Shift+Command+Option+E = Merge a copy of all visible layers into target layer - doesnt working anymore!in Photoshop previous versions worked normally! I allready reset keyboard shortcuts - no effect. 

Hi adobe community, I have an issue with using sliders (any slider, for example the brush size slider or hue/saturation sliders) in Photoshop CC while using my Wacom Cintiq 22hd and the pen. There's a small delay before the slider registers that I have moved the cursor, and instead of gradually changing the values it stays frozen for a short while and then jumps to a new value.So for example, let's say I right click on the canvas to bring up my brush meny and want to increase my brush size from 30 to 60 by dragging the slider. Normally the values would change in a fluent, linear fashion as I start dragging; going from 30 to 31, 32, 33 etc. However, when I start dragging the slider using my wacom pen it stays frozen on 30 for a short while (0.3-0.5 seconds) and then jumps to a new value. This only happens with the wacom pen. If I use the mouse to drag a slider it works as intended. Hope this makes sense.The issue seems to be related to Windows Ink, because when I disable it th

I have an image of an old photograph that I would like to make striaght. Is there a quick and easy way to make a "flatten" a curled photograph? Somethiing like the Puppet Warp tool but perhaps using the pen tool to follow the curled outline and then making it flat. Hard to explain, please see images for example. (I have blurred out subject for privacy). Woudl like to make the red line become the straight blue line, if that makes sense! Thanks!    

There are two ways to get levels. -From Adjustment Layers -By pressing Ctrl + L   What is the different between these two?        

I recently upgraded to Adobe CC, and when I place a PNG file into any Photoshop file, the image is distorted (see below). I read another forum that suggested that the "Use Graphic Processor" option should be unchecked. I did that, but unfortunately, it did not resolve the problem. What is also strange is that the little pieces of photos the are visible in the image are from several different recent projects but have nothing to do with the PNG I'm trying to open. I'm using a mac. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,I'm encountering a persistent issue with ExtendScript in Photoshop 26.1.1 when trying to create a layer mask. Any attempt to add a "Reveal All" layer mask to a newly created layer via Action Manager (executeAction) results in the following error:Error 8800: A general Photoshop error occurred. This function may not be available in this version of Photoshop.- The 'Make' command is currently unavailable.This happens consistently, even with a very minimal test script. My Photoshop version is 26.1.1 (Please specify your Operating System here, e.g., on macOS Sonoma 14.5 / on Windows 11 Pro 23H2). Goal of the original script:My initial goal was to create a script that adds a "grain layer" (a new layer filled with 50% gray, noise filter applied, and set to Overlay blend mode) and then add a layer mask to it, which would later be modified using "Apply Image". However, I'm stuck at the very first step of adding the layer mask. Minimal Test Script that reproduces the er

Is it possible to identify if an image has been processed using Photoshop Neural Filters? I'm wondering if there are any specific metadata tags or other indicators. Your suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks

I'm slowly getting used to CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-W instead of S but no matter which option I select in Export Preferences, it neither remembers where I opened the original file from or where the last one I saved one was. Either would acceptable but the first would be better. I have to specify the folder EVERY SINGLE TIME and when I'm editing multiple pictures this is the biggest pain.The Legacy Export as doesn't work consistently either. It was way better overall, but such is life I guess.    

Problems with the toolbar and generative fill, the toolbar is still there but the tools disappear, and when I use the generative fill it creates black shadows and I have to close and open the program several times because it also fails, I have already deleted and uninstalled everything and now when I have photoshop again the program feels slower and creates the same errors, I tried the "performance" options, removed the graphics card option and those things and it still fails, I have had this problem for almost 1 month, I put old updates and it continues to fail.

Hi,I have had this problem for a year.It manifests in two ways: 1) Whenever I open the font pulldown menu in Photoshop (any of the font menus) the top third to two thirds of the menu indents at random spots and jerks erratically as I move the cursor and scroll. I have attached some pics so you can see what it looks like mid scroll. Every time I the cursor moves the whole menu sporatically changes its alignment, making it difficult to get the cursor over font names.  All the fonts should be left aligned vertically (and stable aside form scroll), but as you can see they indent at random locations. 2) Lets say Arial, and Times were two fonts I used yesterday and as such, they appear at the top of the Fonts menu as "recent fonts". As I scroll down the page, and if my cursor happens to hit Arial, the menu pops to the very top - teleporting me to the short list of recent fonts. Like it's saying "oh don't use that one use this one at the top instead!" This is incredibly difficu

Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone can help! I bought the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD (2TB) today and want to use it as a scratch disk in Photoshop on my MacBook Pro, but it’s not being recognized by Photoshop.  Here’s what I’ve tried so far: • System Preferences > Security > Privacy > Full Disk Access, enabled for Photoshop. • Renamed the drive to ensure there are no spaces in the name. • Restarted both my MacBook and Photoshop multiple times. • Ran Disk Utility > First Aid. • The file system is ExFAT. Any ideas on what could be wrong or what else I can try? Thanks in advance!

I have a 20 artboards that I want to save as a multipage PDF...but I need the size to be 5MB Max. How do I reduce the size...there is no option to do so when Exporting my Artboards as a PDF. Also my photoshop file is so large that the "Save As Copy" option doesn't even allow me to save it as a PDF.

I'm just about to delve back into making a plugin for PS and while I have a lot of code and boilerplate for CEP plugins I wouldn't mind looking at UXP if it's in an actual usable state now Last I looked at it was a couple years ago and there was issues with even being able to handle saving out images to directories without getting permission beforehand/each time - has this actually been solved now or do I need to stick with CEP...For context, this would be yet another texture exporter for studio use - as we need to export textures and also create other files for our own internal uses.

Hi! I'm trying to apply the same Levels adjustment to a batch of images. I created a new Action, recorded my steps, brought up the Levels adjustments box and dragged both the left and right sliders in a bit.The changed numbers are even noted on the Action step (68, 223).   But when I repeat the action on another file, the Levels action is basically ignored, there is no change to the subsequent images. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks!

I know this has been asked in the past but my question is a little different.  I know how to do it, but I'm trying to figure out if we're allowed.   On my design PC, I run actions all day on artwork.  These actions are not only mostly single or low-threaded, but they take 2-10 minutes to complete.   Very commonly after waiting, I need to tweak the action because I did not like the result.  So, I run it again.   This is obviously a huge waste of time.  With my CPU barely scratching 10% and having 128 GB of RAM, I am thinking I can just use fast user switching on my PC and run another instance in parallel to cut my time in half. It says 1 copy per device and only 1 person at a time.  These are being satisfied since the other user is still me on the 1 device.  Some grey area in there.   Does this lie outside of Adobe's intention or still within it for licensing, as I am not sharing my license.&n

Is it possible to create a script that opens current layer in a new document? (not as smart object). I know I can handle that using the clipboard, but I want to know there's another possibility.

Hello, I'm kinda new to photoshop and yesterday I spent my whole afternoon unzipping new brushes and loading them in Photoshop. I created several brushes folders to arrange them to my liking (texture, landscape stuff) etc. They got loaded and I was able to try them. Today, as I go again on Photoshop, i'm suprised that any of those brushes or folders are here. Not even one but the "basic/already there" photoshop brushes you have when you first install it. What should I do? I had PLENTY of them and all are gone on PS

I love the effect of this "turn any photo into art" video, but it races through the techinque rather than explaining it step by step. Can anyone explain how they did it, generally or step by step? Thanks.https://creativecloud.adobe.com/cc/discover/article/turn-any-photo-into-art?locale=en

Hello,  I'm new to Photoshop so any advice appreciated My dad scanned in about ~1800 pages of photos from my grandmother's albums I’d like to separate for uploading to google photos. Unfortunately he didnt scan them in at super high resolution but it took him a week to do and isn't something I'll be able to redo.The majority look like this with 4-6 photos per page with this textured background. Some of the albums are black background and some are white but nearly all are textured like this. Have tried the Automate > Crop and Straighten feature but I think the background of the photos breaks it and it doesn’t work.. It also doesnt work when I remove the textured background. Interestingly, the object selection tool is able to outline all of these just fine. Using the object selection tool, I'm looking for a way to: a) merge selections (note in the top left it incorrectly made a few selections that should all be apart of the same selction, and  b) save all thes
