Questions

Hi all, I am not sure for the following noob question. If I open up some raw photos in lightroom or photoshop, it will use the prophoto colour space for preview, if my monitor is calibrated to the Adobe RGB profile and I export the JPG with ARGB profile tagged to it, it will view perfectly on a normal sRGB monitor as it knows that the values are for ARGB, so the new device reads the ICC profile and knows how to display it correctly on a sRGB (via some internal conversion?) and that the issue of colour mismatch some online forums are talking are simply a result of not tagging an ARGB image with a profile so the untagged image will have the value directly interpreted in an sRGB space and thus colour shifts? or if I intended to put it on web or share to friends most of the time I should alwasy just export it in sRGB profile?

Running PS 2025 on Windows 10, video editing desktop. Have used Premiere for years, no color monitor problems, using Fireworks to generate vid thumbnails (exported frames from vids with text added). Now when I import to Photoshop, the photo is super dark and weird looking, the text and watermark look ok, but if I do nothing to the photo it exports looking exactly as it should, on the same monitor. Help?

Hi I can't get the path blur blue arrow to appear. I've quit it, uninstalled it, tried it on a variety of files and nada. I'm on a mac 10.12.4 and PS is 2017.1.0 The computer is less than a year old.Oddly enough the tools seem to blur the image somewhat, it's that I am blind in doing so. Also the cursor seems to stick on one that looks like a pin.Thanks for any help Chuck Dykeman

Hi, I'm a designer who works mostly for big car companies. The company I'm currently with wants to start using AI everywhere possible, including design. They're all super dumb and just say the word AI a lot without knowing anything about how it works, and for design, we're mostly looking at image generation. I know Adobe are starting to roll out Nano Banana inside photoshop, but if i use it this way, is my work still confidential? I can't risk a new car being sent off to google to either be seen or even be used as training data. I wouldn't use Nano Banana or MJ etc. using my work as I'm sure it's not safe, but I wondered within Photoshop if Adobe can guarantee a level of privicy and keep my work confidencial. Thanks. 

I recently noticed that the grey areas in the colour picker and on my images to show colours outside of the printable colour range have disappeared. When I click view-gamutwarning nothing happens to the image and I know there are colour adjustments that need doing. The greyed out area of the colour picker has gone so there's no way to pick safe colours from there anymore.I'm using Photoshop 26.11.0 release and haven't made any changes to the setup so I'm thinking this has happened due to an update but can't be sure.Can anybody help please because it's a really important part of getting my work from the desktop and into print.Thanks.

 I've been asking ChatGPT best way to edit 369 files. I explained I used to in photoshop, but that I've seen photoshop did away with the 3D tab. Chat GPT said Creative Cloud used let's you install older versions of photoshop, but only the last few, each year. It also said it thinks Asobe no longer goes back far enough to versions of OS that allow 3D editing.  Is that true? Does owning photoshop not let you go far back enough to versions that had 3D? Thanks.

I cant uninstall PS5 , all the information it shows is,   'Your uninstallation encountered errors' I have also tried to find  the Adobe Aplication manager to install it without success. Any help would be appreciated. Konrad

I've just updated to Photoshop and now I can't drag anything with the move tool inside the canvas, nothing is locked, Auto-select is active. I also can't drag layers in the layer panels to re-order them. It was working fine, and suddenly move tool stopped working, the same with the layers panel, If i try to drag any layer, cursor changes to the hand icon and inmediately changes back to the arrow cursor with no result at all.

I tried everything I could.Run it as administrator.Reinstalled it several times.Cleared the TEMP folder.Updated the video card drivers.And it still won't start.I click Run, a blue circle appears next to my mouse, and then nothing happens. Nothing at all.The program appears in the Task Manager in the background, and all I can do is end the process.

If I create an adjustment layer, the cursor defaults to one of the adjustment sliders. This means that if I want to start adjusting the layer mask, I have to first hit enter / deselect the slider.I don't recall this being an issue in the past, it's become incredibly apparent in the last month or so and it's really disruptive. Has anyone else come across this? - MacOS- Photoshop 25.12.4

Hi I've been asked by a friend to engrave a photo onto slate, but it's a collage of photos (mostly just faces) on a white background. I need to get rid of the white to make the background transparent ready for engraving. I've searched for advice on how to do this and the answer I found (and tried was) Create a duplicate layerUse blend if (current layer) to get rid of the white. This works very well but in places there are bits on the faces that it loses too. I've tried using a black layer mask to get rid of these, but it doesn't work. See picture below for an example of what I mean.  When I apply the black layer mask, it starts with a fully transparent screen and I can paint on the faces that I want, but the bits on the faces are still transparent. Am I doing it the wrong way, or is this the right way but I'm doing it wrong? ThanksChris

Hola,Quisiera reportar un problema con el selector de fuentes en Photoshop 2025. Actualmente, cada vez que abro la lista de fuentes, esta se posiciona al inicio del orden alfabético, en lugar de mostrar la última fuente utilizada, como sí sucede en otros programas de Adobe (After Effects, Illustrator) e incluso en versiones anteriores de Photoshop.Este cambio hace que la selección de tipografías sea mucho más lenta y poco práctica, ya que obliga a recorrer manualmente la lista o a escribir el nombre de la fuente una y otra vez, lo que representa una pérdida de tiempo en el flujo de trabajo diario.Sería muy útil que Photoshop ofreciera la opción de configurar el comportamiento del selector de fuentes, de manera que los usuarios podamos elegir si preferimos que la lista:se abra mostrando la última fuente usada, o se organice siempre en orden alfabético.Creo que esta mejora beneficiaría mucho la productividad y la consistencia entre las aplicaciones de Adobe.Gracias por considerar esta su

My company does a lot of Kodak disc film scanning and we've found that dialing A.I. "Photo Restoration" in the neural filters to about 20% to 30% to reduce grain and make faces clearer. What happens though, after a couple of dozen of images, is that filter starts running extremely slow...going from about 10 seconds per image to a minute or two per image. I then have to close the images I have open and restart Photoshop. Once that's done, I get another couple of dozen images done before this issues starts again and I have to close and open Photoshop again.  Am I being throttled because of the number of images I'm processing?16 bit Tiff file sizes are around 15 mb with a pixel dimension of about 4000 x 3000 pixels created on a Phase One achromatic multispectral scanner. i7 8th generation processor 64gb DDR4 ram and an 8 gb GPU

Hi, screen capture from a flight sim of a sky, and after use of levels to make the clouds a bit more bright, noticed the blue sky graduating down from darker blue to horizon had bands of blue then turquoise-blue then blue etc repeating and getting lighter, so reached for blur tool, did nothing at all, yet blurred the clouds, so added noise, all it did was blur the noise but not the banding. .do a test, drew alternate sprays of blue and purple, overlapping , tested it, did nothing. Just how does one blend those alternate bands together keeping the progression from darker blue to lighter blue ? Blur tool seems limited, it wont blue solid colours as per my test. try it for yourself. No tool we tried made a scrap of difference. Photoshop beaten by a sim sky with banding, eh what ? Merlin

Hello, I'm trying to resize a transparent background GIF I made with After Effects using Photoshop. However, white dots are appearing on the background, just like in the photo. Normally, these areas should be completely black. Am I setting something wrong?

I've never been so lost in Photoshop and been a user since 1988... These 'rich tool tips' have taken over the program and I'm not getting any work done because of the constant intrusion... Where are preferences as I look under Photoshop and there is no way to turn off these tool tips, there is no menu called 'preferences.'  Who ever thought this should be so hidden and. forced upon the lot of us who are simply trying to get our daily work done. Need help desperately to turn this tool tips stuff off please!

Photoshop v26.11In the File menu, after selecting Your Files, Photoshop does not remember the last used directory path. The file search bar is also missing! This bug has been reported many times in the Beta version... I reported it twice myself. With this bug, Photoshop is unusable for work—you can't search for your own files, and you have to go into a specific directory from scratch every time.

Hi, can i use Photoshop and/or Lightroom for editing, managing and storing sensual photoshoots (including (semi-)nudes, but NO explicit activities)? I DO NOT want to use it for abuse or any ill-mindet activites like deep fakes. Only legal photoshoots with all participanting persons being at legal age and agreed to do the shooting with free will.  I just asked this question an Adobe Agent via Chat Support and the answer was "No, you cant!" and then the agent abrubtly ended the conversation. Is that true?  Please let me know as i have no bad intentions at all and i do not want to violate any adobe rules, i just want to know if i can use adobe products for this or need to buy different companies products. I am just a small creative photostudio. Thank you very much for your help! 

Looking to replace some text in an image that's overlayered with a stamp. When I select the area (see attached image) and add the word I want to replace, Generative Fill spits back some weird language. Any ideas how to adjust (change language, etc.)? Thanks!
