Hello!I'm trying to write a photoshop script that can change the size of strokes on all shape layers. When we increase the image size, none of the stroke widths scale with that change. This is what we are trying to fix. Is there a way to increase image size and have stroke width also scale? It seems super simple and I can do it in Adobe Animate really easily, but not photoshop.  So far I can get the stroke size of an active layer but not change it... (thanks to another great post)... Please help!! 😮  var activeDoc = app.activeDocument; var layers = activeDoc.layers; var layerLength = layers.length; //alert(layers.length); var r = new ActionReference(); r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo")); r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum")); //alert(executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo")).getUnitDoubleVa

I've been experiencing a frustrating issue with Photoshop recently. Right after opening the program, it becomes unresponsive. No matter what I click – whether it's a menu, tool, or document – the program acts as if it's frozen. This unresponsiveness lasts for about a minute, after which Photoshop starts to function normally again. This problem doesn't reoccur until I close and reopen the program.I have tried all the solutions suggested on the internet, Adobe forums, and even had a service technician try to fix the problem remotely, but nothing has helped. The issue didn't start until after a certain program update, and unfortunately, reverting to previous versions hasn't resolved the problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling an older version didn't help either.Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? How did you manage to resolve it?This issue is clearly visible in the video that I am attaching.

I am in the process of upgrading my current AM4 setup to AM5. New cpu, memory, videocard, everything. It's going to run Windows. I want to be sure these upgrades benefit Photoshop as much as possible.  I often work with very large resolution files. Think photos from an 61MP camera, often multiples of these stitched, and then also with several smart layers of edits. PSB files up to 4-5 GB sometimes. And I want to build a somewhat future-proof system, so the file sizes might even increase. Does Photoshop benefit from simply a huge amount of system RAM? Like, would 256GB ram be better than 128GB, for example? I currently have 64GB in my system and it seems like sometimes it's a limiting factor. Photoshop gets really slow, starts buffering (I suspect) etc. I want to mention I use intensive plugins like NIK and Topaz, so this could also be a CPU limitation perhaps. Basically, what I want to know if it is useful to consider future RAM expansions while thinking about

A very strange problem.  I can resize an image once, work on it, then try to resize a second time.  Each second time the Image Size window freezes with the phrase "Building Preview".  The only way of killing this is to go to the Task Manager and kill the Photoshop process.Samples:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KcAu1p0UeEolCVLRWRVmLKS6qspk6Cyj/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1atPNM2RGG1oVPBY6egEmocHRS2JKUmeR/view?usp=sharing Anybody else have a similar problem?  How did you solve it?

PS hangs for several minutes just moving the Actions panel scrollbar, no imagefile open. Changed file .atn with a saved one previously working (565 KB: maybe too much?). Uninstalled for that reason the last PS version, reinstalled vers. 25.7.0.Scratch diskspace available, disks check OK...I've seen a similar bug reported with a 24.x version, then fixed, dealing with Save in an ActionThank you for helping.

Hello,   Granted, I'm an infrequent user of Photoshop, but it's so unintuitive.   So I used to be able to feather edges, but it's not working now. I've tried multiple ways and searched for a solution online but with no success.   What on Earth am I doing wrong? Is there something obvious I'm missing?   Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Many thanks.

Hello,Has anyone encountered the following problem?I open a raw file with Photoshop, the photo appears in the Camera Raw Filter, and if I load an xmp file of a photo similar to the given photo, which was denoised with AI Denoise, the photo becomes ghosted like this in Camera Raw. Moreover, the ghost is the given photo, so it was opened in Camera Raw, and the XMP belongs to the powerful photo.And it has been doing this since the last update (26.8.0)I may have missed a few updates. I don't know when AI Denoise changed in Camera Raw, but when the AI ​​Denoise menu wasn't like it is now (I put it in the lower right corner of the attached photo), I didn't have this problem. (For me, the old AI Denoise looks like the one in the lower left corner)What is new to me and very strange is that when loading the XMP file, it now automatically brings the AI ​​Denoise setting with it, which it didn't do before the update. The older version didn't do this.I have put the previous 26.x.x versions back in

I was trying out the Photoshop app on my iPhone 14 (iOS 18.5) and experienced this glitch when I added text to my photo. I received an email and was asked to submit proof of evidence. I do not have an Adobe account as I wish to try out the free available functions first, and this happened. 

Hellooo,For past month and a half I believe PS got alzheimer, it keeps forgetting the Open Recent like every 2-3 days, but sometimes it happens 2+ times a day.Absolutely nothing changed hardware wise. It does remember the custom keyboard shortcuts for some reason, but to remember the files? Impossible. Like what can be causing it?d: 

The salmon tool works very badly! does not make a tweak of action, does not cancel until you close the salzo, the function is important, we pay so much money for the ADOBE CLOUD package, and the main functions do not work, [illegal activity removed]

I'm using the latest Photoshop update (automatic update) on Windows 11.  Recently, I've encountered a situation where each time I close and then reopen Photoshop, I have to do a Window>Workspace>Reset Essentials maneuver.   Because I use the basic workspace configuration, it's just a minor annoyance.  Still, it would be nice to not have to do that.  Does anyone know why this happens or how to prevent it?

I get similar digital hash every time in WIndows but I have seen some passable results in X86 macOS with AMD graphics.The Windows machine has newer and more powerful GPU/CPU than the Apple machine so not sure why the total failures.Hopefully this will get to the level of Generative AI, even in Windows.

I copy image as a LF layer and blur it .  then convert the doc to 32 bit    ( if I have any alpha I apply gamma 0.45454 to any alpha channel )      Then I set subtract blending mode to LF layer  and  get looking almost black  HF image  with most pixels negative .    With add blending mode on top of  same blurred original they do  perfectly frequency separated pair.  But how could I brinng it back to 16 bit integer  mode ?     I need to lift that mostly negative  HiFreq  layer to be around 0,5 right?   So I add 0,5 flat color layer  with add blending  but when I convert the doc back to 16 bit mode the gamma changes  and what was 0,5  is brighter now .  I do gamma 0,454545  to fix it.    Now  I believe   this HiFreq layer should work  on top of blurred original  being blended as LInear Light, right?

So I know this has been asked before but I have tried all the fixes and none of them has worked. I have tried .csv and .txt tab dilimeated. I have tried removing extra lines or columns. I have 14 columns in my excel file, is this too many? Is there a limit to how many fields you can have? Please help!  

To provide some context, I've been attempting to recreate an action using the new A.I. masking feature inside Camera Raw (ACR). I've reached a point where everything works, except for one issue: the masks don't update based on the specific photo being edited. This is similar to Lightroom, where you can apply a preset across multiple photos and the A.I. adjusts the mask according to each photo. When I apply the action to a new photo (not the one I used to create the action), it works flawlessly, except that the ACR masks still use the A.I. mask from the original image I used to create the action.

Hello to this group.  I think I have backed myself into a corner with the 'help' of the Customer Support line.  The tech support were very nice people but referred me here as they are 'not trained to help' on no longer supported software.  My partner is 76, disabled, and spends his day taking pictures and editting them in Photoshop CS5 (and really enjoys the content aware feature).  He is cognitively impaired, not able to learn new software, and barely hanging on to his knowledge of CS5.  Our XP hard drive crashed recently, was not recoverable, and had a copy of CS5 that was not used.  He used the version on Windows 10 machine.  So bought a Windows 11 machine, had Windows 10 hard drive copied to Windows 11, installed from CS5 .exe and thought all was great.  Then got the activation error messages.  So called Customer Care, who explained CS5 no longer supported, could not help, told to go to Adobe Community, suggested problem was the XP copy

Is there going to be a way to disable this new feature of double clicking to edit text? Sometimes when I'm moving things around I'll accidentally double click and then it will start editing the text versus moving it. I'd rather have a way to turn this off in preferences so it works like it did before.

Can't create a project file. If i do theres nothing i can edit. No background, nothing.

Hello, I have downloaded jpeg files from Stock Adobe for years. Likewise, within Ohotoshop, I have opened those files and saved them to cloud documents for years too, without any issues. Why is Save To Cloud Documents suddenly greyed out?

Hello all,Not sure where to post other than here so hopefully this is the right spot....I asked many months ago how to save a jpeg to make it load but but be an average file size and look sharp, the suggestion I got here was not to use, File...Save As... but to use, File...Export...Export As...I would pick 7 for Quality and save...I am making the pictures I post, 1500 x 750 pixels which has usally made a 1-2 meg file...Now when I do that same process my jpeg pictures are coming out about 500 KB and I don't know why. My pictures are being put on a Microsoft Word Web Page and haven't had any issues till now. Anybody know why or have any ideas ? Thanks--Bill Gass -

Hello! Thank you in advance for help. I can't find the answer for weeks.... I do ''render video'' Actions. Problem -> it always overwrites the file no matter I have ''file name'' included in Actions or not.

Hello,I've been using the Select Subject in Photoshop and also the Select Subject and Select Background in Camera Raw for a long time and they did a great job.With the latest update, I've noticed that it turned out to be inacurate on PS and Camera Raw.It's useless now. Plus, I have lot's of presets that use the "Select Subject" or "Select Background" that now don't work correctelly.For example, if you choose "Select Backgroun" it selects the background and the subject at the same time.Selecting the subject only select parts of the subject in an inacurate maner.I've noticed that Photoshop now have a new online Select Subject feature that Adobe state to be "more accurate", but I tried and I find it to be exactelly as accurate as the old bundled Select Subject. Not more accurate. Plus; it is slower than a slug. It slows down the workflow.Simply the online version work like the old desktop version used to work.I don't want to use the online version. Period.Why turning an earlier featu
