@EConklin    The reason that you were only seeing JPEG2000 was likely that you had a 16 BPC file.   Standard JPEG only supports a flattened image (no floating layers), 8 BPC, no alpha channels. If the current file doesn’t meet this criteria, then one has to Save a Copy, or enable Legacy Save As in your File Handling Preferences/Settings.   Although JPEG2000 is better than JPEG, it never gained widespread adoption and acceptance by various industry bodies and consumer software developers, which was the key to it's success or failure. ...

I haven't experienced any real lag in Photoshop on my three Windows 11 systems under conditions similar to what is being described. I don't think the problem is necessarily Photoshop. The systems have varying hardware. One is an i7 9700k with 64GB of 3200MHz DDR4, a 1TB 970 Pro and a 6GB 1060. The second is a Threadripper 2950x with 128GB of 3200MHz DDR4, 2 1TB 970 Pros (scratch) and a 2TB Aorus (boot), and two RTX2080s. The third is a Threadripper 3955wx with 256GB of 3200MHz DDR4, 2TB FireCuda 530 (boot) 8x2TB FireCuda 530 RAID10 array (programs), 400GB P DC5800x (scratch) and a 6.4TB D7-P5620 (backup), with an RTX3090ti. ...

See Ged's post above.   The only way to free up one of your two activation slots is to deactivate one of the previous.   That was always the case, but the difference now is that Adobe will no longer reset activations if you have used up both and you can't access the old installation(s). ...

Update:   I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the suite, but there must have been some file (that didn't get uninstalled/deleted) that remembered my settings/preferences, because Photoshop, Illustrator and AE were all pinned back in my Start menu as if nothing had happened. And as you might have gussed, I was still getting that activation limit message. I uninstalled the suite again using the option in Apps in my PC settings, then spent some time hunting down all Adobe files on my drive and manually getting rid of everything that hadn't been caught by the uninstall. After that I disconnected my ethernet connection, and only then reinstalled the suite. As soon as it was reinstalled, I opened up Kaspersky and blocked access to the internet for all Adobe apps/files etc. in my firewall settings. I then tried opening Photoshop, Illustrator and AE... and they worked just fine. No activation message. ... View more

Update 20250217 I ve now upgraded both the PC, SD card and the cardreader. Today it takes me 30-45 sec, to import 200 rawfiles. USB 3 is truly a lot faster and in combination with Sandisk Extreme PRO 200MB/s it works flawless. Renderingtimes in photoshop, lightroom classic and Topaz photo is down 90-95% compared to the old setup. Importing 200 pictures isnt a problem anymore. The AMD is stable and both the RAM, SSD and GPU is more than enough for my needs today and will hopfully last at least 5 more years.  ... View more

The bag is not supposed to be red! 😅 You can see its actual color in Layer 0.

I just wanted to followup on my previous post regarding the remove tool working for me.  I have had mixed success with the remove tool.  After seeing the post about using presure sensitivity on the tool I will try making sure I've got that setting set to use pressure sensitivity.   I am really frustrated with the lack of support from Adobe on this seamingly insignificant problem that can be a massive inconvenience.   ...

Thanks for the info @creative explorer. I acknowledge that switching to a newer version of PS would eliminate the dialog.

Well said. I'm sick of the AI prompts in Adobe as well. I used to know my way around this program. Now it seems like nothing works, even the highlighter or Search function. Please back off! By @defaultx2rt2vc67wfn I don’t understand what you mean.  Generative Fill, Generate Image, Generative Expand … all seem to be optional, so there is no need to use them if one prefers not to.    Which »Highlighter« are you referring to?  What problem are you experiencing with the »Search function«?  Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible to illustrate?  ...

Does not seem like it, there has been no official response here and the issue still occurs. It may be because the issue was not tagged as a bug that it doesn't get the attention of staff, if it's just a discussion then it's between community members? Unsure. In any case, no fix. ... View more

Were you definitely trying to import them as brushes (.abr) and not another type of preset (shape, gradient, pattern, style).   I hate actually installing presets, because you lose control of the process.  Much better to download the files and place them in the appropriate preset folder.  In fact I go a step further, and keep then in a (Windows) My Documents folder, and place a shortcut to that folder in the preset folder.  This keeps them safe from major update issues (we get a lot of posts fropm people who have lost the brush presets after an update) and makes it easier to share one set of presets between the Release and Beta versions.   https://helpx.adobe.com/nz/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html   ...

While we do have controls to hide the New Layer option in menus, there is no way to customize which buttons appear in panels such as Layers. If you are missing these and resetting preferences (which may cause this sort of behavior through corruption) doesn't help, I'd guess you are on a controlled machine. You mention working with IT, so I'm guessing you are in a corporate, government, or educational environment. This feature may have been taken away at some higher level and, if that is the case, this may not be something we would be able to help you with from this end.  ... View more
