Photoshop

For a company that charges an exorbitant premium subscription fee, their software stability is a absolute joke. A routine update completely destroyed the core Lightroom-to-Photoshop handshake workflow, rendering the standard 'Edit in Photoshop' feature entirely useless.When you try to bypass their broken code pathways, you are met with flat, washed-out color profiles that fail to render correctly even when manually assigning the proper color spaces. Adobe clearly does not test their systems properly before forcing updates onto paying users. They are using their consumer base as live guinea pigs for broken code.Instead of saving professionals time, Adobe’s lack of quality control turns simple, two-minute edits into hours of grueling tech support. It is completely incompetent, frustrating, and unacceptable for software that is supposed to be the industry standard. I am actively looking for alternatives to cancel my subscription.It is not surprising that so many people are switching away

V27.10 shows my GPU meets requirements under “Help”. However when I preform some PS function that requires the GPU the screen goes black for a second or two.

To better explain the situation, I will attach a screenshot. This is rather annoying and I don’t know how to move the small tiles out of the main workspace. There at the right side.  

Photoshop 25.12, ACR 16.5.0.1954 on macOS Sequoia 15.0. Photoshop will open 8-bit HEIC files correctly. However, a 10-bit HEIC will open into ACR but then fail to open into Photoshop for editing. Both display correctly in Bridge 2022 and Bridge 2025 beta. HEIC files were exported with Preview 11.0 from both a 16-bit PSD and from a DNG file. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/w8e1zehi2w5oo4tq2x8rn/AC5BDxjd4tzQUMK5lDTkdow?rlkey=1ghhv3jwncrmig31zxanuyfuh&st=q0gudc7s&dl=0  Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.12.0 20240903.r.806 055f5e9 x64Number of Launches: 69Operating System: Mac OS 15.0.0System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:14, Stepping:10 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, HyperThreadingPhysical processor count: 6Logical processor count: 12Processor speed: 2600 MHzBuilt-in memory: 16384 MBFree memory: 6805 MBMemory available to Photoshop: 12627 MBMemory used by Photoshop: 70 %Crash Handler: AdobeDCX Version: 7.24.8SAM SDK Ver

Please restore the "Delete Hidden Layers" command in the Layers panel menu.In recent versions of Photoshop (27.8), the Delete Hidden Layers command has disappeared from the Layers panel menu. It used to be available directly from the panel and was an essential productivity feature for many professional users.Removing this shortcut forces users to perform additional steps for a very common housekeeping task. This is a regression in usability rather than an improvement.Please restore Delete Hidden Layers to the Layers panel menu, where it was for many years. It was easy to find, consistent with professional workflows, and saved valuable time when cleaning complex PSD files.Many long-time Photoshop users rely on this command every day. Bringing it back would improve workflow efficiency at virtually no cost.Thanks a lot in advanceBest regardsCleo (senior art director and graphic designer with over 20 years of daily Photoshop use)

I am currently working on a Mac mini, Tahoe 26.7.  I have the Creative Cloud Photography plan with 1 TB on a yearly plan.The issue that I have been experiencing is the inability to use the REMOVE TOOL when taking an image from Lightroom Classic into Photoshop.  When I click on the remove tool, I get a message:  Required components are being downloaded.  Check back later to use the feature once the download is complete.  I do that, hit ok and nothing.  I will try again and hit cancel and briefly a message says that the download successfully installed.  There is still no change to the situation and the option bar for the remove tool does not appear.  The mouse just turns into a cross hair.I also noted that the PS icon appears again on my dock when I am working in photoshop in this situation.  I am not sure if this is a relevant matter. I am running Lightroom 15.5.1, camera raw 18.5.1 and Photoshop 2026, 27.10.0 release.I have spent 3 hours on 3 separate occasions with tech support at Ado

I have been using the remove tool for general clean up for months now. But since the update for PS CC 2026 it is borderline unusuable. I haven’t read much about it on here, so I though I’d ask if this is an actual but or a simple case of “ens***ification. Ever since the 2026 update I can no longer replace details in snow or sand textures for example because the resulting textures either rendered by the AI or in Photoshop itself do no longer look like the neighbouring textures but patchy, blurry and simply unusable. It doesn’t matter whether I set AI to auto, on or off. Results look like from 2010’s patch tool basically, neither texture, nor color or luminosity match the general area. On top of that for about two months now the tool has become incredibly slow for whatever reason and since I do have a 300mbit fiber conection I doubt it is the internet needed for the transfer of the image data as has been hinted at here on the forums recently.I then tried to simply mark the areas I would

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

Is Photoshop Generative AI getting worse, or am I just noticing it?I've been using Photoshop Generative Fill for quite a while, and recently I've noticed a significant drop in the quality of the results.The biggest issue for me is texture and detail. Results that previously matched the original image quite well are now often soft, blurry, or lacking the original texture. This is particularly noticeable when working with fabrics, rugs, surfaces and other detailed photographic material.I've tested different models, including Firefly 1 and the newer models, and I'm seeing similar problems. I've also tried different prompts and selections, so I'm wondering whether something has changed on Adobe's side rather than it being an issue with my particular workflow.I'm currently using Photoshop 27.10.Has anyone else noticed a decline in Generative Fill quality recently, particularly with texture/detail preservation? Or is there a known change to the models or generation system?I'd be interested t
