Questions

Hello. I've been having this bug where when I go to open something I get this window and it gets stuck. The only way to do anything about it is to forcefully quit Photoshop via task manager. It seems to be random when it happens and has only started happening recently. Every button and drop down menu becomes a white box and I can't interact with anything. Version: 25.12.2Windows 11 23H2Reproduction: Go to file > open (Is not consistent, seems to happen randomly and I'm unsure why)

I want to take a load of layers and layersets out of a folder so they're no longer nested. I'm using this// Move art layers out of the STACK folder for (var i = duplicatedStackFolder.artLayers.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { duplicatedStackFolder.artLayers[i].move(newStackDoc, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND); } // Move layer sets (subfolders) out of the STACK folder in forward order for (var j = 0; j < duplicatedStackFolder.layerSets.length; j++) { duplicatedStackFolder.layerSets[0].move(newStackDoc, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND); } My problem is some of the layersets get missed and not taken out of the folder.If i use this instead then i get all the layersets but they end up in the wrong order.// Move layer sets (subfolders) out of the STACK folder for (var j = duplicatedStackFolder.layerSets.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) { duplicatedStackFolder.layerSets[j].move(newStackDoc, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND); } I've tried using PLACEATSTART but that doesn't seem to work&

Greetings everyone(I know this is not Photoshop related, but no-one is responding to my question on the Bridge forum.)I have three screenshot jpeg images in a folder. One image loads a Thumbnail and a Preview and the other two don't. I have reset the Preference Settings, Purged the Cache, given Full Disk Access to Bridge and checked all settings and Preferences.The one image that loads the Thumbnail & Preview also displays the full Metadata. The other two show no Dimensions, Resolution or Colour Profile. These images were Saved in Photoshop and not Exported.The same issue is visible on Bridge 2025 and on 2022.The images that do not show, do open in Photoshop 2025.The images that do not show in Bridge do show in Finder and open in Preview.The images that don't show, also do not show in Capture One - which makes me think that it is not necessarily a Bridge issue, but more a Photoshop Save issue.The issue is not isolated - I get the same issue with work that has been saved on mul

When i used Photoshop CS6, i was able to simply use Ctrl+C/V in order to copy the paths and shapes made with the pen tool, and either paste them into the same layer or a new one.Now that i'm using Photoshop 2021, trying to copy anything made with the Pen tool creates a Vector Mask and it won't let me use it in the layer itself. Is there an option to disable the path from becoming a vector mask each time i paste it in another layer?

Hi, I made the attached image in Photoshop. In the original image, the birds are red, but when I export to PNG, they sometimes appear blue in the image viewer (and subsequently turn my people into Smurfs). I exported to a JPG and it doesn't seem to hinder it, but now I am curious why this is happening. I made this image years ago and have viewed it as a PNG many times, but I have never seen the image turn blue until now.  Any thoughts on why this is happening and how I can avoid this with future PNGs? What changed that might have influenced its view settings?

Hi, a few months ago (until a few weeks ago) I still saw an advertisement on Adobe's Youtube (now I don't remember exactly if it was Adobe Premiere or Photoshop but I imagine it was an Adobe Premiere advertisement), because I remember in this advertisement there were a girl and other people working on the PC screen and I could see a video on the screen where she was working and the girl in the video was duplicated many and many times, in a kind of 'round' circle.. and shows various video effects.Now I haven't seen this ad on YouTube for at least a couple of 2 or 3 weeks... it doesn't seem to be played anymore.I wish I could listen to it again, I also like the sound of the music, and it was really inspiring and like an 'opening theme' that I could listen to every day, before I start learning my software. Please, if anyone knows what advert it was, can you let me know?  Edit: I'm searching here, but I can't still find it:   https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR1

I use a Wacom Cintiq 24P with Windows 11.  Sometimes, I'll get a lucky stretch where there are no problems.  Then, I'll get a rough patch where the pen no longer controls the cursor on the Wacom.  I have to uninstall, then reinstall the Wacom driver.  Sometimes that takes several tries.  This will occur several times per week.  Then, it's smooth sailing for another stretch.  My Windows installation, my Nvidia drivers, and my Wacom drivers are all updated.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I understand this is a Photoshop forum, not a Wacom forum.  But I usually get better information here than anywhere else.

Meu photoshop deu erro e fechou inesperadamente, pediu pra enviar o relatório e eu concordei. Depois disso, vários arquivos estão dando erro ao tentar abrir, tanto velhos como novos. Eu crio um projeto, começo a desenvolver, mas quando vou abrir de novo, depois de um tempo, começa a dar o mesmo erro.Já redefini as configurações, reiniciei, desinstalei e reinstalei o software, mas nada resolve.Utilizando o plug-in 'user diagnostics' ele me retornou essas informações: Photoshop Error informationCode: -1Text: devido a erro no programaMessage: Não foi possível abrir “EBOOK - CORES.psd” devido a erro no programa.Stack:Adobe Photoshop 26.5.0 20250318.r.16 0a154be - x860 address: 00007FF746F20AC2 base: 00007FF740130000 module name: 'Photoshop.exe' symbol info: 'dunamis_http_setSendRequestCallback:-1 in n.a.'1 address: 00007FF746F1A89D base: 00007FF740130000 module name: 'Photoshop.exe' symbol info: 'dunamis_http_setSendRequestCallback:-1 in n.a.'2 address: 00007FF745CDBCEC base: 00007FF7

Hey zusammen! Ich habe seit einiger Zeit das Problem, dass Photoshop mir jedes geöffnete Bild nur etwa 1/4 so groß darstellt wie der Fensterrahmen ist, der sich mit dem Bild öffnet. Schwer zu erklären, aber das Bild im Anhang zeigt das Problem sehr gut. Bild nur oben links, Rest vom Fensterrahmen Leerfläche.Zur Info, falls Leute fragen: Ich arbeite immer ohne Anwendungsrahmen und schon seit über einem Jahrzehnt so. Das Problem besteht seit einigen Wochen.  Ich habe alle Einstellungen überprüft, die Photoshop Cache geleert, Photoshop zurückgesetzt, deinstalliert inklusive aller Einstellungen entfernt und es bleibt leider immernoch so, bei allen Bildern und egal welchem Dateiformat. Und klar, kann ich das Bild mit "command+0" dann richtig anzeigen lassen, wenn man aber wie ich täglich hunderte Bilder bearbeitet, ist das ziemlich nervig und ist ja auch nicht Sinn der Sache. Hat jemand dasselbe Probleme oder vielleicht eine Lösung? Danke vorab!Sebastian

Bonjour,En allumant l’ordinateur aujourd’hui, les logiciels Photoshop et Illustrator se comportent bizarrement et tentent de s’ouvrir tout seuls.Illustrator y arrive.Photoshop essaie et échoue.Déjà hier, j’avais dû cesser de travailler avec Photoshop qui quittait comme expliqué ci-aprèsChaque fois que je copie (command C) une portion de tracé pour la recopier (command V) sur un autre tracé du même fichier, Photoshop quitte systématiquement, quel que soit le fichier.Ce problème qui ne se produisait que très rarement est devenu systématique depuis la mise à jour des logiciels Photoshop, Illustrator et After Effects, effectuée le 1er avril 2025.J’ai essayé, par curiosité, de tenter la même opération avec Illustrator (command C command V). Le logiciel ne quitte pas, la portion de tracé est bien copiée, mais se retrouve déportée par rapport à sa place initiale. Ne m’étant jamais servi d’Illustrator pour effectuer cette opération, je ne peux pas savoir ce qu’il en était avant et si cela est

Not sure why my parametric filters keep showing this popup when I try to apply them  Here's my system stats but I don't think it's a compatibility issue?   

The thrust of my question is this:  Is there any way to rotate a pixel image in Photoshop?  (By "rotate,"  I mean turn it at any angle, not just Image>Image Rotation.) Example: If I have a photographic image of a man facing forward, is there any way to rotate that image, e.g., 20d on the Y axis and 5d on the X axis?  I know that in earlier versions of Photoshop (I believe until v18), it was possible to convert, say, 2D text to a 3D object and rotate it in the 3D module at any angle.  I don't know whether the same could be done with just any photographic element.  Perspective Warp can do that to some extent with geometric images (e.g., buildings), but I haven't been successful in finding a way to get a similar effect with figures (humans, animals).  I'm contemplating installing the earlier v18 and experimenting.  However, if I know it's simply not possible to do that, I would save myself some time.  (I'm assuming the v18 3D module would ev

i want to edit my photos, but I am facing some issues with it. can anyone guide?

HiI'm trying to script the creation of a document and defining the bit depth based on a tick box in my UI however i keep getting en error BitsPerChannelType.EIGHTBitsPerChannelType.SIXTEENBitsPerChannelType.THIRTYTWO all give me the same error, does this element just not work from the dom?app.documents.add( 1920, // Width 1080, // Height 72, // Resolution "Test Document", // Name NewDocumentMode.RGB, // Mode BitsPerChannelType.THIRTYTWO // Bit Depth );

I encountered a bug in Photoshop V26.5We are usung an automated Sreen Capture to Photoshop script. It basically just takes a screenshot in another softeware and posts it into PS by the click of a button (with Python).From PS version V26.5 it does give me the error message "Could not open "viewport_screenshot.tiff" because there isn't enough room to dock it on this monitor. Try turning off Open Documents as Tabs in the Workspace Preference panel."However, this only happens for the 2nd sceenshot (which, by the script will overwrite the first). The first sceenshot after opening PS will always work fine - the second will give the error messeage (reproducable  100% of the time). And surely I also have enough room for tabs on this monitor still.Downgrading to PS Version 26.4.1 fixed the issue, so there must be something wrong with V26.5.

Si l'on applique un calque de couleur unie en écrétage sur un groupe ne contenant uniquement des calques de réglages cela désactive les calques de réglages à l'intérieur du groupe même si la visibilité du calque de couleur unie est désactivé. Si le calque de couleur unie est supprimé, les effets des calques de réglages deviennent de nouveau visible. Si un calque normal est ajouté au groupe des calques de réglages, ceux-ci sont de nouveau visible. When applying a solid color layer in a clipping mask to a group containing only adjustment layers, it disables the adjustment layers within the group, even if the visibility of the solid color layer is turned off. If the solid color layer is deleted, the effects of the adjustment layers become visible again. If a normal layer is added to the group of adjustment layers, they become visible again.

Please forgive me if I'm not using the right terminology, I'm a complete beginner to photoshop or any photo-editing tools. I'm trying to create a bunch of printed color swatches for exact colorimetric visual determination of colored liquids, in CIE Lab color space. My idea is to create a bunch of 6 x 6" cards filled with a matrix of colored squares with the reference color starting in the center square, e.g. L a b = 70, 70, 0.  Each square to the right of it increments the a value by +2, and -2 for each square to the left.Each square to the top of it increments the b value by +2, and -2 for each square to the bottom.Each card will represent increments in the L value. Please advise me on the best approach to do this efficiently. I painstakingly entered the Lab values to each square, but I wish there is a way to automate this process. See attached.Thank you so much! 

Hi there,Until the last update (Photoshop to 26.5) I could have multiple layers within a smart object.Now when I do that, and then click save .. I get an error message, telling me I need to flatten the images inorder to save and update smart object.I usually need multiple layers WITHIN a smart object when creating my mockups. To flatten the layers is a destructive way of working. Does any one know how to work around this?  Is there a setting I need to select/unselect?

I'm quite used to use cmd+ and cmd- to zoom in and out. Recently, Photoshop doesn't let me zoom more than 100% using this shortcut. I can zoom in more as usual with wheel, pen or trackpad, but cmd+ stops at 100. I looked for solution to no avail. Please help. Legit Photoshop 24 on MacOS Sonoma. TWO different Macs, same issue. Resetting prefs didn't help.
