Questions

I am trying to erase the edge of a photograph that I pasted on a new layer. I want the edge to be rough so it blends with the layer behind it. I click the eraser tool like I have for 20 years and then go to the canvas where I right-click my mouse and select a brush from the list of available brushes. Only now what happens is that as I select the rough-edged brush (for the eraser tool), suddenly the brush tool is selected and I am painting on my image. I have done this several times and it is really a pain. How do I convert my paint brushes for use across the board like they used to be? How can I make sure that all of my brushes are available for every brush-like tool (smudge, erase, pattern/clone, etc.)?And who made this choice? Why would you choose to voluntarily limit someone's functionality? What possible benefit is there to this new way of working with Photoshop?

I'm getting a 500 error message when trying to generate an image after updating a smart object with a png file. 

Fix errors installing Adobe apps

I've been using PS since V5, for over 20 years. Only in the last version have I had problems using the space bar to move around and ctrl + and - for zooming, while using the polygon lasso. In PS 26.3.0, it is hit or miss whether these BASIC controls work or not during lasso selections. Adobe, you're the industry standard and I've used these programs for 24 years. Why are there simple bugs like this happening? You can't go getting "comfortable" and letting these things slip. Please fix. This is basic. Thanks.

When I create artboards (for example, 1000x1000px), I already know that I'm going to have very severe lags when working. Starting from 4-5 artboards, Photoshop starts to slow down and lag a lot. At 10-12 it becomes unbearable. At 40-45, freezes occur for how many minutes, even with operations such as layer removal and resizing. I want to note that the layers do not represent something impossibly heavy or high resolution. These are texts and images no more than 900x900px (72 dpi). Usually my files contain 100-120 artboards. Obviously, it is impossible to work with such a volume. That's why I'm using the old version of Adobe Photoshop CC 20.0.7.. There are no lags in it. How does this happen? Why does everything lag unbearably in the new versions and work very fast in the old ones? Why are you making new low-demand functions but paying absolutely no attention to the performance of the program? Why should I buy a new version if I can download the old one and work much faster tha

Hello, I am facing this issue in Adobe photoshop. and my Adobe Creative Cloud is also can't be opened, Can someone help me with it? Thank you.    

Bonjour, chaque fois que je veux utiliser l'outil " Fluidité" ce message d'erreur s'affiche " Impossible d'exécuter la commande fluidité en raison d'une erreur de disque ". Comment puis-je régler ce problème ? En vous remerciant.

I noticed after an update earlier this year, the layers panel does not automatically show when I open an image to edit for the first time. I have to click on the layers "button" on the lower right hand side of the workspace to make it show the layer panel. Once I save that image, any time I open it again, the layers panel is there. If I open a new image to edit, the layers panel is gone again. I have to go back and click the layers "button" again to bring back the layers panel. Not a huge issue, but it is a nuisance issue. Included are images to show what I am talking about.

I'm getting a "Camera RAW requires graphics processor acceleration to edit photos" message in Photoshop 2025. Never had it before. MacBook Pro with Sequoia 15.1.1. I've checked the Battery settings and Automatic graphics switching is off. Please advice?

I was very sure that in CS6 you could get an options box that looked like this in the properties menu in order to edit the corners of a rounded rectangle. I've tried the commonly suggested solution of selecting the "paths selection tool" (black arrow) in order to reselect the rectangle and then the correct properties box would, in theory, show up. That has not worked for me. I've also been told of the possibility that CS6 doesn't have that options box that I'm looking for at all, which I'm pretty sure isn't true, because I'm rather certain I've used it before in CS6 (though it's not impossible that I could be wrong). Right now the masking options are all I'm getting, as demonstrated below.Are there any other solutions to this issue, or does CS6 REALLY not have that options box and no option to simply edit the roundness of corners on rectangles?

I have an image I want to crop to a specific dimension. In my case, I want to keep the crop aligned to the right side of the image with the top and bottom edges also aligned. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop? Note I'm not changing the height, but moving the crop rectangle to the far right.Thank youDavid

Hi. I need help. I have a problem generating the image. Every time I try to generate an image I get this message: There was a problem with the results. Please read our guidelines and try again. If you think this is a bug, please provide feedback.Sometimes it works, but usually I get this message. I will be grateful for your help. The problem occurs both in the basic version of Photoshop and in the beta version. All updates are up to date.I would be very grateful for your help

I've been trying to do this for many months but always ended up too confused and intimidated to go further. So no matter how dumb this question is, I have to ask it. My C drive has absolutely no space left. Disk cleanup, etc., does almost nothing to free up space. There just isn't any left and the drive is too small. I don't know when I'll be able to replace it with a much larger drive and move everything, including the OS. I uninstalled Photoshop and now want to reinstall it on a different drive. All updates, files, etc., everything associated with it, must also go on that drive. (any files saved to the desktop computer are already in the D drive and have been for a long time.) I'm trying to do it according to the Adobe instructions ("Change the install location of your Creative Cloud apps"), , but it isn't working. Account, preferences, apps, install, Select Location, pick D drive, just brings up the message that it can't install to the root folder. I just don't know where to go from

Hi community, I am looking to replicate this effect on the background through Photoshop. It seems to be an overlay with a mix of effects applied to it; I've tried to replicate it using glow, distortion, chromatic aberration, and dithering, but without success.Does someone know how I could replicate it in Photoshop?Thanks! 

When batching with the new denoise feature there is an issue with fine-tuning the strength. With a large amount of files batched it seems to default with 50, but when trying to adjust the slider it does not allow me to "click and drag" - it just adjusts to the spot on the slider that I first click. Similarly, if I wanted to dial in "65" it starts the adjustment as soon as I type in the 6 and adjusts the slider down to 6 - there is no way to dial in a two-digit number before it adjusts.

Not sure if this is a question or a bug, but we'll start as a discussion first. I'm a cover designer, and typically when I start working, I'll block off the back, spine, and bleeds so I can see what the cover is going to look like in isolation. To avoid distraction, I'll actually color pick the pasteboard (the grey background in Photoshop) so the blocked off bits look like they're part of the pasteboard itself. This works perfectly fine 100% of the time, until today. When I color pick the pasteboard (which is #282728 btw) the color picker gives me a lighter shade of grey (#888888). My workaround would be to save the accurate color as a Adobe Cloud asset or something, but I rather just pick and go, and I also want to be sure it's not part of a larger issue that's going to bite me. Attached are examples. I'm running the latest version of Photoshop (26.3.0, for post posterity) and on OS Sequoia 15.3.1. 

This is a terrible feature to me. Personally, I prefer seeing the expansion list within the panel. This separate panel covers art immediately and I cannot seem to move its location. If I could reposition it, it would probably not be as terrrible but it's dead center.  Anyone know a fix for this? TIA!

App: Photoshop v26.3 (though I tried to go back to v26.2 and it had the same problem)Computer: Windows 11 v24H2Issue: Can't use Outfit font in Photoshop - though I could before the recent update, and I can in all other Adobe tools.I can use Outfit (installed as a static font, not a variable one) on all my Adobe apps... EXCEPT Photoshop. How is this even possible? I have confirmed it is installed correctly in the system (Win 11), cleared the cache, reinstalled the app and the machine. Nothing works. Other fonts also don't appear in Photoshop, but they do elsewhere - this is just one example.How can you make an image editing tool that can't load basic system fonts like all your other apps do?

Here's my issue: I'm trying to add an inner shadow on my layer, but when I try to change the stroke, even by just 1%, it fills out the entire layer with the shadow color. The preview works fine, but in the layer, it's doing this weird thing.Does anyone know how I can fix this? I'm on PS 21.0.1
