I'm fighting Gradient Layers in artboards for a long time now. I've posted in other's people discussions here, but PS devs don't seem to understand. Clearly they don't use their own software. - If you have multiple artboards and delete one, other gradient layers get messed up;- When your expot artboard using "Automate > Artboards to files...", gradients get messed up;- If you check "Align with layer" in the Gradient settings, and then move it using the new Gradient tool, it unchecks that setting;- When you duplicate a Artboard, gradient layer change scale and lose their "Align with layer" check;- When you create a Gradient Layer, the layer mask should be the size of the arboard, AND NOT the full canvas (this is the most ridiculous one, since the gradient only appears in the artboard that is in, why would you need a mask bigger then the artboard itself?) I recorded videos showing all the wrong behaviours that I fight with every day. I use these features everyday, and l

The print preview shows my document correctly but always print it blank, holding space to reset printer metadata reveals either a blank  page or my document way out of scale. i’ve tried resetting photoshop preferences, uninstalling and reinstalling the printer driver, restarting the print spool service, etc. Everything i could find online regarding a fix i have tried and has failed to work.  I’m using the latest microsoft surface pro with windows 11 and the latest version of photoshop, that i got and set up less than a week ago.

I have reached a breaking point with Adobe software. It is now using so much memory any time that any time I launch an application I can barely get any work done at all. The apps are slow, they lag, they stop responding. I can’t have more than one Adobe app open at a time.Even now, with InDesign sitting idle it is using 2.09 GB. And Photoshop with a file open that is 181 mb is using over 30 GB!!This started when I upgraded to Tahoe. The memory problems and slow downs were unbelieveble so I switched back to Sequoia. That seemed to ersolve the problem for a short while but it is now worse than it has ever been.Please let me know what kind f info you need from me to help with this issue. I’m posting some screen shots that might or might not be helpful--I’m just guessing because I don’t know.Please help!

I recently bought a new computer with Win 11 on it. Still setting it up and not using it yet. I’ve been using CS3 since about 2003 and love it. It does all I want/need to do these days. I have lots of keyboard shortcuts. I don’t have any desire to upgrade or use subscription or a cloud based service. I like everything on my hard drive. Is there a way for me to install CS3 on my Win 11 computer?

Hello, I have a Creative Cloud Pro plan, but I cannot see all of the partner AI models in Adobe Photoshop 27.0.0 release. Currently, the only models available in my account are:  Firefly Image 3 Firefly Image 1 FLUX Kontext Pro Gemini 2.5   However, I understand that other partner models such as Gemini 3 should also be available. Could you please explain why these models are not visible in my account and whether they need to be enabled?  

I try to use the selection brush, and it shows me a pop up saying it can’t import file. It thinks I’m doing something other than trying to use the selection brush. Is there any way to stop it? 

I have recently upgraded to a new PC. When I open an image in Photoshop the free transform “blue border and handles” are on by default. Despite selecting another tool, or accepting/pressing Enter, I can’t get rid of them. This means I can’t run any Actions. I can rersize the image using the controls, but the borders/handles remain. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,Zbysiu

I have a headshot of my mother wearing glasses. When the photo was taken the flash is reflected in her glasses. how do I remove these reflections

I need to change the background (white-gray squares) to black to clearly see whether I have cropped the object properly. In AE, this is switched in one click. How can I do this in Photoshop without creating layers with a black fill? Just set the background to be not transparent by default, but always black. Thank you.

Ever since I updated to the latest version of photoshop, the select and mask tool is giving me weird results. It is recognizing the subject in the photo, but it is recognizing it in the wrong location. Its as if it is selecting where the subject was before the image was moved to a different spot on the canvas. Photos attached.

Greetings:  Is there a way to make the work space transparent?  I didn’t see a way to do that in  Preferences. I do a lot of historic image digital restoration for clients and for gallery sales and often work at the pixel level when  cleaning edges, and a transparent background helps me find artifacts, etc., when I zoom out. I’m hoping I can make the workspace transparent rather than have to create a huge tranparent canvas. Thanks in advance for any help.  -- AC

Hello.  I have just reinstalled my mac yesterday (I have a mac pro turning with Big Sur). I resintalled photoshop and lightroom yesterday. My photoshop version is 22.4.0 20210512.r.195 5b318a5 x64And i cant go in Full Screen Mode. Not the Full screen mode you get by typing F but the mac os full screen mode, The one you get with green button. If I press the green button, photoshop open in almost full screen but stops at the dock. Lightroom is working properly. Is there  preference in photoshop ? A bug ? Something else ?  Can you help me please ?

am using Photoshop version 26.10. The Generative Fill feature works perfectly, but the Remove Tool is not working at all. Whenever I try to use the Remove Tool, it either does nothing, shows a program error, or fails to activate. I have already tried changing the Remove Tool Processing to "More Stable" in Preferences and restarted Photoshop, but the issue still persists. Resetting the tool and resetting Photoshop Preferences did not help either. Is anyone else facing this issue in the latest version? Are there any reliable fixes or workarounds, or should I roll back to an earlier version? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello. As I try to use the new Generative Expand function, I get the following message (attached): "To use this feature, first drag the canvas to expand." I'm calling this a "bug" because 1.- it makes no sense at all "first drag the canvas to expand" what does that even mean? – and 2.- because there is no further explanation, tutorial, click here to see more", etc. I tried dragging the canvas (the way I understand that) but the nonesense message keeps popping up (please consider getting some English Major to create these pop-up messages. Software Engineers... well, only they can understand themselves.) Ideas? Guidance? Thank you in advance. A.C.

eu Photoshop está extremamente lento mesmo em documentos simples. Configuração do meu PC: - Notebook VAIO FE15 - Processador Intel i7-13700H - 32GB de RAM - Placa de vídeo NVIDIA RTX 3050 4GB - Windows 11 64-bit - Monitor 4K O problema: O Photoshop trava e fica lento até para zoom, mover e selecionar objetos. Mesmo com o documento vazio, o programa trava. O Gerenciador de Tarefas mostra que a CPU está em 5%, a RAM em 60% e a RTX 3050 em 0% — ou seja, o Photoshop não está usando os recursos do PC. O que já tentei sem sucesso: - Atualizei o driver da NVIDIA para a versão mais recente (Studio Driver) - Forcei o uso da RTX 3050 no Painel de Controle da NVIDIA - Reinstalei o Photoshop - Testei nas versões 2026 e 2025 — mesmo problema nas duas - Ajustei todas as configurações de desempenho dentro do Photoshop - Troquei a pasta térmica do notebook O problema persiste em todas as versões testadas e em qualquer tipo de documento.

Hi, I just updated my photoshop to 2025 and have noticed a considerable brush lag since the update.  Normally I go to settings>preferences>deactivate native canvas rulers, but I don't see that option in 2025.  Any advice on how to improve the brush lag?

Hi guys,I'm currently on a Macbook with the M1 Pro chip and I have a problem with the brush in either Lightroom classic and Photoshop since I got the new Macbook. I'm on the latest macOS and on the latest versions of Photoshop and Lightroom. If I try to use the brush in Lightroom or Photoshop, I can hover around OUTSIDE of the image. As soon as I hover OVER the image the cursor gets stuck and i can no longer move it. The effect of the brush is applied however,  I just cannot see where I'm painting.  Most of the times it works when I lower the brushsize, but there's no fixed size where it occurs.  And the same problem with Photoshop. I have a feeling there's a link between the brushsize where i can move the cursor and the resolution of the image, but I'm not sure about that.Restarting the Macbook and/ or LR/PS does not solve the problem. Does anyone have or had the same error? Can't find anything on the internet.

I am trying to replace a head in Photoshop 2026.  I found the following video on Youtube however, i can’t find the same tool options in Photoshop 2026.  Where can I find a current up to date video on how to achieve a head swap?
