Photoshop

Problem Description:Problem Description: While actively working in Photoshop, an empty, translucent white modal window suddenly appears over the workspace, completely blocking the application. The program interface becomes unresponsive: the top menu items become inactive (grayed out), interaction with the canvas stops, and standard keyboard shortcuts (such as Ctrl + S to save) are ignored. Any mouse clicks on the canvas or menu items are accompanied by the standard Windows system error sound. The issue may be directly related to the background JavaScript Runtime process (node.exe), running within Photoshop. Attempting to terminate node.exe using the standard Windows Task Manager method is blocked by the operating system. The only way to temporarily restore access to the interface is to force-quit the process via the command line. After force-quitting node.exe, Photoshop displays a delayed error message: "There was a problem with Generator. Please close Photoshop and try again..."  Desp

 After 27.8.2026 updates I face randomly several errors in Photoshop, Camera Raw and Lightroom. Freesing, closing, not exporting, memory issues. Anyone else? All those worked perfectly till the update. In Task Manager everything looks like before.

Thanks to all who took part in our last, ‘Holy Island’, challenge. There were some great entries that showed the imagination and skill of this community.The regulars in these challenges will know that sometimes we start with a scene and sometimes an object. This week we have two starter images, the first with a magnifying glass and a paper. The second is the same magnifying glass but with a transparent background. You can use either, or both, to start your entry. The scene was created and rendered in Blender 3D with Adobe Substance 3D Designer and Adobe Substance 3D Painter used for textures.How imaginative can you get with this simple scene, or object?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 Pho

After the latest update, the new "AI Assistant" / "Pro Editor" elements added to the Options Bar take up too much horizontal space. On standard Full HD (1920x1080) resolution, this pushes essential tool controls completely off-screen (notably the Commit/Confirm ✓ and Cancel ⃠ buttons during Free Transform, Crop, and Warp modes).Steps to reproduce: Use Photoshop on a standard 1080p display. Select any layer and enter Free Transform (Ctrl + T) or select the Crop Tool (C). Look at the right side of the Options Bar. Expected result: The Commit and Cancel buttons should fit cleanly on the Options Bar.Actual result: The bar overflows and the buttons are cut off / hidden.

Photoshop and other applications from my plan cannot find an internet connection. They cannot be verified and give an error, first 12015 and then 102. After that, the application closes. The Internet is available, the subscription is paid. I have a windows 11 64x 

I’m just editing the artboard normally, but the colors keep changing on their own.This happened after I updated to the new version 27.10.0.For the full details, please watch the attached video.

 My keyboard shortcuts are not working in Photoshop at all.Regular typing works normally inside text fields, but none of the shortcuts respond (for example: V, B, Ctrl+T, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z, etc.).I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps: Reset Photoshop preferences using Ctrl + Alt + Shift on launch Verified that Keyboard Shortcuts are set to Default Switched keyboard language to English Restarted Photoshop and the computer multiple times Checked that I am not inside a text layer Reset tools inside Photoshop Disabled background applications that may interfere with shortcuts Updated Photoshop to the latest version Despite all of this, the keyboard shortcuts still do not work only inside Photoshop.The keyboard works perfectly in other applications.Is there any deeper fix related to system conflicts, drivers, or Photoshop configuration files that I may be missing?

Note: I am working on an Imac Intel 2020, Mac OS Sequoia 15.7.9. with 32GB RAM. I am working in Photoshop v 27.9.1. Have had NO problems running Photoshop……….until NOW! Attempted to use Spin Blur  (Filter > Blur Gallery > Spin Blur). Check “Spin Blur”. NOTHING APPEARS!  In control panel Tabs underneath show:  Effects - Motion Effects - Noise.  (A) When selecting “Effects”, there is the following message: “Available for only Field Blur”   (B) Selecting “Motion Effect”, shows message: “Available only for Path Blue and Spin Blure”.  (C) Selecting “Noise”/Gaussian produces no effect. At no time, under any circumstances does the Spin Blur ‘Control wheel’ (not sure WHAT Adobe calls this gizmo) appear. Things I tried and/or considered:  (1) - Reset Blur Gallery - NO help!   (2) - 8-bit vs 16-bit - NO help!  (3) Smart Object (Layer) vs Raster (Layer) - NO help!  Closed PS and re-launched - NO help!  (4) - UN-checked “Use Graphic Processor” - NO help! I am at my wits end!!! “””SOMETHING””

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 

Hello Adobe Support, I have a colour display issue between Lightroom and Photoshop on Win 11. When I send a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop for editing, the colours in Photoshop appear much more saturated than in Lightroom. This only happens when “Use Graphics Processor” is enabled in Photoshop.If I disable the Graphics Processor in Photoshop, the colours in Lightroom and Photoshop match correctly.I am using the latest versions of Lightroom and Photoshop, as well as the latest NVIDIA driver for my GeForce RTX 4080.Could you please advise what may be causing this and how I can use GPU acceleration without the colour shift?Thank you.

Je ne voudrais pas que ça le demande le code de validation 

When I click on “Open in Photoshop 2026...”, Photoshop opens, but doesn’t open the Lightroom edited image. I confirmed “Full Disk Access” permissions in System Settings.I uninstalled both programs and reinstalled. I reverted back to Photoshop 27.9.1 and the issue went away.

I was working as usual for a couple of hours until I saw that there was a Photoshop update. I updated it and continued working, but immediately after the update, I started noticing the program flickering—sometimes it’s black, other times white. It happens constantly and only in Photoshop, so it’s pretty obvious that it’s a bug in the update.

I’m trying to get the white background removed from this image of the American flag image. But, obviously, I want to keep the white in the stripes. Is there a quick and easy way to to that? I have been trying different tools, but I can’t seem to isolate the background without also selecting the stripes.  

Working with latest version of PS for the PC.  Used Bridge to open jpgs in PS then tried to automate PDF presentation  and initially got a PDF with nothing in it.  Tried again and got a series of error messages 1) unable to open file for writing.  It may be locked or unavailablefollowed by2) Cannot complete your request because of program errorfollowed by 3)PDF presentaiton could not be created. This happened irrespective of whether I used bridge to open the jpgs in PS or I did it through PS

I loaded eight photos into photoshop File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack.I then selected all eight layers followed by Edit > Auto Align layersAnd followed that by Edit > Auto Blend Layers (Stack images)A focus stacked image was created as expected.  However, I wasn’t pleased with one portion of the image and intended to blend it manually.  I started toggling all images off and deactivating masks to find the portion of the image I wanted to use.  I then selected that image, duplicated it, deleted its layer mask (when asked to apply or delete mask, I chose delete) and drug it to the top of the layer stack.  The result was if the layer mask was still applied to the duplicated image.  I witnessed a very patchwork, jigsaw puzzle looking display. 

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing a recurring issue where Photoshop 2026 (Windows) consistently crashes about 5 minutes after launching. The app starts normally, I can begin working, but then it either freezes or closes unexpectedly.I checked the logs and found several repeated errors that seem related to Adobe services rather than a direct Photoshop crash. The most frequent messages include:“User Signed Out” “There is no valid user profile to get an access token” “Error fetching IMS access token” “CCXProcess timed out” “Failed to get data from CCXProcess” “Unable to find user in api.json”I have also attached two log files for reference in case they help identify the issue more precisely.What I have already tried:Clearing cache Clearing preferences Checking for updates of my GPUThe issue still persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance.

The title says it all. The latest Photoshop update, 27.10, has a visual bug when adding a second image to the layers.Now I only have the "Enter" key or the "OK" button at the bottom of the screen to do the same thing. It's a bit inconvenient because I like using the button at the top. Incidentally, the distortion modification button is no longer visible either. And when I use the eraser tool, the confirmation buttons disappear as well. It's impossible to confirm in that area.I think this is a code issue related to the responsive effect after adding the two new buttons "AI Assisted" and "Pro Editor", which shifts everything to the right and thus hides the validation or cancel buttons in image editing mode via certain tools.
