I upgraded to PS 2026, but my custom actions did not migrate from PS 2025 even though I had selected to migrate presets and actions.The Actions still work in PS 2025, but the corresponding atn files do not show up in the Actions folder in Finder, which is probably why they did not migrate.I recreated one of these Actions manually in PS 2026, saved it, used it, but it also does not show as an atn file in the Actions folder.If I try to Save Action from PS 2025 into PS 2026, the the file shows as greyed out.So it looks as though my custom atn files exist as ghosts ?Can’t see this specific issue addressed in the Help community, but please advise.

A question for the tech-smart people on the forum: I'm wondering, for the purists out there, if there's software that isn't using AI? Adobe keep promoting their generative functions but what if some of us don't want them, do we have any alternative (other than film and a darkroom again)?

This doesn’t happen every time, but has happened several times over the past few months on my laptop and desktop (both Macs). When opening PS, I get an error that says PS is damaged. I have to install PS again which erases everything I had saved in PS (workspaces, plugin credentials, tools properties, etc). Super frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this?  

I am using the touchpad on a new MacBook Pro. The paint tool and eraser tool stay engaged after I have released the tools, sometimes for several seconds. I am also beginning to have release problems with the modifier keys. How can I fix this?

Since my latest update to PS, my brush looks different. It always had a solid curculare line, now it is a jaggy cirsular edge. My settings have not changed. Anyone have this issue or an answer?

I am processing layered Photoshop files using Tools>PhotoShop>Image Processor from Bridge 15.1.4.9. Every image is flattened when opening in Photoshop 27.3.1. This is not desired or intentional. So I am having to run an action that will “Select previous History State” as action 1 in order to un-do this un-requested flattening. Is this intentional on Adobe’s part? If so how about an option for this behavior, if not please correct this behavior.In addition to this unwanted behavior, Tools>PhotoShop>Image Processor is leaving temp files in the target directory when saving .png files using “Export for web” in an action designated for use by Tools>PhotoShop>Image Processor.

For the past couple of months I've been getting this error: "this is not a valid Portable Document File (PDF) document. It cannot be opened." error when I'm NOT trying to open anything.  I'd say it's happened maybe 10 times over the last couple of months and 9 of those times, it's happened when I'm waking the computer from sleep.  I can't seem to figure out any pattern to it.  It's like it's trying to open a file on it's own but it doesn't show in the recent list and I'm not seeing any action that could be doing this.   Any ideas?   {Thread renamed by moderator}

Sometimes when I resize image with mask, there is slightly visible border caused by feathering border of mask and it could be printed if not carefully reviewed.I still don't know why it happens, because it doesn't happen in every image. Does anyone know how do I prevent this? What is the reason? 

Hi. Once found a script and modified it to suit my needs. It works fine, but it's slow.I use it for batch processing.When I manually save for web, I don't notice such delays. Maybe the script itself is a bit crooked?The goal is to save a file with an existing color profile, jpg, up to 500kb, in the same folder, with the same name.The file height and width are already correct before saving, the script should only save with the requirements above.(Analogous to the "save for web" function, which the action doesn't see)var docRef = activeDocument; var outputFolder = docRef.path; var currentNameWithoutExtension = docRef.name.split(".")[0]; NamesaveRef = new File( outputFolder + "/" + currentNameWithoutExtension + ".jpg" ); var NewfileRef = new File( NamesaveRef ) // quality/size constraints var MaxSz = 500000; // max. 500Kb var Qlt = 100; // initial quality 100 var x = 1; // decreasing step // Perform the first SaveForWeb Operation ExpWeb(NewfileRef, Qlt); // Keep trying to save the fi

Ich möchte gern den Himmel bei einem Foto austauschen bei Photoshop. Leider funktioniert dies nicht mehr. Es kommt immer folgende Fehlermelung: "Der Vorgang konnte nicht ausgeführt werden, weil ein Programmfehler aufgetreten ist."

Since Photoshop 27.x, painting or erasing beneath a semi-transparent group produces temporary viewport compositing artifacts when Foreground composite caching (found under the Performance menu) is enabled.The problem is completely reproducible and was not present in Photoshop 26.x.Disabling Foreground composite caching immediately resolves both the artifacts and, on my system, actually improves responsiveness. No restart is required.SystemPhotoshop 27.x (all tested 27.x versions) Windows 11 Home Intel Core i9-13900 64 GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti NVIDIA Studio Driver (latest available) GPU Acceleration ON Multithreaded Compositing ONSteps to reproduceEnable Use Graphics Processor. Enable Foreground composite caching. Create a Group. Set the Group Opacity to less than 100%.  Place two or more Normal layers inside the Group. There must be artwork on at least one of the layers.  Paint or erase on a layer below the Group.ResultTemporary square or tiled viewport artifacts appear along

I would like to have some of the bushes that are automatically installed on PS for iOS also installed on my PC considering that I will sometimes work on a single illustration on both devices. Through my searching, it doesn’t seem as though I can export brushes from the iOS PS (why?) and I haven’t found a place to download them. So if someone knows a way to get these files in one way or another, that would be greatly appreciated.For reference, here’s a screenshot of some of the brushes I’m talking about 

  When inserting a high resolution image into another one and scaling the former down to a required size, it loses all sharpness and becomes super blurry, why? Also when trying to seize it back up to its original size it remains blurry .

Sorry, I can’t think of a simple way to word this question. Basically, you know how with Lightroom classic you can edit a photo in Photoshop, ctrl/cmd save, and then it will update the changes you made in Lightroom? How do I do that with Lightroom and Photoshop for iPad?

I currently have an AMD desktop with AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor, 64GB memory and NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060 6gb graphics card.   What do I need to add to use the AI Sharpen tool? 

What is the best way to resize an image in photoshop

When I used the remove tool to remove a cable that was in front of my subject, the tool added tusks to the baby elephant. Needless to say, baby elephants do not have tusks and since this is an Asian female, she would not have tusks of this size - even as an adult 

I have hidden the Options bar in Photoshop. When I select a portion of the image and press the C key (the shortcut for the crop tool), followed by the Enter key, the crop tool displays the Options bar. Is there a way to disable this behaviour and have the crop tool simply crop the selected area when I press Enter, without first showing a crop area preview?

even though we pay for subscription. It worked until last week. Now its blank when we try to open an image to edit. Everything else is working.

So, I’ve recently encountered the following problem: Whenever I try to open a RAW photo—whether from the Sony 7CII or an Olympus OMD-5 Mark II—I get this message:"The embedded ICC profile cannot be used because the ICC profile is invalid. The profile will be ignored."In the meantime, I’ve updated my MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro chip to the latest operating system. Photoshop is also up to date, as well as the RAW Converter. After the updates, everything worked fine at first.However, I then switched to HDR mode in the RAW development process (within Photoshop's RAW module). After turning HDR off again, I attempted to open the image in Photoshop, and now I’m getting the same error message again.What could be causing this?

Clients are using FREE AI tools to remove their watermarks from my online galleries and aren't ordering finals (and thereofre aren't paying for them and are color correcitng or worse- Not color corrrecting and sing/posting.  Pixieset to showcase images inhgi res no mater how small I make them. I'm thinkin low res proof sheets would resolve this- But how do I get my watermark and the proof sheet done in photoshop without hours of extra work?  Also, how would you deliver the proof sheets?  (gmail?  dropbox?).  Quite upsetting- it feels like I've been stolen from - ouch!  And I'm concerned about how time consuming this newprocess could be!  I can't charge more and include- in my market, noone would pay more and i'm already doing too much for too little (modeling industry, kids fashion, etc)

This is shown first when I type in a text layer and it replaces some characters with others (such as ‘ with û) or making all of the typing “dddddd.” If I close the file and reopen it, then try restarting the app, and then the computer, the file opens but causes Photoshop to respond very slowly and the text problems continue. The only way to fix this is to discard the new file and reopen an older version (and lose many changes!).

Hello. As I try to use the new Generative Expand function, I get the following message (attached): "To use this feature, first drag the canvas to expand." I'm calling this a "bug" because 1.- it makes no sense at all "first drag the canvas to expand" what does that even mean? – and 2.- because there is no further explanation, tutorial, click here to see more", etc. I tried dragging the canvas (the way I understand that) but the nonesense message keeps popping up (please consider getting some English Major to create these pop-up messages. Software Engineers... well, only they can understand themselves.) Ideas? Guidance? Thank you in advance. A.C.
