CTRL+SHIFT+A does nothing in both Photoshop 2020 and Photoshop CC 2019. All other keyboard shortcuts I have tried work. Camera Raw Filter plug-in is up to date, as of 1/9/2020. I'm on Windows 10. I've tried the default keyboard shortcuts and modified keyboard shortcuts. I can modify the specific shortuct to something else and it works, but then I can't change the shortcut back to its default manually--it's like I'm not pressing any keys at all; I have to click Use Default to get it back.All legacy shorcuts are turned off.  I know I can change it to something different to get A shortcut for Camera Raw Filter, but I'm used to the default and it's engrained in my muscle memory. 😞

My photoshop app on my gaming PC has been fine this morning until now. I have tried to open a PSD file only to the application not loading it after the bar has filled. There's so much work on that project and it's roughly 300 layers which the PC handles like a champion. Other files open just fine aside from this one. I have dowloaded the file and then opened it as the second attempt, nothing then the application starts up to make a "new" file. My internet is fine, but I don't want to lose all that work. I have purged every file as an extra, but nothing changed as I even reset preferences twice. Now I'm attempting my last attempt to fix the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling. What should I do to ix this?

Yesterday i've updated to the recent version.As you can see, both version run, but no any file loaded, so both are in "idle" state:any idea?

Whenever I try to use the gradient tool in the middle of my creation, it always snaps to the bottom. I added a video of it doing it. Is there a setting to turn this off, or am I using the tool wrong? I added this is a discussion because I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong or if it's a bug. Gradient tool is my enemy lol.  Thanks.

Mask meaning in Cambridge dictionary is FACE COVER. But in Ps mask means everything is hiden outside the masking region. Why is that difference? I know the meaning in Ae. 

I don't know if it exists, but I am looking for a digital pen that I can use to create photomontages in Photoshop on a Macbook.  Does it exist and where can I find it? Thank you!

Hello, I recently started learning to make gifs in Photoshop. I made several, exporting w/ "Save for Web (Legacy)", with no problem, but now all of the sudden whenever I try this the output is very low quality. I've attached an image of what the gif looks like in PS, what it looks like after I've exported it, and what my settings are. The output is low quality no matter if I export the optimized version or the original version. Please be warned: I'm very new to PS! I am using a 2016 MacBook Air btw. 

I'm having a folder with loads of pictures freshly out of the camera (one RAW and one JPG of each picture).I open up a bunch of RAW files in Camera RAW, do some corrections and open them up in Photoshop. So now I have a whole bunch of tabs with all the RAW images open.What I'd like to do: Create an action to save them one by one as JPG, while overwriting the existing JPG that came out of the camera.Problem 1: When recording the action, I get a "_copy" added to the file name since Photoshop does not allow you to save as JPG without creating a copy anymore. And the existing JPG from the camera is not overwritten.Problem 2: When removing "_copy" in the "save as" dialogue, the existing JPG gets overwritten (which is what I want), but then when I use the action for a second picture, it overwrites the first one, since the file name is the same in the recorded action... Thanks so much if someone could hint me in the right direction! 

I was working on a project and then tried to export it and then it would not let me so I closed out of the project then went and tried to click on the project to see if it works then nothing happen nothing will opening up including all previous projects before that and I can only create new projects.

The current selection is the frame of the box, as indicated by the red arrow. How can I select the smart object layer on the right side, as indicated by the green arrow, using JSX script code? I’ve searched many keywords in the forum but couldn’t find an effective solution. I’m posting here for help out of desperation. I apologize for any trouble I may have caused and sincerely appreciate everyone’s assistance. Thank you.

HiWhen I use the option to remove the green or purple colours often formed against a skyline, I get white/bright rim around the edge of the skyline instead.  I need an option to "content aware fill" this very fine area, where rim  ming exists. (Your sensitive words are driving me mad.  The term here is rim- ming I believe.

Hi, I am trying to feather the edges of the image in layer 1.Thanks. 

I'm honestly very confused at this point, and more than a little frustrated. I come from a Gimp background, and having just finished painstakingly creating a complex selection of part of an image, I expect to be able to border that selection easily. Sure enough I find the Border option in Select > Modify > Border, but upon applying that option I find that it also feathers. Wtf? Why would it do two operations in one? Surely that severely limits its usefulness.Now I'm stuck. I have a complex selection and I just need to border it. THIS SHOULD BE SO EASY. I'm pretty frustrated that something that should be so incredibly simple is requiring me to make a forum post. I actually can't even begin to imagine what the developers were thinking when they decided to add a feather to the border with no option to turn it off.

I have tried everything and am very frustrated. I have. a programmable logitech mouse, loopedeck and I want to download other cool plug ins. I have uninstalled everything, striped the computer of anything adobe, re intstalled Uninstalled all Creative Cloud everything. turned off firewal. Very frustrated. Did other stuff i have not listed because I am so frustrated and bummed.

A paid plug-in ive been using for a long time on photoshop (Shadowify 2) has suddenly disappeared from my workspace and now says "You do not have an app compatible with this plugin installed." when trying to re-install im upset because its something I always used it, I was even using it just a few hours ago. When i try to re-install plug-in it says "Compatible App Required" but everything is up to date. Manually dragging the .ccx plugin file into Photoshops Plug-in folder isnt doing anything either. Is there anything I can do to get my plugins back into photoshop? I use a Mac m1 aswell

For the past few days I've noticed that photoshop cc is making images a lot smaller than they should be. Gyazo - 808954b9bf9820c170ff5a754cfd7cc7.png this is a screenshot of an image that is supposed to be 150x300px at it's actual size. Gyazo - 209ed889e4dd9d3e36e824869c2974d0.png this is the image when uploaded to the internet (chrome at 100%). As you can see not only the size changes but it goes blurred as if it's being stretched. I haven't been in to preferences and I've no idea why! I've tried a few things to no avail, any suggestions?

What in the world is Adobe thinking?Why did they screw up acitons inside Photoshop. Why dumb acitons down to the point that for the most part you are not applying actions, instead you are applying simple one step adjustments and sometimes not even adjustments.Why Adobe?? Do you really think the professionals that use Photoshop want this stupid dumbed-down reimagined actions feature. Why do you have to take what was admittly not a great featue if you use the default actions, but was extemely powerful when creating your own acitons and redesign it as if it's marketing to the general public instead of their customer base. And now it just SUCKS!Adobe stop trying to market to novice, non-profesosinals and get back to supporting the professionals that pay every month for your software.I guess Adobe just has to find someway to screw up their software instead of acutally taking the feadback offered through the years and actually impove on the existing features.

I have placed an embedded image and am trying to select part of it using the lasso tool. I have rasterized the smart object, but it is still not selecting the pixels. Any ideas? Thanks.

I installed Photoshop on to a new laptop (HP Envy Windows)  and the Smart Sharpen tool causes strange horizontal lines across my images.  I have the same programme already installed on other devices with no problems.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled three or four times but the problem remains.

hello, I tried to using the AI with content-aware fill to clean my background. I selected the model, select inverse, content aware, and the result is always different and always bad (messy, not as clean as I would like).   I also tried generative fill, with prompts such as smooth the background, or restore the background, or fill the background.... But it doesn't work, I get the same message,  Here is the message We encountered an issue with your results. Please view our guidelines and try again, or if you think this was an error, Here is the original photo with the model hidden, and the result with generative fill Is someone having the same problem? Any suggestions?  Thank you
