I don't suppose there's an option in Photoshop to get paths to move as they used to?Like a legacy option? Rather than the annoying feature when if you click near a point and handle Photoshop decides to move the point and rotate/change the handles as you move, rather than just the path point, if you get my point.  

Hi!Some serious frustration that I have, on a very consistent basis, been dealing with when using Adobe's Generate Fill function within Adobe Photoshop. Sometimes I get very picky customers that choose their own outfits. This particular customer kept asking me to take the photo at a lower angle. He felt that it (straight on) was too high. He then started to to notice that his eyes were squinted. I informed him that having the camera angle low and him looking DOWN at the camera naturally squints the eyes, hence why we have the camera straight on or slightly higher and have them tilt the chin down. That position naturally OPENS the eyes. Anyways, after several outfit changes at his desired camera angle we changed back and took a couple of photos in the outfits of his choosing that he decided he liked really well. After sending him one of the finalized photos he said that the outfit looked too "busy". Well... in the other outfits the camera angles are wrong and his eyes are squinted. I'd

Olá Adobers,Estou com um problema no Camera Raw, quando eu importo uma foto ou tento usar filter.Eu clico e parece como se ele abrisse em outro monitor, porém não estou com 2 monitores.Eu digo que ele aparenta abrir em outro local, pois após clicar no filtro para abrir, por exemplo, o photoshop fica ainda na tela, mas não consigo clicar em nada, parece que a janela do filtro está aberta em outro local da tela e eu não encontro ou vejo. Eu sei que está aberta, pois após usar o ESC ou o ENTER o Photoshop volta ao normal, como se eu tivesse encerrado a tela do filtro.Podem me ajudar?

I'm running Photoshop 2025 (26.22.0) on a Silicon Mac running Sequoia.Also running latest Beta.Both suddenly went sour when I tried to use any of the adjustable tools. All of them.Stamp tool, spot healing brush tool, all of them.  They stopped changing size and just remained as crosshairs.  And yes, I did look at the settings first.  Finally, after a bit of a struggle, Chat GPT gave me this workaround:  Close Photoshop1. create a plain text file:  NativeCanvas=0  and save it.2. open~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 2025 Settings3. Drag that text file in and name it: PSUserConfig.txtGot my cursors back.     

Hello Adobe team,When I try to use Photoshop’s AI features (such as Generative Fill or Neural Filters), I receive the message “The issue is general” and the tools do not work.I have already tried:- Restarting Photoshop and my PC- Updating Photoshop and Creative Cloud- Signing out and back in to Creative CloudThe problem persists. Please advise how to fix this.OS: Windows 11 64-bitPhotoshop version: 26.7 (or your version)

In the Layers panel, I noticed that all Fill Color layer icons have a gray slider bar illustration at their bottom: What is the purpose of that slider bar icon visualization? What is it inducing?

For the past year I have struggled with lag when using the zoom tool, brush tool and resizing my brush (GPU related actions) on my Windows 11 RTX 4090 Laptop. Disabling the GPU in Preferences fixed the brush tool issues, but obviously removed scrubby zoom, so even though I couldn't settle on using Photoshop like that, I could at least pinpoint that the issue was in fact related to the GPU. Throughout multiple remote sessions with Adobe Customer Support agents, I have tried:- Resetting all preferences, clean reinstalling Photoshop- Reinstalling and trying different NVIDIA drivers- Assigning Photoshop.exe and sniffer.exe to the NVIDIA GPU in the NVIDIA Control Panel- Doing the same in the Windows Graphics SettingsThe only solution I was provided with was to use Photoshop v22.2, as any version beyond that one had the above mentioned problem. This was obviously not an ideal solution, as I am paying for the current version of the software, not one from 3 years ago. Recently I noti

I followed a tutorial with curves and the curves eyedroppers that made me go into properties and change some settings. Specifically the black eyedropper settings. Ever since then every time I use the black eyedropper in levels or curves or if I use auto color, auto contrast or auto-tone my whole image will turn white.  Is there a way to reset these options in photoshop?If I delete photoshop and reinstall will photoshop reset to its original settings?I'm so frustrated with this. I can't find the tutorial I followed either so as to undo whatever it said I had to do.... 

I have a huge issue with PS, i normally use LR but every now and then i select a photo and use "Open as layer" in PS. 99.999999% when i am done i press save. The photo will now open in LR.But sometimes, like now ! the bloody photo just disapears from the face of earth. If i search for the photo in LR, nope, no photo by that name. Can someone please explain (if you know) why it does like this and if the photo is saved, where is it ? (18sex from trashing computer, camera, keyboard, mouse and god knows what that comes in my way, and i cant afford that so ...)

Is there a way to disable all AI tools in my photoshop? AI is damaging the art industry, destroying jobs, bad for the environment, lacks heart, and I want it gone. I hate these pop-ups telling me to try AI. My art and books (I'm an author too) have both been scraped by AI systems, and I'm about to lose my mind seeing this slop everywhere.And don't call AI art; a judge already decided it lacks human authorship. Can't believe Adobe betrayed artists like this.

Chat GPT  told me so  but I am not sure if it's true .For example  I want to do height map erosion  by slope blur  in sbsar on top of smart object.   Can I have red channel as main  height input , the green as a slope  and blue as intensity ?  My guess SBSAR on top of a layer can't get an access to other layers  but perhaps can split RGBA into 4 grayscale ones inside a SBSAR, right?  Should it work ?      I just want some easy to use and convenient tool  with half decent manual drawing tools  that neither Designer nor Sampler  seems never going to have.    And this not so recent but still a novelty  SBSAR support in Photoshop  + chatGPT scripting  that started to actually work in Photoshop  vs  former two   makes  sort of great hope for  Photoshop again.   

Why don't you bring the Ai (Adobe Illustrator) new doc social media template sizes into Photoshop? Is there a way to bring this file into Photoshop's settings folder (in AppData): "C:\Users\X\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 29 Settings\en_US\x64\New DocumentProfiles\Social.ai"Illy uses an Ai file as a template (for new doc sizes), but Ps uses a single "New Doc Sizes.json" file for it.  

I am using a "dissolve" layer set at say 10% opacity. When I  create a visible stamp layer the dissolve layer effects are no longer visible.  I am using the recent Photoshop Beta version 27.0.1. I tried using the file in a the most recent photoshop version and the same happens.  What do I need to do have the effects saved to the file and visible???

Good day all. Im hoping someone can assist me with this issue and I will be eternally grateful. I recently updated to the latest version of Photoshop(V26.11) and whenever I try to create a new document this is exactly how the screen pops up and I am unable to select anything. If anyone has a solution to this problem I will be so grateful as this is hampering my workflow currently.

Can I advise Apple to take over Adobe ? Hopefully, this would help not to wait that long to get PS compatible with MacOs 

Hi, I have been using photoshop on my laptop for years and it's always been fine. Recently though, it still loads up quickly but when I load an image (It used to load up multiple images in a quick cascade) I get the spinning wheel of death and it sits there with "not responding" for five minutes or more before the image appears. Any ideas? It does the same with older images that used to load instantly.

I had previously canceled my adobe plan and since i've gotten it back, the tool bar on photoshop does not light up and I am unable to use it. I tried turning the tools on and off, and I also tried resetting my workspace.    any ideas?
