Photoshop desktop will not open files that are stored on my computer, Mac Tahoe 26.5.2. Photoshop opens but when I try to open a file it gives the spinning ball icon only. Photoshop has Full Disk Access. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled the app. Restarted the computer.

SECOND TIME, BUT ON A DIFFERENT COMPUTER.Today I attempted an update to PS 2026 which was probably at 27.7.  While updating it froze at 51%  with the message that it was taking an unusually long time and....  After waiting over an hour I canceled the update, closed all apps and restarted my computer.  Then tried to open PS and got this message.Also here is detail from Finder: This is on my Macbook Pro apple silicon with Tahoe 26.6.Less than a month ago the exact same thing happened on my Apple Studio and current OS.  Then, with costly outside support, I had to use CC cleaner and reload, etc with all the hassle that entails.  ADOBE:  PLEASE FIX THIS.  Otherwise how many times do I have to reload etc?QUESTION.  Do I have to use Creative Cloud Cleaner or is there a more efficient way like simply uninstalling PS and then reinstalling it.  

It only crashes when connected to internet (startup with wifi off is fine). Tried reboot. Tried shutting off firewall and virus sw. If I turn on internet after a successful start, if crashes within 4 seconds (I think it’s when it tries to turn on sync). How do I fix this? Lightroom seems to work fine. Auto updates is on and Photoshop CC appears to be up to date. 

As an IT-Supporter it is a nightmare to simply just deploy the Adobe Suite without the ability for the user to upgrade everything and create a version-mismatch on several adobe products. Now that we have finally decided to delve into Photoshop 2026 it has come to multiple users and my attention that the remove tool as well as some, if not all other “AI-Features” are completely unusable and won’t install no matter what.Apparently it does not make a difference if Creative Cloud can recognize Adobe 2026 being installed or not but it also seems that some Creative Cloud Licensed users can not see Photoshop installed on Creative Cloud, yet Photoshop works fine with License and everything but the “AI-Features” seems to work fine.Upon reading that this is an ongoing issue for several months now I am considering going back to 2025 for Photoshop just to be absolutely certain that this new and improved version does not ruin any more features outside of the AI-Required features.

 im in a huge panic and really need help. I hopped on photoshop today to find every single one of my creative cloud files GONE, including a uni assessment due very soon. Im freaking out. i have looked through the deleted files section of the creative cloud app, nothing, i have looked for multiple creative cloud file folders, still nothing. Its like the files never even existed. I did a disk cleanup a few days ago for an unrelated issue, but to try and remedy any loss that couldve occured, i ran a complete hard drive search using disk drill, which still came up with nothing. Its as if these files never even existed? and if the issue was on my end and i deleted the files somehow accidentally, firstly how are they not on the cloud when it is listed as cloud storage, and secondly, they shouldve appeared in my disk drill intensive search. i am on the brink of a meltdown because of this, please please help i am at a loss of what to do. Im running windows 10, and using cc

Smoetimes when i m trying to remove image background the error occurs 

I have paid for subscription of Photoshop and it worked wonderfully in my Desktop PC however I am having problems with installing same photoshop in my Other pc when I should be able to install it in at least 2 pc. all the requirements are fulfilled but still it shows error code 190. I have tried to speak to customer service as well but they seems to stop responding after listening to the problem how should I proceed.

When I am using Adobe Photoshop on the web, the color wheel is always off screen with no way to center it. This makes choosing anything from the right side of the color wheel impossible. Ive tried minimizing my screen or dragging it, but its locked in one fixed part of the screen and wont move. The first color circle is cut off slightly, making easier to navigate but the second circle is always cut off. As you can see I can only access cool colors, the rest cant even be scrolled to. PLEASE, fix this issue. I love the web version of Adobe for its quickness, but this is kinda killing the need to use it. It isnt just with Duotone but basically any effect where you can change the color of the effect.  

Hello,I am experiencing a serious issue in Photoshop that makes normal work almost impossible.Description of the problemWhen I use the Spacebar to temporarily activate the Hand Tool and move the canvas, Photoshop appears to record the mouse movement. After I release the spacebar and click with any tool (Brush, Lasso, Selection tools, etc.), Photoshop repeats the exact trajectory of the mouse movement that occurred while the spacebar was held.For example: I hold the Spacebar to pan the canvas. I move the canvas with the mouse. I release the Spacebar. I click with another tool. Instead of performing a normal action, Photoshop recreates the exact path of the mouse movement made during the canvas pan.The issue occurs with all tools, not only with the Brush tool.Important details The problem happens only after using the Spacebar (Hand Tool). Photoshop reproduces the exact mouse movement trajectory. The issue started recently; previously everything worked correctly. Reinstalling

When I lock certain layers I still can copy them draging with option key (macbook).It is really anoying. Please, please, please :)

I’m extremely frustrated with Adobe Photoshop’s generative AI. I’ve been trying to use it to remove tattoos from a model’s photos, but I keep running into limitations because of some vague “guidelines.” I paid for Photoshop specifically for generative fill, yet I can’t use it the way I need to for my work.I’ve spent hours trying to figure it out, and the support team just pointed me to the guidelines that restrict me from editing my images how I want. This isn’t what I signed up for. If I can’t use the tools I paid for freely, then what’s the point?Considering requesting a refund—this is not the product I was promised.Has anyone else run into these restrictions? How did you deal with it? im pretty mad and almost wanna never have to deal with adobe again because of this.

The following issue is most likely caused by a user error (aka Me), but for the life of me I cannot figure out what action I am performing to cause the subject error.  At some point small random square anomalies appear in all my edited images and such are saved with the file upon performing export operations.  See the attached edited image and zoom into the sky to see such anomalies for examples, with anomalies existing in other areas as well.  Any thoughts on what is causing these anomalies and how to resolve this issue?  Thanks ahead of time for your response.

So, apparently Adobe has begun adding metadata to images that says they were made with AI (or at the very least, that AI was used) if you used Gen Fill at all. I realized this because some websites, such as Instagram, have begun automatically labeling any images I had used Gen Fill on as "Made with AI" based on the metadata Photoshop had added, without the option for me to remove the label.I use Gen Fill to expand backgrounds a bit when I need to change the aspect ratio of an image (4x5 from a 2x3 for Instagram), or to more quickly and easily remove an unwanted object or blemish in photo I took and spent a lot of time and effort taking. I don't use it to create entirely made-up backgrounds or people. If I'd known my long hours setting up photo shoots, purchasing supplies, props, and more would all be given the label of "Made with AI" making my clients and other people think I'm just generating my photography, I would never have used Gen Fill in the first place. To me it's just bee

I have a problem with the export option in Photoshop. When I try to click the export button like I always do, I can't reach it because it's hidden at the bottom of the screen. I also tried hiding the Windows taskbar, but it didn't work. 

Since the update to v. 27.9.1 my gradients are all different. I know you can access the legacy gradients (Adobe hides classic and older preset libraries by default. To get them back, open the standalone Gradients panel via Window > Gradients, click the panel's fly-out menu (the four horizontal lines icon) but only a few of the many legacy gradients load. Is there anyplace online where I can download the complete legacy gradients from the version just before this current update?Thanks for your help.

Hello. As soon as I open photoshop, version37.9.1, even without opening a particular photo, the following message is displayed: "A required view could not be created, because the definition file is missing or corrupted". What to do? Merci.

I can open the filter gallery and see the image but there is no preview of the filter. And the filter doesn't apply when I click ok.  This is the case with any image, all RGB, 8 bit. What am missing? Thanks!

My tools not working correctly.  The lasso tool, when clicked, displays straight lines  all over the photo.  The spot healing tool does not work at all.  Many of my actions not working properly either. Its very hard editing when most tools and actions not working. I have tried suggested resets, nothing changes.  I have done al I could find to try short of uninstalling and reinstalling which I prefer not to do.Thanks for any help.  Debbie

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting in this forum so I’ll do my best to explain my issue. Today I encountered an unrelated issue regarding Photoshop brushes having seemingly random inputs. So, after a little reading, I saw that the solution seemed to be updating my drivers. I checked my laptop and saw there was a backlog of updating so I went ahead and installed those as needed. After rebooting and launching Photoshop, my brushes were fixed but I noticed the whites on my canvas, color picker, and layer thumbnails were tinted blue. I searched this forum and found someone else encountered this on this thread but the posted solution there did not work for me. Instead, I found a YouTube video from 9 years ago addressing a similar issue (instead of blue, it was yellow). They went into Device Manager and added sRGB profile to their monitor and set that as default instead of the monitor’s native profile. That semi-worked for me. The whites in my canvas and color picker seemed fixed, bu

This issue seemingly sprung up overnight. Whenever I drag using the marquee tool I no longer see marching ants and now get a black line instead. It’s a nightmare when working on dark layers. I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled, reset preferences, updated version… Nothing seems to be fixing it. Any help would be awesome. 

When I Save/Save As, I have to click endlessly away from last used to route- can we get a Windows Explorer bar at the top like most every other app?

Went to update a plugin for Photoshop via ccx file apparently managed through Unified Plugin Installer Agent through Creative Cloud.  It would not install.  Tried all the remedies I could find listed.  Nothing worked.  Attempted running the UPIA from the command line and it returned a -410! error/status message.  Of course, searching for some insights online turned up nothing.  The supposed alternative is to uninstall everything and reinstall everything.  An absolutely ridiculous approach on many different levels.  Curious if anyone has any ideas about what might be able to address this problem.  As it stands now, I have a commercial plug in I can’t use.  Considering all the other problems and indifference to customers that Adobe has demonstrated over the last few years, seems that if I am going to have to start over ever quarter with software that is not only invasive but constantly being updated an alternative should be pursued.  I have used PS since the 90’s.  Would hate to change f

Hello everyone, I've been experiencing a strange problem in Photoshop since yesterday. When I create a text box and try to write something like "100% cashmere," the % sign automatically moves to the left of the 100, resulting in "%100." Even when I copy-paste "100%" from Notepad, the % sign still moves before the 100. It's baffling! I have the latest version of Photoshop, and I'm on PC. In my screenshot, it's also strange because when I place my cursor just after the % sign and try to delete it, I can't. It's as if this action is blocked. Thanks you all of us

Since PS introduced the new 2026 Actions panel I cannot find a way to remove a stop.My actions were created years ago where there was a checkbox besides every step to include a stop or not. I had usually a stop checked, especially with save and close … in order to decide where I want it to be saved to.But using an action as a batch from Bridge I don’t want the stop to avoid to selecting location, etc every time. I want it to go without intreruption, saving (and closing) to the location determined in Bridge > Photoshop >Batch > select folder.In the past I just opened the first image in PS and unchecked the stop in the action. This allowed the selected location in Bridge Batch processing to override the original location in the actionNow, in the new actions pallet I cannot find a way to uncheck the stop that’s in my action and in general … to make Bridge Batch settings to override..Anyone, please!Thanks
