Questions

Hello, I am a CTE and Art teacher in Seattle and we are currently struggling with the Photoshop tutorials. I am using Google Chrome, on desktop computers newly purchased by my district. I am having issues with students seeing the “learn” button and being able to access the same tutorials in the same way which is key for teaching a class of 30 students. We’ve tried resetting the workspace, next I am going to try Purge and purging all. What else do you recommend? IT support in my district does not know how to use the program… 

Hi everyone,I’m currently using an older PC with limited hardware performance, and I’m exploring the possibility of running Adobe applications through Microsoft Azure (virtual machine/cloud setup).I have a few questions and would really appreciate your insights:Can Adobe apps (like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, etc.) run smoothly on Azure without noticeable lag, especially on a low-spec local machine? How dependent is the experience on internet speed and latency? Will the performance be comparable to running Adobe apps on a high-end local desktop? Is the overall experience (UI responsiveness, rendering, playback, etc.) the same as the native desktop version, or are there limitations? Are there any common issues or challenges (input lag, file handling, GPU limitations, etc.) I should be aware of?I’m mainly looking for a stable, lag-free workflow for creative tasks despite having older hardware locally.

I tried to use Firefly upscaler to enlarge an album cover, but I’m getting a guidelines error.   “We encountered and issue with your result.  Please view our guidelines and try again."  The problem is a very simple and tasteful nude illustration on the cover.  If I remove the nude artwork, the upscale is generated without any problems.   Images are below.  Image on left would not upscale, but the image on the right upscaled without a problem.  While I understand this is intended to prevent users from creating pornography or images with explicit nudity, this image is clearly neither of those things.  I was able to use a competitors software to get the job done, but it would be a more efficient workflow to stay in Photoshop.    I've seen numerous posts from users in the fashion industry that cannot upscale images for the same reason.  If you worked for a publication like Playboy, I would imagine the generative tools would be completely useless for editing their content. There needs to be

The generative upscale in Photoshop has crashed. Neither Topaz nor Firefly has been working for hours. The loading bar fills up but then it gives an error.

I create renders in V-Ray/Maya. I’ll have a PSD that is a stack of different render elements, all of which have had the ‘As Transparency / As Alpha Channel’ option specifically selected when I’m creating my composition.Often, I’ll start compositing as soon as my render has started, rather than waiting for the final image. If I save out the render elements again whilst my render is running, or when it’s finished, when Photoshop automatically updates the smart objects it breaks what option I’ve chosen and will choose it’s own option - I think it goes by whatever I selected last.Can Adobe please make it so that the render layers keep their chosen option when they are (automatically) updated?

Ive been following everything and i still cant do itI press option and click on the layer mask channel to paste my texture overlay and it still doesnt paste. No matter if i do it the shortcut way or the way through the menu and ive reset my tool and the app and still nothing im so frustrated. It lets me edit the layer mask with brushes but i cant paste anything into the layer.

Seeking assistance for a zooming issue. I have already checked and unchecked enable gestures and scroll to zoom, ensured that photoshop is using my systems graphics processor and the issue persists. I am able to zoom by pinching on other applications so it is not a hardware issue. The left-right scrolling also seems to be inverted. I have also uninstalled, reinstalled both photoshop 2024 and 2025. Any assistance would be much appricated as this has entirely derailed my workflow

When trying to add a new color swatch the first in line is replaced instead. Not possible to create a new one. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone. As above, how do I speak to an actual person online about my ended subscription plan, the virtual assistant is a complete and utter total waste of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About 2 releases ago, I began to have an issue where the spot removal tool, intermittently, takes a VERY long time - like 10 to 15 seconds to do a simple white dot removal on a uniform black background.  I’ve tried to work through it, hoping Adobe would fix the problem, but this is absolutely killing my productivity.  System:I9 285K RTX 5070 TI 64BG DDR5 Asus  ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI MB Win 11 64 Latest updates and drivers for everythingSettings:Generative AI Off Remove after every click Spot size ~ 35 Nothing but Bridge and PS runningProblem Details:PS is seemingly random as to when it has this issue.  I haven’t been able to discern any pattern.  I can be removing leaves from the surface of a pond, for example.  I will click on 2 or 3 leaves and they are removed almost instantaneously (as was always the case before this problem appeared) with good results.  The next leaf I click on, a popup appears and the progress bar creeps across.  8 to 20 seconds later, it finishes.  It might do

With some updates of photoshop actions are lost...to be never found again unless user saved a copy somewhere. I would like all actions, and also bridge workflows etc to be saved in the adobe cloud so that they never get lost.

Shouldn't the Copyright info URL be displayed also under IPTC? exporting jpegs and everything is filled out correctly or there another setting somewhere that strips it? thank you

When creating a selection with the polygonal lasso I used to be able to use the ESC key to exit out of the selection. Also, using the delete or backspace key used to allow me to go pack to a previous point in my selection. Neither of these functions are working for me anymore on Windows 10 Pro 64bit and Photoshop 23.4.2

This past week very annoying little pop ups have been appearing on the right side of my Photoshop that I am assuming is AI generated by what I'm doing presently. I don't want them - at all. They just clutter up my screen and have absolutely no value to my process at this experience level. How do I turn them off? No, this is not about the left side panel tool tips and rich tool tips. I've already shut those off through preference and they are unrelated to this new annoyance as far as I can tell. Here is a screenshot of one of these pop ups. 

Photoshop 27.x forces large hover tooltip panels (e.g., Generative Fill) with no option to disable them. These appear across tools and interfere with normal workflow. Previous versions allowed turning off “Rich Tooltips,” but that control has been removed. Please restore a simple preference to disable these panels.

so simple the Rearrange document windows(window-arrange) and what i looking for is “3-up stack”. this is good if the 1 on the left(alone) go to the right or this arrange is flip. its any way to modify or add a new arrange set up? also pleas dont the “u can move that manual by u self” pleas.

I have premier, this seems simple, but i am SUCH a rookie, it’s kicking my ass. It’s simple captions in a music video, the replacement text is so similar that the background barely matters. but like i said, it’s beaten me.help? thankyou

Hi there everyone,   Hope everyone is doing well!   There is a problem with transparency handling in PNG files exported from Picsart premium APK MOD download . When importing these PNGs into Adobe Photoshop (v25.4.1 - 2024), the transparent areas appear completely black or white instead of being transparent.   Steps To Reproduce: Open Picsart on BlueStacks 5. Create a new project with a transparent background. Add some elements (text, stickers or effects) and export the image as a PNG with transparency enabled. Open the exported PNG file in Adobe Photoshop. Notice that the transparent areas appear black/white instead of clear transparency.   Expected Result: The exported PNG file should maintain proper transparency, so when opened in Photoshop, the transparent areas should remain clear and editable.   Actual Result: The transparent areas become solid black or white. The image does not retain an alpha channel, making it unusable for further editing. Open

Hi all -- I really need HELP... I see @Sameer K addressed this on Sep 12, 2023 (Photoshop tool icons are missing), however, PSD has evolved so much  AND I am not super technical. So, before I attempt that solution, I'd like to know if Sameer K's fix is still the right solution for today's Photoshop. Thank you in advance for your help!! Here are the details:Adobe Photoshop 2024 - PC Desktop - Windows 10Opened Photoshop last weekIcons missing from toolbar  (see three photos below)When I click to CHOOSE a tool within a specific field in the toolbar some icons are there, but IMPORTANT tools are missing (move, crop, brush tools, etc)   (see three photos below) Important tools missing from edit > toolbar view (move, crop, brush tools, etc) (see three photos below)Logged into Adobe CC - Updated PhotoshopTool icons were there when I relaunched PhotoshopToday, a week later, the tool icons are MIALogged into Adobe CC for other updates (no other PSD updates s

Hi All,When I first used the “Define Pattern” function in photoshop, it asked me where I wanted to save the pattern to.  I have since saved multiple patterns but it only asked for the location that first time.  Now, I am trying to find where they’ve all been saved to as I cannot remember which folder I selected.  I am trying to delete certain patterns.  I did see that I can right click from the pattern panel but it’s bothering me that I cannot find the file path itself.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Or am I searching for something that doesn’t exist?I am on macOS Sequoia 15.5 and photoshop version 27.3.1I’ve tried searching various folders in my hard drive but cannot find them except that in ~Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2026/Presets/Patterns I found a handful of patterns that look like default patterns.  In that folder, there is a file named “Artists Brushes Canvas.pat”.  Would my custom patterns all be included in that file maybe?  I appreciate anyone’s help.  Thank y

Ich habe ausversehen und möchte verhindern das ich den Zugriff auf meinen Cloud Speicher verliere. Wie nehme ich das Abo wieder auf?

As of a few days ago, my "Object Selection Tool" has stopped working. Magic and Quick work as they always have, but for some reason, when I go to Object Selection the same error message appears every single time. "Couldn't find an object to select. There might not be enough edge contrast, or the object might be too small." I have to crop out garments from white backgrounds nearly every day for my job so it is not like the images have altered or differed for there to be an issue that way.I have tried resetting the tool, messing with the "Sample All Layers", "Hard Edge" etc, but nothing seems to work. Help please.
