update? Maybe because they won't stop trying to load more a.i. into photoshop?

 

How about give us an option to leave some of this a.i. off of our install?

 

This is absolutely killing my productivity! I have spent literally days doing "fixes" that were on Adobe and Google.

 

Nothing lasts more than one instance/use of photoshop!

 

Come on Adobe!

    There are several Feature Requests concerning disabling Generative AI in Photoshop, this one seems to have the most votes so far, so please add your vote if it would seem useful to you.
