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.

Every tutorial on slicing suggests SAVE FOR WEB. Why? I need high-res output of a sliced image to print on canvas (divided by three to save on printing and shipping). Can someone suggest a simple way to divide a tiff or psd file into sections to send to my commercial printer? Thanks.

Is anyone else having this issue?  I recently updated to the latest version of Photoshop, 21.2.0, and after updating, Photoshop will open only once, then refuses to open again until I reboot the computer. Attempting to start Photoshop after I have used it once yields no error of any kind, I simply get a busy cursor for about 5 seconds, and nothing.Previous versions of Photoshop have caused me no issues at all.  I have tried everything I know of to resolve the issue including uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop, making sure to delete registry entries as well as related files, and folders on the computer prior to reinstalling, running the application as an administrator and running the compatibility troubleshooter, all to no avail. I have included a screenshot of my computer configuration.  Any assistance you folks offer would be greatly appreciated.  It's very annoying to have to restart the PC to run Photoshop.ThanksRandall

So for some reason, the up and left arrow keys nudge 2 pixels while the down and right arrow keys only nudge 1.  Any idea what might be causing this?

Generative fill seems to be unavailable on Photoshop. It's greyed out in the Edit menu and I can't use it from the contextual taskbar. 

Hello everyoneAs a Photoshop user, I am using the 2025 version and trying to learn Photoshop. When I try to download free sky packages from the sky replacement tool, it redirects me to the Photoshop tutorial page. My Creative Cloud settings are set to Turkey as the region. I think this is a software issue. I need help from an expert on this matter. I look forward to your assistance.Best regards to all.

Just updated to Photoshop 26.9. Windows 10 Pro 22H2. Photoshop crashes on launch with a generic dialog. If I hold down Shift-Ctrl-Alt at launch to reset preferences, I get a UAC dialog saying Photoshop 2023 needs permissions. I do not have PS 2023 installed. I have uninstalled PS 26, removed preferences manually, and reinstalled. Same crash. The GPUSniffer does run and the log shows it exits normally (although I don't have a supported GPU.)  PS 25.12.4 works fine. I'm less concerned about PS 26.9 not working (this is not my graphics workstation and version 25 still works) as I am wondering about the UAC prompt. Why is there a UAC dialog for PS 2023? If I cancel it, PS doesn't try to launch. If I enter an admin password, PS crashes without the prefs reset dialog. Launching PS 26.9 on the Mac with Cmd-Opt-Shift displays the prefs delete dialog correctly, with no Admin password request. 

Since yesterday I have problem with Photoshop 25.1 on my M1 Max Macbook Pro.Everytime I summon camera raw, it says "Camera Raw requires graphics processor acceleration to edit photos." I was using it daily until a couple of days ago. I'm also attaching a couple of screenshots to see it see my gpu but still...Maybe it was the beta I installed and then uninstalled that messed it up?Also I noticed that when you have the beta installed if you open a 16bit file, Photoshop will crash.

Dear Adobe Support Team,I hope this message finds you well.I am writing to urgently request assistance regarding a critical issue with Adobe Photoshop on my Windows system. I am currently unable to open any image file in Photoshop, as the application consistently displays the error:"Could not open [filename] ^0." …followed immediately by a crash.This issue occurs with all image files, regardless of format or size. Photoshop opens normally without loading any image, but crashes the moment I attempt to open a file. This problem has brought my workflow to a complete standstill. We are currently in the middle of several time-sensitive design projects that depend heavily on Photoshop.I kindly request immediate assistance or escalation to a senior support engineer, as this issue is significantly impacting business operations.Please let me know if you require any logs, crash reports, or system information. I am available to provide details or join a support call as soon as possible.

Hi, We’re looking to automate our image export workflow in Photoshop with the following goals: Resize images in batch to fit target dimensionsExport images consistently between 800KB and 1.2MBPermanently enforce these settings, avoiding manual adjustments for every export This is important for meeting platform requirements and maintaining quality/performance standards. Any suggestions on scripting examples, recommended plugins, or settings would be hugely appreciated. We’re hoping for a workflow that’s robust, repeatable, and easy to scale.

Hello,I was wondering if there's a way to copy a smart object's transform properties and paste them onto a different smart object, similar to smart filters or layer styles.From my research, it's not possible to do normally. Does anyone know of a script or is willing to make one for a price?

Recently PS has decided to open any image I have (all jpegs) in RGB by default and I'm desperate to change it back. Even if I create a new canvas and drag a file in the file is converted to RGB. I've reset the preferences but with no success. I'm a very basic user so haven't changed any settings and never had this problem before! I'm using CS6 on Windows. Any help would be amazing as I am very stuck! 

Previously, I only ever loaded my PhotoShop CS5 Extended on my desktop. Recently I installed it on my new laptop. When I used for first time it worked but complained that I reached the max number of devices (2)....BUT THIS IS THE 2ND.I did have a live chat with support but they could not resolve.Although CS5 is older, it has everything I need. Agent suggested upgrading to Cloud version , but I am on a fixed income and cannot afford.Any ideas on how to resolve would be greatly appreciated.

So it seems that photoshop limits the adjustment brush sizes to 5000 pixels.Now with the new Mavic 4 pro I am using for work, and its 100MP sensor, it is really quite small for some adjustments. It would be really helpful if the limit was way bigger. 

I have today gone into Photoshop. Imported an image. Then nothing. P/S has completely frozen. nothing works. Indeed I have had to use Task manager to close it down..Tried the re-set i.e  ctrl/alt/shift on opening, still nothing..Uninstalled and re-installed..Again no change, absolutely nothing, refuses to work..I have Beta installed and this works..My photoshop is the latest version with all updates..Any ideas?

I'm looking for the download for Kyle's runny inkers.It's no longer on the site and I need to update an old illustration. Can anyone please help?

I just purchased a new computer.. and when trying the photoshop 2025 I have on it... It seems that it is quite different. After Bitmapping someting for a nice halftone, the image zooms way out and goes to the corner. So everytime I halftone, I have to grab and recenter, and zoom back into my project.  Drives me nuts! Also, The halftones seem different as well... I use Photoshop for my screen print company.  But for some reason it behaves differently on my new Mac Mini.  I guess I just gotta get to know it. But the corner and zoom out issue is enough to drive me up the wall.Thanks

The version of photoshop 22.2 was supposed to be available for download until August 2023 in the desktop Creative cloud. It does not seem available anymore, at least I cannot find it. I have seen that other people have complained about the same thing. 

I can't seem to make my Ellipse properties panel appear.   When I have the Ellipse tool selected or an ellipse in my document, Windows>Properties only seems to show a properies panel for the document, not the ellipse tool.   The ellipse tool properties also don't seem to appear at the top of the screen even though the properties for other tools, e.g., brush or paint bucket tool do appear there.    I'm looking for Fill, Stroke, stuff like that.   I've attached a screenshot. Windows 10 64 bit Photoshop Creative Cloud Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.12.1 20241213.r.994 e7ca8b4 x64 Thanks in advance.

PS 26.8.1 I have an RGB photo on a layer. I want to have the top of the photo gradually go out of focus.I have asked Gen Fill to select subject (a vase with flowers). I took the generated selection of the subject and selected the inverse. I made that into an alpha channel. I duplicated that Alpha channel. I now have an alpha channel with the foreground black and the background white, and I want to take the white area in the alpha channel and make a gradient white to black.  What used to happen is that with only the Alpha channel selected (RGB no eyeballs) I could add a gradient to just one Alpha channel. But what's happening now is when I draw the gradient, with only the Alpha channel selected, it creates a gradient fill mask over the background layer, and the Alpha channel is unaffected. I see no way to get the gradient on the Alpha channel, like in the past. What has changed? Thanks! Screen grabs:

I can only edit a project properly on my laptop, but if I switch to another computer, even if signed in, I can see my project, open it and add new things to it, but cannot access my previous layers to edit the original. What am I missing? Example: working on a logo, can edit it... switches to other computer and cant edit the text, or anything. It wont work.  Any hints on troubleshooting or is this a bug?

Even though the date on the Photoshop app on my iPad Pro shows the correct date when I export it as a png it saves as a random date. 

I just bought the new samsung book 5 pro 360 with the ultra 7 and intel arc graphics for using photoshop. it has 16 gb of ram and let me tell you, it runs like a turtle. this laptop cost almost 2 grand so I feel like it should be able to use Photoshop without any issues. I dont even know what is the cause of this, I have tried searching for advice but nothing super helpful comes up. Has anybody else got this laptoip or experienced this. Mike
