One of the silent frustrations of Adobe Creative Cloud is Typekit (Adobe Fonts) sync issues. Previous 2024 builds would frequently lose font activation when waking a computer from sleep. With 25.9.1, the background font service has been rebuilt. The result? Instantaneous font syncing across Illustrator and Photoshop, with zero "Missing Fonts" pop-ups when reopening a project saved 24 hours earlier.

If you have been avoiding the 2024 update because of horror stories about the early builds, It represents the most stable, secure, and performant version of Photoshop available today.

Significant RAM and GPU memory usage has been noted, particularly when using Camera Raw. Users suggest keeping memory allocation at or below 60% in preferences to avoid system choking.
