Questions

Why is it that all of my Photoshop project files, which have been saved as .PSD, are showing as "Adobe Photoshop Image.26" as the filetype listed in the file properties? If I recall correctly, it didn't used to be like this, instead just showing .PSD as the filetype.Has this been a recent change to how the types are listed, or am I experiencing an issue of some sort that I should look into? This is impacting both new and existing projects.Again, they show this as the filetype: "Adobe Photoshop Image.26 (psd)"Any help would be appreciated!

In the latest version of Photoshop (26.8.1), when I use the "Rectangular Marquee Tool (M)" to make a selection, under Style, I don't see the "Fixed Proportion" or "Fixed Size" options. I see "Generate Image" or "Import Image," but I can't select them either. There seems to be some kind of bug in that version.I've reverted to Photoshop version 26.8.0 and it works fine.Mac Mini M4 with 32 GB of RAM. Mac OS Sequoia 15.1.1. Spanish version from Spain.

I'm always working on multiple files, in the past when I opened files, let's say 1 to 10, the default file that it opena was the last one, in this case number 10, when finished and closed Photoshop went to next file, in this case number 9, then 8 an so. Since last year this is not happening and I can't find a solution, it randomly goes from number 10 then to 3, then 7 etc, etc.. It is quite annoying as the only fix I found is to click every single file tab in PS in order, so when I finish it goes to the next in order. But when you are working on 20-30 files at a time it becomes quite time consuming.

Hello, about the problem. I need to digitise 50x50cm carpet tiles to be able to lay (or tile) them together in a 3D program for room planning. To do this, they must be absolutely uniform in brightness. So not darker or lighter at the top or bottom left or right. You can't achieve this by scanning or photographing. Now I have thought about dividing the image into several grids and assigning the same brightness values and ideally colour values to each grid element. but i have not found a way to transfer an absolute brightness value or curve.   attached is a scanned and stitched carpet tile. It looks good at first.but if you tile several of them together, the picture is very uneven.   or do you have an idea? Thx reinhard    

Just updated Photoshop to 26.6.0If I copy and past a text layer, then edit the text. While it displays the correct font in the top drop down, it's not using that font. It's using 'Myriad Pro'. I have to type a few letters, highlight them, change it to the correct font, then I can continue editing in the intended font.I would expect it to work the same as editing an existing text layer.

As a dedicated Adobe user, I'm compelled to share my significant disappointment with Generative Fill in Adobe Photoshop. In 2025, with the rapid advancements in AI, I find its performance to be severely lagging behind.When we look at impressive generative AI tools like Flux, Midjourney, ChatGPT, and Imagen 4, it's clear that the industry is moving forward at an incredible pace. Yet, when I turn to Adobe Firefly and the Generative Fill feature within Photoshop, the stark contrast is undeniable.The quality of generations is consistently subpar, and the AI frequently fails to accurately interpret user intent. This leads to frustrating and often unusable results, despite the significant monthly subscription fees we pay. We invest in Adobe expecting cutting-edge tools that empower our creativity, not features that feel underdeveloped and behind the curve.We pay a premium for the Adobe ecosystem, and it's time for Generative Fill to meet the high standards we expect. We urge Adobe to priorit

I'm trying to make a script to increment Opacity and Flow. I jumbled together the script fromRe: Is it possible to script brush opacity?  and Re: brush opacity for scriptingOpacity Increment:function SetPaintBrush(opacity) {      var idset = stringIDToTypeID( "set" );      var desc226 = new ActionDescriptor();      var idnull = stringIDToTypeID( "null" );      var ref170 = new ActionReference();        var idPbTl = stringIDToTypeID( "paintbrushTool" );        ref170.putClass( idPbTl );        desc226.putReference( idnull, ref170 );        var id12 = stringIDToTypeID( "to" );        var desc5 = new ActionDescriptor();        // opacity        var id13 = stringIDToTypeID( "opacity" );   

For the past year, or so, trying to stroke a path with the pen tool using the spot healing brush option just gives an error stating: "Could not use the *HEALING BRUSH* because the area to clone has not been defined..." I'm using the Spot Healing Brush, so I don't need to define an area. If I click, I get the default "no need to click, cuz it's the spot healing brush" error. Can this issue be fixed, please? Thank you. 

My eraser tool will not allow me to click and drag and consecutively erase a line. I'll click to erase what I want and it'll erase where my tool is placed, but when I hold and try to drag it, it will not erase. I have to keep clicking on my mouse in tiny incriments to erase anything...

Just bought a new Macbook Pro. Photoshop 25 will not open files from Dropbox. JPG gives this message: "because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete)." ARW files give this message:"Could not import the clipboard because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file" What's ging here? In the 2nd case, I did use the Open command. Tere's nothing in the clipboard as far as I know. 

I have been using the Contextual Task Bar for weeks and it was working. Today I get the following message: "The server is not responding. Please check internet..." My internet is working. Is this my computer or an Adobe problem? 

I have an AI file that has a glow and highlight built but uses different blending modes (screen, colour dodge, etc) and when I bring those elements over as a placed SO, none of those blending modes stick. How to keep blending modes?????

I like this effect but I can't get it now. The filter was applied to a circular selection. Now when I try all I get is a blank space. I tried it again in the original file and it worked fine, but won't in my new file. Many thanks for your help!

Estou prestes a viajar para um lugar sem acesso a internet por muito tempo e quero ter acesso a alguma versão legacy do photoshop para MAC que seja extremamente leve e que não precise de conexão com a internet. Minha preferencia sempre foi o Photoshop CS4 e já fazem anos que não vejo essas versões por aí seja oficialmente ou não. O mac que vou levar tambem é antigo, 2010. É um setup realmente vintage. haha

I recently upgraded my OS and then updated to latest versions of Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. Now the clone stamp always shows black or some weird really dark variation or negative of the colour I'm cloning every single time. I've searched Google and Youtube for terms like 'clone tool always black/dark/negative' etc but finding zero results. It's the 2021 version on PS and no further updates are available. Am I really the only person on Earth having this issue? It's really screwed with my work flow and put me under pressure as I shoot real estate and typically use this tool on every job.  I've checked all the settings I can think of such as brush settings. I really hope somebody can help - maybe even Adobe! Cheers

Cześć, potrzebuje pomocy. Od wczoraj nie mogę korzystać z programu Photoshop . Przy każdym włączeniu pojawia się komunikat:Nie możemy zweryfikować stanu Twojej subskrypcji. Błąd 10000. Faktury są opłacone.  Dziękuję za pomoc

Good day, I am new to Photoshop. I am on PC, I am using 26.8.0 version of the program.  Let's say I have 10 layers in a document: 1 background and 9 rectangles, each with a different width and height. I want to set a specific width and height for the 9 rectangles at once. For example, I want all rectangles to be 200 x 200 px. I have tried selecting all of them and using Free Transform, or setting the desired width and height in the Properties panel while they are all selected, but it resizes them incorrectly (the chain is turned off)." Is there a way to do this? Before posting here, I ran a ChatGPT inquiry, but it gave me the wrong answer.    

I have tried several times to install photoshop on my MacBook Pro m2pro but it keeps saying error code 183? I have done several solutions online but none have work. Please help !?   {Moderate Note: Edited the thread title}

Hey there, I need to export a multi-artboard file as pngs. Doing this via quick export.Chosing "png","smaller file" andscaling them down by some percentage  introduces a white/transparent border, because when scaling down PS apparently doesn't recalculate the image data, but the data previously calculated for web output. It also produces really bad colors -  like when exporting as GIF and not ticking "convert to sRgb". I remember from ye olde times png 8 was pretty much the same as GIF, some something must have happened here.Also - since even LR can export AVIF (but not WEBP...) natively now, why are there no options in PS export for these formats everyone seems to want now? I really have to reopen the exported files in PS and resave as AVIF so I don't get a 150+KB file for a grey rectangle with some text? Or import them into LR so I can get this set up as a new, faster workflow? Or am I not grasping some concept there? I have to recycle pixel data here, otherw

I'm encountering an issue where I change the opacity of one layer in one document, and the selected layer in another open document changes with it!Really annoying and potentially damaging/expensive if I don't notice it's happened.This is really to ask if anyone else has experienced this. I don't have time to list all my system specs, provide highly documented examples and so on, Adobe.

I'm a paying Creative Cloud user and I want to file a formal complaint regarding Adobe support.I contacted support because **Generative Fill in Photoshop suddenly stopped working**, and I wanted to report the issue properly. While I was preparing a screenshot — exactly as the agent requested — the support representative **ignored me and disconnected the session** without any warning or follow-up.I then attempted to reconnect through the support system, but it either stalled or threw me back into the bot loop. The support experience was unprofessional and frustrating — especially for a paid customer.Please treat this as an official complaint and escalate it to the appropriate support or product team. I also request a technical follow-up regarding the current state of the **Generative Fill bug** — as this seems to be affecting many users.System details:• OS: [insert your OS here]• Photoshop version: [insert your version, e.g. 25.9.0 Beta]• Error: Generative Fill greyed out / not loading

I am switching from a Windows PC to a Mac. I used migration assistant. My photos all gor moved to a Pictures directory. However my creation dates and last modified dates are the dates of the transfer.  Opening my catalog on the mac, pictures show up with an "!". I guess I can override from the catalog but I have over 13000 pictures. Is there a better way to move the photos over? Or a way to do a mass change from the catalog?

Apologies I have tried to find a definitive answer but struggling.   My question is; let's say I take a photo of a fence, and I use photoshop to include a bird sat on it.  Can I use this new image (created with real and AI), for promotional purposes - a shop flyer for example - or is the AI generated part copyrighted to Adobe or other?   btw - I'm certainly never going to claim the bird was real/in the photo!!  I'm just trying to get my head around the legality of all this new technology.   Hope this all makes some kind of sense.

Does anyone know why there are seven instances of Microsoft Edge WebView2 running alongside Photoshop 2022?  I hope I've solved the freezing/crashing issue but Psd is still running sluggishly and  I would still like to know about this change. I'm looking at Task Manager on Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit (updated just a few days ago). Thanks, Sidney
