Editing workflows are now more efficient thanks to expanded Remove tool controls in the Contextual Task Bar, giving you quick access to options such as Find distractions, Add to, Subtract from, and Remove after each stroke without interrupting your workflow.Font management has become more reliable with the ability to save and restore your favorite fonts, ensuring your curated font lists remain availab
A realistic shadow helps your subject feel grounded in the scene. In Photoshop, there are several ways to create one, depending on your subject and lighting. Based on workflows shared by experts in the Photoshop community, we've brought together a few of the most effective techniques here. Choose the method that best fits your workflow. Method 1: Using Generative AIAI can speed up the setup, but you will still get the best results by refining the shadow yourself.Use Select Subject or Remove Background to quickly isolate your object. Use Generative Fill to extend the surface where the shadow will fall. Learn more. You can also use Harmonize. It analyzes the lighting, color, and tone of the scene, and can also generate a matching shadow to help the subject feel more naturally integrated. Learn more. Refine the generated shadow manually using one of the methods above for the most realistic result. Method 2: Drop Shadow EffectThis is the quickest way to add depth and separation to elemen
Keeping your Layers panel organized just got a whole lot easier. Layer Cleanup in Photoshop 27.6 and above automatically deletes empty layers and renames layers based on their content, so you can focus on creating, not housekeeping. With a single action from the Layers panel, Photoshop scans your document and removes blank pixel or text layers that tend to pile up during exploration. At the same time, it can intelligently rename layers, giving them clear, descriptive names that reflect what’s inside, so you no longer have to guess what “Layer 37 copy 2” contains. You’re in control of how much cleanup happens. Run it across the entire document for a full reset, or apply it only to selected layers when you want to tidy up as you go. Here is a quick tutorial demonstrating this feature. Why this mattersFaster navigation in complex files Cleaner handoffs when sharing PSDs with teammates Less friction when revisiting older projects Better layer discipline without manual effortWhether you’r

I wanted to buy Premiere Pro, but I made a mistake and instead I bought photoshop. Can I have a refund? or is it over for me :,(
Photoshop crashes. Photoshop was running fine until it said the scratch drive wasn’t big enough so I followed advice on forums and cleaned up some files in the c:drive to make more space. I also at this time opened the old gradients and followed advice to move them on my computer somewhere in the app data roaming. I have since checked the following: reset preferences, reset windows font cashe, manually deleted CT font cashe and roaming data, disabled GPU in preferences, reinstalled creative cloud and photoshop many times, ran a windows system repairs (sfc\scannow) tried with a different local account on same laptop, used Adobe cloud cleaner tool,, checked read write access to folders (but could not do spool\drivers\colour). The problem started when I tried to fix the scratch drive and when I was at same time tried to restore the old legacy photoshop gradient tools. I have tried now to put my scratch drive on a different drive and this also doesn’t work (although I don’t know if possib
Recent PS update blocks `<textarea>`/`<input>` transparency + breaks button/input styling (UXP regression)I've been developing a plugin for 1.5 years, had it working beautifully with styled themedbackgrounds, and was waiting on Marketplace seller verification.

When using the default, “Soft Round Pressure Size” brush in Photoshop, I am experiencing an issue I’ve found out to be called the “shoelace” or “aglet.” You can see it in the images I’ve provided, but essentially, I have these small “aglets” at the ends of my strokes when using pen pressure as the control for the size of my brush. These “aglets” appear no matter the setting, driver, hardware, user profile, or pen-tip adjustments that I’ve tried so far. In my experience, what I’m seeing is a light “hotspot” when I put my pen down (if using opacity/flow below 100%), and when I pull up, I get the aglets. I am in a digital illustration class, and my professor uses this brush for our exercises, making it difficult for me to keep up with the class.Below I will list out, to the best of my ability, my relevant hardware/software specs as well as the diagnostic tests I’ve tried. This happens across all hardware and driver installs: Software -Windows 11: version 10.0.26200 build 26200 Driver: NVI
I'm a seasoned Photoshop/Bridge CS5 user who recently upgraded to CS6. In Bridge I just ran my first Image Processor batch, trying to convert a set of RAW .NEF files to .PSD files with a basic editing action I created applied to them. Photoshop CS6 opens the files from Bridge and applies the actions, but then I get the "Script alert" error message "Sorry I could not process the following files" and a list of all of the files in the batch I was trying to run the script on. The files all remain open and are saved on my hard drive in a folder created by the Image Processor script, but do not close unless I manually close them. I never had this problem in CS5 where the image processor would apply the desired actions to the batch of photos one at a time, then save and close. Thoughts on how I can fix this bug?
Thanks to all who took part in our previous ‘Fixer Upper’ challenge. As always, there were many interpretations of the image and the brief.This week, we start out with a simple object. This Victorian pipe can be found in Adobe 3D assets. I made the wrap-around wood materials using Adobe Substance 3D Designer and then added them to the surface using Adobe Substance 3D Painter, before rendering in Blender 3D.So, now we have our starting image. What can you make with it?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 humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
This version has so many bugs, I don’t even want to use it any more and am switching back to 2025. Just to name a few, it crashes every time you try to print directly from the program. The last month alone, it has cleared my actions 3 times without an app update. It crashed randomly when our workflow is always the same. I have files that work just fine with older versions, but with 2026 it acts like my files are corrupt. Updates clearly aren’t helping either and I have my workspace and preferences the way I like, but even with syncing the actions continuously get cleared. If this ever gets fixed I’ll consider switching, but in the meantime until 2027 comes out, I will be sticking with 2025.
Photoshop Focus Stacking feature for iPad is a must!Im a professional photographer and these days theres no reason for a descktop computer, especially with the combination of the recent M1 ipads pros with lightroom & photoshop apps. That being said, there are really essential features that professional photographers use.. Focus Stacking being one of them. Layering & aligning 20-30 photos one by one is a joke. Concedering the price of subscription and alternative apps that are a one time fee that already have this feature for ipad, Photoshop should of released this feature by now. Besides.. after paying subscriptions every month for photoshop &lightroom, using another app feels like blasphemy.
I’ve been experimenting with Photoshop for creating Roblox-style gaming thumbnails and profile graphics, especially for mobile viewers on YouTube and Discord.One issue I keep running into is that some text effects and character outlines look sharp on desktop but become blurry or overcrowded on smaller screens.I’m also testing different username styles and invisible spacing characters for cleaner gamer tags, but compatibility seems inconsistent across platforms.For creators working on gaming thumbnails or Roblox-related graphics:What canvas size works best? Do you sharpen before or after resizing? Are there recommended export settings for mobile clarity? How do you preview username formatting across platforms?Would appreciate any workflow tips from people designing gaming content in Photoshop
# 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. The graphics card stays at idle power for the whole operation.

Since version 27.4 and continuing in 27.5 I’ve been experiencing image flickering when using the Curves adjustment. In version 27.4, the issue occurs in all Curves use cases. In 27.5, it appears primarily when applying Curves as a Smart Adjustment on a Smart Object. It is slightly improved, but still noticeable when using Curves as a standard adjustment layer.I’ve attached a video demonstrating the issue: The first example shows Curves applied as a Smart Adjustment on a Smart Object (strong flickering). The second shows a direct adjustment on a non-Smart Object layer (no issue). The third shows a standard adjustment layer (minor flickering still visible). The flickering is clearly visible, especially in the first case.Please look into this issue, as it makes precise adjustments very difficult.Thank you.example video:https://youtu.be/jbe6K-ORr44
At first I thought it was due to the latest update, but after a tip to install an older version, I still couldn't open a file. I use macOS 15.7.9
it is becoming entirely too long for pictures to open up in Photoshop by way of Lightroom. I have seen others have the same issue and I have checked the space on my computer as well as updated both programs and nothing has changed. It is increasing the timeframe of me editing some of the most simplest photo shoots by adding hours. Any help with this issue?
I use a psd file on a transparent background wor watermarking. I layer this onto the photograph - right click the psd layer and select blending options - that has always then allowed me to control not only the opacity, but the volume / depth of that watermark. I ran a batch process yesterday where it did about 800 of these without error. The next time I went to do one - manually now, blending options would not respond so far as ant of the depth commands would go. All it would do was allow the layer to be flat - it would no longer create that illusion of being embosssed. etc. Nothing has changed to the best of my knowledge and I have assures that nothing is set on 32 bit, no opacity is set to 0, I have no idea why that function has suddenly come up lame. I have reset the styles in that menu, restarted the program, restarted the computer, but cannot get blending options to - Bevel and Emboss. Any ideas or thoughts ? Windows 10 / CS6 / everything the same so far as I know. Wored successf
Hola… desde hoy, al intentar abrir una imagen para editr en Photoshop, me sale una ventana como la de la captura ajunta. Sólo funciona con fotos en formato .WEBP (rarísimo). Intenté de todo: actualicé la tarjeta gráfica (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, con 16 gigaas de Ram), deshabiliaté el uso de la GPU en Rendimiento (en Preferencias del programa), desinstalé y volvi a instalar el rpograma, etc. Alguien sabe a qué se debe este error? Gracias
I am trying to use transform/warp with split points. I am able to add the points needed however when I try to select multiple with the shift key Photoshop exits without any error. I see this in 27.9.1 and 28.0. I am on a Mac mini running an M4 processor, Tahoe 26.5.1, 24GB of memory. I have tried to disable the GPU which made no difference.
I am having trouble getting my Photoshop desktop app to work. It was working before last night but starting last night I cannot get it to stay open. It will start to open but then it will close again. I have tried all the usual work arounds and talked to tech support, who said to call today if it wasn't working and so here I am.
