Something for the Weekend - Part 267 - A close shave!

Thanks to everyone who submitted an image to our previous ‘Move Closer’ challenge. This week we start with a straight razor, a popular shaving tool until the safety razor came out although some still use the straight razor today. What will you make from this object? Will you incorporate it in a scene or make something completely new from it? Please add a few words with your image describing how you went about it, it may help others and it is always good to see alternative approaches. 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 humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in

Image Size dialog freezes on large files with many layers

The preview function in the Image Size dialog is seemingly incapable of dealing with complex large resolution files.For example, I am working a 10,000x6,000pixel image, with about 100 layers, there is a mix of Smart Objects (with and without filters applied, both linked and embedded), pixel layers, and adjustment layers. If I attempt to resize the document, by any amount, the Preparing to Build Preview comes up, then I instantly get a spinning beach ball, no chance to even cancel the preview. Out of curiosity, I have let it run for up to an hour, never finishes. Only solution is to force quit the app.This has happened across multiple versions of Photoshop on multiple computers going back years.If there is no fix, please let me disable the preview, in 30 years of using this app, I have never once needed a preview of how my image is going to re-size.System info and a screen shot of the image size dialog doing nothing attached. -Sam

Save Foreground AND Background color in Brush PresetOpen for Voting

When saving a brush preset, we are able to save the color, which is great. I do a lot of masking work where I need to bounce back and forth between white and black. Which means when I save a brush, I need both the foreground color and the background color to be saved specifically like that. But when you grab a custom brush, it only remembers the foreground color that you had saved. So let's say, for instance, that you have your foreground and background color both set to red. And then you would like to use one of your custom brushes, so you select it. The foreground color will now switch to your saved color, but the background color will continue to be red. We should have an option when saving brushes to remember both foreground and background color. This is more efficient and eliminates extra steps when we need something specific.

Brush Presets-Need Way to Update Brush PresetOpen for Voting

After creating a brush preset, if you'd like to make a change to that brush preset, there's no way to update the brush or save the changes. After making a change to a brush preset, you have to save it as a new preset (with a new name) and then delete the old one. I'd like to be able to save it into the current instead of having to create an entirely different brush. “Update Preset” or “Update Brush” would be great. The reason for this is I do a lot of work that uses actions and the brushes are built into those actions. So I'd like my new brush to have the original brush name, which is currently impossible without going through the process of deleting the old brush and renaming the new brush to the exact same name as the old brush so that it works in the action.

switch-off generative AI featureOpen for Voting

As a passionate illustrator and publishing designer, I have always relied on Adobe software to bring my creative visions to life. Recently, however, the introduction of generative AI features has sparked some concerns for me. Like many artists, I believe that true creativity comes from the human spirit, and I worry that AI might overshadow our authentic artistry. My publisher clients appreciate this genuine approach, often including in contracts that generative AI cannot be used in their projects. It's important to recognize that not all creatives want AI in their tools; the choice should be in the hands of each user. I encourage Adobe to consider offering an option to completely switch-off generative AI features, respecting the diverse needs of their community and supporting the artistic freedoms that define us.#adobeai #adobe #adobeillustrator#graphicdesign #aiart #photoshop #ai #digitalart

Add an ability to disable alertOpen for Voting

Thank you for all your hard work on the development every day.When I use Lasso tool, I often look the alert "No pixels are more than 50% selected". Compared to horizontal movements, I often find that I cannot move my arm as intended in the vertical direction, which inevitably leads to this warning appearing.It is clear from both my arm movements and the results that I have made the wrong selection, so personally, I find this warning to be an intrusive and annoying nuisance that merely interrupts my work and disrupts my rhythm.I would like to see an option to disable this warning.

Adobe Connector for Chat GPT can't generate images

It occurs before Firefly receives the prompt, even when generating one image at a time. Disconnecting, reconnecting and restarting the app have not resolved it. Please investigate the connector’s authentication/transport authorization.

"save as type" keeps going to photoshop extension, I want it to default to 'jpg.

When done editing a jpg. It says “save as type” and defaults to a photoshop extension every time. other versions never did this. Very time consuming when you have 400 plus photos to do. Any help here?

When will you fix the Remove tool?

When will you fix the Remove tool? The Cloud and the Device! Use AI to fix the program's bugs, not to add new features. The noise reduction feature is terrible, and there's this bug too. This is a huge step backward.

Photoshop screen constantly flickering 포토샵 화면 지속적으로 번쩍이는 문제

Whenever I click within Photoshop, open or close a dialog box, Alt-Tab, or use Windows or other programs while Photoshop is running, the screen flashes white; sometimes, the entire screen turns a dark reddish, and the system crashes or shuts down.PC: GeForce RTX 3060I thought my monitor was faulty and replaced it, but the issue persists severely whenever I launch Photoshop.Please release a bug fix quickly. This has been a serious problem for weeks now, and I am unable to use Photoshop.It is extremely inconvenient; I cannot perform any other tasks while Photoshop is running. Please roll out a hotfix as soon as possible. 포토샵 내에서 클릭할 때마다, 수정 창 열고 닫을 때, 알트탭할 때, 포토샵이 켜져있는 상태에서 윈도우나 다른 프로그램 사용할 때 화면이 흰색으로 번쩍번쩍거리고, 심지어 화면 전체가 검붉은색으로 다운되고 꺼져버리네요. PC: 지포스 RTX 3060모니터가 고장난줄 알고 모니터도 교체해봤는데 포토샵만 키면 여전히 심각하네요.빨리 버그 픽스 해주세요. 지금 거의 몇주째 심각합니다. 포토샵 이용을 못하겠습니다. 너무 불편합니다. 포토샵 킨 상태에서 다른 작업이 불가능합니다. 핫픽스 좀 빨리 업데이트해주세요.

Photoshop 2026 Generative Remove/Remove Object only works when I use a Tri (3) mobile hotspot.

It fails on Wi-Fi networks at my office and cafés. I use a MacBook Pro 2020. I already tried changing DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1, but it still does not work. The feature immediately works again when I switch to Tri hotspot. Please investigate possible network/routing issues with Adobe's Generative AI services.

Can't save as JPG; most file types are missing from save options

Most of the file type options are missing from my save menu. I cannot save JPGs unless I choose the 'Save as a Copy command. If I choose 'Save', or 'Save As...' I only see options to save as PSD, PSB, IFF, JPF, PNG, TIFF. I've noticed that for some files, I only have PSD, PSB, and TIFF.  I have my project set to 8-bit, RGB Color.I use photoshop regularly and this problem just started yesterday. The problem persists with all new projects I create.
