Hi guys! I updated and it looks like the Contextual Task Bar automatically turned off for me. I had to turn it back on myself. Enable the Contextual Task Bar Here’s the most crucial step of the process. Under the ‘Windows’ dropdown menu, an option called ‘Contextual Task Bar’ can be enabled or disabled with a single click. Be sure to have this menu option enabled, or your selections will not display options for Generative Fill. ... View more

Huion Kamvas 12 and Wacom Intous without the file PSUserConfig ours is not active, so 100% it is necessary tried Photoshop Beta 26.5 - worked for 14 minutes and again the same thing of course, if you close Photoshop every 5-10 minutes and open it again, then one picture can be processed in 5-7 Photoshop reboots, but it still takes much longer than just processing with version 22.2 Once again, the settings are the same for 26.5 and 26.3, and 25.1, and 22.2 - but only 22.2 WORKS, and newer versions freeze ...

@Alex-print you’ve had some great tips from @davescm - I'll add that it's important to check the incoming file has an embedded ICC colour profile, the image colour space makes a lot of difference to its appearance.  Do you get a warning [about a missing ICC profile] when opening the file? Please post (inline) a screenshot of JUST your Photoshop Color Settings control panel.    I see in the screenshot you posted that did not check to embed the ICC profile, that is important.  The RIP should read the document ICC profile and convert to the printer's ICC profile.    Let's get started by knowing more about the incoming image file - post the screenshot I asked for above You can learn more about ICC profiles here.     I hope this helps neil barstow - adobe forum volunteer, colourmanagement consultant & co-author of 'getting colour right' See my free articles on colour management online Help others by clicking "Correct Answer" if the question is answered.

Hi @amber_8798    I wrote out a long answer, but I realize I may have misunderstood.   Is Arial® by Monotype available to you in Photoshop or is is altogether missing? Here is the list of typefaces included with macOS and Arial is on the list: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108939.    If it is available, you will need to select your text and apply Arial for the  Type face. It is a character setting, so the characters must be selected first.   Jane   ... View more

Hey, @Tharaka5E57. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll move your response to discussions for now. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. Please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > upload and attach here.    You're working on Photoshop 2024, please update to the latest version via the Creative Cloud desktop app.    Does this happen with the specific documents? Is this image stored on an external drive or in a folder associated with cloud backup services? Working through a network or external drive is unpredictable & is not recommended. Head here to learn more: https://adobe.ly/3A2G2zK   Please share if you find a repeatable pattern or series of steps along with a sample PSD/TIF file with me via direct message.    Thanks!

No, as I have stated all along "Standardization" of terms between the apps. As an example what almost everyone who has ever used a computer in the past 30+ years has encountered an Adobe Acrobat file. In the early years of the Acrobat file the user became very familiar with the icon and what to expect when opening the file. However, in the past few years others developed apps to create PDF files. This has caused some unexpected results. The PDF files are like a box of chocolates and you don't know what you are going to get. ... View more

I do agree that it's nice that Adobe does provide options that suit different needs.  I can probably agree that a one-size-fits-all solution is not the best way to go.  The one point where I would disagree with your summary is on with the statement "PSE Organizer is good for home/family/hobby organizing..."  I've been a serious amature, moderately successful professional, and now back to a serious amature photographer.  PSE Organizer has done almost everything that I needed and I think in many ways is preferable for the kind of photography I do.  For awhile I've been trying to think of things that I would like to do with my image collection and can't do with the PSE Organizer.  I haven't really come up with anything.  My synopsis of it is that it has a rich set of features, is easy to use, and has a comfortable UI.   When I made my initial post, I was hoping that someone would suggest a cataloging system that I had never heard of before and that would give me a chance to see if it was any better than what I'm using now.  That never happened.  Fortunately I'm not in a bind and needing to find something else. ...
