Questions

Hiya, sorry if this is the wrong thread to post in! I am new to photoshop and have created a coloured sketch. I have been duplicating layer 1 and making changes using the duplicated layer. However, I have noticed that these extra layers I have made, although, using the same colours, it presents as faded e.g. the black looks a bit greeney and the pinks look the same, as if there's a filter on. I have checked the adjustments and profiles but everything seems to be the same with 100% opacity. Is there any solution to this please as Layer 1 is not the layer I will be using, however, I prefer the colours on layer 1, despite using the same colours. Many thanks!

Is a script still required to repeat/play an action X number of times (i.e. cmd+opt+T)? I want to do this 100 times. Thanks,Greg

Not sure why this keeps happening when I make a gif. I'm using the most up to date version of photoshop on a mac m1, i'm exporting the file via legacy and render video, and i've tried uploading the photos from differnent locations thinking that maybe the location is corrupting them. Any help is appreciated. 

I use Photoshop on my Mac OS and am pretty new to all of it. However, today my Photoshop Filter Gallery keeps bugging out everytime I use it on an image. It turn the entire image black no matter how much I adjust it! The strangest part too is that "Note Paper," Chalk and Charcoal," "Chrome," and "Water Paper" work just fine. I'm currently up to date on 24.3.0, and have my image mode set to 8 bit RGB. Any idea what could be wrong?

Photoshop 2025版本 不能使用旧版扩展，目前有替代方案吗？ 

Hi everyone. Just another "update" causing me issues...The marquee tool now seems to shift to only having options in the "style" box for "generate image" or "import image".I just want to use the good old marguee tool on normal / ratio etc. but seems to keep switching to this new version where width / height are greyed out.Any thoughts? Can't find a legacy button like some of the other new features that overcomplicate everything.Thanks in advanceSam H Photoshop 26.2  macOS Sonoma 14.1

Hi everyone, I’ve recently been made redundant, and it’s been a challenging time both mentally and financially—especially after learning yesterday that my company has gone into administration, meaning I won’t be receiving my notice period pay or redundancy. I’m now looking to start my own business and take on freelance work. I was wondering if Adobe offers any discounts on Photoshop for individuals like me who are trying to get back on their feet. I’d really appreciate any information or advice. Many thanks 

I've noted in the latest release of Photoshop 26.3.0, there appears to be a bug when using the lasso tool.When using this tool and marking the bottom of a photo (as in filling out a block of area), if you select Fill (content aware, 100%) it will leave a residual around the edges of the framed area. This does not occur if you use Generative Fill.I've included a photo to illustrate this. I blocked off an area at the bottom of the photo with the lasso tool, and then filled as described above. The black edges remained on the lef and right sides as well as the bottom of the image.Any ideas why this should start happening now?

I am a photo editor. I purchased a photo from AP today. When I attempt to open it, I get this message:"This file contains file info data which cannot be read and has been ignored."There is no metadata in the image when i view the file info.What is happening? I have not had this problem in a while.

Question for all of you. Right now I have a 2019 27in 5k iMac that has 40gb of RAM.  It does run great but i am itching to just upgrade and get on Apple Silicon. I am looking to upgrade to a M4 Mac Mini and want to ask fellow Photoshop Digital Painters if 16gb of RAM is enough.  I do mostly print art, nothing to large 11x17 seems to be my max at 300dpi. Most of my files are well under 1gb and thb most sit under 500MB.  I do some video editing but just for fun and If i did it would be for web only. I wanted to reach out because most of the advice on the internet is for people who are photo editors and graphic designers, NOT digital painters/artist.  Anyone have any experience with this?

I've searched for the answer and couldn't find it, but now I'm baffled.When I open an existing file and make a change to it and "Save As" (to create a new file name) the date I'm getting is the original file save date - even though I made a change and saved it with a new file name. If I create a NEW canvas and paste the same image, it gives me the current date when I choose "Save As". Why is it giving me the original file save date on the hard drive? This is making it impossible to sort my files by current date unless I create a new file. In older versions, if you saved a file with a new name it gave you the current date!  Thanks again.. sorry to be inundating people with these issues, they're all on the subscription version and it's frustrating.

HelloI have a mid 2014 macbook pro, and because of compability issues with later OS, I am using macOS Sierra 10.12.6.Now, even though I have a CC plan, and the application is recognized in the list of installed apps in the Creative Cloud app, Photoshop wont run. When I try to run it, I get asked to licence the software, and when I log in, it says I dont hae a licence for this application.Is there a way to have this older version of Photoshop registered to my license/my CC account?This seems like a very simple problem, that Adobe should be able to solve quite easily!Please help. I should not have to buy a new computer to run Photoshop (if I update my OS, the computer will not work properly)Additional info: I have been using the adobe applications for years on this computer. The last years have been on a student account, as my university provided the applications for their students.

Every time I bring Photoshop, Ilustrator or InDesign to the foreground, the menus move to the centre of the screen and I have to reset the workspace. I only use these three Adobe apps, so don't know if it happens on others too. At work, I'm using two Samsung 32" monitors set to 3480x2160 resolutions. At home I have one of the same monitors plus an old small one. This happens at work and at home. I have the same mac mini M1 at home and at work. I'm using OS X 13.4.1 at work and OS X 12 something at home.I am using Photoshop 24.5, Illustrator 27.6.1 and InDesign 18.3 at work.I tried deleting the preferences in Photoshop, and it seemed to work, but after a day or so it was back to its usual behaviour.

I have made a selection using the Magic Wand tool in Photoshop CS3.Does anyone know how I can create a shape from that selection?Thanks in advance.

I'm working with a project in Photoshop ArtBoard which contains several Artboards.  I have several separate animations in the project each located in a separate ArtBoard.  I want to activate each animation separatekyI've successfully loaded the animations.  However, what has become apparent is that all of the animations in the project share the same timeline.  So, you play one animation, and all animations need to play. My question is - is it possible to have multimple timelines in an ArtBoard project so each separte animation on each separate ArtBoard has its own timeline?  If that is possible, how is it done? Thanks!

Hi I'm  having issues in PS where my images won't open as layers when I choose Edit > Open as Layers in PS. PS will open and a couple of layers will work but it then stops with 2 tabs open, one of the tabs could have a couple of images as layers, but will include a layer saying 'Load Layers' and then another tab will have one of the other images on it.  Not all images have also been loaded. Anyone got any ideas what's happening?   

I want to create a simple Adobe Bridge metadata template where the only change is to add the existing filename to the metadata title.   i.e. my filename is; Some exciting descriptive title.jpg and I want that image metadata title to be Some exciting descriptive title.  This will be used to batch-update a folder of carefully named images so each carries its filename in the metadata title of that image. I have many hundred images to process once I get this working. Cut-and-past the filename is a non-starter. I have tried many things, including the above, which, of course, does not work.Any guidance is gratefully accepted, Regards Paul

As stated in the title I'm having issues using the Export Layer to File function in PS. I've tired closing and reopen the program, closing the program and restart my computer, downgardaing to lower versions of PS and finally streight up uninstall PS and CC desktop completely from computer and reinstalling. Nothing has worked and I've pretty much wasted one of my few free days troubleshooting rather then doing what I wanted to do. I am very fustrated as I have never had this problem before in all the months I've been using PS. I have made no special update on my computer I can think of that would trigger such an odd error and online search for answers have yeild nothing. Help? I'm on Windows 10.

No idea why I am still paying for this pile of ****Years since the CTRL D has worked properly.PS hogs up to 14GB of memory while sat doing nothing.Text in a shape disappears when using a different PS version. These bugs have been in PS for at least a decade!!!! Multiple systems and hardware.

Hi, it seems like when filling an object (Ps desktop, 26.3 version) and that object is the layer itself, it fills the whole canvas not just the object. I even tried it with transparent background, doest the same. I did not have this issue at all when using the previous version. Hope someone can help. Thanks a lot.

And above all, this policy applies not only to the US but also to the restof the world. In Europe, we have no issues with having images of statuesand paintings of nudes in school books, even for the youngest. We do nothave the same aversion to nudity that exists in the USA. Therefore, thisAdobe policy is not only inappropriate, but we even find it ridiculous. Youcan see as many nudes in art as you want, both male and female, just bywalking around the squares of Italy. Since we are talking about a paidproduct that isn't cheap, I find it absurd that someone decides whichimages I can process and which I cannot. Here, we don't even have a lawpreventing work with images of banknotes like there is in the USA. Theprinciple is that it is the user of the tool who is responsible for whatthey do with it, not the tool itself or its manufacturer. In theory, in mycountry, it might be possible to sue Adobe as the applied limits could beconsidered an unfair clause in the license agreement.--Dario de J
