Hi,A PSD file was corrupted while saving (PC crashed).It can't be opened. It says:Couldn't open  "File.PSD" because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop.Of course I hadn't changed the version.The file is big enough, I mean the information is in there, probably there was a small mistake.  It was a whole day work, please help!

Been trying to use this tool /shortcuts  I have it working but I am not getting a new layer all the repeats are on one layer I understand I should get each new copy on a new layer using CS6 on a PC does anyone know why I am not getting new layers for each copy?

When I try to make a selection then command + J, to duplicate that selection, I keep on getting the error below:Here is a shot of the selection:I can restart photoshop then it goes away for a bit, then just comes back. Any fixes?

Anyone else having this issue? When retouching, occasionally the H key short cut needs repeated presses (maybe 3-4) before the tool switches to Hand and stays there. For the first 2-3 presses, it switches to the Hand tool briefly before switching back. I use this a lot since I've had issues with Space Bar registration in the past, adn you can end up (for example) moving a heal layer half way through and not realising until you zoom out and see all your old heal adjustments are in the wrong place. I can't recreate it on demand but will try and get a video of it. PS 26.4.1OSX 14.6.1M3 Pro Macbook Pro with 36GB memory, nothig else significant open and no tasks using much resource in Activity Monitor.

Very often I experience when a person (not naked) is in the picture with e.g. free shoulders and I want to optimize the background (remove person, fill background, etc.) the AI function is blocked and refers to the fact that I am violating the rules.As a portrait photographer, I fail with almost every 2nd picture because of these rules, just because a person is depicted. Since the existence of AI, I have been giving feedback with the AI masks shown outside the people, but for a year now nothing has changed or AI is getting better when it comes to recognizing changes IN people or BEHIND people.When will it get betterTranslated with DeepL.com (free version)

I'm on a MacBook Pro with Ventura 13.5.2. When using Photoshop 2024 and trying to drag the window, it hides behind other open apps. Here is a video: https://www.loom.com/share/f7c8e79fbd674ac2bfdf66c42c79b25a?sid=3bc94cd0-c504-41f9-842a-17b4b03251fd

Hello Apologies if this is in the wrong area.  I recently redownloaded Photoshop as I now have access to it again via my job. However, it runs extremely poorly on my home PC. Borderline unuseable. The only way I can describe is... it's as if it's running at about 3 fps. And it crashes, CONSTANTLY from the smallest things, like appying a noise filter for example. I've used Photoshop in the past on this exact set-up, the exact same machine, no specs have changed. So im not sure why it's suddenly struggling. I've tried reinstalling, clearing the cache, allocating the recommended 80% ish ram. I have 32GB ram and allocated photoshop about 20GB if it needs it. But it never used more than about 3GB. Unchecking GPU accelaration and re-checking At first I thought it just be because Im working on a large canvas. I'm a graphic designer so sometimes work on A1 size canvas. But I have the same issues with A4/5.  If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!&

Hello, here is my problem :I calibrated my HP z24x old monitor with the Spyder 5 Express in sRGB colorspace.This calibration created an ICC profile used by default from Windows.A friend of mine has all the same softwares as me without calibration done and using the basic icc sRGB profile in windows.The picture attached displays Dark in the bushes for him on Chrome / Davinci / Photoshop Whereas for me it displays Dark in the bushes only on Chrome and Davinci.if I disable my icc profile created from the calibration, it displays correctly in all software.I also have a mac on the side to check how the picture appears on web + apps + photoshop and it s supposed to be dark.So my problem comes from the ICC profile and Adobe softwares that seem to display correct srgb picture but without understanding the Display transform from the monitor.For exemple when I switch from the classic sRGB IE61966-2.1 ICC profile to the one created by the calibration, I can see photoshop quickly applying a c

Let me clarify upfront—I'm only referring to still photography here. I've been using the TK Print Panel for a while, but after updating Photoshop to v 25.12.3, the panel has started acting up. This happened after repeatedly closing and reopening Creative Cloud, and the Photoshop version mentioned above.I now have two related—but separate—questions I’m hoping the community can help with:First: Is there an easy way to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop through Creative Cloud? I keep getting error codes 1 and 2 alternately, and I suspect Creative Cloud may not be too fond of the TK Print Panel, as it’s not on Adobe’s approved plugin list.Second: Is there a good alternative plugin that is approved by Creative Cloud and offers the same ease of use and functionality as the TK Print Panel?

Once I get to this point of loading, program loads very slowly. I am running on a M3 Max Macbook Pro with 36GB of RAM. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Removing the Adobe folder from my Application Support folder. Have seen forums suggest removing plug-ins folder, but can never locate on my device. 

i,I’m facing an issue with the Generative Fill feature in Photoshop. I keep getting this message:“We’re experiencing delays due to high demand. Please try again later.”Details:• I’m logged into my Adobe account.• I’m using the latest version of Photoshop.• My internet connection is stable and fast.• I’ve tried restarting my system and switching networks, but the issue persists.I rely on this feature for my workflow, and the delay is affecting my work.Is there any workaround or solution to fix this?Thank you in advance for your support.

I am a newbie of photoshop and the effects of gradient map confuse me.  I thought gradient map has consistent formula for the 3 color channel(RGB), but it doesn't.  I set left side of gradient map to black(0, 0, 0), and right side to white(255,255, 255), and the gradient map layer changes rgb color of below layer as following:  (255, 0, 0) -> (66, 66, 66)  (0, 255, 0) -> (156, 156, 156)  (0, 0, 255) -> (18, 18, 18)  such result is really beyond my understanding, So why do I get this effect?

I am trying to uninstall Photoshop 7.  I get the message UninstallShield has detected that c:\program files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop7.0\Photoshop.exe is in use.

When Preferences->Workspace options "Open Documents as Tabs" and "Open LArge Tabs" are inactive (and PS is freshly (re)started), opening (or droping in) several images cause a bug. Last window of the opened pictures remains active/semi-active on top. It stays on top when windows of previous pictures selected. Even when "under" window is managed to be on top via moving, tools (like clone tool selecting Source via Alt key) switches back to last opened picture if it's window is below. Confirmed on different machines - Win10 and Win11 for both versions of Photshop 26.6.1 and Photoshop Beta 28.Bug presumably wasn't observed before 26.6 (or 26.6.1).

Hello everyone. I was expecting part of the new layer to be cleared (WorkDok.selection.clear();), but it doesn't happen ???test.psd  var WorkDok = app.activeDocument WorkDok.artLayers[activeDocument.artLayers.length - 1].copy(); WorkDok.artLayers.add(); WorkDok.paste(); WorkDok.pathItems[0].makeSelection(); WorkDok.selection.invert(); WorkDok.selection.clear();   

When generative fill was introduced, I remember it only filling the selected area.Right now, generative fill goes beyond my selection and sometimes "destroys" areas that I didn't select. Is there a way to limit generative fill to only fill my selected area and nothing else?

Hey Everyone, I have the Kyle Webster pack and wondering why the mixer brushes have a lovely texture to the shown in the example in green, but regular brushes do not have th elovely texture? Can I add texture to the regular brushes at all? I tried in the brush fly out and it seems to have some texure added. What is the trick with the mixer brushes having this deeper texture? Thanks

I am experiencing unusable results with Generative Fill in the latest version of Photoshop (25). Are there any fixes, workarounds or different methods to get better results? When these edits were made in PS24 the Generative Fill results were perfect on the first try and took maybe 3 minutes. I'm now more than an hour into trying to get the same results.  I've looked for a link or contact to report this directly to Adobe but give up after not finding one.

After the latest Photoshop update, a bar appeared at the top left, reminiscent of the bar of the Photoshop generative tool. It hangs, there is no way to remove it, it covers part of the menu when Photoshop is open in full screen.Is this a bug?Adobe Photoshop version: 26.6.0 20250414.r.14 f1f3569 x64  

In the past, whenever opening organizer, it would offer me the option to download to photoshop all new photos on my iphone.  Recently, it is not offering to do this.  I really love this feature but can't figure out why it is not doing it.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  

I've had this issue forever and spent countless hours searching for fixes on Google without being able to fix it.https://youtu.be/uzwv5bS1F1MCurrently using Photoshop 26.6.1, but this has been happening for a while now.  I can't remember for how long.Hardware:Wacom Intuos 16Intel i9-12900K 3.20GHz32GB RAMGeForce 4060TiSamsung 580 EVO 500GB SSDI don't believe this is a hardware issue, as I have no issues in other apps or other drawing programs.  I prefer using Photoshop because it's just what I'm used to, but I am heavily considering going to a different program due to this issue.When I press the pen down, it doesn't immediately draw with ANY brush that has Pen Pressure settings turned on.  I must leave a certain radius before it actually starts to draw, resulting in being unable to draw very small details unless I'm super zoomed in.What I've tried: - Restarting Computer - Restarting Photoshop - Reinstalling tablet drivers - Reinstalling Photoshop&nbsp
