Questions

I’ve just watched this video, and had to share.  How many posts have we seen over the years from confused users who are adamant that they need 300DPI for the billboard sized print they are making?  Simon d’Entremont had done a double blind test with large prints printed at a range of resolutions, and viewed at various distances.  [Spoiler] Neither he or his friends could tell the difference even when viewed from just 12”.  I will be bookmarking this for the next time someone asks the question, or insists they need a Quadrillion pixel file for their A0 print on semigloss paper. 

I have installed Version 26.11.2 (Photoshop 2025) and Version 27.3.1 (Photoshop 2026) on my laptop running Windows 11 Home.  I am migrating to use 2026 version so that I can uninstall the 2025 version.But, when I need to use the Remove Tool in the 2026 version it popped up with errors.When the area(s) to remove was identified I clicked the “tick” to proceeded.  Below two issues were encountered:(1) After a while it displayed in orange “The service is not responding.  Please check your internet connection and try again.”  I have confirmed that the internet connection is normal. or(2) A dialog box displayed that there is program error that the job was not finished.  It provided a link to this page https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/desktop/troubleshoot/file-format-issues/resolve-program-error-while-saving-files.html?trackingid=C12Y2WS7&mv=in-product&mv2=psBut, the page does not contain a solution for the issue.I switched to the 2025 version and it could complete the removal job!Is

I created a layer mask and drew some pixels. In the past I have been able to use the blur tool on the layer mask. But on this new crappy version of photoshop I cannot. Why?Update: I re-started photoshop and the blur tool works on the layer mask now. This new version of photoshop needs to be re-started all the time. I’ve been using photoshop for 20 years and never had this problem. This is such a huge mess up. Complete and total incompetence from the Adobe corp and it’s software engineers.

Does there need to be some sort of warning pop up when you use the third party AI models. Ive just used Flux2 pro generative fill on a Prophoto RGB 8bit image and it doesn't seem to do any sort of icc profile management or conversion.I think It should tell you it can only handle sRGB or ask do you want to convert it before sending it to AI server. ( all colour settings set to preserve embedded profile, working space is Adobe RGB, image was a scanned tiff prophoto file)

Photoshop worked fine earlier today. Now, when clicking New file and then Create, the modal closes but nothing happens. No new file is created.I also tried to save an existing file. It did not save, even though the workflow to save didn’t not result in any errors.I had tried to crop an existing file. Nothing happened when I tried to crop.I can’t try any other actions, because I closed and re-opened Photoshop as a potential solution. So all files are now closed, and I cannot open any files in Photoshop.Nothing like these issues has ever happened before. All other programs are working. Adobe XD is working, Microsoft products are working, Chrome is working. My mouse and keypad are working. 

I don’t know what the thing is called. I want a floating tool pallet and whatever the strip along the top is called. I have the same issue with InDesign. When I switched to this latest version I followed the instructions for importing my preferences, but only the pallet locations and my actions transferred. Everything else reverted to the current Adobe defaults. 

Please can all Adobe apps be updated to remove the pop-up which requests to allow “app name” to find devices on local networks.  This pop-up is very confusing for end users in computer labs in education.

Printing to an Epson p5000 from Ps 27.3.1 running on MacOS 26.3. When printing directly from Ps to cut sheets, positioning adjustments in the Adobe print dialog appear correctly in the print dialog, but those for the X axis are ignored. The Y axis adjustments seem to transfer successfully. I have no idea if this is an Adobe bug or an Apple bug. I recently updated both the MacOS and Ps to the versions shown above. . 

Hi,Draw a simple black line brush size 10 but as an arc, left to right, then repeat that 20 pixels or so north and repeat again.Now try and bend the three lines downwards to get three straight lines same relationship to each other , no line must go thinner, no gap thinner.Pshop has not , as far as I can see, added any basic geometry transform tools since its launch in 4.1 days.Distort, Scale, Warp, Skew, cannot handle this simple need.I had traced a tyre tread and as the pic was at an angle got the attached, just need to un bend it as a plan of the tread. Merlin 

It's not selecting my model's whole face and it ends up creating a vertical dividing line in the final photo where the edited and unedited areas meet. Any help to get it to select the whole face? I looked for a button that would let me move the blue rectangle but I can't find one.Thanks all!  

I can't copy and paste in Photoshop. When I try to copy a layer with Crtl + C, nothing happens. I am on Windows 7 64 Bit.

Just started using Photoshop CC on my iMac and I have noticed this issue which I did not have using windows based computers. Any floating window just seems to hide in the background as soon as I click on the tabbed document I want to work on. This is an issue for me since I like to have a couple of references open while painting plus I always have another with nothing but my color palette in it. I've already gone over the preferences but can't seem to find the way to avoid this and the options from Widow>Arrange weren't any help also resizing all windows so that they don't overlap each other ends up wasting a lot of screen real estate.

In the latest version of Photoshop, since yesterday, the Remove Tool has been working very slowly, sometimes causing Photoshop to freeze. My system is up to date, and I have plenty of available memory. Everything else works fine, and other Adobe programs run smoothly. Previously, everything worked correctly, and the Remove Tool was fast and problem-free. I sought help via chat and even downloaded the screen-sharing application, but it didn't help; my problem was not resolved. My laptop is a MacBook M4 Pro. Please help me fix this so the tool works correctly and I can continue working.

I like to think AI as a collaborator in my creative process. I draw the original sketch design then ask AI for input on rendering art style ideas. Adobe Firefly is a great tool to render different ideas quickly Adobe PHotoshop to refine the illustration idea by generating edits plus adjust any extra elements easily. This process is a timesaver. Then I go back in and redraw the character in Adobe Fresco to edit the details to match my artstyle. I call this process my AI sandwich workflow and it helps me save time and generate within seconds to move on to the next steps. It's like a shortcut! Now I can move on to the next steps with my client work whereas before, I had to manually test different art styles and render artwork over and over again until the client saw something that they liked. I want to hear about your process and how do you reconcile the newest technologies with your talents in today's new AI world?! Example generated in Fireflymade with FireflyGenerative Expand in Photos

Ever since I began using a CFexpress Type-B card, I've noticed that when I upload new files via Bridge, not all of the files are being read.As an example, I shot 34 images this morning, but when I began uploading via Bridge, it read only 24.I have my Bridge programed to open up the Photo Downloader when I begin the process.But, when I open Photo Downloader first, then Bridge, all of the files I shot are correctly read. Has anyone else have/had this problem? Is there anything that can be done to sort this out?

Hi guys. I'm working on a project, but a problem arose that is driving me crazy. Basically, I have a smart object with some filters I duplicated several times. At first, I can change the filters parameters normally, but as I proceed adding more layers and enriching the project, the problem shows up. When I try to change a filter parameters (let's say Levels), the layer preview becomes distorted and after applying the changes the aspect changes. I don't even have to change anything, I just open the filter to modify it, I confirm and the same happens. I think all this is related to the Chrome filter, because when I try to change a filter applied to a smart object (let's say I just open it) that doesn't have the Chrome filter applied, the preview becomes distorted, but the layer aspect doesn't change. I don't know what to do. There's no going back. The fun part is when I update the smart object content (even adding a new blank layer is enough) and I see the layer preview restored, so I th

unable to load any file from my Photoshop web file list due to error - since yesterday - have deadlines but unable to access my work

I initially used the colour range tool to select objects in my file, I then added additional parts to the selection. when I use the fill tool the outlines of other layers come through with varying levels of transparency. I have tried making it a mask and editing its opacity however it doesn’t seem to have a quick fix apart from going back and manually selecting everything. 

The image below shows a cello string running diagonally from point M to point F within a Transform control box.  Is it possible to freeze point F and move or rotate the transformation from point M?   

We would need guides that can be turned however we want.

Good evening,I took a 3 row astrophotography panorama last night. Bottom and middle layers have aligned and stitched together on. But the top layer, all stars, fails to align in Photoshop and lightroom. I've spent the afternoon searching on the internet and YouTube and can't find anything that's helped. It may be I'm not working what I'm looking to do well enough. I was using an automated pano tripod head and wondering if I can copy one row alignment to another? But haven't figured a way to do that. Does anyone have any ideas?Many thanks in advance,Sam 

I have a ton of shape layers that I’ve placed in a Photoshop document, and they are all different sizes. I want to be able to select all of my shape layers and run a script or use a plugin that will resize them all to specific pixel dimensions (maintaining aspect ratio).This my first attempt: // Scale Selected Layers Scriptif (app.documents.length > 0) { var targetWidthInPixels = prompt("Enter the desired width/height value in Pixels", "126", "Batch Layer Resize"); if (targetWidthInPixels !== null && targetWidthInPixels !== "") { var doc = app.activeDocument; var selectedLayers = getSelectedLayers(); var targetWidth = targetWidthInPixels; // Define desired width in pixels // Ensure units are pixels for accurate measurement var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits; preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS; for (var i = 0; i < selectedLayers.length; i++) { // Get current layer var layer = selectedLayers[i];

Hello everyone,I am currently building a new PC mainly for photo editing. I will be using an Intel 265K CPU. Back in December, I purchased an ASUS RTX 5060 Ti OC with 16GB GDDR7 (90YV0MG0-M0NA00). However, some friends recently told me that an RTX 5070 with 12GB would be a much better option, as it has the faster chip and also better for KI features.I frequently use the Denoise feature in Camera Raw within Photoshop, as well as the newer AI-based artifact removal tools. Since I haven’t opened the graphics card yet, I still have the option to exchange it for the RTX 5070.Do you think the RTX 5060 Ti is sufficient for this type of workload, or would upgrading to the RTX 5070 provide a noticeable real-world benefit for these features?Thank you in advance for your advice.Kind regards Christoph

Hello,I am trying to use free transform to fit a screen onto this rectangle. I am not able to move the corners of my linked smart object independently. When I drag one, it causes the others to move.
