Learn how to work with the MacBook Pro Touch Bar in Photoshop.
Photoshop supports Touch Bar, the multitouch display at the top of the new MacBook Pro keyboard. Using the Touch Bar, you can access Photoshop features and controls right in the context of your current task on the main screen. The Touch Bar supports familiar gestures, such as tap, drag, and slide.
Touch Bar support in Photoshop is currently a technology preview feature.
For more information about Touch Bar fundamentals, see this Apple documentation page.
By default, a part of the Touch Bar interface is reserved for macOS system controls. Controls for Photoshop are displayed in the app-specific area in the middle of the Touch Bar interface.
A. Photoshop controls B. macOS system controls (Control Strip and Esc)
If necessary, you can configure the Touch Bar to display only app-specific controls. In this configuration, the middle and right parts of the Touch Bar interface (B on the right + A) display Photoshop controls. To do so, in the macOS System Preferences > Keyboard dialog, select Touch Bar Shows: App Controls.
Tap the icon in the Touch Bar to choose one of the three available modes:
Layer Properties
() Default mode; lets you work with Layer properties and related functions
Brushes
() Lets you work with Brush and paint properties
Favorites
() Customizable mode to which you can add your favorite controls
In addition to the commands available in the three modes, several context-specific operations become available depending on what you're working on in Photoshop.
Default Mode | Icon | Control name | Description |
---|---|---|---|
All three | ![]() |
History Scubber | Works much like the History panel in Photoshop. Use this control to jump to any recent state of the document created during the current session. Each time you apply a change to the document, a new document state is added. Tap the History Scrubber icon to view thumbnails representing document states. Scroll through or tap the thumbnails to navigate the document history. For related useful information, see Using the History panel. |

* You can add these controls to the Touch Bar modes by customizing them.
Photoshop provides three settings for the Touch Bar under Preferences > Technology Previews. These settings are enabled by default.
Enable Touch Bar
Enables/disables the Touch Bar while working in Photoshop
Show Touch Bar Property Adjustments
Shows/hides the informational pop-up windows displayed when you modify properties, such as Brush Size, using the Touch Bar
You can add and delete commands to any of the three Touch Bar modes in Photoshop. Follow these steps:
Select the Touch Bar mode to which you want to add or remove items: Layer Properties, Brushes, or Favorites.
In Photoshop, select View > Customize Touch Bar.
Photoshop invokes the standard macOS interface for customizing the Touch Bar. For more information about this interface, see "Customize your Touch Bar" on this Apple documentation page.
Drag commands down into the Touch Bar, toward the bottom edge of your MacBook Pro's main display. You can also drag commands within the Touch Bar to arrange them, or drag them up and out of the Touch Bar to remove them.
When you're modifying the Touch Bar, the icon (Space) indicates an empty slot where you can add a command.
When you've finished making changes, click Done.
macOS takes you back to Photoshop.
