Help me pls or the only solution I see is to reset my Mac.Thanks you in advance!!!

 After 27.8.2026 updates I face randomly several errors in Photoshop, Camera Raw and Lightroom. Freesing, closing, not exporting, memory issues. Anyone else? All those worked perfectly till the update. In Task Manager everything looks like before.

I’m just editing the artboard normally, but the colors keep changing on their own.This happened after I updated to the new version 27.10.0.For the full details, please watch the attached video.

Cannot post questions to the photoshop community

Today’s update to Photoshop V27.10 still leaves the On Device remove tool unusable on Windows 11 with an RTX 5080 with 16GB VRAM and using the latest driver. Version 29.0 worked perfectly and quickly months ago, but since updating to the current version, the tool fails. It stalls for minutes, forcing the CPU to handle object removal instead of using the GPU. Subsequent removals have the same long delays. Happens on both my workstation and laptop (RTX 4090) Switching to Cloud-based processing works, but what happens when using Photoshop somewhere without Wi-Fi or hotspot access?  The same issue applies to the current Beta version to which I have reinstalled Beta 29.0 on my laptop to be able to use the On Device remove tool in isolated signal areas.

I’m having trouble moving the mask to the original photo it’s supposed to be on. I’m using my iPhone and I have two layers: the original photo and the edited photo I used to create the mask. I need to move the mask from the edited photo layer to the original photo layer so I can mask the original instead. I’ve done it before, but I can’t remember how I did it.

Trying to export edited files in LRC to Photoshop using ‘edit in’ files aren’t exporting, unedited files are.

I have an older permanent license for Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium and for Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium.  I have moved both of these products to a new Windows computer.  I know the software is old, but it does what I need, and I don’t use it often enough to justify the cost of new versions.  After dealing with a driver issues that caused crashes, I managed to get the software installed on Windows 11 25H2, and it seems to work fine.   The problem is that the activation does not work because Adobe long ago discontinued the activation servers.   I keep getting a message that I have too many activations already, even though I deactivated those on my older computers.  I recall this happened to me about 5 years ago when I moved the software to a different computer.  Adobe support did something (I don’t recall what) that cleared up the issue.  Today, however, Adobe support told me they are not  trained at all on the older software, so I need to go to this forum for an

i am used to a tick to the right of the crop tool options bar - its comforting - i know i can press enter but…...help please...

Thanks to all who took part in our last, ‘Holy Island’, challenge. There were some great entries that showed the imagination and skill of this community.The regulars in these challenges will know that sometimes we start with a scene and sometimes an object. This week we have two starter images, the first with a magnifying glass and a paper. The second is the same magnifying glass but with a transparent background. You can use either, or both, to start your entry. The scene was created and rendered in Blender 3D with Adobe Substance 3D Designer and Adobe Substance 3D Painter used for textures.How imaginative can you get with this simple scene, or object?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 Pho

In the latest version of PS, when I copy and paste layers or content, PS seems to paste the content out of it’s original position instead of perfectly matching where it was copied from.Please fix this, it makes no sense to have it moved as default.

In Photoshop 27.9.1 the image preview in Export As looks like a chunky mess even at 100% and when the export image isn’t being scaled, as if it’s taking a smaller image texture and scaling it back up with a fast/nearest-neighbor type algorithm... it does not match the original image. This also makes it impossible to judge the Resample mode (Bicubic, Bilinear, etc) when you ARE scaling the image on export, because the preview has no relation to the actual resulting saved image.I downgraded back to 27.8.0 and it works fine again.Windows 11 25H2, nVidia 3080 Ti on drivers 610.88 (GRD)Here is a screenshot showing the document at 100% in Photoshop with the Export As window open below it. Hopefully this image gets attached untouched/unscaled (original is 2603x1347)This may or may not have something to do with being on a high-res monitor (3840x2160) in Windows with its interface scaling active (150% in my case) as I looked at PS 27.9.1 on a different machine on a standard res monitor with no

Can someone tell me if this item will be back one day? Because I can't dowload it

I would like to know how to disable or hide the "AI Assisted" and "Pro Editor" mode switch button (shown in the attached screenshot) from the workspace/header.I prefer a clean workspace without these AI feature toggles. Is there a preference setting to turn off this UI element? 

This is a bit complicated. Sorry.I have been using Photoshop 2025 on current Mac OS. A while ago, CC apparently installed Photoshop 2026 (it is in my applications folder) but launching Photoshop has continued to launch 2025. Further, CC (yes, I’ve logged out and back in and restarted the computer) shows that Photoshop is NOT installed at all.  In Photoshop 2025 if I go to Help → Updates I see no option to update my installed copy of Photoshop 2025 or switch to the installed copy of Photoshop 2026… and under the “Apps” page in CC, while Lightroom and Lightroom Classic show as installed (I see the “Open” buttons), next to Photoshop I see “Install.”)While I can manually launch the installed Photoshop 2026 application, it does not have access to any of my workspace or preferences from 2025. Using the “click the 3 dots in the CC Photoshop square to check for other versions” doesn’t work either, since CC seems to be unaware that Photoshop is even installed on my computer. Again, sorry for th

recently had a new hard drive added to my computer. Unfortuntely I lost my Adobe Photoshop CS6 program. I want to reinstall it on my computer and need the full serial number. Adobe is supplying the serial number less the last four numbers. I need these numbers to  do the reinstall. I am told that these numbers are hidden somewhere. Anyone who knows how to find them please share the answer with me. 

Hello,I am facing an issue in Photoshop when trying to remove the background of a photograph. Whenever I click the Remove Background button, an error message appears: “Couldn’t find background to remove.”I have tried restarting Photoshop and resetting preferences, but the error still persists. This happens even with images that have a clear subject and background.Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a recommended solution or workaround?Thank you in advance for your help.Best regards,

I’m experiencing this error message “Die Pipette konnte nicht verwendet werden, weil ein Programmfehler aufgetreten ist (f376f9.752).” in PS 27.10.0 (on an M2 MacBookPro) when trying to set more than one reference point in the curves adjustment panel. If I try it in the general adjustment setting I can click the message away, but when I use a curves adjustment layer Photoshop goes crazy and I have to force quit the application.
