Hi, I always save the address of my post so I can returm to it, but now it doesnt find it, all my saved addresses which form part of my reference library for how to do things, and be able to follow upon my posts, are not takling me to them.Merlin

Im using PS 26.11 on the new Mac OSX Tahoe 26.0 but the problem was also on previous OSX.Photoshop is doing freaky previews on PSD layered files as you can see in the pic below, its like a combination of layers on the PSD file.   The real problem is photoshop Droplets no longer work so I bought an app called RetroBatch to make high and low jpegs for my clients, but the jpegs look like these crazy preview images.  Its really effecting my business as my work looks corrupted.   Anyone have any clues for a fix? I suggest Adobe fixes Photoshop completely or put its pricing back down -50%, sure the AI is cool but if it can't deliver basic layered PSD's what are we paying for.

!--startfragment>I am developing a batch processing script for Photoshop (v25.x). The goal is to take 100 JPEGs (6x6 inches, 300 DPI) and apply them as a Pattern Fill Adjustment Layer inside a nested Smart Object structure (Main PSD > Level 1 SO > Level 2 SO > Pattern Fill Layer).​The Issue:The script successfully opens the JPEG, flattens it, and performs selection.selectAll(). However, it consistently hangs (Photoshop becomes unresponsive with 'marching ants' visible) when executing the ActionDescriptor for 'setd' (Define Pattern).​What I've Tried:​Setting app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO ​Using app.purge(PurgeTarget.ALLCACHES) between iterations. ​Flattening the source document before defining the pattern. ​Hardcoding the pattern name to avoid naming conflicts. ​Running with GPU Acceleration disabled.​The Question:Is there a more robust way to define a pattern from an open document that avoids the UI-thread hang, or is there a way to implement a 'Wait/Sleep' state in J

Hi, I just upgraded to Photoshop 2026, and I am trying to save a file to my office server. Whenever I select “Save As,” only the option to save on the Cloud is available. How can I save to wherever I want instead of the Cloud? Thanks!  

Why not make it so that when you change the text alignment (left, center, or right), the text stays in the same position in the layout instead of jumping left, right, or to the center?Quite often you need to change the text alignment while keeping it in exactly the same place.

I had this question posted before, and I am unable to locate it, so I am reposting. I have an new laptop (less than a year old)I have Photoshop 26 on it. I recently updated the Bios and Windows 11 in current. I have two GPU, an Intel R and a NVIDA  GeForce RTX 3050 4GB I have not reset preferences, as the recommendation is to back it up first, but the instructions I received were for Windows 10. Here is my systems info:Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.0.0 20240927.r.26 a733fda  x64Number of Launches: 66Operating System: Windows 11 64-bitVersion: 11 or greater 10.0.26200.7705System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:10, Stepping:4 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, AVX-VNNI, HybridCPU(2:10), HyperThreadingPhysical processor count: 12Logical processor count: 14Processor speed: 2688 MHzBuilt-in memory: 32267 MBFree memory: 20684 MBMemory available to Photoshop: 24790 MBMemory used by Photoshop: 70 %Crash Handler: AdobeDCX Version: 7.24.8SAM SDK Version:

I am using the Quick Select tool but the Select Subject button is greyed out. Any reason why that happens? How can I get that to be an option?  

Hi,  I would like to suggest that Photoshop for desktop add record timelapse for its users. Just like the way Clip Studio paint did. User is able to record and export time lapse of their process. I know this is currently being done in Fresco for iPad. But it would be nice to have it in Photoshop Desktop.

When uploading photos, it would be so helpful if they automatically grouped together by ‘same moment’ and all that is required of photographer is to click on the stack of grouped photos to sort or delete. It would be even better if AI determined the‘blurry’ or worst photos and grouped them in the back of each stack.

Hi, I am working on a .exr files where I have to create a background or basically cleanplate removing the foreground elements and characters. The Noise in the .exr files are quite disturbing when i work zoomed in. Is there away to remove the noise in an .exr images. The remove noise option is turned off in the Effect section . I do not want to change the original color depth in .exr file by converting it to 16 bit .Also kindly let me how how to add the same type grain back to the composition.Thanks.

I have some photographs where I would LIKE to change the shirt or clothing of some of my family members.  These are MY photographs that I have taken over the years.   A couple of the photographs are of shirts that are somewhat revealing in nature, NOT nudity, kind of low cut in nature.  If I select the shirt with a selection tool, and try to change the shirt or top using Generative Fill, I get the dreaded Notice that my request violates the Guidelines.    NOTE:   I am NOT creating nudity, or removing nudity, simply trying to replace a Woman's shirt, and a Male Shirt, (Old Tank Top).    am simply trying to create NEW shirts.   So, I do not understand what guideline I am violating.   Again, these are OLD images of mine, where I am just trying to release shirts with NEW shirts.  Now, here is the WEIRD part.   After I got the guideline notice, I tried to see if I could create an entirely NEW docu

I am starting a new thread regarding my efforts to find the solution to the ongoing issue of GPU crashes with photoshop.The main issue is when I attempt to use the object selection tool, my display goes dark, and the only may to recover is to hard shutdown my PC, and restart. Unfortunately, the thread that I started two days ago has vanished after today’s community forum platform reset . . This morning, I uninstalled all of my previous versions of adobe apps including photoshop, bridge, lightroom, RAW, BETA. I renamed all previous photoshop folders with .old (C drive Class / roaming/ app data / AdobeI then Installed Photoshop 27.3 again fresh I Confirmed that the preferences all reset to default.  I adjusted my preferences including performance, Image processing (see screenshots) Next, I tested many tools . . .including the removal tool, and they were all  good :-)  Until, I tried the Object Selection tool . . . GPU Crash ☹️   

Not really a question, just venting. If I'm changing the size of an image, it's just going look like the same image, only smaller. Why spend time and resources to show me a thumbnail version of a smaller verion of the file?  To make matters worse, Photoshop just crashed while "preparing to build preview" Very annoying PS, this is v 25.12. I've found the most recent version too buggy and crash-prone to run.

Hello I have a problem with photoshop.When I open a new file, a jpg...it has a yellow tone...even for a new file the white is yellow...I tried several things but nothing works...I have my psd in spanish It doesn’t happen in illustrator

I was working in the new Photoshop 2023 yesterday and noticed the Text tool behaves differently now. When I was working on a text layer and moving it around, pressing T to edit the text was not functioning for more than a moment, I noticed it was blinking off back to the move tool as soon as I let go of T.  I can see the convenience of this particular usage configuration, it is ingenious in its own way, but is there a way to revert the text tool to stay on it when letting go of T? I don't see an otion for it in Preferences. 

I have a Mac Mini with M1 chip. I’ve been using Photoshop without any issues until a couple of days ago. I have been doing frequent edits using the remove button on specific selections without issue. Now, however, when clicking the remove button I get the error message, “Can't use the Removal Tool because your system is running Rosetta.”  I do not understand why this is suddenly an issue and have been unable to find a solution. I’ve seen the Get Info solution from posts from a few years ago, but there is no such option for disabling or unchecking open with Rosetta for me. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling without success. The only potentially relevant change I can think of is that the Mac OS updated to Tahoe 26.2 this week. The Activity Monitor lists the Photoshop app as Intel, which has been indicated as an issue, but this was not a problem until a few days ago, and, regardless, I can’t figure out how to download a different version in Creative Cloud. The Intel version is the o

Generative fill gives "The service is not responding. Please check your internet and try again" error message in Photoshop 27.3.1.   Photoshop version: 27.3.1.OS: macOS Tahoe 26.2  Have a background layer with a transparant hole in it that I’m trying to fill with the generative fill tool. Worked fine yesterday before the update on 27.3.0 and still works fine on 26.11.2 so it’s not my internet connection.  Tried logging out of CC, clearing all caches, recent files, settings and did various restarts of CC, Photoshop and my system without result. 

I try to install PS and LR (the bundle) on my Win 11 PC with no luck. The installation process ends successfully (I get Installation successfully completed message) but PS nor LR appear on my installed applications list. I can only see Creative Cloud there. When I try to open Creative Cloud I get the message The application was unable to start (0xc00007b).I uninstalled and reinstalled the applications many time but the same thing happens. I also used the Adobe cleaning tool to make sure that I am starting from a clean base but again nothing happens.Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi!I’m running through the edits of a batch of 35 studio photos with three subjects. When I was looking for an easy way to slightly retouch the subjects, I found that I could make this work quite easily in neural filters with a combination of slides in the ‘skin smoothing’ and ‘smart portraits’ functions.While working with the neural filters however, I realized that the tab button to toggle to the next slider (I prefer prompting these with the key pad, especially for batch work) does not work in neural filters. Besides that, I can’t select multiple faces at once. This means I have to manually put in 5 prompts divided over two options and do this for each of the three faces individually, while the prompts are equal between the subjects.Also, when using any other feature, like a gaussian blur, option+command+f copies the same feature into a different opened file. I’d love for it to be possible to do this with the neural filters! AI should be smart enough to recognize the same faces in a

I have been using CS PS4 since purchasing. Was working fine. Haven’t used in a couple years, due to moving, deaths in family, health issues, etc. Just tried to use, and receiving Error 131:4. Went to chat, and was given a number of things to try (see below). I couldn’t find some of the files. I did right-click the CS4 application shortcut and select Run as administrator. Didn’t help. Did not un-install and re-install. Went back to chat, and was told by one, then another that Adobe has shut down all past programs, and they are now forcing owners of those programs to subscribe to their cloud programs. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a way to get my CS PS4 working again? I used a number of plug-ins (Topaz, etc.) within PS. Have I lost everything? If you encounter error 131:4 when trying to open Adobe Creative Suite 4 (CS4) after a long period of inactivity, it is likely related to insufficient permissions or corrupted licensing data. To resolve this, follow these steps:Reset pe

Everytime I use a Adjustment Layer Preset a mask is created and usually not needed. Please allow Adjustment Layer Presets to have not automatically have a mask similar to how adjustment layers allow this.

Hi, I have been using PS for more than a decade. It seems like my skills are not improving anymore. I can make a extreme difficult project(according to people) while having a hangover. I am looking for a course which you think have the knowledge up to the par.Thanks in advance.[Moved to Photoshop ecosystem by moderator authority］

I've been working on a storyboard lately; I was working on Storyboard Pro and having a rough time of it, but then I remembered that Photoshop has a pretty effective timeline that could work for it. I made the switch and can honestly say it's almost everything I wanted it to be.I say almost becase there are a few issues I've picked up on so far, the main one being that there aren't any audio waveforms on sound tracks which makes editing audio to match up with footage a massive pain in the butt!It's the one thing that's getting in the way of my workflow, having that visual makes matching audio up with video much, MUCH easier, and I think it's a feature worth having.Being able to keyframe audio would be nice too, nothing crazy just db adjustments. Is there anything like this in the works or is this just a frustration that I'll have to deal with?
