Questions

I wonder if anyone has information on the topic.I have an ASUS with a NVDIA 4050  GPU that I purchased for Photoshop and lightroom processing of graphic design and photographs. Lightroom seems to be accessing the GPU sucessfully and it really spools up and works on photographs and other. Photoshop however is an issue with the beta and 26. X version but it has been like this for a long time now. The GPU just spikes and then goes down to no activity while the processing continues for several minutes instead of seconds. The main system is an i7 with about 48 GB memory two ultrafast solid state drives 1 TB and 2 TB and everything on the latest drivers and SW. I have configured one way and another through as many processes in Photoshop and Windows and NVdia and still no change. My only option is to remove photoshop and start clean but I dont really want to do that as it may not help anyway I need the GPU to work as processing isreally slow on my larger projects&nbsp

Hi, does anyone know how to create this pattern in Photoshop or Illustrator? I need to use it to create a bump map in another program. Thanks

Hello, the files in my library are greyed out, and it says, "This item is not supported by Photoshop." The same files can be accessible on Illustrator and Photoshop beta. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop; in most of the cases, if I troubleshoot Creative Cloud with CTRL + ALT + T (Win), the app starts shutting down automatically on the new doc screen. Attaching the system info. 

In the new Photoshop update when I click on the Object Selection tool there is no Object Finder checkbox showing up in the Options Bars. I have reset the toolbar and still no Object Finder. All it shows right now is Select People with no other option. 

For social media posts there are file size limits on GIFs. For instance, Facebook is 5MB. I typically will hit this target in the Save for Web panel by adjusting the dimensions of the GIF until the file size is under 5MB. This is a tedious process that can definitely be sped up. I suggest a tool that allows you to input the file size target. It then automatically adjusts the dimensions of the GIF accordingly.

Estou sofrendo com corrompimento de arquivos após salvamento. Os arquivos são salvos de forma correta, porém, corrompe de forma que chega a mudar a data de modificação para antes do arquivo ser criado. Além do software estar travando muito. Não sei o que poderia ser, pois enquanto o computador funciona normalmente, apenas o Photoshop está travando. Meu software está atualizado e é o original. 

The Image Adjustments > brightness/contrast setting in the latest version of Photoshop for Mac is washing images out when I increase contrast. Increasing contrast previously darkened images. (This is happening in adjustment layers as well.)  I use this tool frequently, and the new settings don’t allow for the same darkness/richness without the entire image darkening. It’s difficult to get the same effect easily with curves. This seems like an error in the update. Could you please provide any assistance?

Hi everyone, I am a newbie on Photoshop and I need some help on how to achieve this early 2000s edit, reminiscent of 'fruitger aero'. I'm assuming the background is done on Illustrator? But I truly don't know where to start TT 

When using photoshop after a bit it will get slow and the mose position will desync by up to half of my screen and when scrolling the image will bleed off the screen.

Hey, So I recently bought an M1 iMac to work from home on a bigger screen and so I wouldn't overwork my 2019 Macbook Pro for heavier jobs. What I found out while using Photoshop with my M1 iMac is that, at times, the optn key acted like it was being pressed down although it physically wasn't. There is, apparently, nothing I can do to solve this when it happens except restart my computer which ends up being a pain in the a** on my workflow. I've searched this "bug" before and only found one person with an apparent solution which was to turn the sticky keys on and off (or along those lines). I also enabled the keyboard viewer and in fact when this bug takes place I can see that the optn key is "active" but even if I turn it off on the keyboard viewer, it still acts as if it's pressed down. None of these methods seems to work for me. And so here I go, restarting my computer again. This only seems to happen on Photoshop and on my iMac. It never happened/happens on my Ma

Hi everyone, I’m working with Photoshop version 26.8.1 on a MacBook Pro with the M4 Max chip, running macOS Sequoia 15.5, and I’m experiencing the following issue: Whenever I click on “Enhance Details” after using Generative Fill, Photoshop crashes consistently. This happens regardless of the image or project. I’ve already tried everything available under Preferences > Performance, including assigning the GPU, enabling/disabling all relevant performance settings. I’ve also cleared several cache-related folders, including: – Camera Raw Cache– PluginData from com.adobe.cai.uxp– LocalStorage and temporary .ldb files– Photoshop-specific assets and settings files under ~/Library/Caches/Adobe Here’s an important detail: after restarting the Mac, the feature works again, but only for about 10–20 “Enhance Details” actions before Photoshop crashes again. After that, the only way to make it work again is to restart the machine — then I get another window of 10–20 succ

I noticed in Photoshop, that the background doesn't actually look white (fffffff).. even though the color picker shows it is white and in the upper left corner. Contrast to Illustrator, and Powerpoint... The image below was taken by arranging all three applications on my machine... the hex color code is shown in the text is the value reported from the screen grab in SnagIt. Please help me understand how to make white = white.  

Hey guys, anyone with any ideas on how to create an effect like an out-of-body experience like in the image I've attached? Specifically, how to blur and lengthen parts of a specific image (like the hair and white clothing on the lady) and how to create such a glow around a person?Any help will be greatly appreciated! I'm still learning.

I need to be able to print color targets for making custom ICC profiles, so I need to be able to print without color management. Photoshop doesn't allow this. I've had to use the old Adobe Color Printer Utility, which hasn't received an update in a decade or so. With each Mac OS system update, it becomes less and less usable. It now takes several attempts to open/print files. Color Sync is *supposed* to be able to do this, but the option to print without color management is always greyed out, no matter the file type. Since making custom profiles is a pretty vital thing to be able to do for people using Adobe products to do professional printing, I figure Adobe has some other solution besides an old, deprecated piece of stoftware... right?

I am trying to continue work on something I was working on yesterday and when attempting to open the .PSD file, I am greeted by the error: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"I have had a look for any others whove experienced the same bug with little luck.Anything helps, Thanks. 

Hope to get some guidance on JPEG XL Save As options.  I want to save a large image (15000x15600) as a jpeg for printing.  (I was surprised to find that some professional labs, like Bay Photo, include jpegs in their list of preferred file types.)  Two questions: (1) I want maximum quality.  In the Photoshop Save As dialogue box, under Color Compression, I can choose Lossless or Lossy.  If I choose Lossy, I can set the Quality slider to 100 (Maximum, large file).  My sense is that Lossless is the better choice to maximize quality.  With Lossless, I have no Quality settings.  Does that indicate that Lossless automatically maximizes quality? (2) If my purpose is not to re edit the file but rather to send the file to a lab for printing, my sense is that I do not need to include metadata.  Is that correct?

I have recently had this issue with the latest versions of PS. Having read of historic similar issues I reset my Preferences and the issue disappeared.  However, when I reset my personal preferences the problem returned. Following some trial and error adjustments, I have established that the Preference that I had changed from the defaults which caused my problem was the "Preferences/Workspace/Open Documents as Tabs" one.  I have always unticked this box but it appears to be what is causing the failure of the Brightness/Contrast sliders. Not the end of the world to leave it ticked but clearly not what should be happening.I have been a PS user since 1998 and never had anything like this before. However I have recently updated my PC to get Windows 11 compatibility, buying a Dell XPS 8960. Whether this could also be a factor I don't know. 

Hi everyone,I’m dealing with a major issue in Photoshop 2020. During basic tasks like editing two or three photos, my entire system freezes — even the shut down and task manager stop responding. I have to force shutdown the system every time to get it back to normal. My System Specs:• Photoshop Version: 2020• GPU: RTX 4060 8GB• RAM: 32GB (16×2)• Processor: Intel Core i7• Storage: SSD (Photoshop is installed on SSD)• Scratch Disk: Assigned to 😧 drive (with 250 gb free space available )  

I just opened up my PSD file to make minor edits and when I wanted to apply the gradient, it shows an error as the title topic suggest. No idea what caused the bug as it popped out suddenly. Appreciate if there are any workarounds. Cheers.

 The keyboard shortcut to show/hide the grid has stopped working. I checked in the settings and it's still set to default (Commnd + '), but when I try to use the shortcut nothing happens. I have reset the preferences, restarted Photoshop without plugins and still not working! The same issue exists in After Effects, which uses the same keystrokes for that shortcut. Other Command shortcuts work fine and the ' key works. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

 Hi all, I've scoured the internet for a solution to my problem with Contact Sheet II to no avail.Everytime I try to generate a Contact Sheet in Photoshop it comes out blank. Nothing shows up, no layers or text is created. I tried adjusting everything in the settings I could; changing the color profile to every different one, I tried CMYK. Checked and unchecked almost every setting I could. Nothing has changed. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop.  I'm on a Windows 10 computer with everything needed for Photoshop to run updated: version 22.4.3 Photoshop. Any help is appreciated. I use the Contact Sheet generator for work and would love to get this fixed ASAP. Thanks!
