My screen in Photoshop keeps flickering darker

I’ve been having this problem for over a month now. Whenever I’m editing in Photoshop, the screen will randomly turn dark (see attached photos). It will last for a little bit and then the screen will return to normal, but then continue the cycle. I’m not sure what would be causing this. It is only happening in Photoshop, I also use Lightroom and don’t have this issue. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as it’s very hard to use photoshop like this.

Adobe FireFly Model 5 Not working like previous version of PS

I am experiencing significant issues with the Adobe Firefly Model 5 in Photoshop version 27.10. Compared to previous versions, the model’s performance has declined considerably. I prefer using the native model over partner models, as the latter often result in lower resolution and image displacement after generation. Additionally, I have noticed that the specific brightness tool I rely on is missing, and the current "Light" tool does not provide the same functionality or results. Could you please advise on how I can restore the previous behavior or locate these missing tools in the current version?

Photoshop wont Print nor show ICC Profiles

Hi. My problem is that Photoshop Print Menu is not showing the Epson ICC Profiles. I deinstalled and reinstalled the Epson driver, updated the firmware etc and it made it worse. The print menu now is not only missing the ICC Profiles, it is also missing some sections, plus a bogus menu comes instead of the original one. It wont even read the custom paper sizes. Even if I hit print, it won't print due to a 'missing software' issue. Anyone?

P: Photoshop 27.10: "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom Classic & Lightroom Desktop does not load image

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

Within the Photoshop Pro Editor (27.10.0 release), my colors on my monitor are not accurate. However, within Adobe Camera Raw (version 18.6), the colors appear to be accurate on screen

I have an HP Omen 45L Desktop Computer which has an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070 Ti Super graphics card (running the latest NVIDIA Studio driver), and my monitor or display is an ASUS PA329CRV-1. I’m using a monitor calibration device, Datacolor Spyder X, with the software Datacolor Spyder X Pro 6.2. I’m using Adobe Photoshop (27.10.0 release), and Adobe Camera Raw (version 18.6). Something has changed within my computer system or software to where the colors I’m seeing within my Adobe Photoshop are not accurate. Recently, Photoshop had a major update where on the main screen you can edit your image in either the Pro Editor (which seems to be the classical Photoshop edit screen) or the AI Assited Editor.Within the Photoshop Pro Editor, my colors on my monitor are no longer accurate. However, within Adobe Camera Raw, the colors appear to be accurate on my display.

Intermittent software lags and slowdowns

The bug is a seemingly random and intermittent brush lag on a Mac M4. It persists after all troubleshooting procedures (versions 27.9.1 and 27.10)Product: Adobe PhotoshopVersions tested: 27.10 (current), 27.9.1 — identical issue on both, 26.0 and BetaSystem: Apple Silicon M4, macOS (latest version), 24 GB unified memorySince: The issue first appeared roughly on the latest versionRandom slowdowns occur while drawing or erasing brush strokes in Photoshop. The stuttering happens unpredictably, with no discernible pattern, and delays and groups every action made during the freeze at the end of it. Tool changes and windows also freeze. The document involved is not large and the issue is reproducible.Causes ruled out through diagnosis:The issue persists in all of the following configurations, which eliminates each of these as a cause: •⁠ ⁠Rollback to version 27.9.1 (identical lag) •⁠ ⁠Full reinstall of the latest version with preference deletion •⁠ ⁠New standard macOS user account (ident

Feature Requests

When selecting a tool such as Crop, a panel opens which covers part of the workspace for the image being edited. The options menu should open in a moveable window that the user can resize and shift around to a convenient location on the screen instead of automatically obscuring part of the image. Working space on a laptop screen is small enough already; a moveable window would help make the most of the limited space available. And get rid of crop suggestions! They are a waste of space and processing resources.

Hello,I think it would be great if a "restore session on start" feature were added, just like in web browsers.I tried implementing this using JSX (PhotoshopSessionManager), but it would be ideal if it were available natively across all applications.Thanks. Great Apps. I like it.

P: Request_Per-Brush Size Memory in PhotoshopUnder Review

yoob111Known Participant

Feature Requests

Hi, I am urgently reporting a very inconvenient issue with Photoshop’s current brush size-saving system, and I’m asking for a fix.I love Photoshop and want to continue using it, but the lack of a per-brush size memory feature makes it very stressful to work with. Other art programs such as Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, Krita, and Blender’s Grease Pencil already include this feature, which makes the workflow far more intuitive.Here’s what I need Photoshop to do:Each brush should remember its own last-used size independently, rather than all brushes sharing one size.The current problem:If I use Brush A at size 20, then switch to Brush B at size 5, returning to Brush A resets its size—it doesn’t remember I last used it at 20. Even with the "Capture Brush Size in Preset" option unchecked, all brushes just share the most recent size. This makes it impossible to keep track of the sizes I set for different brushes.Why presets don’t solve this:Of course, I could save new brush presets for each

Photoshop does not append file extensions

Photoshop 2026 27.2macOS Tahoe 26.2 Photoshop does not automatically append file extension when saving. According to this help article there are supposed to be options.And those options are missing, not sure since when. Previously in version 27.1 (and macOS Tahoe 26.1), even if I deliberately remove .jpg from the filename when I save, Photoshop would append .jpg, and would ask whether to overwrite if file already exists.

Is L (Lightness) 0–255? Or 0–100?Searching online says the range is 0–100, but when I look at Photoshop, isn’t it usually 0–255?For A, is it green and red, or magenta? Why do different sources or regions describe it differently, with some people saying it represents red?What do positive and negative values mean?Why does a negative value represent green, while a positive value represents magenta?
