Questions

I've noticed in many communities and forums that a lot of people are eager to get answers to their questions, which is completely fair.But here's a question for those people: do you try to search for the answers yourself first? Do you use tools like Google or ChatGPT before posting your question?If yes, and you genuinely couldn’t find the answer, then it totally makes sense to bring your query to public platforms like forums or communities. That’s what they’re there for: to help each other.But if you're skipping the self-search step entirely, consider giving it a try first. You might be surprised how quickly you find what you're looking for.And if this came across as harsh to anyone, I sincerely apologize in advance. My intention is only to encourage self learning and efficient use of community support.Thank you.

I turned off "Auto Show the Home Screen" and I still get this:How do I get rid of it?

What's the deal with this UI? Every update just makes it worse. Menus hidden behind menus, basic functions impossible to find. Gets worse and worse! 

I'm having a hard time organzing many, many photoshop actions. There seems to be something called "set" but nowhere can I find how to see the difference between an Action and an Action Set. I often download/buy actions, they too could be one or the other. When I creat a new action set from the menu, and then try to drag such actions (groups?) into the set, they simply change places/order, but no "nesting"occurs.For example: I have several actions to help me create vectorized/line art/drawings from photographs. The actions names vary enourmously, so I just want one "container" within the actions panel for all of them.I hope I've made myself clear, as googling this subject has left me almost empty handed.

Just received this notification when running on PS.  Never knew credits was even a thing until now - can anyone shed some light please?Thank you in advance.

I can no longer open raw photos in PS 2025 because they open in a partial raw window which hangs and I can't then get PS to see the photo. I have spent hours updating everything but nothing works.

The patch tool used to be next to the healing brush tool, but it's no longer there. How do I enable it again?

Hi there.I am editing these pictures and I was messing around with the gradient map. I've used it before and never encountered this issue before. When previewing the gradient map, the image looks completely different compared to when the map is actually applied, whether this is done to a rasterized image or a smart object.This is the image in the preview.This is the image after applying.I have other examples too if needed. Can anyone help me find a way to achieve exactly what I have in the preview? Thank you.- Tibi

I looked in the Actions folder and there aren't any by the name of my actions. There should be several by the name of sky replacements      

After I updated both Lightroom Classic to v9.2  and Photoshop to 2020, when I open PS I get a message "Your Lightroom Library is Empty". The message goes on to suggest I may installed Lightroom on my desktop. Wouldn't my recent update of these two programs provide them both with the common knowledge that I already have Lightroom installed? OK, so after digging around the internet I am now aware that this message refers to a library of photos in the cloud. No, I have no photos in the cloud. I do not intend to use the cloud for the foreseeable future. I prefer software that knows that I will be working with the assets locally, rather than with assets located on the internet. How may I politely ask Photoshop 2020 to stop sending me this irrelevant message? Or, is there a way that photoshop could open to a different screen? Or would Adobe consider making the message more relevant to the fact that it is looking for a connection to photos stored on the cloud?

HalloIch benutze PS CC sonst nur zur Fotobearbeitung.Heute habe ich ein MP4 Video geschnitten und einen Soundtrack mit einer MP3-Audiodatei hinzugefügt.Der Ton ist aktiviert, Ton und Video sind gleich lang. In der Vorschau sehe ich das Video, höre aber keinen Ton - auch nicht nach dem Rendern als fertiges Video. Ein weiteres, fertiges Video mit Ton wird auch nur Stumm wiedergegeben. Dadurch stelle ich fest, mein PS CC spielt überhaupt keinen Ton ab. Wo ist mein Fehler? Vielen Dank

Attempted to download more brushes (Get more Brushes) and I can't get past the "Sign in to download" even though I'm signed in.Adobe Photoshop | Download exclusive brushes from Kyle T. Webster I've had several remote tech support people attempt to help and they can sign in with their account and see the brushes. I have a new cintiq pro 24 I'm running PScc on, and I've tried logging in on other computers to get more brushes and still the problem persists. Can't figue this out. I think its something on Adobe's end. I've downloaded the brushes in the past on other units.  Can't figure this out.

Hi all, wondering if you can help me.What I have done is created an image 14000x14000 pixels, but when I try to import an image that is 2100x2100 pixels, it stretches the image to fot the whole the canvas.This is not what I want to happen at all, I really want the image to remain at the correst size when I drag and drop an image in, so I don't have to keep resizing the thing.  As this is just addding so much time on to what I am traying to do.So, is there an option I can click or change that will stop the images being resized ever time a drag and drop an image in?

I am currently experiencing an issue with the Neural Filters in Adobe Photoshop. A few days ago, I noticed that whenever I attempt to access the Neural Filters panel, it appears blank, with no filters displayed. I am unsure of the cause, as all other features within the application are functioning normally.I would appreciate any assistance or guidance regarding this matter.Thank you. 

Is there a script to determine which PS or InDesign on the taskbar is the current window (active state)?I need to switch operations back and forth between PS and ID, and when I'm done storing the image and go back to ID, I want ID to update the image.The ID forum has been asked and it doesn't seem to work.Maybe there is a high level expert here.Can tell me the current window is ID or PS. Thank you very much.

I need help, I’m at the end of my rope with Adobe and I’m about to call a lawyer as adobe is in violation of its own terms and service.  To make a long story short: I work in Hollywood with film Directors on the studio lot. I use an perpetual version of photoshop because I use custome scripts Ive created over the years specifically for film production. Last week, I swapped out a CPU on my workstation which in turn, somehow deleted my photoshop activation. *important to note, the computer and all other software apps on my workstation are still running fine, but adobe refuses to allow me to register my photoshop saying "I should have deactivated my photoshop before i swapped out me CPU. " ...No where in the documentation does it say I should have deactivated PS before swapping out a CPU. It simply states that I need to deactivate if I move to a new workstation. THIS IS THE SAME WORKSTATION and amounts to them stealing my property and  ....yet their customer

The kind of color fill layers and shape layers is the same. How can I distinguish between a color fill layer and a shape layer using JSX?The following checks if the layer's kind is a shape and the path is greater than or equal to 1, which would make it a shape layer. However, there’s a flaw: if a PSD file has paths with more than 1, a color fill layer might also be incorrectly identified as a shape layer.(function() { // Get the currently active document var doc = app.activeDocument; var subPathsLength = 0; try { subPathsLength = doc.pathItems[0].subPathItems.length // Read the number of paths } catch (error) {} // Get the currently selected layer var selectedLayer = doc.activeLayer; // Check if the selected layer is a shape layer if (selectedLayer.kind == LayerKind.SOLIDFILL && subPathsLength >= 1) { alert("The selected layer is a shape layer."); } else { alert("The selected layer is not a shape laye

안녕하세요포토샵에서 사진 파일을 열려고 하면 이런 화면이 항상 뜹니다. 여러 파일을 선택해도 이런 화면이 뜨면서 한 개씩만 열리는데어떤 설정을 해야 원래대로 나오는지 모르겠어요.

Hey there, Since a few days, I constantly get "couldn't update smart objects, program error c61b18.1156". I don't know what provokes it. But it starts popping up when I als-left-click (Wacom). Then it also concerns the Marquee tool, I haven't tried much else since then. Edit: I deleted the smart objects, but it still kept popping up. Win 10, 128 GB RAM, Quadro M5000, 70% reserved for PS, extra 1 TB M2 SSD for scratch. What I unsuccessfully tried to "fix" it:Reset preferences....... my absolute "favourite"Update GPU driver (is/was the latests "conservative" production branch driver, so no update there)deactivate GPU in performance settingsdeactivate GeneratorPS already is latest current versioninstall PS user diagnostics (worked yesterday, won't copy anything to clipboard today)Wacom won't release new drivers for my device, so no updating those. Thanks in advance!
