Window capture issue

[Gizzer87]

Hello, I have in OBS Photoshop window source (window capture) but I can't see any Photoshop menu, no panels, no right-click menu, choosing color etc. Is there any solution except Display capture please?

Could you send a screenshot of your obs please ? I don't really understand your problem.

Try right cliciking on the source and select INTERACT..
That will allow you to right click etc. on the source.

This is the problem: https://youtu.be/o3mNlQiwGcQ (Photoshop on the left, OBS on the right). I have classic OBS and Streamlabs OBS - both the same problem.

That will allow you to right click etc. on the source.

"Interact" is grey, I can't click on that.

Photoshop seems to use overlay windows for creating the app appearance, which cannot be captured by OBS. OBS only captured the main window, not the overlay parts. Display capture is the only workaround.

This may be due to the fact that photoshop itself and the different tools (color palet, etc.) are different windows.
In this case, you would have to add other sources that would capture the other windows.
If that's not what I don't really understand what's going on, sorry.

These "overlay windows" are not the usual app or dialog windows. They cannot be explicitly found or selected for capture, they are internal. As I wrote: the only way to capture these kind of app is display capture.

By the way, window capture will never capture any popup menu or main menu, in almost no app. In almost all apps, these are created as tiny windows overlaid on top of the usual app surface. This is not specific to Photoshop. The only exception is when the app is "painting" the menu within the main window. Most games do it this way with their ingame menus.
