Ever since I updated to the latest version of photoshop, the select and mask tool is giving me weird results. It is recognizing the subject in the photo, but it is recognizing it in the wrong location. Its as if it is selecting where the subject was before the image was moved to a different spot on the canvas. Photos attached.

Hey all,I'm a novice Photoshopper and hoping a kind soul can help. I have searched for this answer but cannot get it right. I believe this is simple - and hope someone can describe clear steps to solve the issue! 1) I have a text box. It is a three letter acronym. I have selected size/font etc.2) I wish to make the text itself thicker - not bigger, or further spaced apart - simply, thicker. Can anyone tell me how to do that?  It's just a text box with 3 letters in it. Which I need to make thicker. Thanks!

I would like to know when Camera Raw will support OnePlus 13 RAW files?

What is this error? I'm using Remove Tools. I wait about two minutes for it to process and start working, and then it sometimes displays this error. They’ve already screwed up Adobe Premiere, and now they’ve gone after Photoshop! Enough is enough! First your export wasn't working, and now Remove Tools isn't working.

I’m trying to follow some of the youtube tutorials to change a photo into an oil painting style. I create an alpha channel (50% or 30% grey), make a selection based on the alpha channel, reselect the RGB channel but when I prompt to "oil paint" the creations have nothing to do with my photo.Seems to only be a problem in the new model and not the older models. Is there a reason for this?

The Generative fill doesn’t respect a selection. It used to but it doesn't anymore. I tried on diferent computers and versions, also updated to the latest version ( 26.4.1 ). When an area is selected without any feathering the Generative Fiil generatation goes beyond the selected area. Is there an option to stop this behaviour so it works like it used to do?Thanks

I removed the Nik Collection 8 from my Mac but the still show up in the Creative Cloud panel (Plugin) as well as in Photoshop. How can i remove the entirely. Seems they’re just still menu items.regardsReimund

Macbook Air M5, 25mb ram, 2tb hard drive with 1.25tb space on the drive.Photoshop 27.5.0All works fine opening raw files from a Canon R5 (.CR3 format) but when I try to use Super Resolution in Camera Raw window it stops with an error: “Could not open “_123456.CR3” because the file-format module cannot parse the file.” I have used super resolution with other CR3 files in previous versions on an M1 Macbook Air with no issues at all. Is this a bug or have you guys changed something?

When selecting a menu object (drop down menu, a slider with number in field (such as the crop aspect ratio menu or the feather amount in Select and Mask) or a check box (like the preview check box in Select and Mask), the menu object stays highlighted after clicking it. I have to hit Enter to remove the highlight. This happens only on Windows 10 and Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.2.0 20251213.r.15 e3408e7   My Mac Pro 2013 running Photoshop 2024 does not have this issue.On my Mac the operation goes like:Select Menu item-> Menu item does not remain highlighted-> can switch to next key or function. Windows, Select Menu Object->  try to switch to another key (such as arrows or space bar),→ previously selected menu object stays highlighted Here is a link of the video screenshot showing the issuehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1rJlQ-yKC7FC9RLacCmbUX5VKuodGEkeh/view?usp=sharing To explain the video: When I try to use the up and down arrows to nudge after I select the crop ratio, the me

I’ve been using the “Select People” feature in Camera Raw since it was introduced, and it’s always worked well for me until recently. Now it has completely stopped working.Every time I try to use it, it processes for a moment and then returns the error: “Unable to select people in this photo.” This happens on every image I try, even simple headshots with a single person clearly facing the camera.I’ve already tried updating Photoshop and Camera Raw, uninstalling and reinstalling both, and updating my operating system. None of that has fixed the issue. I’ve also confirmed that all other masking tools (object, background, sky, etc.) are working as expected. It’s only “Select People” that fails.For reference, I’m running Adobe Photoshop v27.5.0 on a 2020 iMac (3.6 GHz 10-core Intel Core i9).This is a feature I rely on regularly, so it’s been incredibly frustrating to lose it without any clear reason.Has anyone else run into this issue or found a fix?

Photoshop Wont let me Double Click into my text box anymore and I have to use the thumbnail, which throws a wrench into my work flow. I have to think the only thing could be is that this only. happens when using artboards? there or a few other things like that and I've noticed that the only difference that's obvious to me right now is that I'm using art boards and I wasn't before. Could that be it?

Tight label edges trip up Photoshop's selection tools because the software struggles distinguishing fine fabric detail from background pixels. Switching to the pen tool instead of quick selection fixes most close-cut problems immediately. Refining edges manually under Select and Mask also recovers detail most automatic tools destroy. [Spammy link removed by moderator]

Hi, seem to have an issue when trying to use my Fill Short Cut (Shift/F5) iwhen using Logi MX Keys keyboard. Dont know if it is the keyboard or a software switch I am not turning off or on in Photoshop. I have examined preferences/ short cut keys and memnues. The default is correctly set for Photoshop. Any Ideas?

Hello, I am a CTE and Art teacher in Seattle and we are currently struggling with the Photoshop tutorials. I am using Google Chrome, on desktop computers newly purchased by my district. I am having issues with students seeing the “learn” button and being able to access the same tutorials in the same way which is key for teaching a class of 30 students. We’ve tried resetting the workspace, next I am going to try Purge and purging all. What else do you recommend? IT support in my district does not know how to use the program… 

Hi everyone,I’m currently using an older PC with limited hardware performance, and I’m exploring the possibility of running Adobe applications through Microsoft Azure (virtual machine/cloud setup).I have a few questions and would really appreciate your insights:Can Adobe apps (like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, etc.) run smoothly on Azure without noticeable lag, especially on a low-spec local machine? How dependent is the experience on internet speed and latency? Will the performance be comparable to running Adobe apps on a high-end local desktop? Is the overall experience (UI responsiveness, rendering, playback, etc.) the same as the native desktop version, or are there limitations? Are there any common issues or challenges (input lag, file handling, GPU limitations, etc.) I should be aware of?I’m mainly looking for a stable, lag-free workflow for creative tasks despite having older hardware locally.

I tried to use Firefly upscaler to enlarge an album cover, but I’m getting a guidelines error.   “We encountered and issue with your result.  Please view our guidelines and try again."  The problem is a very simple and tasteful nude illustration on the cover.  If I remove the nude artwork, the upscale is generated without any problems.   Images are below.  Image on left would not upscale, but the image on the right upscaled without a problem.  While I understand this is intended to prevent users from creating pornography or images with explicit nudity, this image is clearly neither of those things.  I was able to use a competitors software to get the job done, but it would be a more efficient workflow to stay in Photoshop.    I've seen numerous posts from users in the fashion industry that cannot upscale images for the same reason.  If you worked for a publication like Playboy, I would imagine the generative tools would be completely useless for editing their content. There needs to be

The generative upscale in Photoshop has crashed. Neither Topaz nor Firefly has been working for hours. The loading bar fills up but then it gives an error.

I create renders in V-Ray/Maya. I’ll have a PSD that is a stack of different render elements, all of which have had the ‘As Transparency / As Alpha Channel’ option specifically selected when I’m creating my composition.Often, I’ll start compositing as soon as my render has started, rather than waiting for the final image. If I save out the render elements again whilst my render is running, or when it’s finished, when Photoshop automatically updates the smart objects it breaks what option I’ve chosen and will choose it’s own option - I think it goes by whatever I selected last.Can Adobe please make it so that the render layers keep their chosen option when they are (automatically) updated?

Ive been following everything and i still cant do itI press option and click on the layer mask channel to paste my texture overlay and it still doesnt paste. No matter if i do it the shortcut way or the way through the menu and ive reset my tool and the app and still nothing im so frustrated.

Seeking assistance for a zooming issue. I have already checked and unchecked enable gestures and scroll to zoom, ensured that photoshop is using my systems graphics processor and the issue persists. I am able to zoom by pinching on other applications so it is not a hardware issue. The left-right scrolling also seems to be inverted. I have also uninstalled, reinstalled both photoshop 2024 and 2025. Any assistance would be much appricated as this has entirely derailed my workflow

When trying to add a new color swatch the first in line is replaced instead. Not possible to create a new one. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone. As above, how do I speak to an actual person online about my ended subscription plan, the virtual assistant is a complete and utter total waste of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About 2 releases ago, I began to have an issue where the spot removal tool, intermittently, takes a VERY long time - like 10 to 15 seconds to do a simple white dot removal on a uniform black background.  I’ve tried to work through it, hoping Adobe would fix the problem, but this is absolutely killing my productivity.  System:I9 285K RTX 5070 TI 64BG DDR5 Asus  ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI MB Win 11 64 Latest updates and drivers for everythingSettings:Generative AI Off Remove after every click Spot size ~ 35 Nothing but Bridge and PS runningProblem Details:PS is seemingly random as to when it has this issue.  I haven’t been able to discern any pattern.  I can be removing leaves from the surface of a pond, for example.  I will click on 2 or 3 leaves and they are removed almost instantaneously (as was always the case before this problem appeared) with good results.  The next leaf I click on, a popup appears and the progress bar creeps across.  8 to 20 seconds later, it finishes.  It might do

I have updated to PS 26.11 but Image->Generative Upscale is not there. My gpu is compatible, I am using rgb color space and the image I am using is pretty tiny. My preferences dont show it as a technical option to tick. What gives?
