Question

Photoshop wont work right on my computer

I'm a graphic design student and began using Photoshop for my classes about a month ago. I had had an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription to use Illustrator for my classes last year, and I thought everything was fine until I noticed that images I'd paste in Photoshop wouldn't change when I tried to mess with their blending modes, and sometimes wouldn't change when I tried other adjustments as well.

Just today I found out that my school is now offering Creative Cloud for free to students, so I called to cancel and deleted and redownloaded Photoshop with my new account hoping it would fix the problems I was having. It forced me to download the trial version for some reason and now any images I place in the document are cut off after the edges of the canvas, and while I can move objects with the selection tool, it wont allow me to resize them at all. Auto-select is checked and I've tried hitting "reveal all" but since I'm trying to work with a specific sized document and that resizes it it's useless. The previous problems with the blending modes and adjustments are still present as well. None of these issues occur when I save a file and upload it onto a classroom computer.

Please help, I'm late on turning in multiple assignments because I cannot do what I'm supposed to. Is there any way to fix this? Why do Illustrator and InDesign work perfectly on my computer but Photoshop is glitchy? Thank you.

    There is no differences between a trial version and an subscription version.  If your Adobe account has a subscription you trial version show activate when you sign into the Creative cloud desktop application with your Adobe account that has your subscription.  I can not follow what your  problems are.  Pleas read these from the site guidelinge snd supply better information and descriptions of your problems.
