Questions

I just bought the new samsung book 5 pro 360 with the ultra 7 and intel arc graphics for using photoshop. it has 16 gb of ram and let me tell you, it runs like a turtle. this laptop cost almost 2 grand so I feel like it should be able to use Photoshop without any issues. I dont even know what is the cause of this, I have tried searching for advice but nothing super helpful comes up. Has anybody else got this laptoip or experienced this. Mike

 Since updating to version 27.6.0, the "Quit" shortcut has been grayed out, and the program cannot be closed "manually" either. I have to "force quit" it completely. Is this a new feature?  

The floating ‘Generative Fill/Remove’ UI on Photoshop sits often in the middle of the screen and canvas. I constantly find it hovers over the exact area I want to see/click on. Is there a way to solve this?

Bonjour, depuis plusieurs semaines avec la dernière version ( 27.9.1) ou avec une version ultérieur (26.11.6) quand je travaille avec PhotoShop mon ordinateur s'éteint.Ce problème est uniquement avec PhotoShop, j'utilise IndeSign et Adobe Acrobat toute le journée et je n’ai aucun problème.

Hello Adobe Community and experts,I’ve recently encountered a severe and puzzling issue with text rendering and export in Photoshop 2025 and 2026, which was not present before.Text becomes noticeably blurry and pixelated, both in the preview window and in the final exported/saved files (Export/Save As). This occurs regardless of the document’s resolution being set to 300 PPI or 72 PPI.The most peculiar aspect is the difference in behavior based on document units:Documents created with Centimeters (CM) as the unit (e.g., from Print presets) exhibit perfectly clear and sharp text. However, documents created with Pixels (PX) as the unit suffer from this text blurriness and pixelation.This issue started occurring only very recently (within the last few days) and was not an issue with previously created pixel-based files in the same Photoshop versions.Troubleshooting Steps Attempted (That Did Not Resolve the Issue):I have already tried several common troubleshooting steps without success:Ch

Here's an interesting yet gross tech adaptation moment I did not see comoing.I feel utterly violated. Upon export of an image I just completed to send off I am being prompted that a content credential is being applied because generative AI was used.And this is Adobe's to watermark in my image metadata how?That is the first problem. [cursing removed] with watermarking my images. If Adobe wants to watermark my images, they can pay the subscription. Until then, this has ethical implications that transcend the nature of our relationship. The second problem is: THERE IS NO GENERATIVE AI in MY IMAGE.I need first to be clear that even if there were, Adobe has no business force tagging creations I have made with the tools I pay for with information I do not want included. Among dozens of other concerns moral and ethical, there's the challenge that I face now; Adobe is playing content creation police and they are issuing a ticket for Ai when there is none and I CANNOT OVERRIDE IT

Ver. 27.9.1 (Windows 11) - When I try to edit the color of a Color Overlay Layer Style, the program freezes.  I can’t click the color swatch to change it, but I can use the eyedropper to change the color.  ANY other click results in a Windows chime sound saying that something is wrong.  Photoshop is frozen, I can’t exit the Layer Styles editor, can’t do anything except ‘End task’ Photoshop.   While typing this I also tried editing the color of a different layer Style, and as soon as I click the color swatch the same behavior results.  I also used the Paintbrush (not within a Lyer Style edit, just painting on a layer) and clicked the color swatch, same thing happens - the cursor changes to the Eyedropper and every click, no matter where, sets off the Windows sound and Photoshop is totally unresponsive. Keyboard shortcuts to change the tool (V or M) do nothing, just the same Windows sound as a response.  I have to force the program to shutdown, there’s no way out of this loop.

When I go to Merge Layers (Ctrl + E) it is not responding. I have tried using a different keyboard and still run into this issue. The selection itself works (right clicking and selecting Merge Layers myself) but the key command is not responding.  Any way to fix it?

When I’m typing a word with Polish letter ‘ą’ I’m selecting all text so my text is gone in the middle of typing. Every time I have to type something with that letter I have to stop after this letter, click right arrow to deselect and go back to typing. Letter works fine but at the same time it’s selecting all text. For selecting all text should only work Ctrl+A, not Alt+A.

I have uninstalled Photoshop 2026.  And attempted to reinstall Photoshop 2026, version 27.9.1.  It won’t install on my Apple iMac desktop computer.  macOS Tahoe 26.5.1. Any help is greatly apppreciated.  

When use Photoshop my shift key is acting like its stuck, im sure it isnt a keyboard issue, ive got a new keyboard but it still happens.   Photoshop 2019 vision 20.0.9

Running an iMac with Sequoia 15.7.3 and Photoshop 27.9.1. I have no use for the new New Document splash screen. In the past, clicking the “use Legacy New Document” option worked….now it does not...why not????

Hola… desde hoy, al intentar abrir una imagen para editr en Photoshop, me sale una ventana como la de la captura ajunta. Sólo funciona con fotos en formato .WEBP (rarísimo). Intenté de todo: actualicé la tarjeta gráfica (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, con 16 gigaas de Ram), deshabiliaté el uso de la GPU en Rendimiento (en Preferencias del programa), desinstalé y volvi a instalar el rpograma, etc. Alguien sabe a qué se debe este error? Gracias

At first I thought it was due to the latest update, but after a tip to install an older version, I still couldn't open a file. I use macOS 15.7.9

pas de commande pour les actions comme sur PS 2025 

My wife has been using CS5 on her Windows 10 desktop - unfortunately the desktop was "damaged" in a hose move and she now has a new Windows 11 desktop. Can we load her CS5 software from the original CD onto the new windows 11 desktop? Will CS5 work with the new desktop? Yes I know that CS5 is ancient but she's been using it for about a dozen years and is very happy with it. Also she really doesn't want to learn a new version or pay a monthly fee to Adobe as she doesn't use Photoshop enough to warrant that. Any advice or suggestions would be welcome.  

how can i delete serial#’s from old laptops I no longer have CS 5

I could use some help, please. I’m just learning how to use smart objects. According to a video that accompanied the package I purchased, I should be able to double click on the smart object, paste an image onto the smart object layer, click Save, and then choose one of the “stamps” that are on different layers. However, the stamps disappear once I’ve saved the document. All I can see is I had this working late last week, and today, it’s not working anymore. Can something have changed? Did I perhaps change something, or am I missing an important step? I re-downloaded the package just to make sure I hadn’t done anything irreversible to the files. When I copy and paste, it is asking me if I want to apply the transformation before saving. Could that be a problem?Here is a screenshot--I hope this makes sense. Thank you ! 

I am still having this issue as of today in the full release, Photoshop 2026 27.9.0. Is there a fix beyond disabling the graphics processor? Turning off graphics processor fixes this issue, but causes Ps to run very slowly.I am not using the Beta version.

Open ik het RAW scherm in Photoshop dan ziet de foto er anders uit. De kleurruimte (Adobe RGB 1998) en bit (16 bit) is in beide schermen hetzelfde. Ik krijg de indruk dat het probleem ontstaan is nadat ik als Nikon gebruiker Hasselblad files uit Hasselblad Phocus in RAW en Photoshop ben gaan uploaden. Hoe krijg ik dit opgelost?

I just installed Photoshop 2025 on a new computer, M4 Max MacStudio on MacOS 15.7.1, and when I open it I get this error popup.There was a problem with Generator. If the problem persists, please see:http://www.adobe.com/go/photoshop_generator_errors_enNone of the solutions there seem relevent to a new install. I have no virus protection for instance. Log errors are copied below, starting with "No viable plugins were found in '/Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2025/Plug-ins/Generator/'" -- and indeed that directory looks to be empty? The later ones make it look like there's a bug in some script.I've read many posts here on similar problems but none of the mentioned solutions that I've tried so far have made any difference. Help?From the log: Log file created on Thu Oct 16 2025 16:28:32 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)[info:core 16:28:32.136 generator.js:114:22] Launching with config:{}[info:core 16:28:32.136 generator.js:116:26] provided PS information:version 26.8path/Applications/Ado

PS will not open. I am told "The application “Adobe Photoshop 2026.app” can’t be opened." Tahoe 26.6 macbook with Apple chip. Started with trying to update (from either 27.6 or 27.7) which ran a long time and then messaged: "This is taking an unusually long time, investigating". waited some more, at least ½ hr in total and then canceled the update. Then tried to open PS and got the message: "The application “Adobe Photoshop 2026.app” can’t be opened.”Subsequently I succeeded in updated bridge.

Hi,Up until about a week ago, Iu sed my external HDs for scratch disks in Photoshop and they are no longer appearing in the app. I am running Tahoe on a MacBook Pro and have the latest version of Photoshop (and Photoshop Beta).I  have tried:Updating Photoshop  Rebooting my machine Ensuring Photoshop and cloud have full Disk access (both under Privacy permission and in Files & Folders) Both drives have plenty of space (3TB and 5TB respectively) I have full read/write permission of both drives and they are connected directly to my Mac (not through a hub)Both drives are formatted as ExFAT and while some online chats indicate it isn’t compatible with Photoshop . . . it WAS until about a week ago. I cannot reformat them, as they have other data that I cannot erase / move.UGH. Help!

My photoshop will not open.  Plus it will not let me take out photo from lightroom classic and move to Photoshop.  The computer and graphics are all up to date.  This has  worked for years and now nothing.
