Questions

Today I downloaded the latest mac update on my macbook and since then photoshop on my mac has been stuttering. Opened a file and thought that was the problem but now still getting the stutter whilst only on a blank canvas. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.  My gpu is fine and I have enough ram. Scratch disks have 50gb so that cant be the problem.  Any help would be much appriciated. 

Hello all, I'm currently working on a huge file with numerous artboards. To lighten the file I'm converting each artboards into a smart object, into a linked smart object.Since it's taking me some time to actually do it manually, I'm looking for a way to it automatedly create *linked smart objects* out of a selection. I'm on photoshop 2025 if that helps.  Thanks for any help or clue 🙂Arnault

I have over 50 images stacked as 50 layers in a document and want to convert each layer into a smart object. What is the best way to do it? I thought of creating an action to covert to smart object and run it over 50 layers. But I could't find a way to loop that action. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you. (Ps: I saw a simier question asked by someone else and the answer was a script to run. I have no idea about scripts or coding. So couldn't really understand the reply.)

When I try to export a .gif file from my project, I get the not enough memory error from the save for web pop-up. My gifs are not big. My largest file size is 610kb, and the video I am converting it from is 23 seconds with every 2 frames, totalling about 200 frames. Even when I change these numbers to lower the frames, lower the quality, lower the colors-- the answer is the same. The pop-up is always that I do not have enough memory.I have tried increasing Photoshop's alotment in preferences -> performance, and I have tried decreasing it as well. I have tried both .mov and .mp4 video files. I have tried compressing my video first. Nothing works. I have cleared video cache. I have all other applications closed and quitted, so nothing is running in the background. I have shut down the application and started it back up. I've done just about every suggestion on the forums.I can export photo files just fine. I can export a png that is 2MB without issue, but I cannot export a 500KB gif a

I'm using Linux and so far the web version of PS had suited my use cases. But I still miss a few classic features of the desktop version. - Pen tool (selection and free form) - Gaussian blur - LUTs - Non-destructive editing (effects displayed below the layer) PS.: a performance improvement would be great. I'm using the latest version of Zen Browser (Firefox) and ZorinOS for reference.

The Cancel button should require a two-step confirmation. Its current placement is too close to OK, which makes it easy to click by mistake. Adding a confirmation step (first click "Cancel," then confirm the action) would protect users from unintentionally losing their work or interrupting a process, improving overall UX and reducing frustration.

This is my seconf Shortcut that disapears all the sudden. Im an artist and i use photoshop to draw and paint. Everyone i know keep saying to try the alternatives, wich i did, but i always comeback to Photoshop, i like it, i love it and i feel very confortable using it. But now its really stressing me out and im batteling giving up and moving to alternatives. Why im stressing out_ because suddenly, 2 of my most used photoshop keyboard shortcurt disapeared. Some months ago, the Brush Mode CLEAR stoped working as a keyborad shortcut, at the time i didnt mind it much and thought that for some reason, with all the new stuff that Photoshop being put in, probably the shoertcut was needed for something else. Now since the last updadate, everytime i keep pressing  SHIFT + ALT + S, my brush mode dosent change to Sceen. if i press SHIFT + ALT + M, it changes to multiply, if i press SHIFT + ALT + D i changes to Color Dodge, if i press SHIFT + ALT + N, it cha

When I try to run Image Processor from within Photoshop or from Bridge, I get the message "JavaScript code was missing". I get the same or similar with other script functions (see screenshots) and when browsing to other scripts I have manually placed in the Presets>Scripts folder. This is a brand new Mac. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop from Creative Cloud with and without removing preferences, as well as both v 26.0 and v 26.10. I have since installed v 25.12.4 and the scripts all run without problem. It seems like v 26 is unable to access the Applications folder or something? I have checked the scripts are present where they should be, and can be run if placed in another location. The only related article I found was talking about a similar issue when launching Photoshop with Rosetta, which I am not doing. System:Photoshop v 26.0 and v 26.10Macbook Pro M2 Max, OS 15.7  

Hallo Alle,wenn ich versuche, in Bridge 2025 ein Bild in Camera-Raw zu öffnen (CS6) kommt immer die Meldung, "Camera-Raw Bearbeitung ist nicht aktiviert". Wie kann ich das Problem beweitigen?DankeF. Fobbe

Hello, the key "<" is currently assigned to decrease the tool hardness. I desperately need to assign "decrease tool size" instead, but Photoshop tells me it is impossible - even if I delete the hardness shortcut. I did however assigned the ">" key to "increase tool size" without any problem. I use an azerty keyboard and windows 11, any idea how to fix this ? Thank you !

I want to express my frustation that Adobe has started charging for generative AI credits in photoshop, when the AI is still getting it wrong so much of the time. Just now, it took me seven attempts/credits to fill in gaps in a wreath of flowers with similar flowers to the existing ones. What should have cost one credit, cost six because the AI kept coming up with either wildly different flowers, or just different shaped gaps. I tried various prompts, and also no prompt. This is not an isolated incident, it seems it rarely gets it right on the first try. And sometimes it puts in random things that are crazy and were not asked for, like a tomato or a foot. I also hear this from other photographers, so I know it's not just me having this issue. I feel that Adobe started charging for these credits too soon, and should have waited until the AI was giving more reliable results.

Hello, I am using camera 5D mark III, by default aspect ratio on this camera is 3:2.When I am trying to open CR2 file made by camera on photoshop or lightroom image is croped.Attached original image properties and settings after open in ACR (LR opens the same as ACR)I`ve tried to change aspect ration. By default its set as "Full", supposed o open full image.For the test tried to open in FastStone Image Viewer - shows full imageTried to open in DPP from canon, it shows border on preview like size, same as ACR crop 16:9, the difference is that DPP tool allows to change crop, but photoshop doesn`t. I have saved CR2 file in DPP with changed crop to 3:2 aspect ratio, but ACR still cuts it. How can I get full image in Adobe tools to be able to work on actual image, but not croped one?

Hello, I am working on a large file (10000 mm x ~8000 mm) that was imported from an orthographic aerial drone mapping project. I have trimmed out all the "fat" from the image and now want to move one section, but it is saying "scratch disks are full". Yet, when I look at the drives in File Explorer, the four drives I have as scratch disks are virtually empty. I have devoted about 20 TB of drive space to scratch disks, so there is NO WAY that a single file should be filling that up. How do I fix this issue? Computer specs: Windows 11, Threadripper 3970x 32 core, 256 GB DDR 3133 hz DDR4 RAM, AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT.  Thanks

 

The PSDC s are just one month ago and i cannot open them with the error that is not compatible!It is soo annoying

So I have a movie that was taken in less than ideal lighting conditions and the best way to get a good output is to convert it into PNG files and work with them through Photoshop / camera raw. I used the Camera Raw Filter to make changes to my base picture and it includes a few masks, mostly landscapew masks, including sky, vegetation, mountains, etc.  My base image looks great. My problem is when I go to batch process through Photoshop, it appears ACR has pasted the same shape of the original masks in all of my pictures, rather than re-identifying the masks in each image.  In other words, if  the image I used to create my script file has a mountain front and center, and I use the Mountain mask, all other images will apply that mask to the exact same pixles, even if my pictures are taken at a different angle and the mountain is now to the side. Is there a way to batch process these png files with ACR re-identifying the new locations of the desired mask?&nb

On a new Mac Studio with M3 Ultra and 265 GB RAM, Photoshop 26.10 shows extreme lag and stuttering when a document has the default locked background layer visible – even if it is completely empty. As soon as the background layer is hidden or converted to a normal layer, performance is perfectly smooth.Same files work without issue on an iMac or M1 Mac.Issue appears reproducible with some PSB file that contains the locked background layer.It is not an operating error but clearly a bug. System:• Mac Studio M3 Ultra• 265 GB RAM• macOS Sequoia 15.6.1 • Photoshop 26.10• GPU acceleration: On• Rosetta: No difference Adobe closed this case:Thank you for reaching out to Adobe Support. We appreciate your patience while we worked on your case. Below is a summary of the issue and its resolution:Issue: Very slow performance when having multiple layers and background layer. Resolution Steps: Guided the customer to hide the background layer. We hope this resolves your concern

I have a high end rig with 64 gbs of ram and 10 gbs of vram, sometimes when I open a few images in camera raw (5-8) it would jump to 9.5+ gbs of VRAM usage, causing the entire system to lag, the only way to stop is to quit camera raw. Anyone else expericing this and have a fix?

Any idea for the delay in Photoshop 27.0 or LrC. Has been almost 30 days since last update. Interested in the next major revision. How can Adobe take a product like PS or LrC to another level. Wow!

How to stop Adobe saving my photoshop and illustrator files to creative cloud? It's taking me weeks to download everything onto my MacBook. [cursing removed]. Help!

When I use some tools in Photoshop, something strange happens. Here's a screenshot when I use the "Spot healing brush tool". I try to remove the road and i drag it in the direction of the green arrow. When I reelese the mousebutton it automatically draw up and to the left like the red arrow shows.Why doe's it do so? I have PS version 21.1.0 on a Windows computer, and latest graphiccard drives. The fun part is that it works OK with my wacom pencil but not the mouse.
