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. 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 fro

What Is Prompt to Edit? Prompt to Edit lets you transform an entire image using a text prompt.

Use Markup and Marks to guide the AI toward specific areas of an image, add instructions, or indicate where new elements should appear.

You asked, we listened, and we're excited to share that one of the community's long-standing feature request is now available in Photoshop 27.10.

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
This issue came up either way earlier this year or last year, I seem to have it show up at least once a year and I can never remember each time how to stop it.But this week photoshop was just fine until a couple days ago or so and now it asks me every single time if I want to save anyways…...uhh yes? How do I get rid of this notification?nothing is being changed on it, nothing is accessing it any differently than the week/year prior, I literally have not done anything different…...just started on new edits, that’s it.I don’t do anything different in lightroom, it sits in the background exactly the same as it always is when I transfer it over to photoshopI can’t remember what the heck it was I had to do before to stop this random event. Was there some new update that randomly change settings for no reason? I already tried going into file handling and told it to NOT ask, but it still asks anyways.
I just installed Photoshop 27.11.0 on my Mac M4 running macOS Sequoia 15.7.3.When I open a photo from Lightroom in Photoshop and try to use the Reflection Removal tool to remove reflections from a store window, it doesn't work. Photoshop creates a completely black Reflection Layer.I've also tried using Camera Raw by going to Filter → Camera Raw Filter → Distraction Removal → Reflections but that produces a completely white layer instead.I've confirmed that the image is 8-bit and have also tried converting it to a Smart Object, but neither has helped.Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a solution? I'd really appreciate any suggestions!Thanks so much!
When I color select and delete what I have selected, the selected portion of the layer just changes opacity. My fuzziness is set to zero, and it never did this before this week, so I don’t know what’s going on.This was a test demonstration^ the original blue was the color of the swatch.
I’m trying to use File → Export → Export As… to batch-export multiple files in WebP format. In Photoshop version 27.2.0, the format dropdown only shows PNG, JPG, and GIF. How can I enable WebP as an export option without having to add a script?Here is what I see:
When I try to use the function “ Select > Subject” on v26, the software will select the object from the background on the image with out any issues.however the exact same function does not work on v27 and pop up a warning saying on subject can be found no matter using the AI function or the basic one to achieve the same goal.
I believe many others have a distaste for the inability to dock the contextual task bar. It becomes a tedious thing to continually have to move while working in Photoshop. It's always in the way, and pinning doesn't really work well. I suggest making it able to be docked like any other panel, integrating into the control (options) bar like every other contextual task before this, or adding to the properties panel. I'm not a beginner, so why am I forced to have a beginner-like user experience? The beauty of Photoshop and other Adobe software is to be able to customize your tools for your workflow and how you like them. This takes away from that, and other Adobe software such as Illustrator is starting to copy what Photoshop did. I love gen fill, however, so it presents a conundrum. Do I only turn it on when I'm using gen fill or always leave it on? To the best of my knowledge, gen fill is the only thing that the bar has that there's no other way to do other than to go to
With some features of ACR now making into Photoshop, I would also like to see Point Color port too.I've been using Point Color (as a Camera Raw Smart Filter), a lot recently for fine edits to match test (printed) proofs to physical beauty products, and found it very useful.I would love to see 'the technology' ported to Photoshop, as its ability to define a source pixel colour range is much better than what PS currently has to offer.However, the ability to define the target colour value is what would make it worth it.As someone who works in Print, I would love it to pick and change CMYK values too!
In cropping tool, when "tabbing" from width to height, it just changes the screen mode. It used to jump between width, height, resolution
At the top bar of Photoshop 27.11.0 randomly I get the “Filter” menu greyed out and I cannot click on it.if I quit and reopen the app everything works and the glitch will only happen after some minutes of use.

What a shity update.Whol day I can’t work because all my works can’t be saved during edition. I can’t use CRTL+S the only solution is Save as and save as new file with new name. Whole day such crap.
I’m fairly (though not 100%) sure I’ve used the VSCode debugging extension for Photoshop before, but I can’t get it to work currently.If I try to initiate a debug session, the debugging icon in the vertical menu on the left gets its ‘running’ badge, and a little blue line appears just under the “Run and Debug” section top left, running from left to right to indicate that something is being worked on, like so (the blue line under the g in ‘Debug’ here):And that’s how it stays – nothing more happens. No error message, no timeout, no debug session – nada.Initiating a debug session with InDesign using a configuration that is completely identical (except for the host app specifier, of course) works fine – it’s just Photoshop where it doesn’t work.This is the configuration I’m using:{ "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "type": "extendscript-debug", "request": "launch", "name": "Current file", "script": "${file}", "hostAppSpecifier": "photoshop-200.064",
when using object transform to stretch, sheet, or skew a layer, the axis of refrence for the transform control box is locked in on the X/Y axis. now if you rotate the object, the axis of the transform control box will rotate with the object, but only until you confim the transform at which point it resets. This means that if you rotate a perfect square to be sitting at 45 degree angle, you can stretch it on a 45 degree axis into a perfect rectangle on a 45 degrees if its donew in only one transform. The issue is that after you confirm the transform, or if you have an object already at an angle you want to stretch on an angle, there is no simple built in way to rotate the angle of the transform box to match the angle of the layer/selection being transformed. This functionality is a basic necessity in all 3D modeling apps so I'm pretty surprised it hasnt been added to photoshop in the 15 years ive been using it. Before people start suggesting to just use smart shapes or some smart object
I’m using a MacBook Pro. I’ve changed nothing either in PS or my computer since last use.
Updated to 27.11 this morning. Mac Studio M1 Max 64 GB RAM Tahoe 26.6.2.I have had only the 4 main file formats (psd, tif, jpg, psb) selected in my dropdown ever since the feature to edit them went live. After upgrading to 27.11 TIF no longer appears in the dropdown.Went to the format selection tool (Edit → customize save dialog file formats) and check to see that TIF was still selected as one of the formats. It was. Unselected and then reselected it, no change.Workaround so far is to use the restore defaults setting in the customize tool. Then TIFF reappears in the many options in save as dialogs
When I make a selection and choose “remove” Photoshop takes a long time to consider and then informs me I need to check my internet connection. My computer (Mac M4 Max) is up to date and has sufficient RAM and I have strong stable internet connection. This problem seems to be pretty persistent. Other AI options seem to be working but remove isn’t.
