Hello!I just try to do my first job for the week and... 🤦🏼‍♀️ Generative fill is not working??? can you help me please?🙏Thanks!  

Hello,I can see that the MOVE tool has come up repeatedly, but my issue seems particularly stubborn.When I upload an image (jpg or PNG; with the former, I change the layer from background to "layer 0") and I then try to move it with the move tool, the image gets moved into a black void, and the chequered underground - excatly the size of the image - remains in place. I don't know what is going! I never had that problem. It's PS 2025. I unchecked "show layer bounds on hover" and "show hover bounds from layers" as I also used to have an empty blue frame that was being moved, that's gone now, but this made no difference to the problem as such. As you can see in the screenshot, nothing is locked on the layer panel, and I ahve also unselected and re-selected "Auto-select: Layer", no difference. I am going insane, as moving images is pretty much the first thing one does in PS! Any help please?

This is, perhaps, the MOST frustrating thing I've ever experienced to date w/ Adobe after 25 years. Truly. Photoshop launches, then closes unexpected after a minute or two. I've uninstalled and re-installed ALL of Creative Cloud including PSD. Updated drivers. Used Adobe Cleaning Tool. Updated preferences. Changed display settings. Updated PSD preferences. Read all the community posts. HELP PLEASE!!!

Is there an easy and simple way?

There is an old problem with the Export Panel in Bridge CS6 from several years ago that has never been properly fixed.  It first happened back Oct 30, 2017 where the Export Panel disappeared.  There was a KB issued that fixed it.  Well fixed it until Nov 9, 2021 any way.  Any date after and including Nov 9, 2021 and the panel does not show up.  You can change the system time to Nov 8, 2021 and the panel appears and works just fine.  Changing the system time is the only method, but the problem is then it shows the files created on Nov 8, 2021. I realize there are probably not many that still use CS6, but it is very handy for those of us that do.  I currently use Dr Brown's Image Processor Pro which works, but takes a long time to run. Somewhere there is a setting where Bridge or the Export Panel itself reads the current time which determines whether the panel works or not.  The only part I care about getting restored is where you export

I discovered as I was quickly trying to use Lightroom Classic and Photoshop that many of my selected preferences for file handling, naming, image size, pixels per cm instead of inches, were changed. Some things like my watermark remained. I have not gone through both apps to check color space, and my copyright info and metadata settings and info, or if it has done the same to all my computers. Why no warning or permission asked? Why no instruction or way given to save all of this and put it back without spending a lot of time going through the over-complicated menus looking for hidden switches like playing a game?  

I'm no stranger to layer masks but the masks created when generating with "generative fill" do not delete completely.  The thumbnail of the image shows the entire "block or Square" of what was generated but when deleted, filled in, rasterized, expanded, copy-pasted to a new comp., all paths or channels, or "black/white" mask areas has been filled or erased or merged it NEVER seems to give what were shows on the thumbnail icon/image in the layers panel.  ?? HOW DO I generate fill a layer, then remove the mask completely, and get the entire layer's content that it generated and has shown me in the layer thumbnail? HERE ARE EXAMPLE IMAGES OF A PATTERN I MADE. Thumbnail square shows entire documents/file filled with pattern but you can't delete paste or get past the "shirt outline" that it thought it should generate I'VE TRIED:• deleting/applying mask• coloring in mask layer/area with white or black to fil document siz• copy-pasting to a new layer• creating a

This issue dates back to (around) version 26.4.1 and kept happening throught to the latest version (26.5.0). This is what happens: I start Windows, start Photoshop and try to open an image or create a new file. After a few seconds of unresponding, Photoshop crashes. I start it again and can work for 8 hours straight, it won't crash again. This behavior happens with my home computer and my work computer, which have totally different hardware. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I've attached my latest crash report, if that's of any help. Thanks!

I am gettin nuts soon using the  perspective warp!  When adding a third plane the perspective messes up and afs like lumps that are not supposed to be there. the added screenshot is just a rough placement. I know that I will have to make an extra layer for the folds on the side. But in general - is it not possible to ad three planes without this glitch? An other thing I am trying to figure out how to make a more rounded corner where the two planes meet? i find it an issue that the corner where two planes meet each other is sharp and not rounded. Is there any posibillity that I am missing? really cross my fingers that there is a perspective wizz reading this  kindly Lisbet

HiI use Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign for work, but one day this message came with error code 18000. Its done the same in InDesign and Photoshop. I have a stable internet access, I can go to Creative Cloud and open the apps from there, but the message is still there. When I uninstall the apps and install them again, it works, but the problems shows again the day after. I've tried uninstalling the whole of Adobe with Creative Clouud and install it again, but the problem is the same. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hello- I work in PSB files with many layers. When I copy merged (cmd, shift c) and paste within the same file (as a top layer), i get a significant color shift (it appears mostly a lot lighter). As its pasted back in the same file, there should no profile conflict, right?  Im in working RGB, but it happens also in adobe rgb, CMYK etc. It seems to only happen in the files with many layers. Any ideas?

Hi Community,I’m currently working on a user interface design collaboration, where each functional asset needs to be delivered in multiple resolutions. The developer will then implement these so the design can upscale or downscale depending on the user’s monitor resolution.One challenge I’m facing: I created a canvas at 1000 × 500 with several layers that have Layer Style FX applied. When I upscaled the document to 2000 × 1000, the layer effects did not scale proportionally — I had to manually adjust Scale FX for each layer. I also tested starting from 2000 × 1000 and downscaling, but ran into the same issue.My questions are:What is the best workflow or output method to prepare designs that need to scale cleanly across multiple resolutions, while keeping layer styles intact?Is it better practice to design at one master resolution (e.g., the largest), and let the developer downscale to x1, x2, x3, x4?Any guidance on best practices for resolution scaling and maintaining consistent FX wou

Hi All,I have been using PS to remove backgrounds from product images and place on a transparent background. I use the pen tool to select the product image, Click "Make Selection" feather the edges and then create a layer mask. I have been using this method for all of the images on our company website and it has been working great! But now, all of a sudden instead of deleting everything around the selection PhotoShop is deleting only the selection. When I go to make the selection I noticed that it is now creating a feathered line around both the selection and the outside of the entire image...any suggestions? It changed randomly one day, I don't recall changing any settings, I was working on an image and it worked just as it always has and not five minutes later I started the next image and it was suddenly working this way. 

Scenario: we have a smart object that we applied some transformations to it.When we right-click it manually, and choose "Convert to Layers", it prompts us to apply the transformations or not.When we do it programmatically with:executeAction(sTID('placedLayerConvertToLayers'), undefined, dialogMode)we don't have the choice to apply the transformations or not. The last choice that we've done manually is what applies.Is there a way to programmatically Convert to Layers while always applying the transformations?Edit: when the Smart object contains more than 1 layer, keeping transformations seems to be impossible. I think a good way to do it is to read the transformation matrix, convert to layers, and then reapply those transformations back to the resulting layer/group, but I was unable to do that also.

I am working in Photoshop cc trying to make a frame animation, but when I go to the menu in the top right corner of the Timeline there is no option for "make frames from layers". Does anyone know where to find this? I am in Motion workspace.

What is the reason JPG comes with a lock sign? PNG does not come.  

HELP WITH REINSTALLING OLD PHOTOSHOP VERSION 26.2 (2024) After updating Photoshop software to 26.3 (2025) from Photoshop (2024) (old version deleted in the process) it came up with the following message when opening Photoshop: "macOS 14.6.1 or later is recommended for maximum performance and correct operation of Adobe Photoshop 2025. An earlier version of macOS was detected." As I'm not able to update to macOS 14.6.1 (see operating info below), I decided to uninstall Photoshop 26.3 (2025) and reinstall the older version Photoshop 26.2 (2024) so I would have no issues using Photoshop. The app shows that I have installed the 2024 version and that an update is available, showing it correctly, HOWEVER when I open Photoshop, it's actually the new version 2025!I have uninstalled and reinstalled (via 'other versions' on the app in Creative Cloud), restarted the computer several times without any success to get the old software back. Question:Is there another way to go

I allowed myself to click on the camera raw icon when invited by Adobe - and now can't get past it every time I try to open a jpeg in photoshop. How do I get back to "simple" desktop photshop?

There is a pan/zoom MOTION option in photoshop video timeline - I cannot find ANY informatiojn on how to do this.... ANYWHERE 

Photoshop 26.8.1,Mac OS 15.5 SequoriaiMac Retina 5K, 27-inch 20203.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i964 GB 2667 MHz DDR4When using (or rather, "attempting to use") the Shadows/Hightlights adjustment behaves very erraticly when slider adjustments are moved. Happens when sliders are moved slightly or significently - lighting jumps all over the place - from extremely bright to extreemely dark. Very difficult, if not impossible to dial in a perfect balance between light and dark, despite where tolerance is set. This is all extremely frustrating.......... I would think this is a "bug", rather than inability to user's adjustment. I have been using Photoshop for 27 years and never encountered this problem with any previous version of PS. 

Photoshop is obviously an amazing program, but editing text in Photoshop is so slow that I instinctively create text in other programs then import into Photoshop rather than wrestle with how slow it is in Photoshop.  Recently I spent a little time with Affinity Photo and it's really startling that text editing in Affinity Photo has no lag at all.  The font list opens instantly and I could scroll through fonts with the type faces updating instantly.  Adobe needs to focus on the performance of quite of few of their programs.  The features are great but performance is a never ending complaint.

I'm so very confused right now and questioning my own sanity.  I swear I've done this hundreds of times and never had an issue before...I'm working on a comp right now where I have a Layer I want to make multiple copies of and move each one independent of each other.  Namely I'm trying to make a "trail" effect for a sort of Motion Blur on this.  However I cannot seem to edit them independently of each other.  No matter HOW I generate the Copy Layers, when I move one, they all move.  I've searched and tried every solution I can find but none are working.  I've converted the Layer to a Smart Object, then done "New Smart Object Via Copy".  I've copied the Smart Object then Rasterized the Layer.  I've simply dragged the Layer to the "New Layer" button (the way I'd normally do this) and no dice. I deselect all Layers.  Select ONLY the Layer I want to move, Move it, then when I let go of the Mouse, ALL the copied Layers move.  It is
