Summary:When painting with the Brush tool, Photoshop's canvas redraw appears hard-capped at approximately 31–32 FPS, even on a 144Hz monitor with a high-end GPU that is barely utilized during the stroke. This does not happen in other applications (e.g., MS Paint) on the same machine, which render smoothly up to the monitor's full refresh rate.System specs:GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (8GB VRAM) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (6 Cores, 3,5 GHz) Driver version: 591.86, CUDA 13.1 Monitor: 144Hz (confirmed set correctly in Windows Display settings) OS: Windows 11 Photoshop version: Adobe Photoshop 2026Steps to reproduce:Open any document (tested on both small ~1000x1000px and larger 2560x1440px canvases — file size does not affect the issue) Select the Brush tool (tested with standard round brushes, Smoothing set to 0%) Paint continuously on the canvas while monitoring FPS via MSI Afterburner / RivaTuner Statistics Server overlay Observed FPS stays around 31–32 FPS during active brush strokesWhat I
The PS 27.11.0 update hid the Contiguous checkbox. Now to see whether it’s checked or not, one has to click on the three dots in the Options bar. I am constantly using the Contiguous function, and this is a time-consuming and frustrating change. How can I make the Contiguous check-box always visible?
I think it occurs when an image is synced to the Cloud, but in Lr Classic the text of a caption or description field in the image metadata is being stripped of all the paragraph breaks so all the paragraphs disappear and the field becomes one unreadable block of text.
In the rush to add AI features please make sure old standard features we depend on and that have worked for years continue to work. With PS 27.11 the ability to save as a TIFF, an essential function, got removed or turned off. More bugs and deficiencies are being introduced as more AI functions get added.
SummaryPen pressure doesn’t work in Photoshop 27.11 (the current release) on a Wacom Cintiq Pro 24. Strokes draw at full size and opacity no matter how hard I press. Rolling back to 27.3.1 fixes it right away. Pressure works in every other application, so the driver and hardware are working. Other users have reported the same issue starting in 27.4.EnvironmentPhotoshop: 27.11 (broken), 27.3.1 (works) Tablet: Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 Pen & Touch (DTH-2420) Wacom driver: [version find it in Wacom Center > Help > About] OS: Windows 11 Pro, build 26300 (Insider) GPU: [model and driver version]Steps to reproduceInstall Photoshop 27.11 with the Wacom driver above. Create a new document and select the default Brush tool. Turn on pressure for size and opacity (in the options bar and in Brush Settings > Shape Dynamics and Transfer).

Hi everyone,I'm experiencing persistent freezing and severe performance issues in Photoshop 2026 on Windows 11, and I'm hoping someone can help me identify the cause.System specifications OS: Windows 11 Home, build 26300 CPU: Intel Core i7-13700KF GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti (12 GB VRAM) RAM: 32 GB NVIDIA driver: 617.42 Photoshop: 2026 (27.x) The problemThe New Document window sometimes freezes immediately after opening. If I wait long enough, it may eventually become responsive and allow me to create a document.The problem also occurs while editing existing PSD files. Photoshop may work initially, but after a while the interface becomes extremely sluggish or freezes temporarily. Sometimes Windows reports that Photoshop is not responding, but it can recover after waiting. This makes it very difficult to work normally.I also experienced similar sluggishness with Photoshop Beta. Rolling back to an earlier Photoshop version improved the situation slightly, but did not resolv
like title says...i restartd, checked an no updates...started happening after 27.11 update...ive tried like 50 random files now and all same result...whats goin on????
Environment: OS: Windows 11 64-bit CPU: Intel Core i7-14700K GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Photoshop Version: 27.10 Driver: NVIDIA Studio Driver Issue Description: Immediately after updating to Photoshop v27.10, severe UI and canvas rendering issues began occurring during normal editing. The symptoms include: Rapid flickering where UI elements and the canvas temporarily disappear and instantly reappear (no black or white flashes). When navigating menus (e.g., Preferences), the text briefly vanishes and comes back. While editing, the active photo disappears from the canvas and instantly reappears. The flickering happens extremely fast, rendering the application completely unusable for daily work. This issue is isolated to Photoshop and does not occur in other applications. Troubleshooting Steps Executed: Verified the monitor is connected directly to the NVIDIA GPU, bypassing the Intel iGPU. Forced High Performance GPU assignment for photoshop.exe via Windows 11 G

I am no longer able to select multiple layers by using CTRL+Click and dragging over the layers that I want to select all at once. I must now CTRL+Click each individual layer which slows down the process immensely.
Hello everyone.I'm having a problem with Photoshop version 27.10 where RAW files won't open and most image files won't load their previews on Bridge with this version of Photoshop installed. Also, I can't open any file from Bridge into Camera RAW, seems the link between both apps and Camera RAW is broken. Reverting to an older version of Photoshop, like 27.8, makes both Bridge and Photoshop functional again. So it's 100% a Photoshop problem. I've done a lot of testing installing different versions.Does anyone know if this is fixed in latest 27.11 update or can test this on that newer version, please? I'm not risking installing it without knowing if it's fixed, after all the cleaning I had to do to my PC before reverting back.Thank you in advance.

Thanks to all who took part in our ‘mystery’ challenge. It is amazing to see the variations explaining what might have happened in the woods.Those who regularly take part in these challenges will know that sometimes we start with an object and sometimes a scene. This week it is the turn of these handcuffs. They are from Adobe 3D assets and were textured in Substance Painter, along with the other objects, then rendered in Blender 3D, before finishing in Photoshop. How will you use the cuffs? Will they appear on someone in your image or will you turn them into something else completely?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.

Im Anfang lies sich Photoshop nicht mehr öffnen. Nach den letzten Updates (Windows und Photoshop) lässt sich Photoshop öffnen, meldet aber beim Öffnen von Bilddateien einen Programmfehler.Da keine genaue Fehlermeldung existiert kann ich auch nicht sagen, ob Windows oder Photoshop den Fehler generiert.
