I posted this a bit ago and got no answers, then searched further into lightroom discussions and noted it's been requested since 2017. The sync feature of lightroom is very sloppy, all or nothing. It's essentially impossible to use different devices to work on select projects for this reason. Example problems: - I wanted to upload some favorite pictures on my phone to a folder on the cloud in lightroom, and then work on them on my computer. I can't do that without first downloading 7000 pictures that are already on my cloud to my phone. - I wanted to to download onto my phone a specific folder to work on that I'd sorted on my computer. I can't do that without first downloading 7000 pictures that are already on my cloud. Solution: Allow a "manually sync this folder only" feature and a "manually sync this album only" feature. For a program that costs so much and is designed and advertised and priced as a high-end editing program, it sure lacks some basic features. Doubt I'll renew without this fix.

Nice! You could also use generate assets, but we digress from the original point of how silly a 7-step quality slider is 🙂

Forgive me for being pragmatic and trying to help. :]
Adobe introduced this for whatever reason when they created Export As/Quick Export and it is what it is I'm afraid. They are aware that it isn't loved by end users. Export As is an unfinished project as far as I'm concerned as it stands, let alone throwing out the entire JPEG export code and starting from scratch again.

@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.

Hey, @Maryann38811831e6ie. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. You commented on an ancient thread, and since then, Photoshop has had 8 years of updates and upgrades.
Please feel free to start a new conversation with pertinent information, or check these recent conversations related to file corruption/unexpected artifacts in Photoshop: https://adobe.ly/3F6vTEv;

There is a better answer... Illustrator adds IDs not classes to objects. BUT There are 2 workarounds: 1- Name your Layer then target objects on that layer using #LayerName g. This will target any groups on that layer. 2- When Illustrator sees 2 objects with identical IDs it will dynamically apend a unique string to the ID name eg #Layername_8798..89798. You can treat these in the same way you can a CSS class by using wildcard selectors: eg. [id^="LayerName"]. This will target any ID beginning with "LayerName"

@ArtisticCook people still use XD...likely security updates and maybe a minor change...there is no documentation on what those changes are. 😞

@Dan Rodney kinda agree and kinda don't agree... we are still getting asked by companies looking for Xd creatives.... as I tell my students, if companies still use Xd, take the job.... it's better than no job
or this one:
Yes, I agree with Figma.... but, a job is a job. Both paid well. And they can also convert them into Figma down the road!

Yes it's normal to not see files. You're choosing a folder that contains files, not files themselves.

XD does not use points, it uses pixels.
If you're viewing a desktop design on a desktop at 100% zoom, 17 px in XD should match 17 px in CSS.
For mobile devices you'd have to figure out the correct zoom level (it's not 100%).
It sounds to me more like the issue is your zoom level not being correct in XD, more so than an actual XD to CSS issue.

Leave them as RGB. Read this entire discussion and if you still have questions start a new discussion. You will get far more help than adding your comments to an old discussion.
I'm going to lock this to avoid further confusion.

Just for those who are having a similar problem. Look at the layers panel and you might find that the layer you're working on is set to dissolve. Switch back to normal, could be all you need to do. x

Same here, hence I am here. It is isn't a rule, some do get enambled, some don't. So I am wondering, is it faulty copyright or something? PS: Remember to check the name, ocassionally the files are renamed.

Hi @cheerful_gem00684! Is the issue still persisting in version 26.1 of Photoshop?
If the Remove tool in Photoshop still won't initialize, it might be because some components need to be downloaded from Adobe's servers. Here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:
Check Internet Connection: Ensure your computer is connected to the Internet, as the required components need to be downloaded.
Free Up Disk Space: The feature components require between 0.5 GB to 1 GB of disk space. Make sure you have enough free space available.
Change Preferences: Go to Preferences > Image Processing and select the More Stable option for Remove Tool Processing.
If the problem persists, consider using the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to resolve installation issues. Let me know how it goes, thank you! Alek

Has anyone figured out a fix for this? It keeps happening unexpectedly while I'm drawing. No caps lock on, no other keys being pressed. Driving me nuts because it's difficult to get it to switch back to brush tool.

So 2025 version of Photoshop is still not respecting the full specification of PNG with 8-bit tranparency. WORSE...2025 under Rosetta (on a Mac) doesn't support ANY "Export As.." options. The feature is broken. A very unsettling session with customer support that wanted to share computer access lead to a stream of "sudo" permission requests. DON'T upgrade to 2025 if you need the legacy export options. Export works in native mode on Macs...but the PNG issue remains.

Yes, other (somewhat newer) topics traced this glitch to ligature issues. IIRC it was font-specific, indicating some variation in the glyph mapping or overall kerning metrics for some fonts.
It's avoidable by not using FXL. 🙂

Hi @ray_3521,
Thanks for reaching out, and I'm sorry you're experiencing this issue. I understand how frustrating this can be, especially when you've already paid for the service.
Could you let us know when the issue started? Was it working fine before, or is this the first time you're encountering the error? Also, are you facing this issue with other Creative Cloud apps or only with InDesign?
In the meantime, please check this guide for troubleshooting: [Activation network issues](https://adobe.ly/3XZQzDH). It provides a step-by-step process to resolve connection and activation issues.
If the problem persists, we’ll explore other options. Let us know how it goes!
Thanks, Abhishek Rao

@oleh_3997 Number one, please log out in both platforms, and just log into the 'work one'...like you, I also have two Adobe Accounts...it's confusing. Since your screen shot shows Xd, you are essentially have it. So, log back into the adobe.com with your work email.... https://www.adobe.com/apps/all/all-platforms see the 'orange' u .... scroll all the way down
until you see Xd:
*NOTE: If by chance you don't see it at the bottom, you may need to wait at least 24 hours. I have read here some people had to wait between 48 hours to 72 hours.... my students have been able to see the 'Install' button within 24 hours after logging in, and yes, we also have the 'Adobe for Enterprise,' and my personal one also shows for 'Adobe for Teams too

Adobe XD is great for newbies. Figma is also good. Both tools are good. Ultimately its up to you which one you choose. I suggest to review design of some sites or apps, and practice them on both tools. This way, you get a good idea of both the tools.

@defaultr24gg1c4krwi with XD in 'Maintenance Mode,' there will be no longer any NEW developments any time soon. The only thing that will get updates is the "Security Patches' — honestly, don't hold your breath on that one. You would be better off to start learning Figma though.
