Questions

Some time ago, when viewing an image at 100%, photoshop would display the image the size it was, but after an update a few years ago, it has been showing images about half the size they actually are.  I've ignored it and worked around it, but I'm adding images to a website and I need to size them by eye and I'm tired of sizing an image 3 times, because i have to check how big it actualy is in preview and then guess again at a different size.   I must have a setting wrong somehwhere?    Can anyone help?  Here is a picture of a simple image in photoshop at 100% and the same file opened in preview right next to it, you can see the file in preview is much larger than photoshop is showing it.   Thanks for any help!whitney  

I see a lot of threads about this.Well, the other day I actually had a tech from Adobe on the line, and after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, he admitted, "It's a Photoshop issue".Apparently they are looking into it, just not quick enough. It is unfortunate because it seriously affects our ability to work effectively in Photoshop as you don't get the mostly accurate visual sizing.We can only hope... Come on Adobe, FIX IT!!!

Below is an example of how my selection fill works. Instead of doing a hard black fill, it does a gradient of black to white up to the selection. How do I make it fully black, and stop at the selection? 

No matter what options I select in Contact Sheet II I only get one image per page. I does create a page with one image and then a blue outline dances around the screen. The only way out is to end the process. It's working just fine in version 26.3.0. My version that is not working is 26.7. Any help would be appreciated.

I need help with my brush settings! PLEASE!  I have been running PS 2020 for a while now and have had no issues — but when I updated to PS 2023I cannot get the brush tool to behave in the same way! The problem when I use PS 2023 is that the brush doesn't completely fill in with the color — there is a ring around it that is still unfilled.BUT! In PS 2020 the brush color fills the circle all the way to the edge of the brush outline (the full dimensions aka: 250px).  I am not using a tablet — just a mouse — so it isn't "pen pressure" or something like that.WTH is going on here? There is a setting somewhere but I can't find it! I have opened both versions side-by-side and checked all the brush settings but they are set exactly the same, so it must be some other setting menu that I can't find. I am on an iMac.

I get this error (Could not complete your request because the file was not found.) when I want to open photoshop. I first open photoshop this popup appears and when I press ok button then photoshop will close again.I have searched on the internet and all suggest to reset preference, but how do I reset it while photoshop does not open at all, is there any solution for this error I get? 

I'm familiar with image > transform rotate, scale  etc. So when setting a transform, I can change the reference point by Ctrt T and tehn dragging the centre to wherever I want it. So far so good.If I want to set it numerically, I have to move the reference point and then type in centre X, centre Y and rotation angle. Up until that moment it assumes that those values are it's transform location. The only difference being is that the centre of the grid of 9 squares is left unfilled:So without offsetting the reference point first (which seem counter-intuitive if you are putting in numeric values)ORtoggling the reference point location every and then back on again (v annoying)Is there a keyboard shortcut or button for this?   

Почему у меня увеличивается оперативная память (RAM) до 20 гигабайтов, когда я особо ничего не деалю в фотошопе, всего лишь потянул шифтом текст, чтобы увеличить его по холсту и попросту набирает, не опускаясь. 

its untrusted file ,could you pls send me the compressed file setup ?

I’ve got photos in a serie but the color tone of the photos is not quite the same. Is it possible in Photoshop to point to one photo and the other photos will adjust to that color tone? If no, is there another program for this opportunity/wish?

I've been on this for 5 hours straight now and read a lot.This i what I want to do I put text just from the outlines from another layer. I´m doing as Google says. I choose both layers and go to the layer menu, and then it diffuses what I need to do. i atach the file here for. but my dont have background of course. It´s a tshirt design im working on.Take care  

I have extensively customized my preferences, keyboard shortcuts and toolbar. With Keyboard shortcuts, I often overwrite a default shortcut, either of the particular action or the keyboard shortcut of another action. I then click Accept.  At some point while using PS, I will attempt to use a keyboard shortcut and it no longer works. In fact none of the custom ones work. PS has without any notice switched back to using the default keyboard shortcut. The same thing happens to preferences. This is happening multiple times/session. I deleted PS and reinstalled it and it still happens. I've tried the different version of PS. It still happens.  There's no notification from PS. I find out when I look at the list of recent docs and find it too short. I find out when a keyboard shortcut no longer works.  What's going on????? There is nothing in the log files of a change in the source of the keyboard or general settings.  Help Please. I've worked continuou

question says it all. I was working on a script to toggle between the layer and the layer mask selection, but I was unable to find a way to check which one is currently selected.

Hi, Thanks to all who took part in our last, 'Prickly Issue', challenge. We had a great range of entries with both still images and animations.   'Time and tide wait for no man', says the old proverb. So for this week, I bring you a picture of Staithes, a lovely village on the North Yorkshire coast of England. Can you show us what it might look like when the tide retreats? The “rules”: Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry. Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc. Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”. There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

Hi All, I hope this is going to be a quick fix... dont know why Adobe have to change thing that work really well. But when I'm using the brush tool and need select a diffrent colour, I hold down "option " eyedropper shows up the then select the colour I looking for... But it assigns it to the background pannel which it never did before this update,  It always put the new colour on the forground pannel which made perfect sence.So you have to keep switching the pannels, I hope Im missing a quick fix here 🙂 

I just upgraded to Pshop 26.7.0 and Geretate Image/Fill is greyed out. Right in the middle of a project. What gives here ?    

I just bought a base model surface laptop 7 and I'm having trouble understanding what's going on when I switch color profiles. I'm using a display p3 tagged image from a wide gamut test website and viewing it in Microsoft photo viewer and photoshop simultaneously. The laptop has two individually calibrated color profiles--vivid and srgb. When set to vivid, the image looks as follows with a vibrant red around the w in both programs: when set to srgb, the image in photo viewer demonstrates what I think should be the expected behavior and shows a uniform, less vibrant red with no w while photoshop shows a less vibrant red background and an even less vibrant w still apparent (incidentally this is how it behaves in chrome as well): I'm trying to understand what's going on and how to fix it if it needs fixing.Srgb tagged images look the same between the two programs in vivid mode but photoshop displays them with washed out colors when in srgb mode while photo viewer still shows the same imag

I have noticed recently that when I select a text area and I am changing it I am unable to see the change until i click away from it. This just started happening.... In better words, if I had text that said GRAND OPENING and I select it and type GRAND OPENING JULY 10th, I do not see the changes until I click on another tool or hit esc.. Usually you can see what your typing as you do it... Any ideas what I did wrong

I am a full-on CC subscriber; not in trial mode.  I'm using Photoshop 19 (in the version of CC that updated in November 2017).  Every time I hover my mouse over a tool that I haven't used yet, a gigantic video tutorial popup pops up that shows me how to use the tool.  I've been using Photoshop since version 2.0, before there were layers; I know my way around the toolbar. How do I disable this "feature?"While I'm at it, there was some other video popup that tried to get me to learn how to place an image on an object in Dimension.  If I'm interested in using Dimension, I'll use it; I don't need you taking up my screen and brain space pointing it out.  How do I disable this "feature," as well?Thanks.

Hi everyone,I have hundreds of SuperPaint files created in the late 1990s and early 2000s that were just recovered off an old MacMini. I also have SuperPaint diskettes. The Mac mini is damaged and may not be repairable.That being said, I am trying to find a way to get them into a current program, like Photoshop. My last resort is to locate an older Mini with MacOS 10.4, a compatible diskette drive, and install SuperPaint. Then I would open up and save every file as a PICT file. I think Photoshop can still open those up.If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear. And if I get a solution, I will post it because there have to be many more SuperPaint enthusiasts who sadly miss their no longer compatible files. In fact, since SuperPaint was the next generation after the famous MacPaint, I think this story is historically significant. I even wonder if the Computer History Museum in Mountain View collects experts who know about these older, historically important software programs. I had a

Hi Guys, I couldn't find any change to complete the pattern in the blank. Generative fill is not capable of my tries. 

I am running Windows 10 and am considering purchasing a large UHD (4K) monitor, such as the NEC PA322 UHD.  The smallest I would consider would be a 27 inch monitor.  Do you anticipate that I would encounter any scaling problems running Photoshop CS6 with either of these monitors? My computer is a Dell XPS 8700 desktop with an i7 processor, and a AMD Radeon R9 270 graphics card. It's clear that people who are using small laptops with UHD monitors have encountered scaling problems with Photoshop. Does anyone anticipate encountering scaling issues with larger monitors. I see that some individuals have found slow performance when using a MAC in conjunction with the PA322 UHD. Does anyone have experience using either a 27 or 32 inch UHD monitor with a PC in Photoshop? Thank you for your help.Jack McEwan

My Photoshop 2024 window is bigger than my Mac screen so I can't reach the Trash, new layer etc. buttons. Can someone tell me how to resize it. Thank you.  

I upgraded to Photoshop v. 25.1 and now the Generative Fill dialog box is grayed out -- both in the contextual task bar and in the edit menu.  I have reset the preferences, and have uninstalled and reinstalled the app.  But it is always grayed out.  It worked in the Beta version for me. Have I overlooked something in setup?

Macbook Air M3, 8GB, 15inch 2024Photoshop memory usage grows by 10MB per second with no files open. Photoshop has become unuasble. Not great considering my job is at least 50% Photoshop use. This session I lost some work because I had to Force Quit PS yet again (numerous times a day) because I had waited 10 mins for a flat file to save. It has hung at 93%. I've tried going back to 2024 and there is a small improvement. I'm back to 2025 because I uninstalled all PS versions and then installed 2025 again to see if it made a difference. I've attached a video of Activity Monitor showing Photoshop's increasing memory usage. I have no files open in Photoshop while this video taken.
