when trying to open a picture the icons of the pictures are not showing the thumbnail in the open file window

Photoshop 2026 been slowing down worse and worse with every update, and after some testing I’ve found that the performance is significantly better when GPU is disabled (but still pretty poor), and also significantly better in the 2025 version. I remember the versions before 2025 ran significantly better as well and figured that the performance issues in the 2025 version would get patched with time but now with 2026 versions it has gotten so bad that its becoming almost unusable for digital painting.My computer is well above the recommended specs with a compatible GPU for photoshop and can run most AAA games at high specs with no problem and runs great when doing 3D modeling in blender but struggles with even tiny file sizes in photoshop. for example if i make a tiny 64x64 pixel canvas in photoshop 2026 and simply attempt to pan and zoom a blank canvas, my GPU and CPU show over 80% usage and i get what looks like less than 2FPS with screen tearing. When I attempt to draw or resize layer

The Adobe Firefly connector in Codex is repeatedly failing with:HTTP 403 Forbidden — “MCP streamable transport probe failed”Endpoint: https://photoshop-mcp-service.adobe.io/v3-creativity-b8f2a/mcpThe connector worked briefly and successfully generated images, but then began returning this error again. It occurs before Firefly receives the prompt, even when generating one image at a time. Disconnecting, reconnecting and restarting the app have not resolved it. Please investigate the connector’s authentication/transport authorization.

In Photoshop 27.9.1 the image preview in Export As looks like a chunky mess even at 100% and when the export image isn’t being scaled, as if it’s taking a smaller image texture and scaling it back up with a fast/nearest-neighbor type algorithm... it does not match the original image. This also makes it impossible to judge the Resample mode (Bicubic, Bilinear, etc) when you ARE scaling the image on export, because the preview has no relation to the actual resulting saved image.I downgraded back to 27.8.0 and it works fine again.Windows 11 25H2, nVidia 3080 Ti on drivers 610.88 (GRD)Here is a screenshot showing the document at 100% in Photoshop with the Export As window open below it. Hopefully this image gets attached untouched/unscaled (original is 2603x1347)This may or may not have something to do with being on a high-res monitor (3840x2160) in Windows with its interface scaling active (150% in my case) as I looked at PS 27.9.1 on a different machine on a standard res monitor with no

Environment: OS: Windows 11 64-bit CPU: Intel Core i7-14700K GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Photoshop Version: 27.10 Driver: NVIDIA Studio Driver Issue Description: Immediately after updating to Photoshop v27.10, severe UI and canvas rendering issues began occurring during normal editing. The symptoms include: Rapid flickering where UI elements and the canvas temporarily disappear and instantly reappear (no black or white flashes). When navigating menus (e.g., Preferences), the text briefly vanishes and comes back. While editing, the active photo disappears from the canvas and instantly reappears. The flickering happens extremely fast, rendering the application completely unusable for daily work. This issue is isolated to Photoshop and does not occur in other applications. Troubleshooting Steps Executed: Verified the monitor is connected directly to the NVIDIA GPU, bypassing the Intel iGPU. Forced High Performance GPU assignment for photoshop.exe via Windows 11 G

Hi when i make my image smaller it becomes blurry. I am sclaing my image down to 8.5 by 11.3 as you can see it gets blurry after i scale it down.

Hi,Expanding the image while using the Crop Tool (the color in this case, about a solid gray) using Content Aware Fill - makes wrong color, in my case after expanding a lighter frame at the previous image edge borders and a lighter gray color is used for the expanded areas. Is this a known bug? I’ve downgraded to 27.8, no issues there.Thank you,Patrik

Expected result: No message should appear when opening the EPS file. Actual result: Upon opening the file, the following message appears: 'This document contains Adobe Photoshop data that may be corrupted. Do you want to continue and ignore the Photoshop data?'

I am experiencing an issue with the Remove Tool in Photoshop.When Generative AI is enabled, the Remove Tool is extremely slow compared with before. In some cases, Photoshop also displays a message saying that there is no internet connection.I found a reproducible workaround:Open an image. Use the Remove Tool with Generative AI enabled. The processing is very slow. Make a selection in the same document. Run Generative Fill once with the prompt left blank. After Generative Fill completes, use the Remove Tool again. The Remove Tool returns to normal speed in that document.I tested this with two different files in a row, and the same behavior occurred in both files.Additional observations:The improvement only applies to the document where Generative Fill was run. Opening another file causes the Remove Tool to become slow again. Running Generative Fill once in that file restores normal Remove Tool speed. The Remove Tool is fast when Generative AI is disabled. Changing the Photoshop version

Photoshop version 26.9.0macOS Sequoia 15.6Issue 1: Text is getting clipped (cut off) inside smart objects, even though e.g. color fill layers don'tIssue 2: "New smart object via copy" doesn't work - new SO remains linked with the original one Neither of these issues happened to me before, appeared yesterday. For Issue 1 I found older forum threads on the internet, it's apparently not a new thing.Thank you in advance for fixing, have a nice one! 🙂Anna 

I have been with Photoshop since version 1 1990. I have to say this the WORST version that ever was released. Stop sending you IT to [cursing removed] we are getting [cursing removed]  as product.   Every time saving in EPS and trying to reopen the same file we get this message “This document contains Adobe Photoshop data which appears to be damaged.  Continue and ignore the Photoshop data?”  It doesn’t happen with any other file format saved.

Issue summary: When choosing Layer > New Background from Layer after cropping part of an image on a layer without ticking the Delete Cropped Pixels checkbox, the cropped pixels end up deleted.Product and version: Photoshop desktop version 20.0.10 and 21.2.11Operating system: macOS 12.7.6Steps to reproduce:Open an existing document with some layers. Select one of these layers, crop it without ticking the Delete Cropped Pixels checkbox. Under Layer, choose New Background from Layer. Select the crop tool and drag the edge handles of the crop border. Notice that cropped pixels have been deleted (sometimes only part of them).Expected result: Cropped pixels shouldn’t be deleted according to the setting of the crop tool. If this behaviour is intended, I’d suggest a notification before applying New Background from Layer to a layer. Actual result: Cropped pixels are deleted.

I’ve lost the "Apply" checkmark in the Photoshop options bar if I use the remove tool; instead, I now have a semicolon icon.Lost it in the PS version 27.10 and also in the Beta version 27.11To apply a remove I have to use the contextuel taskbar.I already reseted all tools and restarted the option bar.Is this how the option bar should look or is it a bug in my versions?Would apreciate some help with this

Hi, I am on Photoshop 27.10 but it’s a bug I have experienced in several previous versions, too. Yet I have used Photoshop for 20 years and didn’t notice it before the last year or so.The bug happens when I have several files opened at once and i switch between each of them (working a bit on one then clicking and working on one another, eyedropping/selecting one color from one file then using it to fill a selection in one another ect). Currently it happens when I have seven 600ppp CMYK files opened.When the files are opened, everything works fine for quite a long time, then the bug happens after 1 hour or so : when i switch from one file to another and i start working on any layer of it, suddenly I see that the file is lagging like hell : every action takes 1 second or more to be implemented (a brush stroke, a magic wand selection etc). I can’t work on the file anymore and have to shut it down.Then several things can happen : when the file is shut, i can still work normally on the othe

Watch the movie to see the tool begin to set up the rotation dialog, but then stops, displays a popup that one could infer means I’m out of credits. CC>view balance fails with message, “Unable to load selection - Retry.”
