Turn creative ideas into editable image transformations using AI. With Prompt to edit, you can describe changes using natural language and generate image-wide edits in seconds. Use Markup and Marks to guide the AI toward specific areas of an image, add instructions, or indicate where new elements should appear. How This Workflow Works Start by generating an image edit using a text prompt. If needed, use markup tools to indicate specific areas and describe the changes you want. Step-by-Step Guide 1. Open an image Select File > Open and choose the image you want to edit. 2. Generate an edit with Prompt to edit Select a pixel layer or generative layer containing the image. If you're working with a generative layer, make sure the entire image is selected. Select Prompt to edit from the Contextual Task Bar, or choose Edit > Prompt to Edit. Enter a prompt describing the changes you'd like to make across the image. Sample prompts: Change the lighting to a warm sunset tone. Improve
Thanks to everyone who submitted an image to our previous ‘Move Closer’ challenge. This week we start with a straight razor, a popular shaving tool until the safety razor came out although some still use the straight razor today. What will you make from this object? Will you incorporate it in a scene or make something completely new from it? Please add a few words with your image describing how you went about it, it may help others and it is always good to see alternative approaches. 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

What’s NewPhotoshop 27.10 introduces powerful new ways to edit and create with AI while giving you more control over your workflow. You can now fine-tune image lighting non-destructively with the new Light adjustment layer, making it easier to adjust exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, and more without permanently changing your original image.This release also brings the AI Assisted editor (Beta) directly into Photoshop, giving you access to Firefly-powered creative tools from within your editing workflow. New AI capabilities include Prompt to Edit, which lets you make image changes using natural language, and Markup, which enables you to guide AI generation and editing with visual annotations. For more precise AI-powered editing, you can now use masks and selections to control exactly where generative edits are applied. Text workflows are also improved with Dynamic Text for shapes and paths, allowing text to reflow and resize as you adjust shapes and paths automatically. Addition
You asked, we listened, and we're excited to share that one of the community's long-standing feature request is now available in Photoshop 27.10. For years, many of you have asked for more control over the file formats shown in the Save As and Save a Copy dialogs, including the ability to hide formats you don't use and create a cleaner, more streamlined saving experience. Today, we're happy to say: it's here! What's new? You can now customize the file formats displayed in the Save As and Save a Copy dialogs. Simply go to: Edit > Customize Save Dialog File Formats From there, you can: Enable or disable file formats Move formats you don't need to the Disabled File Formats column Restore the default list at any time Whether you're a photographer who primarily exports JPEGs and TIFFs, or a designer working mostly with PSDs and PNGs, you can now tailor the save experience to match your workflow. Why you'll love it No more scrolling through long lists of formats you never use. Thi

To better explain the situation, I will attach a screenshot. This is rather annoying and I don’t know how to move the small tiles out of the main workspace. There at the right side.
Hello, I an on-the-go type, not at my desk very often. I mostly use the PS app on my iPad whenever my needs are simple. Today suddenly the left-hand toolbar is gone. Which severely limits my usage! It looks like there has been an update. Maybe that has caused this? How can I get the toolbar back?? TY

Why is it that when I record an action,I hold Shift and click C, B, A, and Layer 1 to merge the layers into D,but when I run the action, it always gets stuck with an error at Layer 1?When I record it again, it puts my layer order into a group. What operations should I avoid?
After moving the zero point to a different place, Photoshop continues to create a New Guide as if the zero point had not changed. Why?
It's great to see that AVIF support is coming to Photoshop! There is another modern file format which would be very helpful to have in Photoshop: JPEG XL (ie "JXL" file extension). While it currently lacks the high degree of browser support offered by AVIF, it otherwise offers many benefits over AVIF which are useful for a variety of uses:JXL supports up to 32-bit depth (vs maximum 12 for AVIF). This makes it much more suitable for an image which is intended to undergo further editing.JXL offers effectively unlimited pixel dimensions, while AVIF has significant constraints for full resolution images (tiling can expand these limits, but with some risks at the edges and I've seen some tiled AVIF images open up as if they were 13 different photos).This makes JXL a much more attractive file format for sending images to a print lab than AVIF, JPG, or TIF. It offers very high quality/resolution in a very small file. Assuming browser support grows, JXL would also offer these additio
Since today’s Photoshop 27.10 update, the “Edit in Photoshop” command in Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 is not working anymore for me. Photoshop opens automatically as before (if it’s not open yet) but no image is being loaded. Downgrading Photoshop to 27.9.1 resolves the issue and the “Edit in Photoshop” functionality is back to normal. I also tried to change the external editing file format from TIFF to PSD or PSB but this didn’t make any difference. Anyone else facing the same issue? I’m running macOS Tahoe 26.6.2. Closing and re-opening LRC and PS didn’t solve the problem, rebooting the machine also didn’t show any effect. P.S.: I posted this in the Photoshop forum as well
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.
Is Photoshop Generative AI getting worse, or am I just noticing it?I've been using Photoshop Generative Fill for quite a while, and recently I've noticed a significant drop in the quality of the results.The biggest issue for me is texture and detail. Results that previously matched the original image quite well are now often soft, blurry, or lacking the original texture. This is particularly noticeable when working with fabrics, rugs, surfaces and other detailed photographic material.I've tested different models, including Firefly 1 and the newer models, and I'm seeing similar problems. I've also tried different prompts and selections, so I'm wondering whether something has changed on Adobe's side rather than it being an issue with my particular workflow.I'm currently using Photoshop 27.10.Has anyone else noticed a decline in Generative Fill quality recently, particularly with texture/detail preservation? Or is there a known change to the models or generation system?I'd be interested t
Hello everyone, I have Photoshop version 27.10 with the new actions panel. I have created two actions and bundled them into a master action to run together.The last action is to save the file in its current location as a tiff file (default save type) but would like to turn off the two dialogue boxes that come up showing the location and file type options and then the Tiff file options. Any ideas on this? All googling has resulted in the outdated versions of PS

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
I have several M1 Macs—from Mac mini to iMac—and they all have the same issue. Whenever I open Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign, even if I don’t do anything, WindowServer will jump to around 80–90% GPU usage. Once I start working with files, even just opening a single image, the whole system becomes choppy and starts dropping frames, with GPU usage almost maxed out.But : if I switch the app to full-screen with menu bar mode (press F), the window shadows disappear, GPU usage drops back to normal, and everything runs smoothly—even with large files open. This makes it pretty clear the issue is related to how window shadows are being handled in macOS 26 and how it interacts with Adobe apps.It’s been months since Adobe 26 came out, and I’ve been waiting for updates to fix this, but even the latest versions still haven’t solved it. At this point, I’m wondering if it’s even fixable.M1 Macs are not that old—most Mac minis and iMacs from around 2021–2022 are still M1, so they’re definitely n

De nieuwste versies van Camera Raw kunnen niet samenwerken met mijn NVidia Geforce RTX360 gratische kaart, waarvan ik de nieuwste drivers (sept 2026) heb geïnstalleerd. ACR opent niet als ik een raw-foto in Photshop open. Ik krijg de melding dat de CPU-versnelling niet werkt. Binnen Photoshop staat alles wel goed aangevinkt. Als ik terug ga naar Camera Raw 18.0 werkt alles weer naar behoren.Al eerder heb ik via de chat een Engelstalige medewerker hierover aangesproken. Deze heeft het beheer van mijn PC zelfs overgenomen en is er twee uur mee aan het werk geweest. Hij kreeg het niet opgelost en zou het aan de ontwikkelaars van RAW doorgeven. Inmiddels is Camera Raw alweer twee versies verder en is het probleem nog steeds niet opgelost. Adobe Creative Cloud installeert elke keer de nieuwe versie, maar die moet ik dan weer overschrijven met Camera Raw 18.0.graag hoor ik wat Adobe hier nu aan gaat doen.groetHenk
