Questions

Hi,I paste into a .psd photo a second scene with grass and trees and tarmac, to replace non period humans and barriers, and see that the added grass is more saturated and yellowy, perhaps also the trees, however I need the grass to match the existing grass colour wise.What method to achieve this ?I dont want to just alter hue as the sky and all else will change as well.Some means of indicating to pshop I want to alter just the grass.Having to do a selection and go up all the blades of grass is not my preference, something quick is better. CheersMerlin

When I open a 16-bit ProPhoto RGB image in Photoshop and add a Clarity and dehaze adjustment layer the Dehaze function wildly over processes the image in comparison to what Dehaze would do in Camera Raw (as a Filter) or what it would do back in Lightroom with the same image. Converting the image to 8-bit in Photoshop and then adjusting Dehaze gives the behavior I would expect. ** Science bitOS: macOS 15.7.3 (24G419)Mac: Apple M1 Max based Mac Studio (2022)Photoshop: 27.3 and 27.3.1Lightroom Classic : 15.1.1   ** ScreenshotsHere is the image in Photoshop prior to any edits (just LRC processing and then Edit In Phoshop…) I now add a new Clarity and Dehaze adjustment layer with default settings (everything is fine) Next I set the Dehaze to +3 (a subtle amount when applied in LRC or ACR) and the image has been significantly over-processed If I remove that adjustment layer and make the same +3 Dehaze move using Filter -> Camera Raw Filter, I see what I would expect  Thanks.

Need help showing the full layer… Thank you all!!

I updated to the latest Photoshop 2025 and Camera Raw.  I was following a tutorial on new features with Camera Raw, but when I clicked 'detail', there was no option for Denoise (all the options to change each are there).  In the tutorial instructions said after clicking 'detail' there should be an option for Denoise to click (auto denoise) was not there.

Im using PS 26.11 on the new Mac OSX Tahoe 26.0 but the problem was also on previous OSX.Photoshop is doing freaky previews on PSD layered files as you can see in the pic below, its like a combination of layers on the PSD file.   The real problem is photoshop Droplets no longer work so I bought an app called RetroBatch to make high and low jpegs for my clients, but the jpegs look like these crazy preview images.  Its really effecting my business as my work looks corrupted.   Anyone have any clues for a fix? I suggest Adobe fixes Photoshop completely or put its pricing back down -50%, sure the AI is cool but if it can't deliver basic layered PSD's what are we paying for.

!--startfragment>I am developing a batch processing script for Photoshop (v25.x). The goal is to take 100 JPEGs (6x6 inches, 300 DPI) and apply them as a Pattern Fill Adjustment Layer inside a nested Smart Object structure (Main PSD > Level 1 SO > Level 2 SO > Pattern Fill Layer).​The Issue:The script successfully opens the JPEG, flattens it, and performs selection.selectAll(). However, it consistently hangs (Photoshop becomes unresponsive with 'marching ants' visible) when executing the ActionDescriptor for 'setd' (Define Pattern).​What I've Tried:​Setting app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO ​Using app.purge(PurgeTarget.ALLCACHES) between iterations. ​Flattening the source document before defining the pattern. ​Hardcoding the pattern name to avoid naming conflicts. ​Running with GPU Acceleration disabled.​The Question:Is there a more robust way to define a pattern from an open document that avoids the UI-thread hang, or is there a way to implement a 'Wait/Sleep' state in J

Hi, I just upgraded to Photoshop 2026, and I am trying to save a file to my office server. Whenever I select “Save As,” only the option to save on the Cloud is available. How can I save to wherever I want instead of the Cloud? Thanks!  

Why not make it so that when you change the text alignment (left, center, or right), the text stays in the same position in the layout instead of jumping left, right, or to the center?Quite often you need to change the text alignment while keeping it in exactly the same place.

I had this question posted before, and I am unable to locate it, so I am reposting. I have an new laptop (less than a year old)I have Photoshop 26 on it. I recently updated the Bios and Windows 11 in current. I have two GPU, an Intel R and a NVIDA  GeForce RTX 3050 4GB I have not reset preferences, as the recommendation is to back it up first, but the instructions I received were for Windows 10. Here is my systems info:Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.0.0 20240927.r.26 a733fda  x64Number of Launches: 66Operating System: Windows 11 64-bitVersion: 11 or greater 10.0.26200.7705System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:10, Stepping:4 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, AVX-VNNI, HybridCPU(2:10), HyperThreadingPhysical processor count: 12Logical processor count: 14Processor speed: 2688 MHzBuilt-in memory: 32267 MBFree memory: 20684 MBMemory available to Photoshop: 24790 MBMemory used by Photoshop: 70 %Crash Handler: AdobeDCX Version: 7.24.8SAM SDK Version:

I am using the Quick Select tool but the Select Subject button is greyed out. Any reason why that happens? How can I get that to be an option?  

Hi,  I would like to suggest that Photoshop for desktop add record timelapse for its users. Just like the way Clip Studio paint did. User is able to record and export time lapse of their process. I know this is currently being done in Fresco for iPad. But it would be nice to have it in Photoshop Desktop.

When uploading photos, it would be so helpful if they automatically grouped together by ‘same moment’ and all that is required of photographer is to click on the stack of grouped photos to sort or delete. It would be even better if AI determined the‘blurry’ or worst photos and grouped them in the back of each stack.

Hi, I am working on a .exr files where I have to create a background or basically cleanplate removing the foreground elements and characters.

I do not want to change the original color depth in .exr file by converting it to 16 bit .Also kindly let me how how to add the same type grain back to the composition.Thanks.

I have some photographs where I would LIKE to change the shirt or clothing of some of my family members.  These are MY photographs that I have taken over the years.   A couple of the photographs are of shirts that are somewhat revealing in nature, NOT nudity, kind of low cut in nature.  If I select the shirt with a selection tool, and try to change the shirt or top using Generative Fill, I get the dreaded Notice that my request violates the Guidelines.    NOTE:   I am NOT creating nudity, or removing nudity, simply trying to replace a Woman's shirt, and a Male Shirt, (Old Tank Top).    am simply trying to create NEW shirts.   So, I do not understand what guideline I am violating.   Again, these are OLD images of mine, where I am just trying to release shirts with NEW shirts.  Now, here is the WEIRD part.   After I got the guideline notice, I tried to see if I could create an entirely NEW docu

I am starting a new thread regarding my efforts to find the solution to the ongoing issue of GPU crashes with photoshop.The main issue is when I attempt to use the object selection tool, my display goes dark, and the only may to recover is to hard shutdown my PC, and restart. Unfortunately, the thread that I started two days ago has vanished after today’s community forum platform reset . . This morning, I uninstalled all of my previous versions of adobe apps including photoshop, bridge, lightroom, RAW, BETA. I renamed all previous photoshop folders with .old (C drive Class / roaming/ app data / AdobeI then Installed Photoshop 27.3 again fresh I Confirmed that the preferences all reset to default.  I adjusted my preferences including performance, Image processing (see screenshots) Next, I tested many tools . . .including the removal tool, and they were all  good :-)  Until, I tried the Object Selection tool . . . GPU Crash ☹️   

Not really a question, just venting. If I'm changing the size of an image, it's just going look like the same image, only smaller. Why spend time and resources to show me a thumbnail version of a smaller verion of the file?  To make matters worse, Photoshop just crashed while "preparing to build preview" Very annoying PS, this is v 25.12. I've found the most recent version too buggy and crash-prone to run.

Hello I have a problem with photoshop.When I open a new file, a jpg...it has a yellow tone...even for a new file the white is yellow...I tried several things but nothing works...I have my psd in spanish It doesn’t happen in illustrator

I was working in the new Photoshop 2023 yesterday and noticed the Text tool behaves differently now. When I was working on a text layer and moving it around, pressing T to edit the text was not functioning for more than a moment, I noticed it was blinking off back to the move tool as soon as I let go of T.  I can see the convenience of this particular usage configuration, it is ingenious in its own way, but is there a way to revert the text tool to stay on it when letting go of T? I don't see an otion for it in Preferences. 

Generative fill gives "The service is not responding. Please check your internet and try again" error message in Photoshop 27.3.1.   Photoshop version: 27.3.1.OS: macOS Tahoe 26.2  Have a background layer with a transparant hole in it that I’m trying to fill with the generative fill tool. Worked fine yesterday before the update on 27.3.0 and still works fine on 26.11.2 so it’s not my internet connection.  Tried logging out of CC, clearing all caches, recent files, settings and did various restarts of CC, Photoshop and my system without result. 

I try to install PS and LR (the bundle) on my Win 11 PC with no luck. The installation process ends successfully (I get Installation successfully completed message) but PS nor LR appear on my installed applications list. I can only see Creative Cloud there. When I try to open Creative Cloud I get the message The application was unable to start (0xc00007b).I uninstalled and reinstalled the applications many time but the same thing happens. I also used the Adobe cleaning tool to make sure that I am starting from a clean base but again nothing happens.Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi!I’m running through the edits of a batch of 35 studio photos with three subjects. When I was looking for an easy way to slightly retouch the subjects, I found that I could make this work quite easily in neural filters with a combination of slides in the ‘skin smoothing’ and ‘smart portraits’ functions.While working with the neural filters however, I realized that the tab button to toggle to the next slider (I prefer prompting these with the key pad, especially for batch work) does not work in neural filters. Besides that, I can’t select multiple faces at once. This means I have to manually put in 5 prompts divided over two options and do this for each of the three faces individually, while the prompts are equal between the subjects.Also, when using any other feature, like a gaussian blur, option+command+f copies the same feature into a different opened file. I’d love for it to be possible to do this with the neural filters! AI should be smart enough to recognize the same faces in a

Everytime I use a Adjustment Layer Preset a mask is created and usually not needed. Please allow Adjustment Layer Presets to have not automatically have a mask similar to how adjustment layers allow this.
