Photoshop

Good afternoon, I’ve been experiencing some issues trying to save my ‘Layer Style’ into my Creative Cloud System. Whenever I try to create a new Layer Style, I receive this message:  I’ve tried to fix this by following various methods I found here, or even on Youtube. But none of these methods seemed to work. These styles keep saving on my computer, and if I open the same document the style remains. However, I am afraid of ever closing or deleting a specific document in fear of losing this style. For reference, I have a Windows Computer, and all my adobe apps are currently updated. I’ve also already switched from ‘read-only’ to ‘read-write’ as far as I am aware, but for some reason it still doesn’t work.I’ve legit have no clue what I can do. Is there anyone that can help me fix this on my Photoshop? 

Images are opened for editing directly from bridge. then editied in Photoshop. Once a an image is open in Photoshop, the application freezes . There is no notice that it is not responding.

attempting to use art history brush.  When I pick a particular brush style, it converts the tool to the smug tool.

I have been having this problem for a few months. I am using Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1 and Photoshop 2023 or Lightroom Classic. I have long used presets but now, after I save one, when I come back to it the next time, the saved preset does not retain any of the settings. I tried uninstalling Photoshop 2023, rebooting, then re-install Photoshop 2023. The presets still don't retain settings. I've also tried deleting my P5000 printer from the system settings, and then re-installing my Epson driver. Again, doesn't fix the problem. I also tried printing from Safari and made a preset in Safari and this one does work as it is supposed to. If I then switch back to Photoshop, the preset created while in Safari works properly in Photoshop. I tried one more time to create a preset while in Photoshop, but it still will not work.

I use a general hard brush to draw and for the eraser I use a general hard brush as well. After some time the brush switches automatically to the eraser tool. I press "b" to switch back to the brush. As soon as my pen touches the Cintiq 22 inch it switches back to the eraser. I switch to another brush and the problem remains. If I save and restart PS the problem is gone. But it eventually comes back ...  Mac OS 12.6PS 2023 24.0.0

Photoshop suddenly began displaying Lightroom images incorrectly until toggling Proof Colors (Command+Y). Around the same time, I had an action I used regularly to produce a sun flare, and all of the sudden the Gradient Fill colors no longer match the same HEX/RGB values used previously. Existing TIFFs when the colors were applying correctly and exported back to lightroom display correctly when opened in photoshop again, but newly created gradients appear less saturated despite identical RGB values. Photoshop preferences have been reset, i've uninstalled and reinstalled, and the issue persists.

I tried opening Photoshop this morning but I kept getting a message that it cannot open. I went to my Creative Cloud and it said Photoshop was not installed. It directed me to use Photoshop on the web browser. I downloaded the DMG file and opened it (working on a MAC) and it now works but ALL my Actions, Presets and Brushes from years of collection are gone. How do I get them back?

Googling has not helped and, while there is one post in the Adobe Community that presents EXACTLY my same issue, there was no assistance provided (link: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/adobe-crash-processor-exe-doesn-t-stop-after-i-exit-photoshop-and-it-locks-up-my-files-and-or-folder/m-p/14306961) Every time I close Photoshop, I am unable to move or delete the file that I just closed. When I run PowerToys' File Locksmith, I can see the file is locked by Adobe Crash Processor.EXE. I end the Adobe Crash Processor.EXE process and my file is unlocked and can be manipulated. This happens EVERY time I close photoshop, even after ensuring I am updated to the most recent version. Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

J’ai constaté depuis hier que lorsque je fais un réglage du rayon dans Tons foncés, si je souhaite modifier un réglage dans tons clairs, ou plus bas un des autres paramètres disponibles, mon réglage rayon de tons foncés se remet systématiquement à 0.Ce qui n’était pas le cas auparavant.Quelqu’un d’autre a-t’il constaté le même problème? 

Hello Adobe Community and experts,I’ve recently encountered a severe and puzzling issue with text rendering and export in Photoshop 2025 and 2026, which was not present before.Text becomes noticeably blurry and pixelated, both in the preview window and in the final exported/saved files (Export/Save As). This occurs regardless of the document’s resolution being set to 300 PPI or 72 PPI.The most peculiar aspect is the difference in behavior based on document units:Documents created with Centimeters (CM) as the unit (e.g., from Print presets) exhibit perfectly clear and sharp text. However, documents created with Pixels (PX) as the unit suffer from this text blurriness and pixelation.This issue started occurring only very recently (within the last few days) and was not an issue with previously created pixel-based files in the same Photoshop versions.Troubleshooting Steps Attempted (That Did Not Resolve the Issue):I have already tried several common troubleshooting steps without success:Ch

When editing an adjustment applied to a Smart Object as a Smart Filter, such as Hue/Saturation or Curves, the canvas does not update continuously while dragging a slider or adjustment control.Instead, the Smart Object temporarily displays its original, unfiltered appearance while the mouse button is held down. The adjusted result appears only after the mouse button is released.This makes it difficult to evaluate small or incremental changes because the adjustment can’t be previewed in real time.Steps to reproduceOpen an image in Photoshop. Convert the image layer to a Smart Object. Apply an adjustment through Image > Adjustments, such as Hue/Saturation or Curves. Double-click the adjustment beneath the Smart Object to reopen the Smart Filter controls. Confirm that Preview is enabled. Click and drag one of the adjustment sliders without releasing the mouse button.Expected resultThe canvas should continuously redraw and display the Smart Filter result as the slider or adjustment value

Using Save As Photoshop PDF, I was able to save PDFs above 50,000 pixels wide yesterday using 27.8.After updating to 27.9.1 this morning I could no longer save a Photoshop PDF above approximately30,000 pixels wide  (Photoshop PDF was no longer an option in the dropdown). After reverting back to 27.8 I can now save PDFs from files over 50,000 pixels wide again.

I have been using the remove tool for general clean up for months now. But since the update for PS CC 2026 it is borderline unusuable. I haven’t read much about it on here, so I though I’d ask if this is an actual but or a simple case of “ens***ification. Ever since the 2026 update I can no longer replace details in snow or sand textures for example because the resulting textures either rendered by the AI or in Photoshop itself do no longer look like the neighbouring textures but patchy, blurry and simply unusable. It doesn’t matter whether I set AI to auto, on or off. Results look like from 2010’s patch tool basically, neither texture, nor color or luminosity match the general area. On top of that for about two months now the tool has become incredibly slow for whatever reason and since I do have a 300mbit fiber conection I doubt it is the internet needed for the transfer of the image data as has been hinted at here on the forums recently.I then tried to simply mark the areas I would

I’ve reported this already in “Bug Reports” and my post was deleted with no resolution and no communication. I’ve reposted there and now looking for help here!When “opening as layers in photoshop” the images are very slow to load in PS 27.8 vs. 27.7. This problem is confirmed by several other users I know. What used to take 11 seconds now takes 17 seconds. There’s a new behavior where each of the layers “flashes” up on screen for a split second before the loading actually starts and it takes significantly longer than it used. Downgrading to 27.7 restores correct (fast) functionality. Why would my bug report get deleted and if there’s a bug then, how are we supposed to report it so that Adobe will address it? Thanks

I use a psd file on a transparent background wor watermarking. I layer this onto the photograph - right click the psd layer and select blending options - that has always then allowed me to control not only the opacity, but the volume / depth of that watermark. I ran a batch process yesterday where it did about 800 of these without error. The next time I went to do one - manually now, blending options would not respond so far as ant of the depth commands would go. All it would do was allow the layer to be flat - it would no longer create that illusion of being embosssed. etc. Nothing has changed to the best of my knowledge and I have assures that nothing is set on 32 bit, no opacity is set to 0, I have no idea why that function has suddenly come up lame. I have reset the styles in that menu, restarted the program, restarted the computer, but cannot get blending options to - Bevel and Emboss. Any ideas or thoughts ?  Windows 10 / CS6 / everything the same so far as I know. Wored successf

Since updating to 27.5 yesterday I’m encountering a bug where when I switch between channels of a Curves adjustment layer the active point is deselected. This breaks flow and slows down the process of getting the color right, which for me typically involves bouncing back and forth between 2 or all 3 color channels (working in RGB) and making one or two point adjustments with the arrow keys.  To reproduce:Make a new Curves layer Add a point somewhere in the middle of each of the R, G, and B channels.  Press Opt + 3, 4, or 5 to switch between the channels.  Prior behavior: you would still have selected and active the same, nth point on the curve. So, if you were on the Red channel and had tweaked a point in the middle, then switched to Blue which you hadn’t touched yet, you’d have the 255,255 point active since it was the second point on the curve. Once all three channels had a point though, switching between them would keep the midpoint selected for tweaking with the arrow keys. Current

I’m on Photoshop v27.8.0 and Windows 11. Expanding does not reveal the ‘l’.Screen resolution in my case is 1440p if that could be an issue.
