Questions

Is this some kind of new feature that when selecting layers in Photoshop, the selected layers gets highlighted with a colour? Because if yes, is there a possibility to turn that off? For a person like myself, this feature is extremely disturbing and makes editing almost impossible. I just noticed this today. Like for real, for a neurodivergent person like myself this might lead to not being able to use the whole app, so... Concentrating on editing the photo is impossible when there is something completely else happening in the corner of my eye. Might seem like tiny issue, but it really makes working super difficult.  I have included a screenshot that demonstrates the issue, as I am not sure if people know what I mean. For Adobe: if this feature is here to stay, please include an option to turn it off. This is completely horrible.

I've noticed you're unable to select a marquee around an area of a mask, and "select and mask" only that portion. I think before the properties panel, you were able to do this, through refine mask? I did launch that dialog, but it doesn't composite the refined area over new area, it simply changes the selection.Select and mask is grayed out when there's a selection. Does this feature no longer exist? Did it ever? I tend to select portions of existing masks to revise based on clothing, or hair or skin, so I just want to focus on a portion at a time. 

Hi,a client of us has the Problem that he can't use the liquify tool any more. It tells him: Can't use the liquify Filter because of a Volume error.I found a lotot of closed threads here but:1 Disabling GPU is not a solution as of all the AI Functions now in Photoshop and the other solution downgrading to an older version was from 2021.Is anything known about this error with the acutal 26.4.1 Version?ThanksFrank

hello everyone, I'm literally going insane with this one. I have to meet a deadline tomorrow morning and I haven't been able to work since yesterday. First I got an annoying "Could not open "file name" because of a disk error".  I tried everything in other forums and nothing worked. I uninstalled the app and tried installing it again, but now I get a "Installation failed". I've been trying for the last 3 hours to reinstall photoshop and nothing is working, the day is dying and the amount of work I have ahead of me is enourmous and add the Photoshop issue. I appreciate any type of help I can get. Funny that tomorrow I have to pay for my Creative Cloud sub.

Hello adobe cloude contains photoshop 2019  

I can't activate PS v10 CS3. I have tried the published phone numbers for Adobe and they are invalid and it won't activate on line. I contacted their support who can't do it so they refered me to Forums. I have the correct serial number. When I used the link they gave me http://trials.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/legacy/99CABBAC-C975-4A06-8D99-064C6871EE80/PSE/10/win32/PhotoshopElements_10_LS15…     I got the message "The file archive part of Adobe PS Elements 10 is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe PhotoshopElements 10. Please download all parts." Please help.

When I create a simple PS droplet, it will go to the desktop, but when I drag a .jpg photo to the droplet, it says the droplet is damaged. So then I open the droplet and close it and it seems to open Photoshop, but then it won't open a new image and save the droplet preset actions to a new image.  I am in admin mode on my MacOS Ventura. What else could it possibly be?

Hello Photoshop community, Our studio specializes in creating product packshots, and we're looking to automate the process of generating Photoshop EPS files with embedded raster images and clipping paths. Workflow:We capture product photos and create an optimized alpha channel (black/white mask) for each image.From the alpha channel, we generate an SVG path, which will serve as the clipping path.We need to combine the rasterized product image with the SVG path into a Photoshop-compatible EPS file. We do this programmatically with a GUI where the user inputs the image, alpha channel and clipping path are automatically created. Then the GUI creates a Photoshop EPS file and returns it to the user. The Problem:We're facing difficulties generating EPS files that Photoshop can correctly interpret. We've tried various approaches, but consistently encounter these issues:Issue 1: Missing Clipping Path in Photoshop:The EPS file opens in Photoshop and displays the rasterized i

trying to fill in a specific red color(R-198,G-0,B-0), it shows on the color picker as the red i want when using the dropper tool or when i type in the RGB directly. But when i go to fill in it will turn black. Have checked to make sure the layers are in RGB and the view proof is in CMYK but no luck.  

After moving to a new M4 Macbook Pro I can't open video files any more. Tried multiple formats and coding. Every time I get the same message "Could not complete the command because the video file could not be opened." The installation is clean, both the MacOS (15.1) and the Photoshop (26.4.1). The same files just a week ago was opening perfectly fine on my old Macbook.  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I wanted to change it from alt+ drag right click to alt+crtl+leftclick, The same as clip studio paint as I'm much more used to that program. Yet for the life of me, I can't find [cursing removed] bind in the keybind shortcuts window. I'd appreciate it if this gets answered since my workflow is now a lot slower due to this.

when i copy an image from my primary browser Firefox and paste it into Photoshop, the image has a black background instead of transparency. bug fix?(i am running the lastest version of Photoshop) 

Hello everyone,I am experiencing some difficulties using this brush called Airbrush Soft High Density Grainy, that i was able to get by downloading the Legacy brushes pack in Photoshop version 25.5.1.I recently watched a video demo of this brush and the result wanted is much more different that what it actually does when I try it. It appears only as a grainy round flat stroke, not that 'gradient' texture fade i want to achieve.   Also the stroke it creates on the canvas is way different that the stroke preview I see in the brush panel. I am using a wacom Pen & Touch tablet. I tried messing with the settings a little, but nothing seems to work and fix it.

It would be great if you could add TV and PC screens using a script without having to manually drag and drop them. Hope everyone can help ^_^

Hi there. Very frustrated and trying to figure out why the new AI assistant will not allow me to select a single column or row. It keeps de-selecting the thing I directly clicked on and asking me what I want to do. Also, it is preventing me from zooming in on the canvas. On another note, I can no longer find the controls that allow the user to change the colors, transparancy, and gradiant in the gradiant panel. Please Adobe, when you make changes like this, why do you need to hide the menus? 

I am trying to create a transparent mask for the selected image by adding a transparent gradient to the mask layer. Try as I might, I cannot figure out how to do it.. Any ideas where im going so wrong on this. CheersRob

When I try to open up Photoshop files, they will not open.  This is Adobe Photoshop Beta. But I did notice through my Icloud there is a new version of Photoshop 2025, the file will only open up if I open that first and then open up through the open app. Not sure why it is doing this? 

Hi, is there a simple way to resize photos of different sizes and dpi to 1 MB and 300 dpi? I have a lot of them and they are all different sizes & dpi. The online instructions are very complicated and there seems to be a lot of guesswork involved unless you are formally trained. As one example, I open a 637 KB photo in Photoshop and select 100% increase and 300 dpi. It exports at over 9MB in size. So I experimented with 50%, 100%, 200% and 300% using the original 637 KB photo and all are resizing at over 9MB. It doesn't make any sense to me. I tried originally with pixels width and height but I feel you need a degree to figure that out.

Hey folks,I'm on the latest version of Photoshop CC (21.1.2), latest Windows 10. When I'm using the Pencil tool, and accidentally press down Ctrl, it switches to the Move tool & enables auto-select (or if I have auto-select enabled to begin with, begins a rectangular selection.)This can be annoying because my fingers hover over Ctrl + Z when I work. So I might try to draw a line, and end up moving the whole layer. Is there any way to disable this behavior? I can't find it in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts. Thank you in advance to any responders!

Desde el día de ayer, con la última actualización de Photoshop Beta, al abrir la aplicación se muestra una ventana con una lista de validaciones entre las cuales, una en rojo dice: Nivel de Funcion 11.00 disponible, nivel de funcion 12.00 necesario. Qué problemas me puede ocasionar esto? porque cerrando dicha ventana puedo trabajar normal en la aplicación. Saludos.
