Used to be able to click on a layer effect applied to the layer & create layers from the effect. I am now getting an error message when I try to do this. Layer is NOT a smart object & isn’t locked. Running PS version 26.11.0 

The software seems to be good...but the tech support is stupid.   Now I am either stupid ..or I dont see it... But how does someone delete a file from photoshop?  Like delete the entire project, not just undo, undo undo.   

The logo in the Header at the top of every page on my sister's website is actually a 800 x 427 px PNG, but was resized in the page builder by the original developer to 275 x 147 px, which is the size it is being displayed at. The unscaled PNG image is here.  (I'm no longer in contact with that developer).I want to create a smaller (116px high) version of the logo.If I insert the PNG logo that is in the header into a webpage and then scale it down in the page builder to the dimensions I want, it looks great, as shown on the test page here.If I create a logo of same height by creating a 427px high PNG from the original EPS (Logo.eps, which I've attached to this post), upload it to here and then scale it in the page builder to have a height of 116px, then it looks better still, as shown on the same test page – which proves there's nothing wrong with the EPS file I’m working form.But if I try to create a PNG from the EPS with the dimensions I actually want (116px high) and upload that to a

I downloaded an image from the internet. It downloaded with an image resolution of 72 dpi. I need to export the image after placing my image on an indesign file for press printing at 300dpi. So if i edit the image with photoshop and put the resolution at 300dpi with ‘preserve details 2.0’ will this genuinely increase my image resolution size and not mess while printing?

Hi, I am using Adobe Creative Cloud which includes Photoshop 21.2.12 Release. I find this guide https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/neural-filters.html But in my photoshop, there is no Neural Filter, see below: So, how to get it. It seems that I need to download it but I cannot find detailed instructions on that.  Thank you very much.

Hii,My name is Soumitra Dutta, Oxford based photographer, I’m running into some color profile issues on my USA setup, and I’m not sure what’s causing them. For those who’ve dealt with this before, what would you suggest checking? Any tips would be really appreciated.”

I am starting to get real frustrated with Adobe.  I don't want to ever save to the adobe cloud, there are much better cloud options.  I have set the default to save locally but it seems with the last upgrade it started saving to the cloud again. I once again set the default to save locally but I still get a notifier that I am out of cloud storage.  I DON'T WANT CLOUD STORAGEI DONT WANT NOTIFIERS REGARDING CLOUD STORAGEI DO WANT EVERYTHING REGARDING ADOBE CLOUD TURNED OFF How do I do this? This is really blatent upselling.  We pay a lot of money for your services the least you can do is respect our intelligence.    

I am writing to report an issue with my Adobe Photoshop account. I currently have an active premium membership, but I am being incorrectly blocked from using the generative AI features.When I try to use a feature like Generative Fill, I receive an error message that says:"Complementary generations used. Your complementary generations for this premium feature have been used. To keep using this feature, upgrade to a plan with premium feature access."This message is incorrect because I am already a premium member and should have access to these features as part of my subscription. This error is preventing me from using the tools I am paying for and is disrupting my workflow.Please investigate my account to resolve this error and restore my access to all premium generative features.

Hi,Please help me! I use save actions for files for 4 years now without issues and lately I installed newest Photoshop. First 2 actions were fine but then a problem occured. When I create "Save as" action with high resolution and PSB formats, Photoshop saves filename of currently saved image in action script. And then, this action always overwrites next files on that one file. I tried many times to find solution and repeat recording actions again and it seems that this is random - sometimes it doesn't add filename at the end of action script, but more often it does. And I never know. And then I loose my work. I need your help please.

Hi!I have had the hardest time downloading files from shutterstock/adobe stock and opening them up in illustrator to find they are "9-slice scale images." I don’t know much about these I guess? They are images on a transparent background, but when the background is removed the image changes completely and no longer have the same effects.  When I try to move the file from Illustrator to photoshop as a smart object the transparent background comes with it. If I try to remove it there the same thing happens. I'm sure there is an easy way around this but I'm kind of lost.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm working with Photoshop Creative Cloud v 26.9 on a MacBook Pro with Sequoia 15.5. I purchased a plugin from Evato for PS and downloaded it along with the License Certificate. When I follow the install instructions I get into the Creative Cloud App and get a message saying I have to purchase the plug-in.... which I'm not inclined to do BECAUSE I ALREADY PURCHASED IT!!How do I get Creative Cloud to accept my Item Purchase Code from the 3rd party?

So, Intel Arc and Adobe Photoshop… It’s ugly 🫡 When I open a simple file in Photoshop 27.3, my CPU is nuked when doing simple things (like moving a layer)… PS is laggy, hard to use and quickly becomes a headache. Here’s what I can tell and my debug process so far : SysInfo is attached. I’ll come back to this later  GPU compatibility says that everything is compatible  I’ve unplugged my second monitor : no results.  I checked, unchecked, re-checked “use GPU” or any settings in the Performance menu : no results.  Photoshop was re-installed many times without keeping any settings / cache. No results. On the SysInfo file, you can clearly see where the problem is : Composite Core GPU (comp_core_gpu): on Composite Core Threads (MultithreadedCompositing): on Composite Core UI (CompositingDocumentTabUI): off Composite Core Feature Prefs (CompCoreFeaturePrefs): offAnd it describes the bug pretty well. Mooving the canva / a layer is a pain in the *ss. But using the quick selection uses the GPU.

I made some social media logos awhile back and saved the session with each logo on it’s on layer.I’m doing another project and wanted to use the same logos, but with a different color on the new project.  These are circles with the logo etched out of the middle.  When I select a portion of the logo and click on similar, it selects the circle as a whole, but I can’t get it to deselect the middle, so when I try to bucket fill, it just gives me a circle.  Even if I do the object selection tool, it does the same thing.I’m self-taught and just learn things as needed, and forget them just as quickly, so this could be something super simple.  I just don’t want to have to recreate these again. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,After the latest Photoshop update, I have been experiencing frequent crashes and significant performance slowdowns, particularly when working with larger files or using AI-based features like Generative Fill. The app freezes and closes unexpectedly, and navigation becomes slow even on simpler tasks.Has anyone else encountered this issue, and is there a known fix or workaround?

Trust me when I say I've tried EVERYTHING. This includes:clean installing Windows 11installing the latest studio driversinstalling older/factory driversusing Creative Cloud Removal Tool and reinstalling Photoshopincreasing the Performance settings to max (RAM usage, cache levels etc)laptop's cooling is perfect - vapor chamber heatsink, new thermal paste, doesn't get hot or throttleWindows performance modeturning off hardware acceleration (not a real fix) For reference: Intel i9-13900H, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD (7000mb/s, brand new), Nvidia 3500 Ada 12GB  All of these only for Photoshop to run like a turtle. This is system wide - brush is laggy (it's not the smoothing setting), selections are laggy, creating shapes is laggy, scrolling/zooming is laggy etc. I have a PC with almost the same specs and same settings, and Photoshop runs fine. No issues there.

Many of the fonts that aren’t rendering appear to be non-Latin alphabets, but others, like Hoefler Text, don’t have anything “unusual” about them. Many of them are Apple system fonts so I can’t just go removing them.  The fonts render correctly in Font Book. And there are no errors when I verify them. I can’t figure out why they’re not working in Photoshop. Help?

Could you please tell me some good computer systems or graphics workstations that are the most compatible with Photoshop and Illustrator?  Starting at the lowest price? I am being told that my system can't handle Photoshop.   Thank you.

My signature disappeared one day and now cannot upload a new jpg or png file to put my signature back in and have saved. Keep getting red box error message that my files are corrupt. I have macOS Tahoe 26.2.

Macbook Pro M1 Max, Apple Sequoia 15.1, PS 26.8.0  I just upgraded to PS 26.8.0. Now when I double click to open a photo, it remains in the background, covered by other windows. Why are my images not coming to the foreground when I open them? Is there a new setting I'm missing in PS 26.8.0?  Now every single time I open an image, I have to then click on that image once it's open for it to take focus. If it's completely hidden behind another window, I have to then close or move that window to see the image. The PS application itself takes focus as all the menus appear, but the image I double click to open remains behind whatever images and apps are opened. 

Currently looking for grasses brushes, but dk where to find them. Is there a place on Adobe I can view and download brushes? Would appreciate any suggestions.

I have an iMac with OS 15.7.3 with PS 27.3, I have been trying to use the Path Blur Tool in Filter/Blur Gallery/Path Blur on several different images one is a stock image that was suggested by Adobe in a troubleshooting article. and one where I have put clouds in a sky and want to blur them using the Path Blur Tool. When either image and I click on Filter/Blur Gallery/Path Blur the image automatically blurs, there isn’t any markers, I do get a pen with a “+” sign to the bottom right of pen.  When I click and drag nothing happens, When I just click on the image I get nothing as well QUESTION: are there know issues with the Path Blur tool?QUESTION: are there settings for PS 27.3 on my iMac I need to check?QUESTION: has anyone else experienced this problem? Thank you in advance for your help Michael

For the past ~7 years I’ve used the same workflow. I know it’s not the most efficient, but it has always worked—until Photoshop 26. I shoot with a Canon EF 8–15 fisheye that produces a circular image. My workflow has been:  Create a red circle layer as a guide Use Color Range / Color Select to select the circular image area Switch to the image layer Cmd+X (cut) Cmd+N → New Document   Up until now, Photoshop would create a new square canvas based on the clipboard, effectively preserving the full circular image in a square document. In Photoshop 26, something changed. When I switch layers, the bounding box changes to match the rectangular bounding box of the selection, not the circular selection itself. As a result:  Cmd+X copies only the rectangular bounding box Cmd+N creates a new canvas based on that bounding box, not the intended circular image area   This breaks a workflow I’ve relied on for years. Question:Did Adobe change how selections are interpreted for clipboard size

Hi Everyone.   Just to get this out of the way: I'm running Windows 10 (everything up to date), Photoshop CC 21.1.1, and an Ugee tablet (think poor-man's Cintiq).   When I launch photoshop to draw, things work fine for a while, but after about 20 mintes, when I use the hand tool (space, H, or by clicking on the tool) to move to another portion of the artwork, it starts snapping to the upper left. I could try dragging down, and it's even more up and left. If I keep trying to use the hand tool to move my view of the canvas, it ends up looking like this:   I've already tried turning on-and-off various swiping, scrolling, and overscrolling settings.   If I re-start the program, it works fine...for about 20 minutes, and then we're back to funky snapping.    I noticed other hand-tool errors were solved with the update, but like I said, this version of Photoshop is as up-to-date as possible. I've updated pretty much everything on my computer.   Is there som
