I tried looking up your crash report but didn't find any. Are you using a different email when submitting the report than you use for your account here on the forums?    Based on the information provided, it just seems that you are pushing beyond the memory capabilities of the environment. This could mean that you need a larger hard drive, more RAM, fewer applications running in the background, etc. Without more information, I can't be more definite. Can you provide your system info report from Photoshop's Help menu? That would at least let us better understand your environment. What can you tell us about the files you are working with other than they are PSB? How many layers? What are the pixel dimensions (when you start, before trying to change Image Size)? What is the size of the file on disk? What is the file size once it has been opened?  ... View more

When you define a pattern, its size is set to the number of pixels you have selected. When applied to different images with the brush or other tools, it will be relative to that document's dimensions. If you select an area that is 100x100 pixels in a 200x200 image, stamping back into that same image will be pretty big. But if you stamp into a 1000x1000 image, it will be much smaller. In terms of quality, it is an exact copy of your original material, so if that was print worthy, your pattern stamp will be as well.   Basically, the Pattern Stamp Tool works similarly to the Clone Stamp Tool, but uses a permanently saved sample rather than one which exists temporarily in the clipboard. That is why they are nested together in the Tools panel by default and share the same tool icon.   Unfortunately, it's a pretty simple tool with very few controls. It doesn't have any of the additional options that Clone Stamp provides to modify scale, orientation, etc. To have any ability to manipulate your pattern, you can use a Pattern Fill Layer and then use masking to emulate how the Pattern Stamp would brush in the pattern. This will provide you with options to change the angle and scale of your pattern so that it may better fit with your new documents.  ... View more

Thanks for these links. The issue is pretty clear from that first post: When using the Import PDF dialog, the Image Size Width and Height have a maximum value of 32000 pixels.    This value would, of course, be the product of the pdf document dimensions and the Resolution. The default Resolution is 300 with Inches as the measure. Which means with 106.666" you would end up at 32000 pixels. To get higher dimensions you have to reduce the resolution.   The distortion would seem to occur because the Import PDF dialog allows dimensions to change non-proportionally. And when one dimension maxes out when increasing size, the other one can continue to change independently.  If both dimensions are maximized by the size change, you would end up with a distored, square document.   My team doesn't work on this part of Photoshop, so there is plenty I don't know, but my guess is this dialog is extremely old, which is why the pixel limit is so low compared to what Photoshop is capable of. When I was attempting to replicate the issue, I was just placing the PDF directly into a new document sized to what I wanted to work with. This workflow does not run into this same sort of issue, so it is a good workaround. I'll reach out to the team responsible, though, and see what more we can learn. ... View more

I'm not sure what you mean about the %. Could you provide screen shots?    The basics are that if you place an object in Photoshop, it should be sized to fit in the document. If the document is larger than the object, the object will come in at 100%. If the document isn't large enough, it will be reduced so that it fits within the document bounds.    This size relationship can also be influenced by the document settings (dimensions as well as resolution) in relationship to the source document. If the documents are really sized to each other, the behavior may not come out as expected.   But it's hard to say what's happening without more detailed information.  ... View more

Photoshop has a pixel limit of 300k, not 30k. Not sure why you'd run into an issue with 107" documents unless the dpi results in a higher pixel count than Photoshop will work with.   I'm not able to reproduce on my end.  I created a PDF that is 110" wide and was able to place it into a document which was 115" wide and it came in without issue. I used a DPI of 300.    Can you share your PDF so I can test on my end?  ... View more

While Myriad is the font which is selected in a fresh install, when you haven't yet changed to something else yet, Photoshop doesn't really have a default setting for the typeface. Like most tool options in Photoshop, the font is "sticky." This means it remembers whatever the last setting was. Change it to Arial? All new text boxes will be Arial until you change it to something else. Photoshop doesn't pull in information from other applications regarding font styling. It just applies the last used settings. ... View more

Does the stylus not work at all within Photoshop? Or are you missing some of the more advanced features like pressure, tilt, rotation, etc? For whatever is not working in PS, are these same features working outside of PS?   My best guess is what you are experiencing is simply a limitation of the touch screen, it doesn't matter what stylus you use. Full feautres of stylus use often requires feeback between the stylus and the surface in order to for these features to work. Like you can't just use a stylus on the surface of your desk, it requires a tablet so that the two will communicate with each other to create the interaction. Similarly, if your touch screen is not communicating with the stylus, some features may not work.  ... View more

Unfotunately, this is a limitation of the Type tool and always has been.   When you have a type layer active, you are in what is referred to as a "modal state." This is where you are locked into the current task, you can't interact with anything else until you've finished. That's why clicking outside of the text box either doesn't work or applies and closes your current edit. Basically, editing text is like being inside a dialog box.   You may notice in the History panel that new history states are not added as you edit your text, it only updates once you apply your current edits. So Ctrl+Z is undoing all of the edits that are currently on the stack and going back to the last save state of the layer. Just like clicking Cancel in a dialog box, it is clearing out all of the most recent, unsaved changes since the dialog was opened.    If you are typing out something complicated that requires undo instead of simpler editing, like backspace or delete, it may be best to type it out in an application which better specializes in word processing. You can then copy and paste into your text layer. Illustrator and InDesign have more robust tools for managing type.  ... View more

When you close Photoshop it saves all of your current settings into the preferences. It seems PS is trying to save some document settings as a preset. This is referring to the options you have in the New Document window. If you go to the "Saved" tab in this dialog, do you have items listed here that you have not saved in the past? If you aren't trying to create presets, see if you can delete anything here to clear them out.    The more thorough option is to reset the application preferenses. See the following for more information: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset-preferences ... View more

Other than uninstallation of the application, I can't think of one instance of Photoshop removing a folder. Even when you specify that PS should remove files from your disk, such as when you reset the preferences, no folders are removed. You can even create new folders within the Photoshop directory and PS will leave them alone. So, most likely, the removal of these folders is coming from outside of PS itself.    Maybe a bit more information may help here though. Where are the pattern folders you are referring to? The two I would think of are those with Photoshop itself (stores the defaults) and those in your personal preference directory (for custom presets).  ... View more

As with any performance settings, you end up giving up performance in one area to gain it somewhere else. You are never removing work which needs to be done, just determining when and how it is done. The optimal settings are determined by the types of work you are doing, some of that is characterized by the composition of your file and also what tools you use. So a little more context may help here.   Memory Usage: This determines the size of the Scratch Disk file that gets created when Photoshop is launched. This is a tempory file which acts as additional RAM. When you increase this setting, you are choosing for PS to launch more slowly while it creates a bigger file. When you decrease, while the launch is faster, the slowdown will happen later when PS needs to increase the size of the file on the fly because the work you are doing requires additional space. This takes longer to do once PS is up and running which is why the default is so high. If you know you are doing high memory work, keep this value up. If you are working with small files, keep it low.    History States: Obviously, this is the number of Undo's you can do. But remember, in order for Photoshop to remember all those document states, it is storing another full copy of your file in memory (RAM/Scratch Disk). This is absolutely the largest memory hog you will encounter. If you are working with very large files, you'll want to keep this value lower.    Cache Levels: This is used for zooming in and out of your image. It pre-caches your image at different resolutions so that PS can quickly go from where you are to another zoom. The first is always whatever your current view is. If you have it set to only 1, it means every time you zoom in or out, PS has to re-write the entire file to memory for that size. For every one you add, a new level of zoom is memorized (in RAM/Scratch Disk) so that the change in magnification is sped up. The trade off is: higher levels will cause PS will take longer to open files to create the caches and take up a bunch of memory, while lower levels take up less memory but has to redraw the file more often.    Tile Size: Because the display has to be refeshed when you make a change, PS divides files into chuncks. That way when you make an edit, you don't have to redraw the whole image. If you are doing full document edits (filters, adjustments, and the like) then you want to have larger tiles, that way PS is redrawing fewer tiles overall. If you are doing more descreet edits (ie small brush strokes), you want to use smaller tile sizes, because only the tiles that the brush touches will get redrawn. ... View more

As Bojan mentions, we'll need more information in order to provide any assistance. How are you saving/export? What settings? Can you provide screen shots of the Photoshop interface?    Based on what can be seen in your screen shot, it looks like anti-aliasing has been disabled in your text layer. You can check this setting by selecting it in your Layers panel. Then, in the Properties panel, expand the Character section by clicking the three dots (...) in the lower right. The anti-aliasing (aa) drop-down will be right above that. You can also see the setting in the tool options bar at the top when you have the Type tool selected, between Size and the alignment options.    The default is Sharp, so if you see something else, try changing back to this, especially if None is currently selected.  ...

Google translate:  BUGGED UPDATE, I CANNOT OPEN PHOTOSHOP Good morning, I'm having trouble opening Photoshop. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it again, but it still hasn't resolved it.

Because it is just the one video file, you only have to do it once and it will apply to all layers.    Interesting that you are getting this error when trying to reconnect. I was seeing this same error when attempting to work with your PSDs and video file on Windows, but I don't see this error when working on Mac. MOV is a Mac native format, so the OS has more support for these files. I was guessing there might be a codec used in the file which is not installed on Win by default and results in issues when the file is demuxed for editing. Since you've worked with this file in the past, I was guessing you had the necessary components installed.   But knowing that you are seeing the same error on your end made me dig deeper. Checking older versions of Photoshop I don't see the same error. It seems like there might have been a recent change in Photoshop that is not allowing it to work with your file. I'll investigate further and let you know. ... View more

Thank you for the video file. On my end all 4 of your PSD files work just fine once I relink.    The bahaviors you describe just sound like what happens when a linked object has lost its connection to the source file. Since I'm forced to link to the file each time I open it, since I don't have the same folder structure built out on my end, it may be getting passed the issue. It could be that when the file was saved originally that something happened and the embedded folder path was corrupted in some way and when you open it, it thinks the link is OK so there is no error, but it isn't reading from the folder correctly and thus is not able to provide the rest of the video frames or audio on playback.    One thing to try is to force a relink to the source file. With the video layer selected, go to Layer > Video Layers > Replace Footage... Then just selected the same file. If you end up in a location other than where the file is stored, then that would verfy it is looking in the wrong location and you should be able to choose the correct location and update the file.  ...

We don't have enough information to suggest whether or not a previous version would operate any differently. Generally, newer versions are better than older versions. There is certainly the possiblity that a new bug was introduced in a update, but this is less likely than there being bug fixes added to prevent this. Only crash reports will tell us anything with more certanty. There are two types of crash reports you may be asked to submit, one from the OS and one from Photoshop. When the Photoshop one appears you should also see the OS one. If you only see one report submission, it would likely only be the OS and we don't get those reports. In such circumstances, it would also suggest that the OS is forcing Photoshop to close and we would not have much to work with on our end. The main difference between the two reports is that the Photoshop report will have a separate field asking for your email address. Make sure you fill that part in, we can then pull your reports and get more information about what is occurring.  ... View more

The reason Maximize Compatibility files are larger is because Photoshop saves a flattend JPG version of the file into your file. This is used as a sort of thumbnail for any uses of the file which might not be compatible, such as using the file in other applications, older versions of Photoshop (that don't support the features that might be used to create the file), or other potential situations.    Looking at what is present in the new files verses the old files, the thumbnails of the layers are different as are the starting frames. This can lead to different compression settings for these graphics and thus a change in the size of the file overall.    But aside from these types of minor differences, all four files look and act the same on my end.

What you describe certainly sounds like the default behavior of the Gradient tool. There are settings that can be changed which can result in different behaviors which may be more in line with your expectations and likely you had enabled previously but they were reset back to default.    The first to look at is whether you were previously using the new Gradent tool or the Classic gradient tool. The new one has the on-canvas widget which allows you to dynamically create and modify your gradient with on screen controls. The Classic just lays the pixels on the canvas with no way to change it once it's been created.    Second, is your gradient using transparency? If not, any time you redraw your gradient it will lay down fresh pixels which will completely cover what you had before. If you use transparency though, the transparent parts of the gradient will allow the under portions of previous gradients to show through.   Third, similar to transparency, if you are working with Classic gradient, you can change the Blend Mode (the Mode drop-down). This causes the gradient you apply to compare it's pixels to those which are already present and change their behavior based different characteristics. This could allow you to build up a look through multiple applications.    Hopefully one of these is what you are looking for.  ... View more
