Hi.I/m using Sequoia 15.3.1 (24D70) system and Adobe Psd 2026 (but issues I had also in the previous version) on Apple M4 with 16GB memory.For some time I'm experiencing an issue with Vector Smart Objects. When I edit the graphics in the Illustrator VSO suddenly misplace randomly the elements of the graphics – they move slightly (or jump to a different position or dissapear) even though the artwork and artboard size haven’t changed. Even having the artboard size exactly the same as VSO in the Psd.After closing the file in Illustrator and reopening it, making some minor change, and saving – proper display comes back. So – VSO doesn't affect the real position of the elements, only displays them inappropriately. This behavior didn’t occur in previous versions. Has anyone else experienced this? Any known workaround or official fix from Adobe?

Had this issue at least twice. Photoshop does not open the dialog, but just sits in the background. In fact if you look at task manager [PC] you can see it running with 0% resources, and if you try it again, a second or more instance will be running, but nothing on screen. It appears as though the issue is the graphics process, but you cannot get to the preferances panel to change it GPU settings, memory use, etc. The fix for me was this:1. Uninstall Photoshop - you probably need to restart computer to do this2. Restart computer3. Install Photoshop4. Start photoshop and go to edit preferance set GPU off5. If you exit photoshop before setting these preferances, you will not be able to restart it6. exit PS restart computer 

When in drawing using the brush tool with any colour, if I stop drawing and start again and then go over the lines again the colour will be black but only if it is over the same colour.

Hi Adobe Folks,I am very interested in turning an image into a series of dots. I want to have the same size dots but just clustered differently if possible. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this with Adobe software? Any suggestions would be appreciated! 

I just updated my Mac OS to ventura, opened photoshop and tried to keep my workflow... but when I try to Save for web an error message appears "Could not complete this operation. A write permissions error has ocurred". I already reset photoshop preferences, increased memory usage on photoshop preferences, restarted my mac and looked at community threads, but I do not use or have installed Dropbox. I also tried to Save for web on my google drive, same error.

"Creative Cloud All Apps, will be renamed to Creative Cloud Pro and enhanced with new value."  I see this promise doesn't extend to grammar or punctuation.Not annoyed, just very very very dissapointed, Adobe.    

I’ve noticed that the colors I choose in my designs or projects often reflect how I’m feeling that day — bright, bold tones when I’m energized, softer palettes when I’m in a calmer mood.Do you notice your personal mood influencing the colors or styles in your Adobe projects? Or do you stick to a specific palette regardless? Would love to hear how others let emotions shape their creativity.

We really need a counter for generative Ai fill credits showing us how many we have left inside of photoshop.I would really like to see this implemented into Photoshop so we know how much credits we are using. 

Here image is placed on a text. Either clipping mask of a image or blending mode of screen gives the same result. Is these two considered as a same effect or different effect? video is uploaded as well.  

Please Help  

Hi, since updating to Photoshop 2026 the remove tool has become unstable. It works and processes the request however after running photoshop for a few hours it stops.  The remove tool either doesn't progress or progresses part way then stops. Computer restart has fixed the issue temporarily.  Any thoughts or ideas on to fix please let me know. Many thanks

I am using Photoshop 2024 (25.12.4). Normally the stroke width is limited to 32px in the shape properties and 250px in a layer style. However, I have sometimes been able to set a width larger than 32px in the Properties panel, but I have absolutely no idea what allowed me to. Can someone explain this? In what circumstances will shape layer properties panel allow entry of a number greater than 32?

Hi there, I recentley started using Photoshop 2024 after upgrading from PS 2017, so a lot of changes. So far so good, but one thing I'm missing is the save progress window that used to pop up when a save was in progress. I now have to leave full screen view and sit the image in a window to see the save in progress. Is this a new way of doing things, or is my PS broken?  I am using a Mac Studio M2 Max 64Gb OS Ventura 13.5. Many thanks, Jamie

Hi, I started using the PS today, but couldn't get too far.I tried to create a file, which I need for college, but nothing happens. This is the setting. Note here, it does let me create 8bit file.I am using a gaming laptop, Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3. I should have memory left at least 50GB. Thanks,Jenni. 

My client wants the back logo placed on a white T-shirt, but the logo has a checkered background that he wants to keep and blend naturally into the fabric. Right now it looks like a hard square sitting on top of the shirt instead of blending in. What is the best way in Photoshop to blend a checkered PNG background into a white T-shirt so it looks natural and not like a block?

I have just built a new Windows 11 computer and installed PS 2025. Now the "save as" dialogue box keeps opening in the top left corner and no matter how many times I drag it to the centre, the next time I "Cntr/shift/s" it opens in the top left corner again.This is extremely anoying and uncomfortable.Anybody have a solution

why is photoshop version 26 now bad at AI? is version 27 much different? Since the new version came out, I can't create realistic images with AI. It used to be pretty good, now it's extremely artificial and inaccurate. Am I wrong?

Anyone getting this error on the lattest Photoshp release 24.0.0? I'm constantly getting this issue. 

I've been searching all night, not a single answer I can find and it's driving me crazy!

Hello!I'm encountering some issues while using the Camera Raw Filter in Photoshop. At first it seemed to happen while hovering over the presets (preview), but then it also occurred while adjusting some general sliders or just switching between some masks. The interface becomes unresponsive and/or visually "scrambled", with overlapping or misaligned sections, and in some sessions. Usually the filter freezes entirely. The following error types appeared in the logs (I'll provide further if you let me know what else is needed, it has a good repro rate):*** Error: Unexpected re-entrancy in RedrawMonitor -- skipping *** *** Error: Unexpected re-entrancy in RedrawMonitor -- skipping *** [...repeats] *** Error: GetCorrectionValues - Out of range group index *** *** Error: GetCorrectionValues - Out of range group index ***I had the same workflow on an older laptop (7+ years old) with far more modest specs, and surprisingly, the Camera Raw Filter performed better — with no freezes or redraw

Hello.  I've been attempting to use Photoshop CC to stack images.  I have a camera that can utilize focus bracketing. I recently tried to stack 99 focus bracketed images, with a very small focus differential, with horrible results in Photoshop CC.  The process was: 1) auto-align; 2) auto-blend; 3) flatten layers. Below is the result of my stacked image. The result should have been a sharp picture from front to back. What I got was gobs of blur everywhere. Wasn't expecting such poor results from Adobe. Please, if anyone has any useful input/advice, I'd be very grateful!
