Long time power used here. In 24.7.0on Mac OS 13.1Mac Book Pro 16-inch 2021 M1 Max When on a layer or layer mask and using a keyboard shortcut to select another tool the program switches to the tool but then immediately switches back to the previous tool selected. Each time I use the quick key to try and switch it continues to switch back over and over again. I have to completely click out of the layer I am on or the layer mask I am in to clear the issue or manually click the other tool. Seems to only be an issue when using a key board shortcut for that tools. It doesnt matter what tool I'm in, it seems to happen on every tool. It happens the most when I'm on a mask and trying to paint on a mask. Restarting the program or full computer restart does not fix the issue. This just popped up in my most recent upgrade to 24.7.0.   

I often used this action set in the past.  But not recently.  Yesterday was was working in Photoshop 26.10.0 using the firefly 3.0 tools.  Decided to try the old Watercolor Action set on the image produced in Firefly 3.0.  The result was nothing like I used to see with this action set. I was in the Creative Cloud for a least an hour this morning trying to locate a new version of the watercolor action if a new version exists.  No success. Has Adobe discontinued this action set? If a new action set exists, where is it? Thanks  

L'année dernière, j'ai enregistré un fichier pour le web au format PNG, et cette année, en suivant exactement la même procédure, le résultat est différent. Je trouve que l'image est plus agressive cette année et je ne comprends pas pourquoi les couleurs ont changé. J’ai joint deux fichiers pour que vous puissiez voir la différence. Est-ce que quelqu'un sait ce qui pourrait provoquer ce changement ?

Since I got a new desktop and installed Photoshop version 25.12.3, the pixel thickness specified for my pencil no longer matches the actual width. For example, when I enter "1 px" in the box next to the pencil, I get a line 2 pixels thick. With higher values, e.g., 4, 5, or 12 px, the lines are always 2 pixels thicker than the specified value. How do I ensure that the specified value matches the actual width?Thank you in advance for your response. Anneke

I did a lot of retouching work and suddenly couldn't save my file. When I save it, I get an error"Could not save because of a disk error (-1)."Now I can't close Photoshop without losing the work I've done. Please help me to solve the problem.There is no choice of where to save the files, the error message appears immediately. Adobe has full disk access in the settings. The RAW files I'm working with are on an external disk. I have been working from it all day and have been saving files without any problems. The external ssd drive and the system disk have a lot of free space.I tried to open files from the system drive in Photoshop - still the same - nothing is saved. Also tried creating and saving a file in photoshop. No kind of files can be saved.I have macOS Monterey 12.3, M1, Photoshop was updated 3 days ago.

Hi,when I open a RAW file in photoshop, I apply a b&w layer and then a camera raw filter, I obtain a completely red image.I tried to open the same RAW file in photoshop, applying the camera raw filter only (thus without the b&n layer) and everything seems to be working fine.The problem seems to be related to the b&w layer.All my apps are updated to the last version, working on a windows 11 system.Is there any way to fix the problem?Many thanks for your support.... ps. the image shows my screen with the above described problem 

When I try using the clone stamp or healing tool, once I click to sample the layer becomes inactive. It's set to sample all layers. Tried looking at all possibilities but can't activate the layer once it's sampled. 

The file I'm trying to open was able to open about 2 weeks ago. Now I keep getting the pop up message that says it couldn't open because of an error. The error wasn't there when I last saved the file. It's PSB file. I've tried the suggestions from the "Learn how to fix, "Photoshop could not complete your request because of a program error" when opening or saving files" posting on the Adobe website. Nothing worked.I've also tried opening the file on another device. It keeps giving the same error message.  Another file that I had saved on the same day as the one that now won't open can open. I don't know what happened to the file that supposedly has an error.  I don't want to have to completely restart from scratch. 

Hello,  I have a problem which I can only work around by restarting PS. But it happens about every 10 minutes, it is really frustrating and I can't find a solution. When I am working at first there is no problem at all. Sometimes I can work for an hour straight without any problems, other times it happens after a couple of minutes.  The Problem is that PS starts to Stutter when zooming in or out. It can even zoom in or out all the way to the max, so far that the canvas is so small (or big) that I can't even see it anymore.  Also when I grap the canvas to move it, the whole canvas jumps back to the place where I initially grapped it.  The second problem that occurs when the above happens is that my other tools start to freak out. For example: If I have a brush selected and I paint somewhere PS creates all kinds of random lines over my canvas.  I've attatched a short video to this report which shows the problem. Version: 26.0.0 (it i

I've been experiencing this bug in all version of CS so far. It hasn't been fixed by any update. When placing an .ai vector smart object in Photoshop the object gets automatically distorted. Instead of placing at 100% on both horizontal and vertical axes it gets randomly distorted. This is a serious issue when using logos or other branding artwork where it's critical for it to be in proportion. I've also noticed that if I delete an element from the .ai file the smart object distorts even more severely once it updates, even though the artboard is unchanged and the outermost edges of vector art are also identical. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I recently tried to install my version of photoshop CS6 on a new laptop. However. After downloading and installing the files and entering the serial provided by my adobe account. It says invalid serial number.This is not a software issue. Everything was working on windows 10 on my old laptop, and the 30 day trial version has no problem running on the new laptop.The serial number has been verified as valid by online support. I was told to deactivate the software on the old laptop. So this has already been done. I know the software is not supported anymore. But the issue is not the software. The issue seems to be the online serial validation not accepting a working serial. Any help would be very much appreciated.Best RegardsChristian

I have an action that runs a few plug-ins, NIK, Luminar and On1. Today, when I tried running the action and when it gets to Luminar, I was getting an alert about "Luminar can't be run", or words to that effect. So I deleted the Luminar plugin part of the action and then tried to re-record that filter, now, the space with that plugin is left blank, (no description). It does work, it's just weird that there is no descriptor there. I have reset the setting for Photoshop, deleted and reloaded Luminar, but still with the same issue.PS 26.10.0, Mac Studio M4 Max,Thanks in advance.  

hey guys, from this morning. i am having a removal tool issue. some times it's working, but mostly not. crashing the app after i canccel or it's automatic after a long wait. What to do? 

When working in the Photoshop Web App I'm unable to change the font that I am working with on Text layers.  The workflow I'm using is: Click the Text Layer button > Use the curser to click where I want the text > Type my text > Highlight my text > Try to change the font.  I am able to change color and size of the text without problem, but not the font. I tried changing from the mobile toolbar as well as from layer properties. I tried closing and relaunching my browser, clearing my cache, logging out and back in, creating a new project, and restarted my computer. The issue persists through it all. I've attached a video to display the issue.  Any advice is welcome!

In a file with 2 large artboards, the background of each board had a circular gradient. When exporting, the circular gradient changed to linear and I couldn't export the original design without first rasterizing the layer so that it wouldn't generate a change in the design. En un archivo con 2 mesas de trabaja de gran tamaño, en cada mesa el fondo tenia degradado circular, al exportgar el degradado circular cambio a lineal y no pude exportar el diseño original sin antes rasterizar la capa para que no generara un cambio en el diseño.

Hi, See attached .psd file, generated by PTGui. It contains an XMP section with the following GPS location: <exif:GPSVersionID>2.2.0.0</exif:GPSVersionID><exif:GPSLatitude>51,55.8650N</exif:GPSLatitude><exif:GPSLongitude>4,28.2967W</exif:GPSLongitude>Photoshop's File - Info shows this incorrectly as 51.0 and 4.0. I think the XMP data is formatted according to spec:GPSCoordinate A Text value in the form “DDD,MM,SSk” or “DDD,MM.mmk”, where: DDD is a number of degrees MM is a number of minutes SS is a number of seconds mm is a fraction of minutes k is a single character N, S, E, or W indicating a direction (north, south, east, west) Leading zeros are not necessary for the for DDD, MM, and SS values. The DDD,MM.mmk form should be used when any of the native EXIF component rational values has a denominator other than 1. There can be any number of fractional digits.​

 I bought some Grut Brushes awhile ago, and now I have hundreds of brush tip shapes in my Brush Settings; is there any way to organize them? I don't know how they are currently organized, doesn't appear to be alphabetical or any other way I've noticed, and there will be multiples of the same brush tip with just different sizes dozens of spots away from each other. IE: "Grut - PT Pebbles 03" is 30 spots away from "Grut - PT Pebbles 02". I wanted to play around with these and create my own brushes but they are extremely diffcult to navigate, or am I completely mistaken and that's not what these are there for?  

Hi Everyone,This crashing has been happening since I started using the AI type features like Deghost or any masking that uses the AI component.  I've been cruising all of the Crash posts and have tried everything mentioned with no success so now I need help.  I am running on Windows 11 ver 24H2.  Things I have done; 1. Made sure just one GPU is available - new nVidia RTX 5060 - Compatible.2. Downloaded newest Photoshop 26.13. Updated Bridge and Creative Cloud4. Updated nVidia Driver to latest.5. Deleted all preferences on Camera Raw6. Checked for available memory with no issues - 32GB installed7. No other conflicting TSR or start-up programs that are monitoring file changes.8. Confirmed that photoshop.exe and sniffer.exe is listed under the 3D programs within nVidia control panel Please let me know if I've missed something that I should have also checked.  I attach the System info dump from Photoshop below; Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.10.0 202508

何度も設定を削除して起動しなおしているが、一向によくならないadobe製品の信頼性は何とかならないのか？？もっと堅牢で整合されたUIのスマートな製品を望む。バカ高い金を取ってるんだからそれくらいしろ。

My brushes keep disappearing, for absolutely no reason. It's the second time this has happened. It's not now blank and i have no idea how to get them back.

In Clip Studio and Illustrator CS6 too, there’s a very convenient copy and paste function like Ctrl+C copies selected layers and folders to a clipboard, and Ctrl+V pastes them exactly in place. This is especially useful if I forget to save the original image. For example, I can copy the current state of a layer or group of layers with Ctrl+C, then go back to an earlier point in my workflow and paste the layers I’ve been working on, almost like a time machine. Photoshop CS6 doesn’t have this. Does anyone know of a script that can achieve the same thing?

This might be a simple question, I don't know, but I use to be able to select a layer beneath another with the move tool. Now I can't. I was trying to figure this out on Chat GPT, but it kept saying to select the "Auto-select" check box in the options bar. The problem is, I'm not seeing it there (or in the three dots, or in the gear icon). So how to I turn the Auto-select back on? Thanks!

So I know how to create a path and type along the path, but then the text is just all kinds of messed up, typing backwards, half the words showing up on the bottom of the curved path I'd made. What am I doing wrong here?
