Dear Adobe Support (FYI and Help will be appreciated but it appears to be a system BUG)I am trying to process large images for design work and the GPU even though correctly configured is not operating. It spikes in smart sharpen and liquify but nothing in Neural Filters expecially JPG artifact removal which it says will take hours and only the CPU engages. I have removed and reloaded the Adobe software I am running the latest version 26 I think it is GPU is NVDIA 4050 in a laptop ASUS with i7 two SSD 3 TB 30 GB memory. Lightroom uses the GPU 100 % and that is confirmed but not photoshop. I do have multiple screens.

I would like to know - working on a photo series - if there is any way to create with Generative fill/Firefly closely similar objects or characters in different photos (of the series). I'm happy with GF as another tool PS can offer to us but considering working with a series of photos there can be a problem if every outcome of GF looks very different, especially in different photos. Not knowing anything about "the inner life pf PS", my "solution" would be that there could be available some cross reference between photos in creatiing new variants. What do you think?

I am making an animated GIF. I have watched this video which is really helpful.https://www.youtube.com/embed/ChSmyIZAkog?rel=0&enablejsapi=1 I selected  'made the frames from the layers' so the layers appear in the Timeline panel. I have now made more layers and want to add them to the Timeline panel. How do I add frames at a later stage? The 'make frames from layers' is now greyed out.

Hi,I'm experiencing a serious issue with Photoshop not detecting my dedicated GPU. My setup:Laptop: ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 H7600ZWSpecs: Intel i7 11th Gen, 64GB RAM, RTX 3070 TiOS: Windows 11 ProPhotoshop Version: 26.5 (latest)Photoshop runs very slowly because it only uses the integrated GPU (iGPU) instead of the RTX 3070 Ti.I’ve already tried the following steps:Set Photoshop & Sniffer to use high performance in the NVIDIA Control PanelAdjusted Windows display settingsUpdated all drivers and WindowsClean reinstalled PhotoshopContacted both Adobe and ASUS support 3+ timesUnfortunately, ASUS confirmed the iGPU cannot be disabled in BIOS, so I can’t force the system to rely solely on the dedicated GPU. Adobe support was not been able to help.Interestingly, Photoshop v22.2 works fine and detects the GPU properly. This leads me to believe the issue may be related to the sniffer.exe tool in the newer versions.When I removed sniffer.exe in v26.5, there were some performance impr

Hi,I´m using Photshop CC and I'm rendering a video for a client. The document was created with Artboards ON, and now that I'm exporting the video it adds a lot of blank space around the visible area.The Artboard is 800x800 px but when I'm exporting the video it says the document size is 1600x1600, effectively adding a black space on the resulting video.This is super annoying. I tried Disabling the Auto-Size canvas on the Artboards Gear Icon, tried using the slice tool, and even cropping the image, but when the video is rendered, even tho I set the size as 800x800, it keeps adding the black space around the video.Is there a way to fix this? !

I wonder if anyone has information on the topic.I have an ASUS with a NVDIA 4050  GPU that I purchased for Photoshop and lightroom processing of graphic design and photographs. Lightroom seems to be accessing the GPU sucessfully and it really spools up and works on photographs and other. Photoshop however is an issue with the beta and 26. X version but it has been like this for a long time now. The GPU just spikes and then goes down to no activity while the processing continues for several minutes instead of seconds. The main system is an i7 with about 48 GB memory two ultrafast solid state drives 1 TB and 2 TB and everything on the latest drivers and SW. I have configured one way and another through as many processes in Photoshop and Windows and NVdia and still no change. My only option is to remove photoshop and start clean but I dont really want to do that as it may not help anyway I need the GPU to work as processing isreally slow on my larger projects&nbsp

Hi, does anyone know how to create this pattern in Photoshop or Illustrator? I need to use it to create a bump map in another program. Thanks

Hello, the files in my library are greyed out, and it says, "This item is not supported by Photoshop." The same files can be accessible on Illustrator and Photoshop beta. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop; in most of the cases, if I troubleshoot Creative Cloud with CTRL + ALT + T (Win), the app starts shutting down automatically on the new doc screen. Attaching the system info. 

In the new Photoshop update when I click on the Object Selection tool there is no Object Finder checkbox showing up in the Options Bars. I have reset the toolbar and still no Object Finder. All it shows right now is Select People with no other option. 

For the past couple of months I've been getting this error: "this is not a valid Portable Document File (PDF) document. It cannot be opened." error when I'm NOT trying to open anything.  I'd say it's happened maybe 10 times over the last couple of months and 9 of those times, it's happened when I'm waking the computer from sleep.  I can't seem to figure out any pattern to it.  It's like it's trying to open a file on it's own but it doesn't show in the recent list and I'm not seeing any action that could be doing this.   Any ideas?   {Thread renamed by moderator}

For social media posts there are file size limits on GIFs. For instance, Facebook is 5MB. I typically will hit this target in the Save for Web panel by adjusting the dimensions of the GIF until the file size is under 5MB. This is a tedious process that can definitely be sped up. I suggest a tool that allows you to input the file size target. It then automatically adjusts the dimensions of the GIF accordingly.

Estou sofrendo com corrompimento de arquivos após salvamento. Os arquivos são salvos de forma correta, porém, corrompe de forma que chega a mudar a data de modificação para antes do arquivo ser criado. Além do software estar travando muito. Não sei o que poderia ser, pois enquanto o computador funciona normalmente, apenas o Photoshop está travando. Meu software está atualizado e é o original. 

The Image Adjustments > brightness/contrast setting in the latest version of Photoshop for Mac is washing images out when I increase contrast. Increasing contrast previously darkened images. (This is happening in adjustment layers as well.)  I use this tool frequently, and the new settings don’t allow for the same darkness/richness without the entire image darkening. It’s difficult to get the same effect easily with curves. This seems like an error in the update. Could you please provide any assistance?

Hi everyone, I am a newbie on Photoshop and I need some help on how to achieve this early 2000s edit, reminiscent of 'fruitger aero'. I'm assuming the background is done on Illustrator? But I truly don't know where to start TT 

When using photoshop after a bit it will get slow and the mose position will desync by up to half of my screen and when scrolling the image will bleed off the screen.

Hey, So I recently bought an M1 iMac to work from home on a bigger screen and so I wouldn't overwork my 2019 Macbook Pro for heavier jobs. What I found out while using Photoshop with my M1 iMac is that, at times, the optn key acted like it was being pressed down although it physically wasn't. There is, apparently, nothing I can do to solve this when it happens except restart my computer which ends up being a pain in the a** on my workflow. I've searched this "bug" before and only found one person with an apparent solution which was to turn the sticky keys on and off (or along those lines). I also enabled the keyboard viewer and in fact when this bug takes place I can see that the optn key is "active" but even if I turn it off on the keyboard viewer, it still acts as if it's pressed down. None of these methods seems to work for me. And so here I go, restarting my computer again. This only seems to happen on Photoshop and on my iMac. It never happened/happens on my Ma

Hi everyone, I’m working with Photoshop version 26.8.1 on a MacBook Pro with the M4 Max chip, running macOS Sequoia 15.5, and I’m experiencing the following issue: Whenever I click on “Enhance Details” after using Generative Fill, Photoshop crashes consistently. This happens regardless of the image or project. I’ve already tried everything available under Preferences > Performance, including assigning the GPU, enabling/disabling all relevant performance settings. I’ve also cleared several cache-related folders, including: – Camera Raw Cache– PluginData from com.adobe.cai.uxp– LocalStorage and temporary .ldb files– Photoshop-specific assets and settings files under ~/Library/Caches/Adobe Here’s an important detail: after restarting the Mac, the feature works again, but only for about 10–20 “Enhance Details” actions before Photoshop crashes again. After that, the only way to make it work again is to restart the machine — then I get another window of 10–20 succ

I noticed in Photoshop, that the background doesn't actually look white (fffffff).. even though the color picker shows it is white and in the upper left corner. Contrast to Illustrator, and Powerpoint... The image below was taken by arranging all three applications on my machine... the hex color code is shown in the text is the value reported from the screen grab in SnagIt. Please help me understand how to make white = white.  

Hey guys, anyone with any ideas on how to create an effect like an out-of-body experience like in the image I've attached? Specifically, how to blur and lengthen parts of a specific image (like the hair and white clothing on the lady) and how to create such a glow around a person?Any help will be greatly appreciated! I'm still learning.

I need to be able to print color targets for making custom ICC profiles, so I need to be able to print without color management. Photoshop doesn't allow this. I've had to use the old Adobe Color Printer Utility, which hasn't received an update in a decade or so. With each Mac OS system update, it becomes less and less usable. It now takes several attempts to open/print files. Color Sync is *supposed* to be able to do this, but the option to print without color management is always greyed out, no matter the file type. Since making custom profiles is a pretty vital thing to be able to do for people using Adobe products to do professional printing, I figure Adobe has some other solution besides an old, deprecated piece of stoftware... right?
