“The quality of Photoshop wouldn’t be what it is today without our passionate and loyal customers around the world.”
Maybe we should stay quiet from now on then.
when will we see proper offline installer that let us choose the language?
offlien installer for ALL CC apps, not just PS and Lightroom?
it is unbelievable that adobe is not willing to provide offline installer. 🙁
You can find offline installers here:
Photoshop: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/uptodate.html#NotConnected
Lightroom: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/keeping-lightroom-up-to-date.html#Whatifmycomputerisnotconnecte…
Install location and language need to be set in the Creative Cloud application preferences prior to running the offline installer.
he wrote ALL APPS… not just PS and LR.
as you can see he is aware that there are offline installer for LR and PS.
I don’t product manage all products at Adobe. I do my best and have worked to provide direct downloads for the products under my purview.
how could I choose the language support for the downloaded app

This issue has not been resolved in the latest update:
Select and Mask: Using the Refine edge brush on one area of a pre-existing selection may cause certain hard edges in another area to change a few pixel values, especially when the image is in very high resolution
I am still getting this exact issue.
I’m HATING the Select and Mask update. HATING it. The refine edge brush is AWFUL
I am getting the same problem using the refine edge brush with random areas that have been selected being unselected and vice versa Really is useless
Ugh, same problem. Even when using channels to mask, it’s a mess. It seems S&M update is centered around fur and hair, for which i get ok results but everything else in the image becomes a mess. The tool should be reverted to the old Quick Selection + Refine-Edge and then add the new S&M as a tool to employ just for hair.
Scripting bugs has not been addressed pleas take a look at my bug reports..
Hi John, Thanks. I have a task to go through your reports with Eric, who troubleshot/reproed a recent report, later this week.
My Creative Cloud doesn’t show this update. I’m running 2015.5 and it says it’s current. So can the 5.1 update be downloaded? Or does someone with Adobe need to pull a trigger on CC for this?
Have you tried clicking the gear in the CC app and selecting “Check for app updates”?
Text related action bug still unresolved. Bug was submitted and reproduced. When you try to escape out of a running action while creating text (with dialog on), it will bug out and lock you in create text mode. Everything else is clickable but no response, action can no longer be cancelled via the stop button. Only way to get out of it is to force quit, losing any unsaved work.
Hi Tom, do you have a link to the bug report? I can look into the status.
Why doesn’t Creative Cloud see that there’s an update?
You’re on a Creative Cloud Team membership. It’s likely your Team administrator has disabled updates. Talk to your admin to release the update so you can install it.
Photoshop 17 instantly crashes/disappears when using TWAIN on El Capitan 10.11.6.
I have to go back to Photoshop 2015.1.2 to get my scanner working again.
Photoshop 17 is much bigger, slower (again: slower!) than previous version. It is less reliable. Please, Adobe: take more afford in testing your software. And please, please, please make the stuff a lot, lot, lot faster! (Latter is for Lightroom, too).
Hi Frank, what scanner do you have? Is the driver up to date? Does the standalone scanning software that came with the software work to scan by itself?
It is a Canon 9000F. Certainly current drivers and absolutely flawless with every application and also Photoshop up to 2015.1.2. As mentioned, Photoshop 17 is a bloated,terrible thing with less quality ans instabilities. When Photoshop completely crashes and disapears because of its TWAIN-interface, Photoshop developers missed a lot lessons about proper error handling – or better error avoiding.
I am so frustrated with every new iteration. More and more feature which are not really interesting an a most complete software. But every new version is worse: bigger, slower and less reliable. Why not developing for speed, stability and code optimization? it is really time for that.
Hi Frank, Have you submitted any Crash Reports along w/your email address?: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/submit-crash-reports.html This may help us track down what’s going wrong. I’m sorry you’re having trouble. This is the first report I’ve seen of crashing with scanning so it might be something specific to the TWAIN driver for that scanner:
From the Canon website, that scanner states: https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/scanners/support-scanners-canoscan-series/canoscan-9000f
OS Compatibility:
4 Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, Windows XP/2000 and Mac OS® X v10.4.11 to 10.6.x
Hi Jeffrey, thank for caring.
Don’t believe the product description. From your link there are new drivers for El Capitan just two clicks away. 😉
Sorry, the Crash Reporter didn’t not show up. Photoshop 17 (2015.5) really cashed and disappeared completely. Only the crash dialog of the OS X system come up and I pressed the button to to send those reports to Apple. I used the Adobe TWAIN plugin in the most recent version.
Now, I have PS 2015.1.2 with the same TWAIN plugin working again, without any flaws. I will only update again if I see the TWAIN bug fixed. I have currently no time to do additional experiments on my production system. Hope you find the bug, also for usable speed on a 5K iMac for PS and Lightroom.
I have the same scanner and the same problem. Now Adobe’s site says their Twain plug in does not work in 2015.5. what has changed so radically from 2015 to 2015.5 that we can’t use our scanners anymore?
> don’t forget to leave us feedback about your experiences. We are listening.
Smudge tool in 100% strength is broken since CS6, there’re many posts on feedback.photoshop, on Adobe forum and what? I’m glad that you’re listening but it’d be amazing if you actually do something on bugs that are 4+ years old
Where are the download releases of cc 2015.5.1 32-bit and 64bit windows???
https://helpx.adobe.com/de/photoshop/kb/uptodate.html#NotConnected
Content aware healing brush disappears into the background of certain colors becoming unuseable on 4K display.
The following fix:
“Rasterize EPS Format” dialogue box doesn’t remember Mode setting
should also be applied to place a smart object.
When dragging over multiple pdfs in an already open file for example, the crop to option always reverts to bounding box.
THANKS!
HI,
Was save for web fixed under macOS Sierra?
It still crashes every time on my machine.
Yes. We made a workaround for this issue in CC 2015.5.1.
Updated 2 computers to Photoshop CC 2015.5 yesterday (maybe 2015.5.1 – latest update) one computer works fine, the other computer quit launching photoshop all together. Been most of day with tech support trying to resolve to no avail. Any suggestions?
Do you get an error? Are you on Mac or Windows? What does the crash log say?
Error 116 –
Mac
Can you deal with this issue:

I’ve asked a libraries expert to take a look.
you should bring refine edge back then make select and mask as a separate feature i think it will be better than this force us to use this select and mask
Make a selection, click Select in the menu bar and shift-click Select and Mask: Refine Edge will pop up!
I second this ^^
When I open a new document it starts at 50% zoom instead of 100% as it used to do (on a non-retina screen attached to macbook pro).
When did this change happen? Is this a change from cc 2015.5.0?
What are the pixel dimensions of the file you are opening?
Is the non-retina screen your primary or secondary screen?
What is the pixel dimensions of the non-retina screen?
Are your documents tabbed or floating?
A screenshot of your primary and secondary screens when this occurs may help us to reproduce. Post more details on your issue here: http://phtshp.us/report_a_problem
Every time I try to update Photoshop to CC 2015.5.1. I get the error message “We are unable to write the registry value. Please check permissions. (Error Code: 160)”

We use AUSST 3.0 for update deployment. I started an incremental sync, but the udpate doesn’t appear. Any idea why?

Today I received some icc profiles back from my paper supplier after printing off profiler test charts and sending them to the paper supplier. The profiles were emailed to me with the following information at the top of the email:
“Lightroom (version 2015.6) or Photoshop CC (version 2015.5) have recently been announced as incompatible with colour management and ICC Profile usage owing to an update mistake by Adobe. Prints using this version will come out with very wrong colours and it cannot be corrected using these versions. The only way to truly fix this is to roll the programs back to a previous version.”
I tried printing using one of the new icc profiles via LR where the softproof image looked perfect and the printed image looked dull as if it were an underexposed image – nothing like the softproofed version. This has never happened before – up until today all prints were fine and icc profiles from the same company used.
It seems there is an issue with the Adobe software and I cannot find any information or discussion about it anywhere. I wonder, Adobe are you reading this?
Both PS and Lightroom have been updated (Lightroom CC 2015.6.1 & Photoshop CC 2015.5.1) that correct the color management issue.
For all MAC Users running Mac OS X SIERRA just wait for the FIX is on the way for PRINTING Problem
