Unable to import Lightroom desktop photos in Photoshop Importing photos from Lightroom desktop to the Photoshop home screen — JPEG, HEIC, TIFF, PNG, and PSD files, may require masks to be recomputed in Adobe Camera Raw for the edits to show properly. Sometimes, the masks may not be recovered in their original form.	If Adobe Camera Raw is unable to recover masks in your Lightroom desktop photos, you can: Export photos from Lightroom to your local machine. Use the export menu in Lightroom and select Edit in Photoshop.
Unable to browse in Bridge from Photoshop Bridge does not launch when you click File > Browse In Bridge option from within Photoshop.	As a workaround, do the following: Uninstall Bridge and Photoshop from your machine. Rename the below-mentioned DB folders: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\caps Install both Bridge and Photoshop again which you uninstalled in Step 1. You can also try switching to Bridge from Photoshop using Alt+Tab keys. However, this is not supported on Mac ARM.

Adobe Camera Raw errors

Issue	Solution
Select People and Select Objects masks are not working on some versions of Photoshop.	Install Photoshop 23.5 or later. Select People and Select Objects features require Photoshop version 23.5 or later to work as expected. See Update Creative Cloud apps.
Unexpected crash while using Select People mask on macOS version 12 devices with less than 2GB VRAM.	To minimize the chances of a crash, upgrade your device configuration to more than 2GB VRAM. For more details, see Crash on using the Select People mask.
[Win] Photoshop 23.4 and 23.4.1 crash on launch or exit or after using the Camera Raw filter.	Update the Camera Raw version to 14.4.1, available via the Creative Cloud Desktop App. For help, see the Camera Raw plug-in installer.
Select Object does not include the edge of a photo.	The Camera Raw team is aware of this issue and is actively working on resolving it.

Other known issues

Issue	Workaround
Rulers not visible After updating to the February 2023 update of Photoshop 24.2, rulers and guides are not visible. For reference, see this community thread.	As a workaround, follow the steps below: Enable Preferences > Technology Previews > Deactivate Native Canvas. Enable Use Older GPU Mode (pre 2016) in Technology Previews. Restart Photoshop.
(macOS) Pattern Preview does not work Pattern Preview does not work when Deactivate Native Canvas is enabled in Photoshop. For reference, see this community thread.	As a workaround, go to Preferences > Technology Previews and disable Deactivate Native Canvas. Restart Photoshop.
Unable to import .sky files (Win only) When the Sky Replacement is open, dragging a .sky file into an empty spot in the tab margin does not trigger the import. The import works on macOS but not on Windows.	As a workaround, you can do any of the following to import a .sky package into a Windows system: Dropping the .sky file onto the empty window in Photoshop should trigger the import of sky presets from the file. If there are open documents, dropping the .sky file onto an empty spot in the tab margin should trigger the import. If there are open documents, dropping the .sky file onto an open document should trigger the import. If Photoshop is closed, dropping the .sky file onto the Photoshop icon should launch the app, and then trigger the import.
Error at loading of ippCV library When you launch Photoshop 2021 (v22.x) you see one of the following errors: Error at loading of ippCV library. error: (-215:Assertion failed)	Starting with Photoshop 22.0, you will no longer be able to install Photoshop on machines that do not support SSE v4.2 or later. Install Photoshop 2020 (v21.x) on computers with older CPUs that don't support SSE v4.2 or later. See Install previous versions of your Creative Cloud apps. Photoshop 2021 (v22.x) requires a CPU that supports SSE 4.2 or later. To determine if your CPU meets this SSE version support requirement, see Photoshop's Help > System Info dialog and look in or near the 4th line: e.g. Adobe Photoshop Version: 22.0.0 20200921.m.1053 2020/09/21: 0fb66349f4 x64 Number of Launches: 6 Operating System: Mac OS 10.15.5 System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:14, Stepping:3 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, HyperThreading If you are unable to open Photoshop but want to identify the SSE version using an Intel utility, see Using Intel identification utility.
KBSC (introduced in Photoshop 20.0) to erase while using the Brush tool doesn't work with a German keyboard since there is no Tilde-key beneath the Escape key on a German keyboard.	If you want to use this KBSC, switch system language to English, switch Photoshop language to English, and use an English-default keyboard.
Unable to view presets in the Adjustments panel To view the new presets in the Adjustments panel, you may be required to relaunch Photoshop twice.	The Photoshop team is aware of this issue and is actively working on resolving it.
Remove tool creates black smudge Black smudge happens when the integrated GPU becomes device 0, which usually happens on laptops when the power cord is unplugged.	Either plug in the power cord of the machine. Or go to turn off the power saving mode for the device. Apple Menu > System settings > Battery > Options > Disable Automatic graphics switching Apple Support: Set graphics performance on MacBook Pro Environment: MacBook Pro with integrated graphics card (e.g., Intel UHD Graphics 630/AMD Radeon Pro 5500M,5600M, 555X, 560X) Restart your machine after changing the battery settings.
Remove Tool: Customer sees "Unable to use this tool at this time" Doesn't work in MacOS, all that happens is "Unable to use this tool at this time".	Go to Users > Username > Library > Application Support. See a folder called, “com.adobe.dunamis”. Check your user permission. Make sure the user permission assigned is read + write. The Remove tool should work now.
Support for importing, manipulating, or exporting Acrobat files with 3D layers (including PRC and IGES formats) is now removed from Photoshop. Any actions that interact with PRC or IGES content will now fail with an error message: "Could not complete the command because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."	Files including linked or embedded PRC or IGES formatted content may still be opened in Photoshop, but the formerly 3D layer will be handled as a regular pixel layer.

As of July 2024, Photoshop’s legacy 3D features have been removed. However, now in the Photoshop (beta) app you can seamlessly add 3D objects to your 2D Photoshop design using the Adobe Substance 3D Viewer (beta) app. Click here for more details.
