Photoshop

This is the third time in 3 months that I have had to reinstall photoshop because it would not open. All my presets and actions are long gone. How to I keep it from happening again and can I get my presets and actions back. I use the computer, I am not a computer person. Simple instructions please.Thank you

My father recently passed away. He was known here as JJMack. This community was a big part of his life. After retiring from IBM, this is where he would spend a great deal of his time trying to help people as best he could. His strength was figuring out how things work, communication was not.  Despite this, he was able to amass 38,147 Posts, 9206 Likes, and most importantly 3437 solutions.  I'm sure his posts will live on and continue to help people. I work with Photoshop professionally myself and occasionally will research a problem I am having only to find a solution posted here by my father. In the future it will be bitter sweet when this happens again. Goodbye, world.

I do have adobe CS5 I want to install in my computer I just want to know if is possible 

I got a ACE for Photoshop 5.5 back in the 2000s. Took the test through Pearsons in Denver and did pass. I have been using the ACE logo on my website and resumes but I am appling for an adjunct teaching postion at a private university and they would like to see some documation for this and for my Adobe Digital instuctor award too. Does Adobe keep any records for these?

Photoshop 2026 will not open.  It starts to boot but then just disappears/crashes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.  I have tried starting and holding ctrl/alt/shift.  I have tried closing all the adobe related programs in Task Manager.  This is infuriating while trying to work with clients.   Can anybody shine any light on this for me?

In the latest Camera Raw update, it stopped accessing graphics acceleration, and I can't activate it.My setup:Windows 11NVidia RTX 5070 Ti 16 GBI've tried absolutely everything: cleaning the card driver and reinstalling it, adding .old to the folders, resetting the graphics card, etc., and finally contacting Adobe technical support... who started by saying that the card was "old" and not suitable for Camera Raw... Adobe, if that's the case, please indicate it on your website, because supposedly my card is suitable (and if it isn't, few people will be able to continue using Adobe products). Lightroom handles everything without a problem, and the other programs that require GPU resources do too (Da Vinci, Topaz, etc.). After saying this, the card is suitable; the problem is with Windows. I honestly don't think so; it seems like a bug in Camera Raw. That's the only thing that has problems. I don't know, maybe it's a credentials issue or something.I'm mentioning this because I think it's a

When I'm working on a large batch of images, after a few images, the pen tool path starts to disappear, especially when I'm zoomed in. Restarting my computer and restarting photoshop doesn't fix the glitch. Not every file as the issue, but once a file has the issue, I can't fix it unless I create a new file and copy and paste the image into it. I started doing work paths on most of the remaining images and waiting until I was completely done to "create new path", but I noticed that when I did "create new path" first, the issue would happen instantly. I can sort of work around it by trying to create a path while zoomed out, but that makes it difficult for me to be accurate when tracing the area I'm trying to isolate. I have a 2022 mac that's up to date, plenty of storage and ram and an m1 chip, so there shouldn't be any issues with the software. I first noticed this issue several years ago, I would say at least 2020. 

Hello,I have encountered what appears to be a GPU-related rendering bug when converting RGB images to CMYK in Photoshop.SystemPhotoshop 27.8 macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 Mac Studio M2 Ultra Apple Silicon GPUProblemWhenever GPU acceleration is enabled, converting an RGB image to CMYK produces severe black rendering artifacts across the image. The artifacts appear immediately after the color conversion and make the document unusable.The issue occurs with multiple images and is fully reproducible on my system.Steps to ReproduceOpen an RGB image. Make sure Use Graphics Processor is enabled under Preferences > Performance. Convert the document to CMYK (either Image > Mode > CMYK Color or Edit > Convert to Profile). Large black artifacts appear throughout the image.Expected ResultThe RGB image should convert normally to CMYK without any visual corruption.Actual ResultThe converted image contains large black rendering artifacts that were not present in the original RGB document.WorkaroundDi

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

# Generative Remove runs on the CPU instead of the GPU since version 27.9.1**Issue summary**Since updating to Photoshop 27.9.1, the Remove tool in Generative mode loads about 6 GB of data into the graphics card memory, then performs the actual work on the processor instead of the graphics card.

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?

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.

Estou enfrentando problemas recorrentes ao utilizar a ferramenta IA Generativa no Photoshop.Ao abrir o Photoshop, os ícones da ferramenta de seleção muitas vezes não aparecem. Quando consigo fazer uma seleção e clico em "Preenchimento Generativo", frequentemente é exibida a seguinte mensagem de erro:"Não foi possível atualizar os arquivos de objeto inteligentes devido a um erro no programa (b46572.222)."Em outras ocasiões, em vez de exibir essa mensagem, a ferramenta gera apenas um fundo preto, sem realizar o preenchimento da imagem.Esse problema ocorre há mais de seis meses. Como a ferramenta ainda funcionava ocasionalmente, nunca abri um chamado de suporte. No entanto, a situação piorou significativamente.Atualmente, preciso fechar e reabrir o Photoshop diversas vezes até que a IA Generativa volte a funcionar. Além disso, após algumas horas de uso contínuo, o problema retorna, obrigando-me a repetir todo esse processo novamente.Gostaria de ressaltar que estou utilizando a versão mais

Estou com um bug no Photoshop relacionado às pranchetas. Ao criar, duplicar ou editar pranchetas, passam a aparecer áreas brancas/transparente fora delas, como se o canvas estivesse sendo exibido/renderizado de forma incorreta. Antes isso não acontecia no mesmo arquivo e fluxo de trabalho. Já testei reinstalação, reset de preferências, atualização do Photoshop e do macOS, e o problema continua, sem mensagem de erro.
