Hello,I previously submitted a bug report here and received a suggested solution. However, the same issue has continued to occur repeatedly. Even after renaming the “24” folder to “old” and reverting it back several times, the bug has persisted and keeps reoccurring.At this point, even modifying the folder no longer resolves the issue.For reference, this is the post I followed:https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/photoshop-tool-icons-are-missing/idi-p/13895953 Is it possible that this issue persists because I am running Windows 10 Pro? I followed the instructions exactly as described, but the same bug continues to reoccur and the problem remains unresolved.While reinstalling the software temporarily resolves the issue, the bug reappears shortly after, forcing me to repeat the reinstallation process. Each time, I have to reconfigure all my plugins, brushes, and settings, which is extremely time-consuming and inconvenient. If it were only a matter of the

I’m on macOS [insert version], running Photoshop 2025 26.10.0, with a Wacom [tablet model] on driver version [insert number]. The issue: Using the default Soft Round Pressure Size brush with Minimum Diameter = 0%.In Wacom Diagnostics, pen pressure reads cleanly from 0 → 100%.In Photoshop, the stroke never fills the full brush circle. It only expands to about 75% of the brush diameter, regardless of brush size.Adjusting Wacom’s pressure curve (including Customize mode) makes no difference.In earlier Photoshop versions, full pressure filled or even exceeded the brush circle.  What I’ve tried: Reset Photoshop brushes (reloaded Default Brushes).Tested with a brand-new document, default brush.Verified macOS permissions: Photoshop and Wacom are both added to Accessibility and Input Monitoring.Cleaned and reinstalled the Wacom driver.Reset Photoshop preferences.Disabled GPU in Preferences (no change).  Expected:Full pen pressure (100%) should map to the full

Hello! Today I wanted to share one of the processes I have integrated into my Adobe Photoshop workflow, which I use daily in the form of batch retouching actions. For lack of a better name, it could be considered something like an "automatic zoom," and it takes advantage of certain features of the program in a way I haven’t seen anywhere else. In the video you can see the two variations of the process:The first one, whose purpose is to zoom into general areas of the file (the bottom third, the center, the top, etc.), requires using percentages as the program measurement method. A real use case could be retouching the shoes in an e-commerce shoot, where the model is positioned in the same spot across different photos. In just a couple of seconds, the screen will be centered on the shoes in each image where this process is applied.The second one makes use of "Select people" tool to zoom into specific parts of the body. As shown in the example, it can be used to zoom into the face within

I'm trying to record menu items via scripting, and am coming up empty. Modifying the below, I've gotten it to show up in the Automate Menu as "Bologna", and record as "Bologna" in actions rather than "Scripts Name: "Bologna"" 1. How do I create an event ID for my script? I modified this one from Contact Sheet II2. How do I call my menu item properly with a script? I've tried iterations of: app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("Bologna"));And get the error message:"The object “<unknown> menu item” is not currently available."3. Alternatively, can I use runMenuItem for any of the scripts? I tride "Automate: Bologna" and "Scripts: Bologna" and neither worked.GOAL: Is to record a menu item to an action, I'm on an M1 chip and scripting listener no longer works.Also tried it with contactSheetII and get the same error. /* <javascriptresource> <name>$$$/AdobePlugin/PIPLInfo/PluginName/testing123=Bologna</name> <menu>automate</menu> <category>Sc

How to delete action set through java extended script in photoshop 2025.unloadAction() is no more an action !!

  I'm getting a strange error. On Friday, I used Photoshop normally, but today, when I tried to open it, it didn't work. When I clicked the shortcut, it didn't show the home screen, and nothing else happened. When I accessed the Task Manager, it showed that the EXE file was open, but it wouldn't load.I've restarted, checked for pending updates (there aren't), and as a last resort, I deleted Photoshop and reinstalled it, but nothing changed. I don't know what else to do to fix this error. I'm working in an windows, and his updates are ok.

Hi, since the last 2 updates I keep having these problems, they are making me go crazy. First I can't open raw files from Bridge to Photoshop, I get a popup saying the file can't be opened due to a program error. Second, with the updates I lost all camera raw favorite presets and color profiles. And every time I close PS because I can' topen a file, camera raw preferences reset. I tried rolling back, uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, I tried renaming the PS settings folder, I updated my graphic processor. I think I tried everything... I run on Windows 11. Here is the diagnostc tool file:Photoshop Error informationCode: -1Text: because of a program errorMessage: Could not open “_JAZ8101.NEF” because of a program error.Stack:{"load":[{"Photoshop.exe":"00007FF621030000"},{"ScriptingSupport.8li":"00007FF9B80D0000"}],"offsets":[{"Photoshop.exe":[119666050,119637768,97392588,97378970,97372058,97388115,12358052,18536251,18566676,18564381,18563330,45816388,43218785,9479766,14186083

I know this has to be a bug because the design of the Toolbox has been pretty much the same for thirty years. You don't switch it up like this. The Paint Bucket and the Gradient tool are always together. Now the Gradient tool is alone - right clicking doesn't give you additional options - and you can't access the Paint Bucket (which is a really important tool) unless you click the three dots at the bottom of the Toolbox panel. I had to ask Help to find it. Help then displayed the icon for me under the three dots. So yay. Now I know where the Paint Bucket is. Not sure why it's there, but okay. I needed to use the Wizard tool to highlight an area and then apply Paint Bucket to fill it with another color. Once I'd selected Paint Bucket, that was the only tool that displayed when I clicked the three dots at the bottom of the panel. There was no list of tools, as I noticed there is when I don't select and use one. So, now I couldn't find the Wizard tool (it also wasn't where

One idea I had to leverage the power of AI that would be game changing and useful ,would be the ability to take A photo and automatically composite all the elements into layers, even to go as far as filling in the areas you dont see.So for example imagine a picture of a woman walking in front of a city with cars and buildings. AI could seperate the woman into the top layer, and the city/cars/ect into another layer and fill in the area where the woman was so if you move the woman layer there are no building gaps anymore. Maybe you could select how many composite layers you want to generate or maybe hand select a single element you wish seperate and composite for you to fill in the layers below.This is also useful for editing elements easier and work more freely.AI Video already sort of does this, and you could do this manually which is time consuming but instead we are just taking the same technology and using AIs'  compositing abilities in a useful way directly inside a photo edit

I see a lot of posts on sharpening but can someone recommend a best practice tutorial for sharpening?  I have heard LR is the worst place to sharpen but I input sharpen in LR (and sometimes output sharpen).  But I'd love to see a tutorial.  Is high pass the best way to sharpen for printing?  Mac 15.6.1PS 26.11.0LR classic 14.5.1

Ever since Photoshop 2025 on the desktop has come out I have been having a massive amount of problems with fonts in existing projects. This has been such a problem that I've actually had to reinstall Photoshop 2024 in order to work on most of my previous projects. I've just come to the point now to where it's extremely irritating that I can't use the software so I thought I would throw out a question here to try to figure out what's going on. In the attachments you'll see there are two different screenshots. One is from 2025 where the tax on the bottom of the shield is missing, and 2024 where it's visible. These are the exact same file being opened by two different applications. Being completely disappeared is one of the problems. The other problem is when I go to change text in an existing image it immediately defaults to a different font. The default font it's using is different for every image, I can however go back highlighted select the font and supposed to be and then s

I'm running Windows 10. My desktop suddenly cannot access Lightroom pix from Photoshop 2025. If I try to, the sidebar menu freezes and Photoshop shoots up to 99% RAM, which efffectively halts my entire pc. If I exit Photoshop it still keeps using the same amount of Ram, and I have to End Task through Task Manager to actually halt it. Notes:- The same photoshop account CAN be accessed from a coworkers laptop and is able to load Lightroom photos with no issues. - Uninstalling Photoshop and the entire Creative Cloud and reinstalling it does nothing. - Renaming the preferences file does nothing. - Creating a new user id, logging in on the desktop and then the photoshop account, does nothing. - Installing an older version of Photoshop does nothing. - Agent tried running the CC Cleaner app, but it did nothing. I've gone through 4 help agents, all of who logged in to my pc remotely to "fix" the problem and all of whom could not fix it. They all accidently di

I am an experienced PS user, and for the past 5 months I have been having an issue with tools using a brush (healing, remove, painting, clone, selection, masking, etc.). The tool leaves a streak from the left to the point of the brush. At first I could uninstall and reinstall PS using the cloud app, but this no longer works, and I am quite frustrated. I am using version 26.10.0 on a PC Win 11 64 (update 24H2, KB5064081\26100.5074), gb ram, and a NVIDEA GeForce RTX 4070 Super graphics card.  I have seen a similar post from 2020 describing the same/similar issue, but no solution other than regressing to an earlier version of PS was offered. Any ideas??Thanks,Mike

Hello, Adobe Team. I am reporting a critical issue that prevents any Photoshop script from executing command-line processes on macOS using the app.system() command. This issue started recently after a long period of working perfectly. Environment: * Photoshop Version: [FILL IN YOUR VERSION, e.g., 25.9.1] * macOS Version: [FILL IN YOUR VERSION, e.g., Sonoma 14.5] Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a Mac with a recent macOS update, open Photoshop. 2. Run any script that contains the app.system() command to call a system utility (e.g., app.system('curl --version')). Expected Behavior: The script should execute the command and return the expected result. Actual Behavior: The script fails. In my case, a plugin that depends on curl returns a "Curl Not Found" error, even though curl is installed and works. A minimal test script using app.system() also fails. Diagnostics and Tests Performed: After extensive troubleshooting, we have confirmed the following: * The issue occurs on two different Mac machin

Hey everyone, I'm so sad... i used to work with photoshop cs6 as im just using it privately and cant afford the abo. so now I got a new laptop and the old one I dont have anymore.. i didnt know you needed to deavtivate the old photoshop... so now it doesnt work on the new one and doesnt accept the product key.. is there anything i can do? it still shows in my account under bought products ... help would be very appreciated!

Today I saw that Photoshop was no longer installed on my Mac (M1 Pro) laptop running Ventura 13.4.  I had to reinstall and all my previous Settings such as Workspaces, etc. were all missing.  All other Adobe Software that I had previously installed was still installed.  Why did was Photoshop automatically uninstalled without receiving any prior notification from Adobe.  This is super FRUSTRATING !!!

Currently the Remove AI tool, works with distraction removal. It does not permit to draw straight lines. For example: A straight line from point "A" to point "B",  to remove digital artifacts. The Clone and Spot heal have this feature but frequently they are not the ideal choice. Draw backs to these two tools, Clone requires a source from which to clone, and Spot healing tool frequently, alters the edge itself. The Remove Tool, does a much better and cleaner job, especially where an edge is soft. I'm requesting for this enhancement because it is very difficult to maintain and drag a straight line with the Removal tool when the image is enlarged and the line extends across the entire screen of a 27" or 30" monitor. Please do not change this fantastic AI Removal tool, only add additional functionality.Cordially,René

For last few months whenever i try to paint in photoshop, brush automatically truns to mouse cursor while zooming(Z button) or Redo (Ctrl + Z) or paning (spacebar) as you can see it in attached file. Either i need to restart the photoshop or restart the file in order to work again.

For the love of something, can you make the Free Transform tool's handles NOT snap to the document edges when Snapping is off? It's only been broken for 10 years. It's so annoying. If I wanted to snap to the edges, I'd turn snap on. Thank you.

When using the Apply Image feature (PS 2025) on a new blank layer above adjustment layers, is it possible to make changes to the adjustment layers below that will be reflected in the new Apply Image layer?  I use the merge setting option on the Apply Image layer.  I have found that the only way to do this is to delete the Apply Image layer, make the changes to the adjustment layers and redo the Apply Image.  Does anyone have any information on this?  Thanks!
