Questions

Mac OS  I'm on the PS April 2025 edition. When I open an image, I get the contextual task bar but no adjust colors.Anyone know why? Any help appreciated.

I have a subject and a selection in Photoshop. The selection is very close to the subject but not perfectly aligned—there are slight mismatches around the edges.Is there any script or automated method (like an Auto Liquify script) that can deform or adjust the subject to match the selection exactly? Ideally, I’m looking for a way to warp or reshape the subject so it conforms precisely to the selection boundaries.Any suggestions, plugins, or scripting approaches would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello !After the lass update, I can't batch process anymore. My actions are still in the list, but neither can they be edited, nor applied or anything. The whole interface has changed, there are no longer checkboxes for any step saved within the action. Anyway, all the steps, except ofthe layer attribute seem to be lost. So no longer the things like "pixelize style, save, close"  - I cannot create any new action, it says "library cannot be edited".This hits me in the middle of a bigger and longer project. 

(related to this post>> https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/smart-object-gray-layer-at-top-of-file-causes-blocks-when-working/idi-p/14787126) Hoping for updates made in my previous post (made with my work account from prior job)... Working in high end commercial photo retouching most--if not all--of my files have grain applied to the image using a 50% gray layer converted to a smart object with noise and blur smart filters.Very frequently I will be working on the lower layers with the grain layer on and as I clone, heal, brush, etc blocks of pixels of everything below the grain basically disappear and reveal the gray grain information instead. It corrects itself the moment I turn off/on that or any layer. This is obviously very annoying. My workaround is to work with the grain layer off which is almost as annoying, almost counterproductive.  This has been going on for a few years now on (I believe) every version of PS on various suped

I want to use a JSX script to freely transform the image. My image has two horizontal reference lines: one at the top of the head and one at the chin. When I perform a free transform to the chin position, the distance between the top of the head and the top reference line creates a gap. How can I keep the top of the head aligned with the top reference line while also ensuring that the chin stays aligned with the bottom reference line?

Hi there. Hoping someone may have a fix to this issue. Since installing Adobe Photoshop 2025 (Version 26.1.0), all but two of the printer profiles have disappeared from my printer profile options. I've currently been exporting as a high quality PNG and printing them through illustrator, but this is inconvenient. I've spent hours of googling and even reached out to Adobe tech chat, which annoyingly enough, the person I was talk to ended the chat with no contect after about 30 minutes. I did find that if I copy my ICC file from the spool/drivers folder and place it in c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\adobe\color\settings, the speceific ICC profile and all the missing usual ones return. BUT THEN, they all disappear from Illustrator and I can't get them back there either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This has been driving me insane the last couple of days. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled both Photoshop and Illustrator a couple of times. Didn't work. I also u

The eraser tool is not the marker, and it makes long marks

I have a large number of images to process.  Briefly, they're all scanned negatives and I want to add a levels adjustment layer.  A look at the first few suggests that pullling the left slider up to about 35 and the right slider down to 225 will be near enough in 99.99% of cases. My thought process - record a suitable action (two steps: create levels layer, set layer with "Input:35,225"), start a batch job, go get a brew.  However, the action pays back fine (dialog is off), but stops with the cursor in the input box waiting for input. If I add another step the action continues without applying the inputs. What do I need to do to get the action to enter the specified input?Many thanks in advance,

Hello, I am trying to remove this branch from in front of the bird face.. I have tried the quick select tool and the healing brush and with all of them they become muddy and you can totally tell that I photoshopped it out.. Does anyone have any tips or tricks? I am fairly new at photoshop so any help would be greatly appreciated. Ive watched the tutorial on the video and it just doesnt work that easy haha

How do I revert to the old swatch layout?  This new one is so cumbersome and counterintuitive. Thanks  [PS - yes, I have read other posts about accessing the act file from an old version, which I no longer have, or manually moving everything into another folder, which is pretty ridiculous]

I am running on Mac 10.15.7 Catalina and have upgraded to Photoshop 2025 (26..6.0). When I attempt to open an image that I have previously worked on, the image is black. The layers panel is visible but toggling the layers on and off has no effect on the image.  How do I resolve this?

I accidentally detached the image screen I was working on from the workspace and I can't seem to re-attach it back again. I used to be able to simply drag and drop it in. Same goes for my Tools strip and my Layers box. Once they get detached I can't seem to drag and drop them back onto the workspace.  See attached video please.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks much.Brian

In Photoshop 2025, I was trying to bring an image into photoshop from Photos on my mac.  Photoshop asked if I wanted to get access from  my my photos, I clicked on it, went to see Photos and all of my Photos are gone and the whole library of images are gone.  Help!

Is it even possible?  If so, how to trim a rectangle that is exceeding the canvas? I do it with background images all the time without a sweat using Image->Trim

[PT/BR]Bom dia Galera, estou tendo problemas com a ferramente 'Dissolver" do Photoshop. Sempre que abro a ferramenta tanto usando o menu suspenso como o atalho a tela fica desta forma. Já tentei resetar as configurações (Alt+Ctrl+Shift) e nada, outrora já havia reinstalado Photoshop porém o erro permanece, e como sou fotógrafo isso me atrapalha muito. Alguém pode me ajudar?[ENG/EUA]Good morning Guys, I'm having problems with Photoshop's 'Dissolve' tool. Whenever I open the tool using either the drop-down menu or the shortcut, the screen looks like this. I've tried to reset the settings (Alt + Ctrl + Shift) and nothing, I had previously reinstalled Photoshop, but the error remains, and since I am a photographer, it disturbs me a lot. Can someone help me?

using the shape tool, no matter how simple is so slow, whereas the rest of the program is fine. Just clicking on a shape takes a couple seconds of nothing before it is selected, and even worse if you want to create, edit one (changing colour, stroke etc, all super slow).  As you can see, selecting a rectangle takes seconds to complete, whereas a smart object is instantanious. Any ideas what might be causing this, and how to fix it? An older version of PS (CS6 iirc) was the same on this machine, never got to the bottom of it but its becoming intolerable.Current version should be up to date, same with drivers etc.Running a AMD Ryzen 7 2700 8 core CPU and nvidia RTX 2070 GPU.I remember a LONG time ago this issue was never present on much worse hardware.

After setting a mask's feather or opacity setting in the mask properties panel I frequently am stunned when at any random moment the file looks corrupt with blocks appearing in random areas of the image. Zooming in/out can change this effect but it's scary not knowing if it's just a graphics issue or an actual corruption of the file. This has been going on for many years--maybe as long as the mask properties function has existed. I have discovered that I can solve the issue by zeroing out whatever mask opacity or feather I had set and then re-applying it. I have gotten very used to just blurring with filters or adjusting masks with levels/curves but sometimes the function of being able to keeping record of the adjustments is very useful. Is there any way to solve this issue on my end? 

When trying to use any kind of image generation in Photoshop, it starts loading the usual 3 variations at first, but after a few seconds the generation stops and the screen reverts to its previous state before the prompt was entered. Nothing appears in the history either. Additionally, information about plans, billing history, and payments does not load on the website, and the Firefly site also fails to load data. What could be the issue and how can it be fixed?

If anyone is interested, I have written a script that will save open documents as PSB files to a folder location of your choosing. It runs as a batch script meaning it will run on all open PS documents. It also names the file based on the name of the active layer selected when you run the script. Handy for those who Load Files as Photoshop Layers out of Bridge and then want to use a layer name as the main file name. I use this regularly in my pipeline and it's fantastic. CJI_SAVE AS PSB_LYR NAME.jsx // Adobe Photoshop script to save all open documents as .PSB files using the selected layer nametry {// Prompt the user to select a destination foldervar destinationFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder to save .PSB files");// Check if the user canceled the dialogif (destinationFolder == null) {throw new Error("No folder selected. Script canceled.");}// Function to get the name of the selected layerfunction getSelectedLayerName() {var activeLayer = app.activeDocument.activ

Im trying to add a circular sp button to my Photoshop plug in and I just can get this thing to work with vanilla js, css and html. At best I got an ellipse. How do I do this? I`ve downloaded ui-kitchen-sink and there are no circular buttons there but on the other hand there is these pages where it shows its possible:https://spectrum.adobe.com/page/button/https://opensource.adobe.com/spectrum-web-components/components/button/Is this a React specific thing? Here is the code im using:<sp-button class= "testButton" variant="cta" label="Icon only"> <div slot="icon" class="icon"> <svg id="spectrum-icon-18-Edit" viewBox="0 0 30 30" ><path d="SomeLongPath" > </path> </svg> </div> </sp-button> .testButton { align-self: flex-end; width: 30px; height: 30px; border-radius: 100%; }

 Right after upgrading (automatically) to Photoshop 2025, white has turned into a  dizzy blue and colors in the app are completely wrong. Saving works and the end file is correct. But it's impossible to work in this workspace.  Really appreciate any support for fixing this. 

How do I revert to a prior version? This one is AWFUL!!! It crashes (6 times in a row now) every time I try to import pieces to put them together in a new document. It is unuseable right now. I am VERY unhappy. In 26+ years as a PS user, I have never experienced such a bad update.

After updating everything today. I opened Photoshop and all I get is a blank gray, empty window. EVERYTHING IS GONE. And all I did was click on Update in the CC App. This junk is getitng really sickening. EVERY [removed by moderator] TIME I UPDATE IT EVERYTHING IS SCREWED UP BIG TIME...    What can I do to fix it? I'm not talking about resetting the [removed by moderator] preferences or any of that [removed by moderator]. I need to know a ONE CLICK SOLUTION TO FIX WHAT ADOBE SCREWED UP.    Thankfully Photoshop BEATA opened correctly and I was able to make a screenshot of what Photoshop looks like when I open it now that adobe has "Updated" it... 

Hi, Whenever I export a file, it always want to export to the last folder that I exported to, and not into the folder that the psd-file is already in. This is annoying and pretty time consuming to find the right folder every time. Is the an export setting that can help me, or is it just the way it works?I see the same problem in indesign, after effects and illustrator too.
