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!

Hello Adobe Team, I would like to report a significant inconvenience when working with PDF files stored in Creative Cloud. Currently, it is not possible to open PDF documents directly in Photoshop or Illustrator from the cloud. The system always forces PDF to open in Acrobat, even though Photoshop and Illustrator fully support editing PDF files locally. This workflow creates additional steps: I have to download the file first, then open it manually in Photoshop or Illustrator. For heavy files this process is especially time-consuming and inefficient. I kindly ask Adobe to consider allowing users to open and edit PDF files directly from Creative Cloud in Photoshop and Illustrator, the same way we can open PSD, AI, or other supported formats. This would greatly improve flexibility and productivity for designers and artists who rely on Creative Cloud for file storage. Thank you for your attention.

I'm wildly confused. I've used this programs years and have never come across this issue. I must has tweaked my setting somewhere. But where? It's most likely so simple and I'll look like an idiot in the end, but it'll be worth it.Whenever I have exported files from my project, only the visible area on my canvas is included on my final file. But now, the whole original image is there. What the heck?Here is it. Canvas with about 40% of my original photo visible. The way I like it, and the way I want it to export.I go to export, and the whole friggin' photo is there:I've cropped the image with the "delete cropped pixels" function on too, and the stupid thing still shows up.I know I'm overlooking something. Community, please help Many thanks!

A level 2 Adobe support rep sent me here. I am unable to reactivate by install of the Adobe CS6 Master Suite as I have reached the maximum device activations. I had some software issues that required full system reinstalls, which prevented me from deactivating my installs. Apparently, support is unable to reset activations anymore. Is there any way to reset this on my end? There are no devices listed under "Activated Devices" in my account page.

I noticed the tie of my subjects is off to the side. What is a good (retaining shirt texture around it etc.) way to fix this?

Hello,I previously submitted a bug report here and received a suggested solution. However, the same issue has continued to occur repeatedly. Even after renaming the “24” folder to “old” and reverting it back several times, the bug has persisted and keeps reoccurring.At this point, even modifying the folder no longer resolves the issue.For reference, this is the post I followed:https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/photoshop-tool-icons-are-missing/idi-p/13895953 Is it possible that this issue persists because I am running Windows 10 Pro? I followed the instructions exactly as described, but the same bug continues to reoccur and the problem remains unresolved.While reinstalling the software temporarily resolves the issue, the bug reappears shortly after, forcing me to repeat the reinstallation process. Each time, I have to reconfigure all my plugins, brushes, and settings, which is extremely time-consuming and inconvenient. If it were only a matter of the

I’m on macOS [insert version], running Photoshop 2025 26.10.0, with a Wacom [tablet model] on driver version [insert number]. The issue: Using the default Soft Round Pressure Size brush with Minimum Diameter = 0%.In Wacom Diagnostics, pen pressure reads cleanly from 0 → 100%.In Photoshop, the stroke never fills the full brush circle. It only expands to about 75% of the brush diameter, regardless of brush size.Adjusting Wacom’s pressure curve (including Customize mode) makes no difference.In earlier Photoshop versions, full pressure filled or even exceeded the brush circle.  What I’ve tried: Reset Photoshop brushes (reloaded Default Brushes).Tested with a brand-new document, default brush.Verified macOS permissions: Photoshop and Wacom are both added to Accessibility and Input Monitoring.Cleaned and reinstalled the Wacom driver.Reset Photoshop preferences.Disabled GPU in Preferences (no change).  Expected:Full pen pressure (100%) should map to the full

Hello! Today I wanted to share one of the processes I have integrated into my Adobe Photoshop workflow, which I use daily in the form of batch retouching actions. For lack of a better name, it could be considered something like an "automatic zoom," and it takes advantage of certain features of the program in a way I haven’t seen anywhere else. In the video you can see the two variations of the process:The first one, whose purpose is to zoom into general areas of the file (the bottom third, the center, the top, etc.), requires using percentages as the program measurement method. A real use case could be retouching the shoes in an e-commerce shoot, where the model is positioned in the same spot across different photos. In just a couple of seconds, the screen will be centered on the shoes in each image where this process is applied.The second one makes use of "Select people" tool to zoom into specific parts of the body. As shown in the example, it can be used to zoom into the face within

I'm trying to record menu items via scripting, and am coming up empty. Modifying the below, I've gotten it to show up in the Automate Menu as "Bologna", and record as "Bologna" in actions rather than "Scripts Name: "Bologna"" 1. How do I create an event ID for my script? I modified this one from Contact Sheet II2. How do I call my menu item properly with a script? I've tried iterations of: app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("Bologna"));And get the error message:"The object “<unknown> menu item” is not currently available."3. Alternatively, can I use runMenuItem for any of the scripts? I tride "Automate: Bologna" and "Scripts: Bologna" and neither worked.GOAL: Is to record a menu item to an action, I'm on an M1 chip and scripting listener no longer works.Also tried it with contactSheetII and get the same error. /* <javascriptresource> <name>$$$/AdobePlugin/PIPLInfo/PluginName/testing123=Bologna</name> <menu>automate</menu> <category>Sc

How to delete action set through java extended script in photoshop 2025.unloadAction() is no more an action !!

  I'm getting a strange error. On Friday, I used Photoshop normally, but today, when I tried to open it, it didn't work. When I clicked the shortcut, it didn't show the home screen, and nothing else happened. When I accessed the Task Manager, it showed that the EXE file was open, but it wouldn't load.I've restarted, checked for pending updates (there aren't), and as a last resort, I deleted Photoshop and reinstalled it, but nothing changed. I don't know what else to do to fix this error. I'm working in an windows, and his updates are ok.

Hi, since the last 2 updates I keep having these problems, they are making me go crazy. First I can't open raw files from Bridge to Photoshop, I get a popup saying the file can't be opened due to a program error. Second, with the updates I lost all camera raw favorite presets and color profiles. And every time I close PS because I can' topen a file, camera raw preferences reset. I tried rolling back, uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, I tried renaming the PS settings folder, I updated my graphic processor. I think I tried everything... I run on Windows 11. Here is the diagnostc tool file:Photoshop Error informationCode: -1Text: because of a program errorMessage: Could not open “_JAZ8101.NEF” because of a program error.Stack:{"load":[{"Photoshop.exe":"00007FF621030000"},{"ScriptingSupport.8li":"00007FF9B80D0000"}],"offsets":[{"Photoshop.exe":[119666050,119637768,97392588,97378970,97372058,97388115,12358052,18536251,18566676,18564381,18563330,45816388,43218785,9479766,14186083

I know this has to be a bug because the design of the Toolbox has been pretty much the same for thirty years. You don't switch it up like this. The Paint Bucket and the Gradient tool are always together. Now the Gradient tool is alone - right clicking doesn't give you additional options - and you can't access the Paint Bucket (which is a really important tool) unless you click the three dots at the bottom of the Toolbox panel. I had to ask Help to find it. Help then displayed the icon for me under the three dots. So yay. Now I know where the Paint Bucket is. Not sure why it's there, but okay. I needed to use the Wizard tool to highlight an area and then apply Paint Bucket to fill it with another color. Once I'd selected Paint Bucket, that was the only tool that displayed when I clicked the three dots at the bottom of the panel. There was no list of tools, as I noticed there is when I don't select and use one. So, now I couldn't find the Wizard tool (it also wasn't where

One idea I had to leverage the power of AI that would be game changing and useful ,would be the ability to take A photo and automatically composite all the elements into layers, even to go as far as filling in the areas you dont see.So for example imagine a picture of a woman walking in front of a city with cars and buildings. AI could seperate the woman into the top layer, and the city/cars/ect into another layer and fill in the area where the woman was so if you move the woman layer there are no building gaps anymore. Maybe you could select how many composite layers you want to generate or maybe hand select a single element you wish seperate and composite for you to fill in the layers below.This is also useful for editing elements easier and work more freely.AI Video already sort of does this, and you could do this manually which is time consuming but instead we are just taking the same technology and using AIs'  compositing abilities in a useful way directly inside a photo edit

Ever since Photoshop 2025 on the desktop has come out I have been having a massive amount of problems with fonts in existing projects. This has been such a problem that I've actually had to reinstall Photoshop 2024 in order to work on most of my previous projects. I've just come to the point now to where it's extremely irritating that I can't use the software so I thought I would throw out a question here to try to figure out what's going on. In the attachments you'll see there are two different screenshots. One is from 2025 where the tax on the bottom of the shield is missing, and 2024 where it's visible. These are the exact same file being opened by two different applications. Being completely disappeared is one of the problems. The other problem is when I go to change text in an existing image it immediately defaults to a different font. The default font it's using is different for every image, I can however go back highlighted select the font and supposed to be and then s

I'm running Windows 10. My desktop suddenly cannot access Lightroom pix from Photoshop 2025. If I try to, the sidebar menu freezes and Photoshop shoots up to 99% RAM, which efffectively halts my entire pc. If I exit Photoshop it still keeps using the same amount of Ram, and I have to End Task through Task Manager to actually halt it. Notes:- The same photoshop account CAN be accessed from a coworkers laptop and is able to load Lightroom photos with no issues. - Uninstalling Photoshop and the entire Creative Cloud and reinstalling it does nothing. - Renaming the preferences file does nothing. - Creating a new user id, logging in on the desktop and then the photoshop account, does nothing. - Installing an older version of Photoshop does nothing. - Agent tried running the CC Cleaner app, but it did nothing. I've gone through 4 help agents, all of who logged in to my pc remotely to "fix" the problem and all of whom could not fix it. They all accidently di
