I am having some trouble with the Shadows and Highlights slider in Photoshop 26.8.1.  Previously I could make adjustments smoothly to the left and right with the slider and see the effects from this. The slider now seems to jump in increments not allowing me to see subtle changes, but chunks of big differences which isn't helpful when wanting to finesse an adjustment.  Is there something I need to try to fix this?  Thanks very much for your help.

My finger slipped as I was doing a Cmd_ to zoom out and somehow my layer has turned black and white. I can't find evidence of the black and white anywhere, it's not in the history bar and nothing's amiss when I look at the Channels. I've tried Cmd 2 and that hasn't worked either. I'm a little wary of trying anything too drastic because I just spent a whole hour making a detailed selection of some highlighted areas and don't want to lose my selection. Please help I really don't want to have to paste the texture in again it's taken hours!

Hey,I have a project with multiple text layers.So Photoshop allows to show only by Layer's type (text.. adjustment layer..) from the Layer panel. But when I want to show only one layer of the selected type (ALT+ click on visible eye of the layer). It doesn't work anymore. Is there a solution for this ? Thanks in advance,

I am currently working on a script that can clean the DocumentAncestors in a .psd file. Since there are SmartObjects in the SmartObjects of the PSD, I am current trying to recursively iterate trough all layers, check if a layer is a SmartObject and if so, iterate into it and check if any further SmartObjects exist. If no more SmartObjects exist, the script starts to delete the DocumentAncestors recursively.  The problems:- it seems to iterate correctly through all the layers, but the removal not always seems to work, since there are many DocumentAncestor entries left in the PSD afterwards- the procedure is also very heavy on the woking volumes. I am currently trying to remove the Ancestors of a 800MB PSD and the working volumes need >150GB of space- after about 5-10 min, the variable which holds the current SmartObject becomes invalid The code implements several different little scripts and parts of users found on here (JJMack, Kukurykus just to name a

Anytime I need to navgiate Windows Explorer in Photoshop (like if I'm saving or importing a file) I am met with incredible lag. Other Adobe apps like Premiere Pro and After Effects do not do this. Windows 10 Pro, 64GB RAM, Intel Core i7-9700F, Nvida Titan X 12GB

Although this has been mentioned in the past, this is a new problem for me with Photoshop CC.I have to save files as jpgs to make them small. But just after updating, I no longer have the option to save a file that was a png as a jpg!I can save a PS file as a jpg. But I don't want to have to convert a png to a PS file and then save it as a jpg. That's crazy! Too many steps. Can someone offer a solution- or is this a new change in Photoshop?  Is this a bug? should I repost this as a bug?   [Topic edited by moderator for clarity.]  

In der Symbolleiste der Werkzeuge links funktioniert bei mir in der unteren rechten Ecke des jeweiligen Symbols das Zeichen zur Auswahl der ähnlichen Werkzeuge nicht. Bspw. beim Auswahlwerkzeug erscheint normalerweise ein Dropdown mit den Formen. Im Video sieht man, dass nichts passiert. Es erscheinen nur die Photoshop Erklärvideos.

I need an answer from Adobe, not the community!!! This is sooooooo difficult to get service from Adobe!!!!

Hi, I'm trying to create an action in Photoshop. For this, I need to select the layer below the currently selected layer. The shortcut for this is Option + [. My problem is that my MacBook keyboard doesn't have a [ key. I can type [ by pressing Option + 9, but that means I can't use the Option + [ shortcut in Photoshop, because that would require pressing Option + Option + 9, which isn't possible. I've tried changing the Photoshop shortcut from Option + [ to something else, but I can't find where to do this. Since I'm creating an action, I also can't manually click the desired layer, because that would record the layer name into the action, which makes it unusable in other files. Does anyone know how to change the Option + [ shortcut in Photoshop so I can proceed with creating my action? Thank you!"

Windows 11 laptop, always using the latest version of Photoshop.Almost all of my Photoshop work involves birds.  For the workflow, I create high-quality (12) jpgs and open them in the Windows “Photos” App before deciding on the final version.  I'm very obsessive about the final product.  As an example, a few weeks ago, while in Photoshop, I selected the subject, decreased brightness by 45 and exported a high-quality (12) jpg.  I then reverted the change, decreased by 46 and exported another jpg.  I repeated this in increments of 1, all the way up to 70.  I named the files intuitively and went with the -63 version. I’ve done similar things with additional saturation applied to the subject only, as well as additional contrast applied to the inverse of the subject and to the sky. There has to be a way to save time by automating this that will not involve spending as much time tweaking the automation script as I would have spent by saving down t

I have been using the AI image generator in Photoshop. I'm new to AI, but I have been using Photoshop for 25+ years. I am having difficulty generating an image where parts of what I have described is truncated. The images are gorgeous, but I can't use them if part of the subject is cut off.  I have shown an image below where the paws of the cat I described is cut off. Is there a trick to use in your prompts to keep the image from being truncated? 26.6.1 Photoshop release Thank you.   

Photoshop 25.9.1, Windows 10.  After an update, my color pallette is now in a beige/sepia tone.  What should be white now shows as a mid-range cream beige.  When I go by the color code of ffffff I still get the beige look.  The other colors seem unaffected. I can't find a way to recalibrate the palette.  Thank you.

I tried all solutions on from the learn more button. There is enough spce but still getting that warnoing of not meeting requirements. .

Hallo zusammen, ich nutze die neuste Version von Photoshop (26.8.1) auf einem Mac Mini M4.OS: macOS 15.6 Ich nutze einen Loupedeck live mit Photoshop. Ich habe über die Loupdeck Software das PlugIn installiert - es wird mir sowohl in der Loupedeck Software als auch in der Creative Cloud als "installiert" angezeigt. Wenn ich aber Photoshop starte, wird das PlugIn nicht geladen und somit verbindet sich mein Loupedeck nicht mit Photoshop.Auch ist im Menü "Plugins" alles ausgegraut. Zusätzlich würde ich gerne auch noch weitere Plugins nutzen: Configurator Reloaded, Action Tool etc...Keines wird geladen. Ich habe Photoshop bereits deinstalliert und neu installiert (mehrfach). Leider ohne Erfolg. Was mir aufgefallen ist:Wenn ich Photoshop neu installiert habe und es das erste Mal starte, kann ich auf das Menü "Plugins" zugreifen.Sobald ich aber der erste Plugin installiert habe, nicht mehr. Kann mir jemand helfen? 

With the new update this feature stop working on my computer. Is there anyone with the same issue?

When using the Pen Tool in Photoshop 2025 on macOS 15.3:1. Select Pen Tool2. Uncheck "Target Path" in the options bar3. Click once to add the first anchor point4. Observe that "Target Path" automatically becomes checked againThis occurs even with tool presets saved with it unchecked and after preference resets or restarts.Expected behavior: Checkbox should remain off until manually re-enabled.

Is there a known accurate reference image file or files I can use to calibrate my monitor that anyone knows about? I just need to ballpark black, white, and color, and I can do it by eye.  

Adquiri a assinatura do Pantone Connect pois trabalho com a criação de embalagens e uso muito esse padrão de cor nas impressões. Para finalizar os arquivos para impressão eu preciso separa as cores Pantone nos canais de Spot Color do Photoshop. Não estou conseguindo inserir a biblioteca de cores Pantone nas amostras da biblioteca de cores padrão do Photoshop, pois só estando nesta biblioteca é que ele consegue ler e adicionar cores no canal de Spot. Alguém sabe como faço pra adicionar as cores Pantone Connect nessa biblioteca padrão do Photoshop 2025 para Windows?

Hello everyone,I want to create a script that resets the view rotation to 0. I tried using ActiveDocument.rotateCanvas() but it only adds the given amount to the current rotation.maybe there's a way to call "reset view" directly, or to read the canvas rotation angle then use that value in ActiveDocument.rotateCanvas() to cancel out the rotation?
