How do I write a bug report?

When logging a new bug report, it's helpful to the Photoshop team when the information in the report includes steps describing how they can reproduce the bug experience. Once we can reproduce an issue, then we can start to investigate a fix. 

 

Note: If after a bit of troubleshooting we find that the bug report is in-fact not a product bug, the bug report may be moved out of Bugs and over to Discussions.

Use the template below as a guide for posting the most meaningful bug reports for the team.

 

Bug report template:

Issue

  • Photoshop version
  • OS


Steps to reproduce:

  1. ...
  2. ...
  3. ...

 

Expected result
Actual result

 

 

 

Anatomy of a great bug report:

 

Issue: Provide a succinct one-line issue statement
(i.e. Photoshop does X when using a tool or plugin)

Provide Photoshop version: Help>System Info>Copy the top line with Photoshop version
Provide OS and version: macOS 12.2

Issue: Provide good steps to reproduce the behavior:
Step 1 to reproduce the issue (i.e. open a new CMYK document)
Step 2 to reproduce the issue (i.e. add layer or use tool)
Step 3 to reproduce the issue (i.e another needed step)


Expected result: Photoshop should do Y
Actual result: Photoshop does X

* Optional, but useful: Upload a Test file (can be shared through CC files or other third-party storage), screenshot, video or gif file capturing the issue

Your ecosystem is NOW all about the sales and ‘community and handy tips on your products’. 

I want to report a problem and I can’t find anyway to do it.

If you expect me to keep paying for your product sharpen up, AI doesnt cut it if it can’t help!! 

Problem: The Shape tool is flakey [removed], MAC  15.7.4 do something and make it easier to report problems!!!!

@Michael349753069muw Click on the community for the application where you want to make a report e.g. Photoshop. Then click at the top right of your browser window to ‘Create a post’. You will see the option to report a bug. Type a title and you will see some suggestions which may match, if none do then carry on and create a new post ensuring you include the info advised by Pete above.
