Questions

In Photoshop 27.5 on a Mac running 26.2 when I attempt to add canvas to a photo the dialog box contains an anchor box. This anchor no longer has the arrows in all of the boxes except the center which does contain a dot. How can I get the arrows back?The anchor box used to add canvas to a photo is missing the arrows. How do I get them back 

To get it back, I have to use the menu Window > Uncheck CTBar, and then use Window > Check CTB. Every time I get the CTB back, I pin it. This only happened when version 27.5.0 was released.

I know in the older version there was no way to increase the cursor size within the app. Is there any way to increase the cursor size in new version? My setting & sizes as follows.    

I’m an experienced Photoshop user and I had been using this setting for a long time without any issues. However, I had to reset my settings recently, and since then, this feature has not been working properly.Here’s the issue:When I hold the Shift key and scale from the corner handles, proportional scaling works fine. However, when I try to scale from the top, bottom, left, or right edges while holding Shift, it does not scale proportionally.What I’ve tried so far:Reset the settings multiple times Reinstalled Photoshop and tried 2–3 different versionsBut the issue still persists.---Eski bir Photoshop kullanıcısıyım ve bu ayarı uzun zamandır aktif olarak kullanıyordum. Ancak geçen gün ayarları sıfırlamak zorunda kaldım ve o zamandan beri bu özellik düzgün çalışmıyor.Sorunu şöyle açıklayayım:Shift tuşuna basıp köşe noktalarından (çapraz) ölçeklendirdiğimde orantılı büyütme/küçültme sorunsuz çalışıyor. Ancak üst, alt, sağ ve sol kenarlardan Shift tuşuna basarak orantılı şekilde büyütme/kü

I have just imported a load of files (see attached) and they look corrupt - when I open them in PS they display okay but in Bridge they are displaying as errors - I have never seen anything like this before 

I recently upgraded my motherboard and now I can’t use my copy of Photoshop CS6 because it says my serial number is already in use by the maximum allowed computers.Those computers no longer exist, so I have no way to deactivate the licences on them.I tried to deactivate devices in my account settings, but that didn’t help. Is there any other way to deactivate the old installs? Thanks

Does anyone know of a quality EXR plugin for the Mac (something like EXR-IO which is Windows only)? ProEXR has not been updated for almost a year and OpenEXR is simply awful.

 Hello, my Photoshop crash after “reading color parameters”, tried to fix for days without success.All the other apps I’m using (Acrobat, Premiere, Illustrator) work flawlessly.Tried older version of Photoshop, same issue.I’m thinking of compatibility issue with recent NVIDIA drivers ?NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 32.0.15.9597 Already removed preferences, reinstalled multiple times, even using Adobe cleaner tool.Opening this discussion as I cannot find anything to solve this.

I just updated my Adobe Photoshop to Adobe Photoshop 2026 on my HP Envy x360 2 in 1 labtop 14. I realized quickly I can't remove backgrounds or select a subject. For when I select subject the text comes up saying: " Couldn't find a a subject to select, there might not be prominent objects in the image", even though clearly there is a subject. For the when I want to use remove background it says: "Couldn't find background when there is clearly a background.

I would like to raise a concern regarding the recent update to the Canvas Size dialog box. In previous versions, it was possible to quickly perform calculations directly in the width/height fields (for example, adding *2 to instantly double the canvas size). This was a very efficient workflow feature, especially for production work.With the new dialog redesign, this functionality appears to be removed or restricted. Could you please clarify whether this change was intentional, and if there are plans to restore support for direct mathematical input? For many users, this small capability significantly improves speed and efficiency.Thank you for your clarification.

I’ve finally worked out how to create a pattern dynamically so that it can be used in the same script.I used to think that you had to supply the pattern ID or the name - but never got it to work always relying on the ID - which you can’t seem to get dynamically. So for my future self: // Switch off any dialog boxesdisplayDialogs = DialogModes.ERROR; // OFFvar srcDoc = app.activeDocument;// var pattern = "knitting 32 x 32";// var pattern = "200 x 200";// var pattern = "efa405da-f126-8b45-a46d-bb2228c1f124";var pattern = "bananas"//select allactiveDocument.selection.selectAll();// save pattern save_pattern(pattern);// TEMP add new layer// =======================================================var idMk = charIDToTypeID( "Mk " );var desc6963 = new ActionDescriptor();var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );var ref1222 = new ActionReference();var idLyr = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );ref1222.putClass( idLyr );desc6963.putReference( idnull, ref1222 );var idUsng = charIDToTypeID( "Usng" );var desc69

Hello, I'm trying to remove the background of an image. I bring the image into PS, goto properties > Quick Actions > Remove Background. I click it, the system thinks for a second and then comes up with an error saying that 'Remove Background Failed'   The background layer is unlocked etc. I've tried everything. The image was downloaded from a paid version of Vecteezy, so it shouldn't be a permissions issue. Note: moderator removed Actions and Scripting from tags.  

Hi, I just updated my photoshop to 2025 and have noticed a considerable brush lag since the update.  Normally I go to settings>preferences>deactivate native canvas rulers, but I don't see that option in 2025.  Any advice on how to improve the brush lag?

We have a studet in our school. She createdAdobe cloud data. After the left the school, here Adobe account was deactivated. I saw here account but not as an active one. I shared here data with my Adobe account and was able to download a .zip file. This file contains a couple of .psdc file, but these files can’t be used in Photoshop for example. We want to help the studet to either:Convert the Adopbe Cloud files (.psdc) or Activate here Adobe student account, that she is able to work with the cloud data by here own.

I’ve been working on a few websites recently and started exploring Adobe-based tools (like Adobe Experience Manager / Adobe portfolio setups), and I’m a bit confused when it comes to SEO.With platforms like WordPress, it’s straightforward — you just install something like Yoast and get guidance. But with Adobe tools, I don’t really see an equivalent “plugin” system.So my question is:how are you guys handling SEO on Adobe-based websites?Are there any tools, extensions, or workflows you rely on? Or is it mostly manual optimization?From what I’ve tested so far, it seems like everything depends on:manually setting meta titles and descriptions structuring content properly handling internal linking on your ownI was also comparing this with a small project I worked on [link removed] and interestingly, the improvements came more from content structure and on-page fixes rather than any tool.Which makes me wonder if I’m overthinking the “plugin” side of things.Would really appreciate if someone

Al usar el relleno generativo con la herramienta lazo y expandir zonas, al generarse la nueva capa con IA, deja un surco bastante notable entre la capa original y la generada, algo que anteriormente fusionaba sin problema. Llega hasta crearse una sombra entre capa y capa, haciendo muy notable la combinación. No he tocado ningún ajuste para que eso se haya configurado de tal manera, no se si a alguien mas le pasa o sabe que ajuste tocar para que todo se resetee. A veces retocando con la densidad mejora pero es algo que anteriormente nunca he tenido que usar ya que funcionaba perfectamente. Un saludo

As described, if I leave any Adobe app open and I leave my Mac on sleep, the next day I need to force quit all Adobe apps left opened since they are all frozen.OS: macOS Sequoia- V.15.3

Hello,After updating to Photoshop version 26.10, I noticed an unexpected change in the behavior of the Free Transform tool.In previous versions, Free Transform would maintain the aspect ratio by default when dragging from the corners, which is the workflow I’m used to. But in version 26.10, the object now transforms without keeping the aspect ratio unless I manually hold Shift — and sometimes the behavior feels reversed (Shift toggles the opposite). This has made the workflow confusing and less practical.- I already checked that “Use Legacy Free Transform” is unchecked.- I also made sure the link/lock icon (Maintain Aspect Ratio) is active in the options bar.- Despite these checks, the issue persists in version 26.10.Could someone confirm if this is an intended change in Photoshop 26.10, or if it’s a bug that needs fixing?I really hope Adobe restores the previous default behavior where aspect ratio is preserved automatically, as this change is very disruptive for design work.Thank you.

Hello. This message starts to pop up now with using GenAI tool (Photoshop beta and 26.7.0, both version) "You don't have enough credits for this generative action. Upgrade your Firefly plan now to get more credits for continued access or wait until your monthly reset."I have the annual subscription (renewed several days ago) and 250 credits included into this plan. Usually when all credits are gone, GenAI just continue to work slower, but there wasn't any block to use this tool. Are there any new rules/tariff changes for using this tool?

I’m facing an issue that I’ve been trying to solve for the past two weeks.My computer is compatible with Photoshop 2022, but when I try to install Photoshop through Adobe Creative Cloud, it tells me that the current version is not compatible with my system. The problem is that I cannot find the option to install older versions within Creative Cloud.I’ve searched for solutions and read many articles, but none of them worked.I’m looking for a real solution to this issue, or a way to download a compatible version of Photoshop. If possible, I would appreciate a direct download link for Photoshop 2022.

I’m experiencing a weird, ongoing issue.Intermittently, when I open up a PSD file in Photoshop, a separated ‘Help article’ window on the Adobe website opens in my browser (in the latest case: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/desktop/text-typography/get-started-with-text/add-text.html#update-text-layer)I’m certain it’s not a mis-click, and it’s been happening for a number of months. It’s usually when I first open photoshop, and choose an existing file from the Home/history screen.I found an article about it possibly being a Registry Issue, but that seems like a slightly different issue, and is within Acrobat, rather than Photoshop.Useful details:Windows 11 Photoshop on latest version Issue intermittent (i.e. doesn’t happen every time). I haven’t discerned a specific pattern. I can’t recall if it’s this same help article each time, sadly.Any help appreciated!

The resolution of the generations created in Photoshop is significantly lower than when creating the same generation directly on the Gimini 3 website.
