Entirely sure, as the photos I keep working on without an issue and it never happened to me, but a good number of actions just randomly disappeared from my 'Actions' menu and whenever I tried loading them back I had this 'end of life unexpected error'. I did manage to manualy install them from their default directories in my archive, and they added normally this time. Strange malfuction but I guess sh*t happens, glad it wasn't much of a fuss to fix it manually in the end. Thank you for getting back to me, however ! ... View more

@psteamscribe I hope you realize that at this point, with still no resolution to this issue, no one has any trust or respect for Adobe, or you. That's not an insult - that's me telling you the temperature of the room in hopes that you hold yourself accountable, because obviously Adobe will not.  (The fact that they won't hold you accountable is why they have no trust or respect.)  You think everyone just wants more AI features, but what we really want is an app which works the way we think it should.  You have failed to give us what we want.  You are a "quality engineer" but you are not living up to providing the quality we desire. ...

This is not a bug.   Do not rely on "recent files" in the Home screen. It is just a passive link to whatever location on disk the file was last saved to. If the file is moved or modified outside Photoshop, the link breaks and you just get a blank document. It does not keep track of the file.   Recent Files is a convenience feature, to let you quickly pick up where you left off before lunch - it is not intended for file management. Use a file browser and note where you save your files.     ... View more

You need to show us. This normally happens when there isn't enough solid overlap (around 40% is required).   Solid overlap means structured areas, flat color such as sky doesn't count. Moving waves will also throw the algorithm off. It really has to be solid ground.   Yes, I know, today AI magic is expected everywhere, but this is an old algorithm that relies on pattern recognition. ... View more

It sounds like you have the crop tool set to "hide" cropped areas instead of "delete" cropped areas.   A flat image can't have content outside the canvas, so for this to work it has to be converted to a floating layer.   If you don't crop it won't happen. ... View more

@Miss_Val22 this MIGHT help (recent cellphones are pretty close to each other, to that may. not be your issue) Windows display profile, display profile issues on Windows   Here's something to try It'll only take a few minutes and is good troubleshooting.   At least once a week on this forum we read about this, or very similar issues of appearance differing between colour managed applications. Of course you must not expect accurate colour with programs such as early versions of Windows "Photos”*, because in those early versions colour management is not implemented, so, such programs are incapable of providing accurate image display. *Windows "Photos” does do colour management now and has for a while, but beware early versions and other apps that are non colour management compliant.   Unfortunately, with Microsoft hardware: Windows updates, Graphics Card updates and Display manufacturers have a frustratingly growing reputation for automatically installing useless (corrupted) monitor display profiles. I CAN happen with Macs but with far less likelihood, it seems.]   The issue can affect different application programs in different ways, some not at all, some very badly.   The poor monitor display profile issue is hidden by some applications, specifically those that do not use colour management, such as Microsoft Windows "Photos".   Photoshop is correct, it’s the industry standard for viewing images, in my experience it's revealing an issue with the Monitor Display profile rather than causing it. Whatever you do, don't ignore it. As the issue isn’t caused by Photoshop, please don’t change your Photoshop ‘color settings’ to try fix it.   To find out if the monitor display profile is the issue, I recommend you to try temporarily setting the monitor profile for your own monitor display under “Device” in your Windows ‘color management’ control panel to “sRGB IEC61966-2.1”. (If you have a wide gamut monitor display (check the spec online) it’s better to try ‘AdobeRGB1998” here instead as it more closely approximates the display characteristics).   Click ‘Start’, type color in the search box, then click Color Management.   [or Press the Windows key + R, type colorcpl in the box and press Enter]   In the Devices tab, ensure that your monitor is selected in the Device field.     You can click to ADD to add “sRGB IEC61966-2.1” (or AdobeRGB1998) if not already listed there. Again - IF you have a wide gamut display I suggest trying “AdobeRGB1998”   Once it’s selected, be sure to check “Use my settings for this device” up top. And click on “set as Default Profile - bottom right   Screenshot of Color Management Control Panel   Quit and relaunch Photoshop after the control panel change, to ensure the new settings are applied.   Depending on the characteristics of your monitor display and your requirements, using sRGB or Adobe RGB here may be good enough - but no display perfectly matches either, so a custom calibration is a superior approach.   If this change to the Monitor Display profile temporarily fixes the appearance issue, it is recommended that you should now calibrate and profile the monitor properly using a calibration sensor like the i1display pro, which will create and install its own custom monitor profile. The software should install its profile correctly so there should be no need to manually set the control panel once you are doing this right.   I hope this helps neil barstow, colourmanagement net  - adobe forum volunteer - co-author: 'getting colour right' google me "neil barstow colourmanagement" for lots of free articles on colour management Help others by clicking "Correct Answer" if the question is answered.

I have a hunch that resetting preferences might do the trick. Don't just click "reset on quit" - nuke it completely: move the whole settings folder to your desktop.   The preferences contain a lot more than your own user settings. It's the whole application configuration, including lots of hidden parameters and parameters relating to your hardware components like the GPU. Corrupt preferences can cause strange, unpredictable and inexplicable behavior. Anything can happen.   Preferences are prone to corruption because they are rewritten on every application exit, in contrast to read-only program files. An irregular shutdown can corrupt them, small errors can accumulate. Especially if you migrate preferences from one version to the next, when to complicate things you have new application code.   Your configuration seems fine otherwise. 6 TB scratch disk is good, you may need a good portion of that. 80% memory is excellent - but 70 will work just as well and is safer. The heavy lifting will be in the scratch disk anyway.   I would not change cache levels and tile sizes, that's unlikely to be the problem. Generally the advice is large tiles for high pixel flat images and smaller tiles for many layers, but you seem to be somewhere in the middle.   Yes, you'll need to set everything up again, but that's ten minutes very well spent (save out your actions, brushes etc).     ...

I don't think I've ever needed a blank document the size of the clipboard. I very frequently want the clipboard to open in Photoshop. Why should I enter a keystroke to avoid something I never want?   @Semaphoric    I was specifically replying to the comment regarding GIMP having a "New Layer from Clipboard" when Photoshop doesn't. This is an extension of the OT where it was about a new document from the clipboard.   Creating a new layer from the clipboard is as simple as a single paste command, so is this just semantics? Do we really need a new, separate menu item to paste clipboard content as a new layer when we can just paste the clipboard content using an existing single command?   Creating a new document from the clipboard takes multiple steps, which makes more sense for a new command, outside of DIY actions/scripts which can be triggered using a single command. ...

If you don’t use ZIP compression for TIFF, then TIFF is not going to be smaller than PSD/PSB so there’s no point, just use PSD/PSB. Uncompressed TIFF files are huge, and TIFF+LZW compression doesn’t save as much as ZIP and in some cases can create larger files than PSD/PSB.  By @Conrad_C   My experience with Tiff compression is that LZW compression works very well with 8-bit files, and can reduce the file size considerably. LZW does not work well with 16-bit files, and can increase the file size. For 16-bit files, ZIP is the best option, but it doesn't compress as well as LZW does with 8-bit files, I typically get a 20-25% reduction in file size. ... View more

When the 'link' between Lightroom Classic and Photoshop has issues, the first step is to try this: Use the Adobe Creative Cloud Application to uninstall Photoshop. When asked, keep preferences! After this reinstall Photoshop again.   If this doesn't help the nest step is to reinstall both apps Lightroom and Photoshop. Please folloe the steps below:   1. Open the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Client and uninstall both Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. When asked, keep preferences!  2. Install Photoshop first and then Lightroom Classic. The right order is very important here!   If this doesn't help try the reinstallation with removing the preferences also.   ... View more

This is related to a larger issue, where several modules stop responding after Photoshop has been running for an undetermined period (5 minutes to several hours).   The affected modules are Save For Web, the Camera Raw filter, Liquify - and a couple more filters from the Filter menu, but these are the most commonly reported.   Quite a lot of users are affected, but apparently not all. Or maybe they're just not letting Photoshop run long enough, or don't use these particular modules much.   I've been trying to draw attention to this many times, but I don't seem to be getting any traction, so I've resigned myself to it. Relaunching Photoshop returns everything to normal for a while, so it's not actually stopping you from using these modules. Just an inconvenience. Note that they still work correctly in actions, so it's not the underlying functionality - t's just that the interface doesn't come up..   This bug only exists in Photoshop 25.11 and later. Previous versions did not exhibit this. I keep 25.9 installed for time-critical projects. ... View more

Corrupt preferences can cause all kinds of strange and unpredictable behavior. The preferences file contains a lot more than your own user settings - it's the whole application configuration including lots of hidden parameters. It's complex. It's everything that has been modified since the virgin first launch.   Preferences are prone to corruption because they are rewritten on every application exit. An irregular shutdown, or interrupted shutdown sequence, can corrupt them.   Preferences are stored in your user account, not in the installed program files. An uninstall will not touch them, you have to manually delete it. ... View more

With the really wonderful lens blur simulation tool, I would really love to see other optical simulations such as halation to simulate film glow or blackmist lens filters.  Halation for those of you who don't know is a glow on bright light sources that spills further into the image. If you've ever had a foggy lens, that's sort of an extreme version of the effect. It creates a dreamy effect, and softens it while still retaining clarity (not quite sure how to properly describe it, but it's kind of a perfect meld of filmic softness and digital clarity).    It would be very useful to do this without having to use a filter, which is an additional piece of equipment and can effect exposure and focus, and is ultimately a "destructive" effect that you can't change in editing once you've shot with the filter.   It's possible to emulate this with a roundtrip to photoshop or other tools, but that's time consuming and is quite fiddly and takes up additional hard drive space with copies. I'd love to have it built into lightroom as another nondestructive tool with sliders to adjust things like the luminance threshold/curve, size and opacity of the blur to be able to create more stylised filmic images. ...
