Questions

I'm trying to figure out how to sort filenames in the Photoshop "Your Files" so it matches the order of Finder on Mac. All of the filenames start with a number, and in Finder these are sorted numerically as in 100, 500, 900, 1000, 5000, 9000. In Photoshop they are sorted as 100, 1000, 500, 5000, 900, 9000 I can't find any way to change this behavior, any suggestions appreciated. PS. This came up because I tried to move 100 files to Creative Cloud and 10 of them failed (silently) to convert and upload. I'm trying to figure out which ones are missing. It would be quick and easy to compare if they were sorted the same way. Suggestions for how to avoid such massive upload failures are also welcome.

Estou tendo um problema com a Galeria de Desfoque do Photoshop. Quando tendo aplicar algum desfoque da galeria, os controle que deveriam aparecer na área de trabalho não estão aparecedo. Por exemplo, quando tento usar o Desfoque Direcional não aparece a seta azul na imagem para que o controle a direção do desfoque. Gostaria de saber como resolver isso.

Using the rectangular selection tool, select an area. Then use the Select/Modify/Smooth operation on it for something like 10 pixels. Now fill the selection with a color and see that the smoothed edges are actually aliased and jagged. To contrast, if you use another selection tool such as lasso and create straight lines by holding down Alt/Option, and create a polygon selection, then use the smooth operation on it and fill the shape, you see that the smoothing is actually antialiased as expected.I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that the "Anti-alias" checkbox is grayed out and unchecked when using the rectangular selection tool, so it's treating it as aliased edges even during the smoothing operation. Finally, why is it so impossible to properly report bugs for Photoshop?

Sometimes, when I open Photoshop, it gives me an error box, and all my actions are deleted. This is the third time this week and 9th time all together since less than a month. I am not pressing any keyboards buttons, and I don't notice thing out of the ordinary before it happens. Obviously I have my action folder backed up, but this is getting a bit annoying. 

About two months ago, all the tools disappeared from my Adjustments panel. There is no Exposure, Levels, or any of the other tools that I normally use when editing photos. This panel is very important to me and makes my workflow much more convenient.I have installed all the latest updates, completely uninstalled Photoshop, and reinstalled it, but nothing has helped so far.Could you please advise how to fix this issue? I am attaching a screenshot showing how the Adjustments panel currently looks.Unfortunately, I do not have a version of Photoshop in English.

Photoshop 26.11.2The photograph workspace sometimes disappears when opening a .arw, after making adjustments in Camera Raw,.  i.e, the panels and toolbars have all disappeared and only the photograph is displayed in a blank window.  I use a toolbar preset that I have saved.  The pannels and toolbars can be restored by resetting the photography workspace and reloading my toolbar preset (.tbr file), but it happens frequently and is very annoying. Steps to recreate:1.  Open a .arw file by double clicking on it in Bridge > Photograph opens in Camera Raw.2.  Make adjustments to the photo in Camera Raw (usually auto adjustments, masks, sharpening, dust removal).3.  After adjustments are finished, click Open > Photograph now opens in Photoshop, but sometimes, the side panels (histogram, adjustments, layers) and toolbars (my own saved preset toolbar) have disappeared.   Steps to restore:1.  Click on Window -> Workspace ->

Where does Adobe provide the cost breakdown of credit use for the following Photoshop AI generative tools. It's now obvious that the use of these tools are more than one (1) credit per generation as I only have 187 of 2250 credits remaining.   Also, does Adobe provide users with a "count" of generative runs or do I need to continuing relying on old-fashioned pen and paper to track my generative runs/scans. Firefly Image 3 - Firefly Image 1 - FLUX.2 pro - FLUX Kontext pro - Gemini 3 (with Nano Banana Pro) - Gemini 2.5 (with Nano Bannana) -  I've only been using the tools to "repair and restore" and "create high resolution image from photo" on some very old family photos (mid 1800's to mid 1900's).  Amazing stuff though as these tools are litterally placing a human soul into my old sepia imagery using my "secret contextural sauce" to create some awesome results.1901-William & Katherine Weeks-Ai Before-After-Copy.jpg In this one, AI only added the fire into the kiln and barely colouri

I would like to be able to turn off automatic masks for Adjustment Layer Presets as we can with Adjustment Layers. This will enable a way to simulate LUTs with CMYK images.

Hello,I have been dealing with a Photoshop issue for the past three days, and nothing has worked. Until three days ago, I had been using Photoshop for over a year without any problem, even when my storage was low. Suddenly, one morning, with 180 GB free space and 16 GB RAM, without any updates, driver changes, or system modifications, Photoshop began crashing. One Adobe agent, almost mocking me, told me to open images via the “Open” method, which is impractical and not normal. Another agent connected to my computer and told me my GPU was broken and I should get a new machine.I asked Adobe if they had somehow banned me, because the same issue occurs on both of my devices. I have done everything possible: reset my computer, performed clean installations, changed drivers, and tried every solution imaginable. Four different Adobe agents connected to my computer and tried numerous things, yet none could solve the problem. Despite failing to fix it, some agents told me misleading statements

I opened an ARW Raw file in PS as a smart object.  I have done extensive edits to a single mask in ACR.  When I close ACR, it wrote the smart object.  It was a bit slow to save the smart object, but that was not surprising since there were a lot of edit.  I then did a "Save as" to save the file with a new file name; the save seems to be hung up.  The lower left corner says "Saving 10%", and has been stuck there for hours.  I checked with Task Manage and PS is using 0% of the CPU, with occasional jumps up to 1%.  After a couple of hours I clicked the X next to "Saving 10%" to cancel the save.  No change.  It's stuck on Saving 10%.   There is only one layer, the opened smart object, and the only edits have been in ACR by double clicking the smart object.  A very routine work flow.   I do not want to loose many hours of editing but I see no way to get PS out of this state so I can recover and save my work.&nbs

Hello All, I know, Scratch disks are widely discussed but I can’t find anything specifically about my issue.   Years ago, when upgrading to SSDs I was told that I won’t need a scratch disk since I have my C drive exclusively reserved for the operating system and all storage on D drive, so: “C” = 1 TB SSD NVMe, 796 GB free of 930 GB … 32GB RAM … Intel i9. (Win11 Pro, latest built) As of late, though, I keep reading I should have a scratch disc after all …???   So, besides the D drive (1 TB SSD NVMe, 680 free) I still have a 2 TB Hard Drive (F) from previous setup, empty / not used.   - Would it make any sense to check that one as scratch disk in PS settings ?   - Just F or both, C and F?   - Does the order play a roll? 1 – 2, etc   - Why are there so many articles regarding “How to empty the Scratch Disk / Scratch Disk Full?” I never have any temp/scratch files … if so, where? With PS and a large file open, I can NOT find any temp files from PS, not on C or

Hello all - I usually print on Canson Platine and in the past have had no issues with selecting its profile (which I installed) and matching recomended media type (semigloss). But I am now trying to print on Hahnemuhle's Bamboo and have downloaded and installed (2x) its profile in Color Synch folder and have successfully been able to select it for soft-proofing and in the PS dialog box. See attachments for rest of settings. I am using a 2021 MacBook Pro with Sequoia 15.6. Here is the problem: the recommended Media type is Velvet Fine Art - but all the Fine Art media types are grayed out. I can't figure out why this is? I made some tests choosing the Ultra Premium Presentation Matte media type and it's ok - but I imagine I can get a better image selecting the recommended media type. Also to note:- I first had the paper in the auto feeder slot but switched to the rear feeder as recommended by Epson for their own Velvet Fine Art paper. - The ink has switched out to Matte.&n

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/photoshop-library-greyed-out/m-p/15499239Hey everyone this is a issue that keeps happening for me and I can't figure out what it is or how to fix it. The issue is my library is showing up in the libraries panel but all the elements in the library are greyed out and I can't open any of them or drag them into a document. Sometimes restarting my computer fixes it and sometimes it doesn't. I have experienced this in Photoshop 2024, 2025, and 2026. Currently all apps are up to date and I am able to download the files from the creative cloud app but the library in photoshop is still greyed out and unusable with a note that says "this item is not supported in photoshop".  My coworkers are able to access and use the shared library. I've been experiencing this off and on since 2023 (see prev discussion post) and have tried several suggestions to fix it but nothing seems to work.  

Bonjour, quand je veux enregistré en H264 un montage vidéo cela ne fonctionne pas, ça mouline sans rien faire.mais en MOV ça fonctionne.besoin d'aide svp merci. 

I am working in CC2021 because I can't reinstall CC2019.  As I am using CC21 my brushes are switching to the last tool before I selected it.  When I go in the preferance/tool section to turn off Spring-loaded tools it's not there.  Where is it in CC21 so I can turn it off.  It's an annoying feature.  Thanks.

Consistent Dust / Artifact Removal Across Multiple Texture Maps in Photoshop (Base Color, Normal, Displacement)I am working with textile scans generated by a fabric scanning system.Each scan produces several perfectly aligned texture maps, all with the same resolution and framing:Base Color (BASE) - the real photographic image of the fabricNormal Map (NRM) - tangent-space normal mapDisplacement Map (DISP) - height/displacement information(sometimes also Roughness, Alpha, etc.)Occasionally, small dust particles or scanning artifacts appear, and they are present in the exact same physical location across all maps.My goal is to remove these artifacts while maintaining spatial and physical consistency between the maps.What I am trying to achieve:Apply a correction (dust removal) at the same pixel position and scale across all mapsKeep each map edited independently (not merged or baked together)Avoid destructive workflows that would break the technical validity of normal or d

When I downloaded Photoshop 2026 - it prompted me to test features and loaded this photo to test the Ai - which I did. I then exited out of this test and closed it without saving it. Now, everytime I open my computer, whether or not photoshop is open, this photo pops up. I've exited out of it almost 20 times, and it just keeps popping up. Getting a bit frustrating.

Hi, everyone. Over the last couple of days, new .PSD files display in File Explorer as plain white squares vs. thumbnails. Older .PSD files display properly.  I've Googled the problem and hit up Reddit and tried all the "fixes", but none work for me. What I've tried so far:  1) Checked folder view to ensure that Always show icons, never thumbnails is UNchecked2) Restarted File Explorer in the Task Manager3) Restarted my computer4) The folder I view from is a shortcut. I have checked the source folder as well - same behavior5) Checked my graphics card driver and ensured it is up-to-date6) Copied the errant .PSD files to my desktop - same behavior. I thought perhaps just those 3 file thumbnails were corrupted some way, but I just created a new .PSD and I have the same issue. Any ideas on the problem and how to fix it?

Since updating to Photoshop 2026, the Color panel no longer updates live when adjusting Color Balance (Image > Adjustments > Color Balance).In Photoshop 2025 and earlier, the Color panel reflected the changes in real time while moving the sliders. Now, the panel only updates after confirming the adjustment.This is a regression and breaks color correction workflow, especially when relying on numeric RGB feedback. Steps to reproduce:1. Open any image2. Open Color panel3. Go to Image > Adjustments > Color Balance4. Adjust sliders with Preview enabled5. Notice the Color panel does not update liveExpected behavior:Color panel updates in real time during Color Balance adjustments (as in Photoshop 2025).Actual behavior:Color panel remains static until adjustment is applied.Impact:Slows down professional color correction workflows and removes reliable numeric feedback during adjustments.

Hi,I can't get drop shadow in fx to work.  All of the other options work except Outer Glow and Drop Shadow. It worked in the 2024 version, why not 2025 or 2026?I added the legacy styles and see it but nothing happens when I click on the sliders.I would go back to the 2024 version but I recently uninstalled it thinking the 2025 version was functioning.  Is it broken in the later versions? I really need it for my website. Windows 10 desktop

Could we have it fixed please.  it's often  important to bend some stripe like details on textures/patterns  staying   non-destructive  and pattern preview could be very helpful.   Best addition through last decade actually .    

I've run into an issue opening a PSD file I previously worked on several months ago. Photoshop simply gets stuck on the "Preparing Smart Object" step and it takes a very long time to open a fairly simple file. The fans on the computer kick up doing this too, so I've never let it finish. However, the same file opens relatively fine on a laptop I have as well. It struggles a bit on the same step, but it doesn't get stuck at it.I've already tried restarting the computer and updating GPU drivers, but the result is the same. Here are some specs from the computers involved: The Desktop (which I believe created the file back in June)Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.2.0 20251213.r.15 e3408e7 x64 (final, Release)Number of Launches: 566Operating System: Windows 11 64-bitVersion: 11 or greater 10.0.22631.5909System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:14, Stepping:13, AVX2, HyperThreadingPhysical processor count: 8Logical processor count: 16Processor speed: 3600 MHzBuilt-in memory: 65365
