Questions

This is the only place I found to ask a ? for Photoshop 24.7.3 Can someone please help and direct my ? to the proper place? I can't find the proper place to ask a ? I accidently closed the L side bar with crop, magnifying glass, eraser, clone, etc.... and can't find where to open it again. Some how it separated itself from the background work area and can't get it reattached so moves with the background work space. Thank you for help! Mac OS 14.3.1

Adobe / Photoshop,What I do appreciate  is : Adobe continue to do general stability update for v25.12. (last update 25.12.4).What would be great is : Adobe do the same thing,  including bugs fixes and performance for V26.0 and later. 

Hi, I just updated Photoshop to the newest version, and my computer and graphics card is also updated, but my Photoshop can't open. Can anyone help me? I also resetting Photoshop preferences.

Before the Photoshop 2025 update, I was able to select a layer within a group by simply using Alt/Option + Left Click when my Move Tool was set to Auto-Select and the dropdown was on "Group". This option no longer works, and my muscle memory is struggling here hahaha, since I've been using Command + Alt + Right Click to achieve the same function.Any help with this? I'd love to have the simpler option working again.PS: I thought I was going crazy, so I went to do some research and found forum posts confirming that the simple shortcut I’m referring to actually did exist.https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/3523/direct-select-layer-ps 

i work in a retoucher environment for a large company. we get in product files as layerd .tif files. we have to put them on a 2000x2500 pixel jpg. the issue is, i need the top of the product to be a uniform distance from the top of the document and maintaini its proportions and positioning. some of the files have a transparent image lavey, a shadow layer with mask below that, a color fill layer below that, and an unused layer at the bottom. another variation is the have the top product layer in a group and the rest is the same .Ive. been using a few AI tools and the path weve gone down is to1. Resize the image to 2000x2500 if needed2. Merge anything above the color fill layer, 3. drop a horisontal guide at 675px (we havent determind the proper height we would need yet)4. move the top of the product to meet the guide5. Flatten and export or just export as aJPGwe tried flattening the image first, creating a new document pasting it in, and doing the remaining steps but cant seem to g

Hello everyone,I’m experiencing an issue where Photoshop does not take focus when switching from another app on my M1 MacBook. I have to click on the image or some part of Photoshop before and keyboard shortcut/input is acknowledged. I’ve tried several troubleshooting steps, including using the Dock and Mission Control to switch, restarting both Photoshop and my Mac, resetting preferences, and running in Safe Mode, but none of these steps have resolved the problem. Has anyone encountered this issue or have any suggestions for further troubleshooting? Any help is appreciated!

Hey all! I cannot figure out if this is a bug or what, but hopefully you all might know! I'm creating a gif of 28 images on photoshop - dispose is selected, before everyone jumps to that - but I'm getting these weird glitches after exporting. I'll attach what it looks like below - I have tried redoing it over and over, restarting, making sure PS is up to date, exporting at a lower and higher quality, making sure dispose is selected, etc and I still can't figure it out. I also have plenty of storage on my laptop and external hard drive. Please help!! Thank you!! 

Não consigo usar essa ferramenta. já tentei várias formas para tentar arrumar, não consegui de forma alguma.

Hello,I have a function that gets the average color in a selection area. I want to be able to select multiple areas, and get an array of the averages in those area in one go (e.g: to use in a gradient map). I figured out that I can convert the selection (with all the areas) to a path, and then I would have different subpaths for each selection area that I can theoretically loop through, convert into a selection, and get their average color, then delete the created path/subpaths.However, I wasn't able to implement my idea. apparently selecting different subpaths on the same path is not possible via scripting (?), and I also failed in separating the subpaths into different paths to loop through (I found some posts about that here but I wasn't able to implement).Any help would be appreciated.

Im trying to open up a .psb file, nothing is working, it just comes up with this error message?

I recently shot the finish line of a marathon for some 7100 imagesApprox 40 were out of focus so I flagged them as rejected and put them in a seperate folder.I used the Focus Point plugin for LrC to see what I was aiming at and sure enough the problem was me. I somehow stumbled across Black Forest Lab's Flux Playground website and ran those out of focus images through it, using this prompt:"Improve this image and put the subject in clear focus and blur the background like an f2.8 lens". It did exactly as instructed and runners who were totally out of focus, were generated clearly, other than some of the illegible text on their bibs remaining garbled. The background f2.8 simulation was nearly as good as I could get from my 70-200 lens. OK ...I've used PS for over 20 years and it has generative Ai so I thought I'd try that on some of those photos just as a test. Using the same prompt just produced absolute garbage, so I tried first selecting the subject onto its own layer

I hope someone can help me here.  I am JUST now learning about 3D normal maps and was happy to see that my beloved Photoshop can do this trick.  The issue I am facing is everytime I go to try and create a 3D Normal Map of my image I get the following error..."The 3D features require that "Use Graphics Processor" is enabled in the Performance prefrences.  Your video card must meet the minimum requirements and you may need to check that your driver is working correctly." "Use Graphics Processor" - is enabled and still no joy. PC Spec:GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 64gb RamRyzen 7 7800X 3D 4.2ghz Is there any way around this never ending error?  

I was wondering if someone could help me. I recently got a Macbook and I've had trouble exporting images that aren't blurry. I usually only use photoshop to crop/resize images into the pexel size that I need for our website (900x600, 180x270, etc.). The images I open are usually pretty large, so when I resize them in Photoshop to one of the smaller ratios, it exports blurry. I had no issues on my other computer with this, so I'm thinking it's a setting or something that I need to change. Any insight would be helpful, I'm definitely not a pro on Photoshop. Below is an example and then my export settings (this is what I did on my previous computer and never had any issues with the scale being small and the image exporting blurry).   

Arabirim sütunları çalışma alanında kayıtlı oldan değişikliği yoksayıyor ve programı her açtığımda sütunlar daralmış olarak karşıma çıkıyordu. Bu nedenle manuel olarak genişletmem gerekiyordu. Ben de bu sinir bozucu bug ı araştırırken topluluktaki bir arkadaşın durumu yaşadığını ve çözüme kavuşturduğunu gördüm. Denedim ve işe yaradı. Hiç bir türkçe kaynak olmamasından dolayı da buraya bilgilendirme yapıyorum.  "Sanırım bu hatanın nedenini ve muhtemel çözümünü keşfettim.Bu sorun, geri yüklenmiş/en büyük olmayan pencere boyutunuz, araç çubuklarının genişletilemeyeceği kadar küçük olduğunda ortaya çıkıyor gibi görünüyor (bkz. ekli görsel). Bu durumda tüm araç çubukları küçültülüyor (profilinizi sıfırlasanız bile). Daha sonra pencereyi büyütüp profilinizi geri yükleyebilirsiniz, ancak bir sonraki Photoshop açılışında, araç çubuklarının küçültülmüş durumunu hatırlıyor gibi görünüyor (tam ekran başlasa bile). Bunu açıklamaya çalışacağım, aynı sorunu yeniden oluşturup oluşturamayaca

Hello, how can I copy a layer by drag and drop (usually done by alt+click and drag) between multiple artboards in one photoshop document please? Nothing is working for me, like: ctrl+click and drag or alt+click and drag. Please help

I know previously there was a way to specify when saving photos for web to have the filename lowercase. The only thing I can find now is to make the extension lower or uppercase (in preferences), or in the SFW output settings, there are options for different filename setups, but nothing for prompting lowercase. Any ideas? Am I just missing it?Currently, the SFW file is pulling my document name.I'm on Windows 10, using PS 2025 - 26.7.0 

I have an issue and I don't seem to get rid of it.When I open a .PSD file (Windows 11) it will open in Fresco.The icon of the file is Photoshop. When I say PSD's have to be opened with another program, I have to look for Photoshop.exe and even then, it doesnt work and doesn't show the Photoshop thumbnail. Anyone with a solution? 🙂

Hi, please help me. I am in rush as i'm preparing my portfolio for application and the deadline is tomorrow. When i want to open my portfolio psd file, I get this error "couldn't complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered". I restarted the PS and laptop but it didn't work. I can open other files but just this file gives me this error.

I do not need any terabytes of cloud storage or other programs that are included in the "For Photographers" package.In this regard, I would like to ask - is there a plan, that includes only Photoshop and nothing else?

In the latest updates, the Free Transform tool has been experiencing issues. When holding Shift, Alt, or both while transforming images or shapes, the anchor point becomes misaligned with the actual image pixels, which negatively affects element alignment. Additionally, the general transform behavior only works in legacy mode, even after updating the settings in Preferences.Another issue is that when creating a square shape, it always starts with 1px rounded corners, which should not be the default.

I thought this had been resolved, but the issue is now resurfacing for me with the latest update. I cannot open PS because it crashes on launch (the last message I can read on the popup is InnerLoops Plugins Loaded). All I tried so far: - remove beta apps (I usually use PS and Premiere beta)- delete preferences folders- Cmd+Alt+Shift on launch to delete settings- uninstall and reinstall PS (with Mac reboots)- roll back to previous versions- remove everything with the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and reinstall from scratch- uninstall Nik7 and TopazLabs apps- try with a different userNone of the above solved my problem (PS version 25.12 on an M1 Mac running stable MacOS Sequoia); frankly, I'm out of ideas.Hopefully, someone here can help, thanks!

Adobe please make autorecovery ON the default!! Every time there is an update, or a change, or I just sneeze, the autorecovery turns itself off, and I lose work. I know I can save more often etc... but it is the program crashing that is really the problem.
