I'm running Windows 10. My desktop suddenly cannot access Lightroom pix from Photoshop 2025. If I try to, the sidebar menu freezes and Photoshop shoots up to 99% RAM, which efffectively halts my entire pc. If I exit Photoshop it still keeps using the same amount of Ram, and I have to End Task through Task Manager to actually halt it. Notes:- The same photoshop account CAN be accessed from a coworkers laptop and is able to load Lightroom photos with no issues. - Uninstalling Photoshop and the entire Creative Cloud and reinstalling it does nothing. - Renaming the preferences file does nothing. - Creating a new user id, logging in on the desktop and then the photoshop account, does nothing. - Installing an older version of Photoshop does nothing. - Agent tried running the CC Cleaner app, but it did nothing. I've gone through 4 help agents, all of who logged in to my pc remotely to "fix" the problem and all of whom could not fix it. They all accidently di

Hello, Adobe Team. I am reporting a critical issue that prevents any Photoshop script from executing command-line processes on macOS using the app.system() command. This issue started recently after a long period of working perfectly. Environment: * Photoshop Version: [FILL IN YOUR VERSION, e.g., 25.9.1] * macOS Version: [FILL IN YOUR VERSION, e.g., Sonoma 14.5] Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a Mac with a recent macOS update, open Photoshop. 2. Run any script that contains the app.system() command to call a system utility (e.g., app.system('curl --version')). Expected Behavior: The script should execute the command and return the expected result. Actual Behavior: The script fails. In my case, a plugin that depends on curl returns a "Curl Not Found" error, even though curl is installed and works. A minimal test script using app.system() also fails. Diagnostics and Tests Performed: After extensive troubleshooting, we have confirmed the following: * The issue occurs on two different Mac machin

Today I saw that Photoshop was no longer installed on my Mac (M1 Pro) laptop running Ventura 13.4.  I had to reinstall and all my previous Settings such as Workspaces, etc. were all missing.  All other Adobe Software that I had previously installed was still installed.  Why did was Photoshop automatically uninstalled without receiving any prior notification from Adobe.  This is super FRUSTRATING !!!

Currently the Remove AI tool, works with distraction removal. It does not permit to draw straight lines. For example: A straight line from point "A" to point "B",  to remove digital artifacts. The Clone and Spot heal have this feature but frequently they are not the ideal choice. Draw backs to these two tools, Clone requires a source from which to clone, and Spot healing tool frequently, alters the edge itself. The Remove Tool, does a much better and cleaner job, especially where an edge is soft. I'm requesting for this enhancement because it is very difficult to maintain and drag a straight line with the Removal tool when the image is enlarged and the line extends across the entire screen of a 27" or 30" monitor. Please do not change this fantastic AI Removal tool, only add additional functionality.Cordially,René

For last few months whenever i try to paint in photoshop, brush automatically truns to mouse cursor while zooming(Z button) or Redo (Ctrl + Z) or paning (spacebar) as you can see it in attached file. Either i need to restart the photoshop or restart the file in order to work again.

For the love of something, can you make the Free Transform tool's handles NOT snap to the document edges when Snapping is off? It's only been broken for 10 years. It's so annoying. If I wanted to snap to the edges, I'd turn snap on. Thank you.

When using the Apply Image feature (PS 2025) on a new blank layer above adjustment layers, is it possible to make changes to the adjustment layers below that will be reflected in the new Apply Image layer?  I use the merge setting option on the Apply Image layer.  I have found that the only way to do this is to delete the Apply Image layer, make the changes to the adjustment layers and redo the Apply Image.  Does anyone have any information on this?  Thanks!

I've been banging my head against the wall trying to build a brush panel plugin that captures the currently selected brush with its proper display name. The problem is that Photoshop's APIs keep giving me useles internal names instead of what users actually see.   What I'm trying to do:  - Detect the currently selected brush  - Get its real display name (like "Rob's Main Brush" or "Soft Round")  - Ideally also get the brush preview/thumbnail image   What I've tried so far:   1. currentToolOptions - This gives me crap like "hair 4" or "brush 4" instead of the actual brush names users see. Completely useless.  2. presetManager - Contains thousands of items but they're mixed with  tool presets, crop settings, text presets, etc. Not just brushes. Also has duplicates across different loaded brush sets.  3. brush property (JSON) - This has the actual brush database with real  names, but only seems to co

I'm having trouble masking a dark island from a distance in a near grayscale picture.   I have a video that came out terrible becasue of the clouds and lighting situation.  It's out the window of a plane taking off at a remote island.  After converting the video to PNGs and using the various landscape filters in ACR and Lightroom Classic, I was able to add color and turn them into something completely attractive. For the final minute or two of the video, the plane is so far away from the island that ACR can't recognize the island as vegitation or mountains, however the island is much darker than the water and sky.  I tried using the Color Range and Luminance Range masks to isolate the island, however it keeps selecting more of the picture than I want. Can someone recommend to me the best way to mask just the island? Note - I'm using the "sync" feature to apply the masks across several thousand pictures.  Keep in mind the plane is moving so t

When animating in Photoshop, and moving the playhead left or right, it doesn't select the actual visible layer of the video group I'm working on, and I have an annoying message saying I can't draw on the layer on screen. I have to manually select the layer I see to be able to paint on it.Is it possible by script to automatically select the layer you see when moving playhead ?

When my animation is not at 30 fps, I can't cut a video layer when theres only one frame after the playhead.I have to pull the end of the layer to add 1 frame to be able to split my layer.Split at playhead only works when there's at least two frames after the playhead.The problem doesn't seems to appear when the animation is at 30 fpsThanks ! OS : Windows 11PS version : 26.8.1

Feature request - Break apart smart objects with embedded vectors linked to Illustrator, into native Photoshop shape layers.   This would similarly work like the "break apart" feature from Flash back in the day, a means of un-nesting a vector object into the most root level type of vector native to photoshop.   This is to work around some files layered this way from Adobe Stock and files done by graphic designers that just happen to work this way.   It would then prepare an easy way to convert artwork from .PSD to .AI by easily exporting to Illustrator.    

Hello, I use the Microsoft Slim Pen 2 on a Surface Laptop Studio. In Microsoft apps (Surface App, Whiteboard, Journal), the haptic feedback works perfectly. However, in Photoshop 25, the haptic vibrations are not supported.Please consider adding support for the Windows Ink Haptics API so that haptic feedback is also available in Photoshop. This feature greatly improves comfort and precision when drawing and retouching.I appreciate your consideration.Slim Pen 2, haptics, Windows Ink, Surface Laptop Studio

Is it possible to have the option for a client to upload a refrence image when is reviewing the asset?For example (i work as comicbook artist) i submit a drawing for review (with Share to review) and send the link to the client. they have the option to comment using a pin or with a pen, but is it possible to them upload a reference image as well?and ofc, aside of that, i would like to leave a suggestion for the file to review to be available for download as well 

Ich würde mich über ein neues Feature wie "Pfad aus Objekterkennung" freuen. Eine automatisierte saubere Variante eines Pfades auf Basis von KI. Das derzeitige Toleranzfeature nach Auswahl reicht mir nicht aus (Gleichbehandlung aller Abschnitte und oft sehr unsaubere Ergebnisse). Auch soll bei einer Kreisauswahl dann z.B. an den Extrempunkten (oben, unten, links, rechts) ein Pfadpunkt entstehen und nicht random sehr viele oder nur 3, die in Summe eine komische Form ergeben. Das würde auch z.B. bei der Schrifterstellung deutliche Vorteile bringen.  

So wie man perfekt Drähte und Kabel entfernen kann, wäre es vorteilhaft, wenn man auch Gitter-Zäune (chicken fence) feststellen und entfernen könnte.

Hey,I’ve been using Photoshop for over ten years. Few years ago I also started using Procreate on an iPad, because it feels more intuitive and natural for drawing.Many artists with a similar background and experience, that I talked to feel that Photoshop is missing a feature that would make digital illustration much more convenient and faster.Problem:One of Procreate’s nicest tools is QuickShape. You draw a rough line or shape and hold your stylus then stroke snaps into a perfect straight line, circle, rectangle or other shape.You can then tap an option to edit the points and adjust the shape without switching to the Pen tool. This makes it easy to draw precise shapes quickly.In Photoshop the closest option is shift‑click for straight lines or using shape tools and path editing, which in my opinion is much more less intuitive.Solution:It would be great to have a QuickShape drawing mode in Photoshop so you can hold a drawn stroke to snap it into a clean shape and/or optionally edit its

Hi everyone! After reinstalling one of the PCs in our company, Photoshop has started acting strangely. We process images using custom actions and scripts across four PCs (all running the same updated Windows 11 Pro and updated Photoshop). The three older installations work perfectly, but the newly reinstalled one keeps generating temp files and rapidly filling up the hard drive.These temp files are PNG masks of selections (see attached). Even after closing Photoshop, the files remain in the temp folder. The exact same action set behaves normally on the other PCs, so I’m not sure where to begin troubleshooting this.Any ideas?

I did simple height to normal map filter and it looks like working. Then  I did simple blur  filter for rgba input  and it doesn't?   did a simple pixel processor filter that  adds values to RGBA input  and it doesn't work .    Can you use sbsars to make our own filters for photoshop  or we can't?    and can we make them work in document native resolution?

I see that  image have to be exactly power of 2  to works pixel accurate in ultra resolution.   Grayscale inputs work mostly .    .  But when I try to use layer transparency as secondary input  to primary RGB  one  i see nothing . I want to recreate slope blur  in Photoshop.   Can I do it?      With chat GPT  finally starting to do actually working scripts    I am trying to do a sort of come back to Photoshop  that collected lots of dust at my PC  few recent years.   An ability to do custom  live filters  by Designer  like  height to normal map conversion, live frequency separation  tricks and so on  is so cool .    Yet I still don't understand why one  SBSAR works perfectly fine  and another one doesn't work at all.     What are the  limitations?    Chat GPT tells
