Questions

I have been using Topaz Photo Ai for a couple of years, and was super impressed right from the start.  At the end of the first year I was asked to pay for another year of updates, and decided to wait till some real changes in the app’s quality.  When I saw the Wonder model examples I thought the time to pay out had come, only to find they had switched to a subscription only payment model, with a commitment to a full year at significant cost!I have found DXO PureRaw which gets good reviews and is attractively priced.  I have also seen mention of OnOne NoNoise, and I know I can get similar sharp images from blurred originals with NB Gemini 3 so I love to hear if other people are in a similar position, or have experience with DXO Pure Raw or alternatives?

Photoshop intermittently behaves as if the Shift key is being held downFor nearly five years, I have occasionally experienced an issue where Photoshop suddenly behaves as though the Shift key is being held down, even when I am not pressing it.For example, when I use a transform shortcut, Photoshop repeats the transformation as if Shift were pressed. When I merge layers, it sometimes merges all layers as though I were holding Shift. This happens despite the Shift key not being physically pressed.Pressing the right Shift key once temporarily restores normal behavior, but the issue eventually returns. I have been dealing with this problem for about five years.I have also found several older posts describing the same issue. Is the Photoshop team aware of this bug? Is there any permanent solution or workaround?*This post has been moved by a moderator. 

Cancelé mi suscripción de Photoshop el 21 de julio de 2026 aproximadamente a la 1:00 a. m. Sin embargo, ese mismo día se realizó un cargo por MXN $1,828.68. Solicito que revisen la hora de la renovación y de la cancelación y, si la cancelación fue registrada antes de la renovación, me ayuden con el reembolso del cargo.

To get it back, I have to use the menu Window > Uncheck CTBar, and then use Window > Check CTB. Every time I get the CTB back, I pin it. This only happened when version 27.5.0 was released.

Suppose you have a simple image of an object like a teapot.  You would like to be able to use this image to create several stencils: one of the bowl and spout, another of the lid, and a third of the handle.  What steps would you take within Photoshop in order to turn your image into three such stencils?

ESTOU TENDO PROBLEMAS PARA EXPORTAR PRANCHETAS NO PHOTOSHOP, alguem sabe sobre esse erro?

I have drawn a property line on my drone image using the polygon tool. It will not save as a jpeg with the lines still there. How do i  save it so the lines show up?

Please revert the changes to the hand tool. It’s been a while since it was changed but I really miss the old one. Or make it a toggle feature. I don’t like how it scrolls with the box now and I liked how clean the original hand tool felt.

I couldnt use photoshop for six months unfortunately. I was using the simple tools last year. But its freezing now. When I try to paint ım waiting because of lagging. In my opennion my computer is enough for photoshop software. I attached my computer’s spesifications. What is the solution?  

During my daily use of Ps, a pop-up just came asking me if I’d like to dismiss dynamic preview while Manual Transformation on a Dynamic Object with Dynamic Effects to optimize performances.I miss-clicked and accepted, which led me into not being able to foresee what my layers will look like from now on while I manually transform them.I thought it was ok and I’d just reset that option that isn’t suitable neither useful for my use of Ps and therefore went into the Settings panel.I went through literally every single item listed in every single folder of the Settings panel and nothing matched this option and could help.I then decided to completely reset Ps settings, closed it and re-opened it ; it wouldn’t work again.I had to uninstall the software and erase any user preferences to reinstall it and recreate my Workspaces to make it work like it did 2 days ago… EDIT : I created a new document with a simple square and a shadow cast effect, worked fine.I re-opened my documents, tried to modi

When I click on an imported layer to adjust, when I save the change it is saving over the original file, not just overwriting the layer. How do I stop this happening. I have tried Edit contents and replace contents to try and solve this issue. Can someone help with a fix please?Thanks

HelloCan anyone help? Since the update at the end of May 2023, the brush shortcut for size and hardness control no longer works (ctrl + Alt + Right Mouse + drag left/right).I have gone into any tool, preferences to check, tried other keyboard shortcuts and watched tutorials. I even uninstalled and reinstalled PS.I suspect it's a bug, has anyone had the same problem or solved it already? Thanks

With the recent Camera RAW 18.4.1 update, a generative expand feature has been added to the geometry panel. Now, when I hit enter after setting alignment it starts trying to generative fill the image instead of saving my settings and exiting Camera RAW. Is there a way to disable the generative fill part of the panel or bypass it? It’s a minute detail, but I’m processing a lot of photos and generative fill now prioritizing the panel (when I almost never use it) and having to mouse back over to “ok” when I’m flying through on shortcuts it’s throwing me off.

The new Discover panel is a total nuisance. It pops up in front of my work all the time. If I close it, it just jumps back up. How do I disable it?

Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.8.0 20260610.r.13 4081857  x64 (final, Release)When using generative AI and a image is returned in the new layer i’ll notice absolutely nothing was changed.  Not that i didn’t like it, but nothing was changed.  if i change the model then something is returned with some changes based off my prompt.  Here is the thing though.  My credits get subtracted even when no changes were done.  I mean pixel for pixel no difference.  I report all of them.  I also notice a lot more orange notifications popping up saying they can’t do this or that becuase of policy which is a complete false positive as if i run it again it works just fine.  But even when it can’t do anything or tells me it was in violation even though it wasn’t, i get credits taken out.  When doing images it only happens maybe 5-7 times a month.  But when working on videos and the same thing happens thats a lot of credits that get taken back.  even with Claude or Codex or ChatGPT they issue credits refunds

Looking for some help with a custom script, hopefully someone has some insight for me. My end goal is to have a single PSD file with a set of images, each placed on their own artboard, with all artboards being a consistent size (in pixels).   I can't use a batch process or anything traditional because I need the user to be able to adjust the placement of each photo within the artboard before exporting the resized images.   Breaking it down a bit, I'm looking for the script to do the following actions: Have the user input a desired width and height for the artboards to be set to. These values will be the same across all the artboards (only need to prompt once), but it's important that the user is prompted for the dimensions since they will change. Have the user select a set of images from their computer to import (these will be a mix of sizes and aspect ratios, but always flat images.) Import all the images into their own individual artboards within a single PSD, with all

I know how to export to each psd file using the photoshop variables.But I want to know how to replicate artboards with the data in my csv file.

Device-mode Select Subject appears to leak retained memory by approximately 2–3 GB per image, even on small images around 1500–2000 px on the long side. Photoshop memory is limited to ~35 GB on a 64 GB Windows system, but once the retained memory reaches the Photoshop ceiling, the entire machine becomes nearly unusable despite apparent free RAM remaining.Cloud mode behaves differently: memory rises during Select Subject, then partially drops, and accumulates much more slowly. This strongly suggests the issue is specific to the local Device processing path rather than the images or action.Edit > Purge > All does not release the memory.Closing documents does not release the memory.Only quitting Photoshop clears it.After several images, Device mode begins falsely reporting that no subject/object can be found.This makes batch editing workflows a joke, because after 5 or 6 images using on device, the Select Subject starts reporting it can’t find subjects, even though they are there.

The zoom using the option + scroll wheel in Photoshop on MacOS is too fast. It zooms in and out way too much with a slight scroll. I use the latest Photoshop version and I have this issue on both Magic Mouse and Magic MX 4. I tried googling the problem but still couldn't figure it out. Is there any newest working solutions to this problem?

mac, M1 MacOS 26.5.2 Adobe PS 27.8.0 Wand tool is not working. I have it sampling 3x3 pixels with a tolerance of 10. No matter what setting I use, using the wand tool selects the entire image. I’ve tried several images. I’ve opened and closed PS.  It’s just all of a sudden very broken. I try quick selection, and that too is ignoring vastly different colors and it’s just acting like a marque tool.   

I continue to have problems with Adobe and Partner generative tools returning terrible faces - the AI changes eye direction, adds smiles, adds glasses, changes expressions. So frustrating. A recent AI chat session here said to add statement like “Do NOT alter facial features" "Preserve every face exactly as it appears” That didn’t work either. The AI response said not to use “RESTORE” commands but instead just colorize. Kind of defeats my goal. Can any one help? This is taking hours and hours and multiple passes in the hopes of lucking out. Surely there is a simple way to adress this?

Whenever I try to use my rectangular marquee tool, I get this:I am using version 27.8.0 on a Win 11 machine. I have been careful to make sure the correct layer is selected. I have no trouble with the lasso tools or select and mask, or with the other marquee tools. What is happening here?
