Thanks for the excellent images put forward in our Halloween ‘Haunted’ challenge. Well done to everyone who took part.There is an old song which started ‘You need hands...’ So, this week we have a set of hands. These three tiny hands are from a wristwatch, and were photographed through a microscope. I am sure you will be able to think of a new use for them, and show us what that is. The “rules”:Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry. Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc. Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”. The challenge is not limited to Photoshop. Any Adobe software can be used. There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go! The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.To down
You asked, we listened, and we're excited to share that Quick Compare is now available in Adobe Photoshop on desktop.A lot of you wanted an easy way to see your edit next to where you started, without breaking your flow.

This amazed the heck out of me, so I have to share. My wife is President of a local Garden Club and asked me to help create a poster for an event. Because she has never used Generative AI, she was not encumbered with thoughts that limited what you might reasonably ask of it, so she gave me this completely (I thought) OTT prompt to paste in its entirety into the Prompt to Edit text field:Create a premium A4 Christmas Lunch invitation for the Awatere Garden Club. Surround the entire invitation with a lush, realistic floral border dominated by bright red New Zealand pōhutukawa flowers, silver fern fronds, kawakawa leaves, mānuka foliage, native greenery and a few hydrangeas and roses. The border should be abundant and elegant with no empty corners. Add subtle gardening elements at the bottom including a vintage watering can, garden trowel and gardening gloves. Centre panel in warm cream parchment with sophisticated typography in deep green and Christmas red. High-quality print-ready de
Ever wished you could completely change the mood of a photo without setting up lights or reshooting? With Relight in Photoshop, you can add dramatic, cinematic, or subtle lighting effects to an image using interactive on-canvas controls powered by generative AI.Relight detects the existing lighting in your image and intelligently builds on it, making it easy to create realistic results. You can add up to three custom light sources and adjust their position, color, intensity, and diffusion directly on the canvas. Whether you're creating a dramatic portrait, warming up a product shot, or adding depth to a scene, Relight gives you precise control over how light shapes your image. Heads up on creditsEach generation uses 30 generative credits, so plan your experiments before you dive into the creative fun! For details, read the Generative credits FAQ. Why you'll love itReshoot?

I have been a loyal Adobe Photoshop user for years, and I have recommended the program to countless others. I've always considered Photoshop one of the best tools available for photo editing and creative work. However, with the latest Photoshop 2027 upgrade, I'm seriously questioning whether I want to continue paying for my subscription.My biggest frustration is Adobe's generative credit system. The idea that customers have to use credits every time they generate or modify an AI image is frustrating enough, but what really bothers me is that credits can be consumed even when Adobe's AI fails to follow clear, specific instructions!Why should I have to use more credits to correct mistakes made by Adobe's own AI? If I give clear instructions and the result is wrong, I shouldn't be penalized for trying to get what I originally requested. That's not improving the customer experience — that's making customers pay for the software's shortcomings.What makes this even more ridiculous is that pr
Hi! My illustrations look good on my computer but become low quality once they are on an iPhone. Any suggestions?
Camera Raw 19 : « Ouvrir » crée un canal alpha dans Photoshop (comportement identique à « Ouvrir avec des masques »)Je viens d’installer la version Photoshop 2027 28.0.0 avec Camera Raw 19.0.0.2794.

Title: Photoshop 2027 on macOS: Relight fails to calculate the initial previewIssue: Relight cannot start because Photoshop fails to calculate the initial lighting preview.Steps to reproduce: Open an image. Select an unlocked pixel layer. Choose Layer > New Relight Layer. Expected result: Relight starts and displays its low-resolution preview.Actual result: Photoshop starts preparing the lighting preview, then shows this error and closes the Relight session:“Error al iniciar una sesión de Recuperación de iluminación porque se ha producido un error al calcular una vista previa inicial.”I also reproduced the same error on a duplicate of the document with the pixel layer unlocked. Creative Cloud says Photoshop is up to date.Environment: Adobe Photoshop 2027 on macOS.

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

Updated to Version 28.0The Move Tool is not selecting layers whenever I drag over them.Everything is set to how it should be and it worked just fine for me last week.
Environment:- Mac mini M2 Pro, macOS 27.2.2- Photoshop 2027- iPad Pro 11-inch (4th gen) used as a Sidecar display, with Apple Pencil- Trackpad as the Mac's pointing deviceSteps to reproduce:1. Place a Photoshop document window on the Sidecar iPad display.2. Select the Brush tool and paint (e.g., filling areas) with Apple Pencil.3. After a while, the brush preset picker (Diameter / Hardness / brush list) opens by itself.Actual result:After the picker opens, Photoshop accepts keyboard input only. The cursor still moves, but clicks from both the trackpad and Apple Pencil are ignored. Photoshop is not frozen: I can save (Cmd+S) and quit (Cmd+Q) with the keyboard.Expected result:The brush picker should not open unless I request it, and clicks should keep working.What I tried (no effect):Esc, Cmd+Tab to another app and back, physical trackpad click and two-finger click, tapping the iPad with Apple Pencil and finger, disconnecting and reconnecting Sidecar.Workaround:Save with Cmd+S, quit with
Hi everyone, Newbie here. Not sure why the last post didn’t go through, so I’ll have to post again. I’ve been studying other people’s work, but couldn’t figure out why their grids have those inner shadows or glows that looks nothing like my grids. Definitely have tried the options inside the Layer Style Panel, not sure what’s wrong. Thanks for reading!
Hi all, I am preparing a photo in Photoshop for print and I want to double-check the maths before I export it. The image is 3000 pixels wide and 2000 pixels high, and the printer has asked for 300 ppi. The calculation is: width in inches = pixels ÷ ppi, so 3000 ÷ 300 = 10 inches. Height = 2000 ÷ 300 = 6.67 inches, about 6⅔ inches. So at 300 ppi the file prints at 10 × 6.67 inches without resampling. If I set the document to 150 ppi instead, the same pixels would cover 20 × 13.33 inches, but with fewer pixels per inch. I used the Pixels to Inches Converter at https://calcfolks.com/pixels-to-inches/ to check both figures. Does that match how you set print size in Image Size in Photoshop?
When opening photoshop since the newest update I am getting an error message for my actions saying that they cannot be loaded due to an end of error. So then I have to do the work around and pull my actions from my previous 2025 roaming files on my computer. This same issue was happening the update before the last one as well and then it was fixed in the update between this newest one and that past one. It’s really inconvenient to have to go through all of those files and to recreate actions that I keep losing because I did not have them in 2025. This is an ongoing issue with new updates and going into our busy season for photography it is not helping at all.
I am in latest version of Photoshop 2027, and encountered a very frustrating bug, in something as simple as a basic as cropping with content aware fill. It was happening since prior version, but it is worst now in latest and greatest Photoshop 2027, the crash is a lot more frequent. When I try to crop with content aware, I get the popup as in the included screen capture and the only thing I can do is open Terminal in my Mac and force kill Photoshop. As a professional photographer I cant even describe how disruptive this bug is, and now wit the frequency of it happening, I decided to take the time to report it from my very limited time. I am on a Mac Studio M4 with 64 GB RAM, and loaded with all bells and whistles, never had the issue before the last 2 versions of Phtoshop. PLease assist with ppotencoal fixes and please fix this very annoying bug *Moved from Stock to Photoshop by a moderator.
In 27.x, pressing Enter with the Lasso tool active highlighted the Feather field in the options bar. In 28.0 nothing happens. Enter still works correctly for Brush Opacity, so keyboard and focus are fine. Reset Tool and [Marquee/Polygonal Lasso result] tested. Regression since the 28.0 update. This is a core workflow shortcut. [macOS version 26.6.2.]
for the application do not work; only the (x) button functions. This has been an issue for about three versions of Photoshop for Mac—we hope this annoying problem gets resolved.
I’ve just updated Photoshop to v2027. When I stitch a panorama in Camera Raw and save it as a TIFF file it shows in Windows properties as being 64bit. I didn’t know that was possible! In the Image Menu it’s ticked as 16bit. If I select 8bit then try to save a JPEG there’s only a few options in the save list rather than the usual long list, and the nearest is Jpeg2000. Single frames saved as 16bit TIFFS can be changed to 8bit and saved as Jpegs without any problem.What on Earth has happened? Is it thinking it’s some sort of HDR file? A couple of times when I’ve tried to change the bit depth it’s opened the tone mapping window and the image turns really bright. I’m using Windows 11. Thanks everyone, Graham.
