For the longest time now I have lost the pixels shown on the cursor when using the Marquee Tool.I used to measure with the marquee tool to see the distances between fonts or other gutter/margins. I don't understand how it got lost and all the videos and google searches only end up with people just casually having it but nobody seems to lost it/have it missing/missing it. Could anyone please help me!

My work chiefly involves compositing.  One problem I encounter frequently is blurring based on depth of field.  I may want to extract an element from an image in my database to incorporate into a new image.  Sometimes, I'll have an element that works well except that it is slightly out of focus because of depth of field.  Often, I can overcome that using various tools available in Photoshop.  (I find the texture feature in Camera Raw to be particularly effective in enhancing the apparent sharpness of slightly blurred areas.)  I've been seeing quite a few advertisements for AI powered sharpening plugins (e.g., from Topaz).  I'm wondering if any of you has had experience with sharpening  (detail extraction) software that offers any significant capability beyond Photoshop's own native capability.

I am creating logos in which I need a transparent background. I have searched many forums including this one and all the answers diddnt work. I require a step by step (every step) approach to ensure that I get a transparent background.I have tried saving an EPS file through illistrator and Photoshop. They all turn out to give a white background.Thanks in advance for your time.

Windows 10/11Photoshop Ver. 26.1 or laterIllustrator Ver. 24 (confirmed as 24.3)   When Illustrator Ver. 24 is started with these combinations, an unknown error [CANT] is displayed in Illustrator, and then operations such as creating a new file cannot be performed.Also, a crash report will be displayed when exiting Illustrator.   This problem does not occur in Photoshop Ver. 26.0 or lower.The same error does not occur at startup in other versions of Illustrator (Ver. 16 to 29).This problem seems to be caused by Photoshop.   Although Illustrator is an unsupported version, it is still a problem when an application that should have nothing to do with Photoshop stops working properly.   --- Original text (Japanese): Windows 10/11Photoshop Ver.26.1以降Illustrator Ver.24（確認は24.3）   これらの組み合わせでIllustrator Ver.24を起動した場合、Illustratorで不明なエラー[CANT]が表示され、その後、ファイルの新規作成などの動作が行えなくなります。またIllustrator終了時にクラッシュレポートが表示されます。   Photoshop Ver.26.0以下では発生しません。Illustrator のその他のバージョン（Ve

helloafter updating to the newest version of Photoshop I have encountered these 2 problems.I followed a thread posted back in January to see if I could solve the issue, but it appears that the post wasn't fixed either. I followed all instructions on the troubleshooting page and I have had no success.please help solve this not just for me but quite a lot of others who are experiencing the same issues

Since Photoshop version 25.6 and above, on the Windows 10 operating system, using the keyboard shortcut for zooming in on an image, i.e., Ctrl+Alt+SPACE, causes all buttons in Photoshop to become unresponsive. This issue occurs 100% of the time on my computer. I had to downgrade to version 25.5.1. The problem still exists in the latest version 25.9.1, which has caused me a great deal of trouble. I hope you can resolve this issue. Thank you.

Tonight I tried to create a "blue sky" prompt with generative fill in Photoshop. I made a selection of the dancer, inverted it and tried to create a Blue Sky behind her instead of the studio. I keep getting an error that I have violated Adobe guidelines. I called up Adobe technical support and they encountered the same violation issue. They suspect that the program detected a lot of skin in the subject and thought that it might be a nude. As you can see, it is not. I haven't been able to do a workaround except to substitute a blue gradient (see attached photo), which is not very believable. Please help! Thanks,Charlie

I'm on a Windows 10 laptop, and always use the latest ACR and Photoshop versions.As a matter of pure science, does it make any difference at all whether I edit files in Adobe Camera RAW or Photoshop before exporting to high-quality jpgs?

I'm using the latest Photoshop 2025 on a Windows 10 laptop.  I have a script that I use with file - automate - batch which converts RAW files to jpgs.  It will only work with 400 files.  If I have more than 400 files in the source directory, after it processes the 400th file, the process stops with an error messgae  - something like "too many open files."  Is ther some way to increase the limit?

This seems to be a problem that just happened recently with my Photoshop, where all curly apostrophe’s have like two extra spaces around them. This doesn’t happen in Indesign or Illustrator, and occurs with all fonts. I’ve turned Smart Quotes on or off and doesn’t make a difference. It’s actually worse with Smart Quotes on because it refuses to let me insert straight apostrophe’s from the glyphs panel, and selects the curly version by itself. Is there a setting I'm overlooking to disable it?

Hello everyone! I can't get any of my brushes to work from my CC Library. I've tried from inside the libraries panel in photoshop, and I've tried from my library on the website -- I click, I double-click, right-click, all the clicks I can think of -- nothing happens.  Images and textures load beautifully from the library, but brushes do nothing. What am I doing wrong? Thank you so much! INTEL-based iMac (NOT an M1) running Monterey 12.2.1, Photoshop v. 23.2.1

Perhaps I am missing something, but when I press CTRL T to transform raster pixels, I get this insanely stupid alert. No, I'm not trying to edit a path. WTF? When I go to the edit settings, there are only options for transforming paths.  Yes, I'm on the correct layer. Yes, it is unlocked. Yes, I'm 100% the pixels are within the selection. This is some BS Photoshop issue. This update of photoshop SUCKS. I hate how they consolidated A HUGE AMOUNT of tools into a seperate bar. WTF, WHY?   

Hi there,  I've been getting this error message "The service is not responding. Please check your internet and try again" constantly since last week. It was working perfectly before then on the beta version. I've tried deleting the beta version and work with Photoshop v25.0 which has generative ai function but keep getting stuck at 100%. On top of that, it seems to work randomly when I connect to my phone's hotspot but it fails again after a few minutes. I'm on a mac and I've tried to disable the firewall as suggested by some people but still doesn't seem to work.  Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all,I've updated to Photoshop v.26.7.0 on Windows 10 Pro, using an Nvidia K1200 graphics card.I'm trying to use the new Select People option in the Object Selection Tool. While people are correctly recognized, when I choose individual parts like eyes, eyebrows, ears, etc., the tool outlines the correct areas  but after clicking "Apply," no selection is actually made.I've tried with several different images, but the issue persists.

It works fine using the keyboard arrows. When I try, it only moves one of the layers. Or, it moves the bottom layer (AKA background layer).

I am posting this as a bug, but I hope soemone has an answer.  The last discussions i see are rom Arch 2023.I a running PS  26.6.1.  Ever since I updated, every file I open comes up as a floating window.  I have set "Open Documents as Tabs" bu to no avail.  I have restarted PS, restarted my Mac (running Sonoma 14.7.6).  Nada!!I have to go into Arrange and Consolidate to Tabs on every file I open.  Very frustrating. Any ideas, ayone??

I work on 2 montors and am able to use #2.  Obviously I hit some keys accidentally as #1 monitor retained the photo I was working on and thr ruler bars are on the top and side, but about 1/4 the original size.  Everything else is gone. Even the taskbar with I kept at the bottom of the screen.  The Start icon (at the far left on the taskbar) is the only shortcut left on #2. That and Chrome which I have open.  I've tried the F9 key to no avail. Actually pressed all the F keys but nothing happens.  I've brought up Photoshop 2025 on thr Start icon and pressed it twice while holding down Shift-Ctrl-Alt and the items I use on #2 popped up (tool bar, patterns, color, brushes, etc) but no menu bar on #1. Actually I would like all three bars.  I can also get these by right clicking on the #1 screen.  I am totally at a loss.  Can anyone tell me how to get the menu bar back on monitor #1?

I do appreciate, so I have to say THANKS to Adobe Photoshop Team to continue updating V25.12. and now it's v25.12.3.So [in my case] v25 is the more stable version. I do have a pretty powerful PC, but since I tried V26, it had to many bugs, so I had to go back to v25.12,. from what I can read on the community, bugs are still their and more..So hopefully in a near future it will a option to jump in the newer version...But for now it's way too much work and time consuming to take that chance. I know, I trust you Adobe, you can do it. Thanksbenoit  

Hi I have a Adobe CC photography plan and need to disable AI generative tools for Photography Club competition rules but cannot find how to turn it off or to disable using firefly when using the remove tool for example in photoshop. any one able to offer advice?

Is it possible to upload an image to Instagram that fhas a transparent background? I have a .png file that when viewed has rounded corners. It works fine but when posted to Instagram I get the transparency replaced with a colour. I can’t set this to a specific colour as the image sits on either a grey or red background. If it is possible what file format should I use?

Literally, the like 4 reasons to pay for this mid service and they all break. I noticed this one broke after complaining in another forum that they removed and blocked me from posting because they apparently don't like people bringing up valid reasons as to why their products don't work. All I said btw was "the AI fill keeps assuming something is se__ual when it isn't, which they got offended by, but why get offended when it's your service insinuating it? Then you block people from even discussing it here? Sorry, is objectified a better word?I sat in chat support yesterday for an hour being told to go over their guidelines, and I asked the "real life human" not bot chat what guideline I broke for the womans hair not being appropriate (rofl) and they had no answer and left me on read for like 30 minutes and said "I really wish I could help you".... then all of a sudden now none of my stuff is working and I'm blacklisted from posting on my other account... This company is incredibly

I opened a CR2 in Photoshop and removed someone from a picture also some other edits. Still keeping that photo open I then I went to file open as Smart Object and I navigated back to the same CR2 and when I opened it all the edits had been applied to the CR2 so I saved it as a DNG with the edits. Is this known or something new/qlitch?? Maybe Im a newbie 🤪Photoshop 26.6.1Macos Sonoma 14.6.1

(MBP M3 Max, OS 15.3.2, Ps 26.5.0 for desktop)I have Pantone Connect (paid subscription). The plug-in used to be available in Ps, but now after a recent update, it isn't. I'm running Ps with Rosetta. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Pantone Connect, and restarted the machine, but no PMS color love. Marketplace says Pantone Connect is installed, and I can use it in Illustrator and InDesign. Any thoughts or suggestions to fix this are appreciated. My co-workers are getting new machines soon and they will encounter this as well. I hope I can offer a solution. IT won't be much help with this sort of thing.  So far my workaround has been to copy/paste a color from Ai to eyedropper in Ps, but this won't be ideal if I need a specific PMS color. (TBH, I think I might just reinstall the old PMS palettes. Connect is helpful but the color picker is hinky. I wish they would put the color number on the swatch so I don't have to hover in juuust the right place to see it. And I'm
