When I use the LrC "Open in layers in Photoshop" command, with multiple images selected, PS opens but stops with error message "Load layers needs at least two files selected." This always worked fine until the latest updates PS (25.12.2) / LrC (14.5.1). How do I fix this?

In every version of Photoshop that I've used, the default swatch library was as shown in the attached image. I had it in 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, and in CC. Now I've purchased the subscription based and the swatch libraries are not even close. Many times I'm creating a basic graphic and want to select default colors, but I can't find this swatch library.... what am I missing? When I first opened Photoshop I had black and white. I've been through all of them... can't find it. Would be nice to have it back, it makes things a little easier than having to mix a color every time. Thanks... still just learning the new features... 

I think I've had this problem for over a year now. I've had it today and I need to find a solution for this. I work on rather large files with multiple layers. I work on them for 2 hours or so each. I often have 4-5 different simiar 4GB files open at the same time. My system is a beast and it can handle it. Randomly, totally randomly... the image in one tab will freeze. I can't edit it anymore. It's locked. I can edit other tabs and I can save the frozen tab... but I need to save + reopen to work on it again. I was hoping this would be fixed in an update but it has been happening for longer than I can remember and I've absolutely had it today as it's happened at least 5 times during my work day. Latest PS version. AMD 5950X + 6900XT + 64GB RAM. Everything is up to date. I've already "reset my preferences" so please don't ask me to do that again. Is this a known bug or issue that has a solution? Thanks for any help! 

Hi there.  I’m new to using brushes with Photoshop, and have been researching brush creation. How can I create a brush that has a look and feel to realistic pencils and charcoal? What I am specifically trying to achieve is strong thin lines when the pen is held upright, and soft creamy wide shading ability when the pen is on its side. Shading should be able to build up smooth and softly.  Example images from Brent Eviston, Proko, and Patrick Jones are attached. If anyone can please assist with the technicalities of setting this up, that would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.   

Hi, For the past three days, none of my files have been saving in Photoshop Web. I’m using the online version through my Adobe account, and even though I can edit projects, the files don’t appear in my Creative Cloud storage or “Your files” section. Could you please check what might be causing this and help me fix it?

I'm having 2 main problems and idk what to do.1. The newest version of Photoshop (24) wont open any files. The "Reading Photoshop Format" window will load up but nothing will happen and it stays on the home menu page. If I try to close the program, the "Could not complete your request because of program error." window pops up. I have to go into task manager just to close photoshop. So I went back to version 23.5.5 and it does open up my files, but that brings me to my other issue... 2. I'm not sure which version it started but for a long time now, when I open my files, the scrubby zoom (Ctrl+Spacebar+Left mouse button+move) function doesn't work and the image has a slight pixelated quality to it. I can reset my preferences and itll work once but on restart it is nonfunctioning again. The weird thing I found is sometimes I can move the photoshop window, while its on the home page, to my other monitor and open a file, it'll work. Then i can drag the window back to my tablet monitor

Hi everyoneI used the Dynamic Text feature once, and it worked great, but then the icon just disappeared! My Photoshop is up to date, and I’ve checked online for solutions. I found a couple of workarounds, but they didn’t work for me, and I’m still not sure why this is happening or why Adobe hasn’t addressed it yet. Since I saw others mention similar issues online, I figured I’d ask here:Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how to bring the icon back or fix the issue? Thanks so much in advance!

Hello!  Anytime I tried to create, delete, edit, or do anything with a new artboard, it immediately crashes my photoshop and I have to force quit. I have waited over 15 minutes one time to see if it was time it needs, but no dice. Attached screenshot videos for ref. The only way I can get it to work is using Photoshop 2024. Any assistance is appreciated!

While installing Photoshop on my new Surface Pro 11, the following message appeared: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application." What should I do to install the program?

Whoever decided to remove inches as a formatting option might want to add it back again. Because it's frustrating for those who rely on inches for their projects and do not want to sit there to have to convert. Switching everything to pixels by default makes sense for some creators, but many creators still rely on inches & or prefer them, especially those from a more traditional background. Sometimes, it’s better to leave all options available—if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.I look forward to hearing a response, because this is very frustrating.

I installed the latest Photoshop update 2 days ago and since I´ve gotten it it dosn´t work well with my Logitech Master MX3. I use the side wheel for zoom which still works but now it zooms in the middle of the photo, not where my mouse is. It´s super annoying. If I turn on zoom with scrollwheel that works how it´s supposed to work. If I press option and zoom in with the scroll wheel that works too. On latest MAC os

Hey there! It looks like neural filters (specifically "style transfer") aren't utilizing my GPU and are instead processing everything on the CPU. I have double checked that my GPU is compatible, enabled, and the mode is "D3D12".Any help?

Hello, I had Photoshop 2024 (v25) installed and Creative Cloud proposed me to install Photoshop 27, which I did. I thought it would be in parallel with the other version, as usual. But in the process, it removed Bridge 14 and Photoshop 2024 and now it's become impossible to install the version 25. Only versions available in the "Other versions" menu are the 26.x series, the 27 and, for some reason, the 22.2 Where has Photoshop 2024 gone?

the home screen stopped working after installing windows 11. I tried reinstalling all adobe and creative cloud programs. It didn't help. I have the latest graphics card drivers installed. I tried resetting photoshop settings and it didn't help either

Nachdem ja immer mehr Endkunden Canva verwenden und damit durchaus sehenswerte Ergebnisse erzielen, habe ich testweise ein Foto sowohl in Photoshop als auch in Canva „per Klick“ freistellen lassen. Irgendwie ist es echt erschreckend – und auch ein bisschen traurig –, dass ein Programm für 110 Euro im Jahr ein Foto deutlich besser freistellen kann als der Platzhirsch Photoshop. Links = PhotoshopRechts = Canva 

when i start photoshop, i feel like getting bombarded with ads and distractions.several banners and popups crying for attention. is there a way to turn all this unwanted stuff off ??????? i cant find words to describe how annoying this is to me. its making me seriously angry. even in the creative cloud app -> huge banner wants to explain to me how to remove backgrounds. i hate this so much. omg

Is there anyway to add a .png image to my watermark and still keep the text editable? I've been using a text watermark on my images and often change the colour so its more visible on whatever the bg colour of my image is. (I use the colour picker in the text bar, works great)I recently decided I wanted to add an icon (which has it's own colour scheme) to my watermark to fancy it up a bit but can't find a way of keeping the text editable with the colour picker once it's C&P'd to my final image. I have a .psd of the watermark with the added .png, if I keep the two layers (linked) then when I C&P the watermark onto my final image I only get the top layer, If I merge or flatten I get the image and the text but can only change the colour with an adustment layer which changes the colour of everything 😞 .Am I expecting the impossible?  answers on a postcard (in simple language) to a troubled photographer
