Hi everyone,I'm experiencing a very specific issue with Photoshop Generative Fill (Firefly Image 5). It constantly throws the error "The service is not responding" whenever I try to use it.This issue started immediately after my Wi-Fi was repaired.Important Detail / Behavior: Whenever I perform any troubleshooting step (like flushing DNS or signing out/in), Generative Fill will work ONCE for the very first prompt, but on the second attempt, it fails again with "The service is not responding".Here is what I have already tried so far: Flushed DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns) Signed out and signed back in via Creative Cloud Desktop App Checked and temporarily disabled Firewall/Antivirus Ensured Photoshop and Creative Cloud Desktop are fully updated Inspected the hosts file to ensure no Adobe endpoints are blocked Switched to Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) It seems like the initial handshake/token validation succeeds, but subsequent requests or response streams get dropped o

I have created a path and typed text into it. Along the path is a little circle with an x in it. This little x appears to be hiding my text and i can not move it. How do I get my text to show up???

I'm currently designing a full vehicle wrap for our local taxi fleet [link removed]Since this will be printed on large-format vinyl, what is the recommended document resolution (DPI/PPI) and color mode setup in Photoshop to ensure sharp print quality without freezing the system?

HelloCan anyone help? Since the update at the end of May 2023, the brush shortcut for size and hardness control no longer works (ctrl + Alt + Right Mouse + drag left/right).I have gone into any tool, preferences to check, tried other keyboard shortcuts and watched tutorials. I even uninstalled and reinstalled PS.I suspect it's a bug, has anyone had the same problem or solved it already? Thanks

Wenn ich wie gewohnt im Firefly Arbeitsbereich von Photoshop ein Bild mit Hilfe von Referenzbild und Quellbild erstellen möchte kommt jedes mal die Meldung “Da hat etwas nicht geklappt.” Habe auch Prompts aus der Vergangenheit ausprobiert mit den entsprechenden Referenzbildern, die schon einmal geklappt hatten. Auch diese funktionieren nicht mehr. Ich habe noch mehr als 3000 generative Credits. Photoshop wurde heute morgen upgegradet. Was kann ich tun, um wieder Bilder generieren zu können?

Filter layer: Like an adjustment layer but it uses a mask to apply a selected filter to any number of layers below the Filter Layer while keeping the filter parameters adjustable. Premiere can do this by making a shape an adjustment layer and applying a filter to it. Good for frosted glass boxes for titles with gaussian or zooming in to an area with transform effect.

Changing a layer containing a graphic from Normal to any of the options no longer works. Previously as I scrolled down the list, a preview of each choice would display. That is also no longer functioning.Photoshop 27.8.0Mac OS 26.5.2

Does anyone know why I sometimes have to press a tool shortcut several times for the tool switch to stick?For roughly the last six months (not exactly sure), I’ve noticed this on all four of my computers. In about 50% of cases, I have to press a shortcut key (for example, B) several times to make sure the tool actually switches.If I press it only once or twice, I can literally see the tool switch to the Brush tool and then immediately switch back to the previous tool.Has anyone else experienced this?Please don’t recommend disabling Spring-Loaded Tools, because I don’t want to have to press another shortcut again to switch back after temporarily using Zoom (Z).

Hello, I have a bug on my personal computer. When I use Photoshop, after two or three edits like generative expand, painting, or even just hue and saturation, Photoshop makes my computer crash and restart. I use the license at my office at work with no problem. So it really seems to come from my PC, or maybe a setting that needs to be changed in PS. Does anyone know the solution? I'm using the latest version of Photoshop. I’ve tried turning my computer off and on again, reinstalling Photoshop, reinstalling the Creative Cloud suite, but nothing works. _____Bonjour, j’ai un bug sur mon ordinateur personnel. Quand j’utilise Photoshop, après deux ou trois retouches comme l’agrandissement génératif, la peinture ou même juste teintes et saturation, Photoshop fait planter mon ordinateur et le fait redémarrer. J’utilise la licence au bureau sans aucun problème. Donc tout indique que le bug vient de mon PC, ou peut être d’un paramètre à modifier dans Photoshop. Est ce que quelqu’un connaît

I recently discovered that banding has started appearing in smooth color gradients when saving JPEGs in Adobe Photoshop. Naturally, I always save at maximum quality—12 out of 12. If I save as an 8-bit TIFF and then convert to JPEG using FastStone, I can select RGB as the photometric type in the save options; furthermore, I don't necessarily have to choose 100% quality—which would result in a 40 MB file for my example—since 95% is perfectly adequate for me, yielding flawless gradients and a file size of 16 MB, matching what Photoshop produces at its maximum quality setting (12 out of 12). Samples are here: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/7mPxpYfAsDOR7gCan you implement RGB photometry support in JPEG to achieve better image quality?

Hey there,Since the introduction of the EU AI Act I need to know precisely which tools in Photoshop will get my work flagged as AI, so I can circumvent their use.I already ditched LRC because of this and for not getting any answers on said questions anywhere. Working with the basic toolset on PS right now, but since selections apparently are also made with AI now, and anything involving AI seems to get flagged, I need to know precisely, please. Why - because some of my clients aren’t very happy about getting their pics flagged upon using them on Meta platforms because I removed a bottle, and because they need to be “clearly marked” as “Made with AI” or whatever else. I can already see this becoming a huge headache. Marking every single file in various sizes for print and Social Media. Thanks.Please someone clarify. I can only find slop info on this, plus a PDF from Capacanada, and I have to ask for every single tool, because a general slop question leaves tools out it informed me as us

As i scroll down on font types, photoshop stopped and shut down.

It's no wonder there have been a few threads here about printing from macOS Sequoia.   I'm not an early adopter, meaning my main Mac is still on macOS Ventura and, mainly, PS24, so I've not experienced this printing issue.. But, today I experienced the Sequoia/Photoshop 25 print pipeline issue we've been hearing about here. I wonder about macOS Sonoma too now.    In Photoshop's print process, I prefer to use Photoshop Manages Color and select the ICC profile myself - meaning that, now, I just need to go to the Print Settings (which opens the Epson or Canon etc. print driver), and, there, under Printer Options/Print Settings I select the media type and also check that in the Color Matching section the options are greyed out - with Colorsync selected [here, as below, the options should be greyed, because selecting Photoshop Manages Color tells the driver to disable color management].      What's the issue with printing?Selected options within

I’ve been publishing for over thirty years and never had this issue. KDP demands exact dimensions for book covers, but recently, I am unable to resize images to fit those dimesions. I realize Photoshop uses pixels, but in publishing, you have to use inches. When i go to image size and deselect the resampling, as advised, and then insert my proper dimensions, Photoshop changes those dimesions so that the cover size is incorrect.I’ve tried checking and unchecking resample.I’ve tried starting over with a new template of the size needed, and it still won’t let me decide what size I need. The correct width and height is 13.198 x 9.25. When i can make those changes and save it, then open it back up, Photoshop has changed one or the other setting. The settings have to be exact, so without a solution to this, i can’t upload book covers. 

Photoshop version 20.0macOS Monterey, version 12.0.1Image> Resize> Image Size is changing the size of the canvas, instead of the size of the image on the canvas.I often resize large grayscale images that I have scanned, so that I can create smaller multiples to print on one 8.5" x 11" page.  In the new version, resizing the image *also* resizes the canvas to the same size as the image, instead of preserving the canvas size at 8.5" x 11".  (For example, when I resize an image to 2" x 3", the canvas size changes to 2" x 3" right along with the image.)

I recently upgraded my motherboard and now I can’t use my copy of Photoshop CS6 because it says my serial number is already in use by the maximum allowed computers.Those computers no longer exist, so I have no way to deactivate the licences on them.I tried to deactivate devices in my account settings, but that didn’t help. Is there any other way to deactivate the old installs? Thanks

I clicked the mask thumbnail, checked whether the colour is set to real black but the brush does not erases the parts of the embedded image anylonger.Any clue how to fix this? I used it earlier this morning without problems however all of a sudden this issue appeared… problem solved 😉

Hello everyone, my name is Leo. I am from Chengdu, China. I have encountered a considerable predicament. I intend to purchase the latest iteration of Photoshop via the official platform for self‑study; nevertheless, I am denied access to the official up‑to‑date tutorials as well as practical operational resources. For Chinese citizens, access to overseas servers is not permitted under domestic regulated internet infrastructure. Unauthorised deployment or procurement of circumvention‑oriented technical services constitutes a violation of relevant laws and regulations. Consequently, I am precluded from viewing and studying the latest official tutorials released by Adobe, which leaves me deeply distressed. I earnestly solicit assistance from instructors, fellow community members and academic practitioners. Could anyone advise viable solutions to this dilemma? I anticipate feedback from all educators, peers and specialists. Thank you, and I wish everyone well‑being in daily life.

Quite expensive for such a program! that crash every day, delaying my work as much assomeones sanity can handle. every day I have to close and open at least about 5 to 10 times each session to reset photshop. Dont accpt keyboard shorcuts, or when tools selects it keep selecting something else, not responding to command on layer.

This seems to be a new recent flaw in the Photoshop desktop application where it doesn’t display or even process colors to match those in the ipad Photoshop. Colors on the desktop Photoshop are duller, darker, and even create a grey fuzzy outline around the blended edge of a layer. This gets even worse when I have the Ipad color profile on RGB, then bring it to the desktop Photoshop also in RGB. It seems less bad when going from HSB sliders on the ipad into RGB desktop photoshop, but still bad enough that I can’t continue like this. Please, please help! 

Photoshop is suddenly now forcing Content Credentials on ALL my exports, regardless or whether or not any AI was used, and regardless of whether or not Content Credentials (Beta) is enabled. See attached screenshots. Additionally, it’s saying the export used Adobe Firefly specifically. Not any other AI model. So it’s basically branding every export with Adobe Firefly, regardless of reality.

I am trying to user Adobe Photoshop API to create PSD with groups, i.e. https://developer.adobe.com/firefly-services/docs/photoshop/api/photoshop-v2/, to create a PSD file programmatically. I tried to create a simple PSD with groups of layers. But even though I think I followed the API schema, I still get “An unknown error occurred” error response. For example a payload like below trying to create a PSD with one group that has 2 image layers in it. {    "image": { "source": { "url": "<GET_BACKGROUND>" } },    "edits": { "layers": [      {        "name": "group1", "type": "group_layer",        "operation": { "type": "add", "placement": { "type": "top" } },        "children": [          { "name": "source", "type": "layer",            "operation": { "type": "add", "placement": { "type": "top" } },            "image": { "source": { "url": "<Image1>" } } },          { "name": "add", "type": "layer",            "operation": { "type": "add", "placement": { "type": "top" } },
