You have several options when importing a layered Photoshop file into After Effects. Do you need a single flattened image, or all your editable layers and layer styles? What's the difference between "Footage," "Composition," and "Composition - Retain Layer Sizes?" Do you w...

hey can someone help me photoshop some pics please
Whats the thing?

Show
the white one to replace the one with the fire
Yes
what brush should i use for making lines like these
Not too bad for a 6 minute job.
I would say any clean ink that has a bit of jitter. Try for example Guelf in the ink section of Kyle's brushes

Hey everyone. Would you please like to guide me on this How do I fit in the canvas in portrait form like this in wacom one tab photoshop version of 2024 paid version. I'm a beginner so would you please like to guide me everyone step by step which particular size do I have to keep to make it fit in the space?
why i have this white lines around rocket? and how i can delete them
I've seen these rendering lines appear sometimes on PDFs that later won't show up on the printed document.
However, they're usually always and straight lines/angles.
This suggests to me that there's genuinely an issue with the rocket image.
What is it? A vector icon? What did you use to make the PDF?
I don't really understand the question. Are you asking how to change your canvas into a portrait shape?
The resolution of a wacom one tab is 1080 x 1920
So I assume you'd want a canvas size to match?
under the rocket is black circle to hide stars around rocket but when i deleted it its fixed, but then stars show up
Did you try giving it a black outline?
no but ill try

Guys is there any easy way to turn this image head into an simple logo?
Like simple "vector" image lines or something...
Simple vector lines... or something. In under 2 mins. :)
Oh okay thank u ... that kind of helped THX

Kind of? What is it that you are asking for then?
No its alr thank you ...
You can also posterize it. Then take it to Adobe Illustrator and use Trace Bitmap. There is more control over the vector lines in that app. Your choice.
Good luck with it.
Thanks 🤜 🤛
If you want a simple "line drawing" you can either trace it out by hand or use an AI algorithm to try and give you something. However, tracing it is going to require a lot of time and care. Using AI is going to require tools, knowledge and experimentation.
yeah i meant something like this... but dont worry i'll use ur method that u showed in the vid... I'll "play" with it a little bit and it should be fine
That is going to require you to trace out the contours by hand. There is no "automatic" method other than trying to use some AI to analyze the image and attempt to give you "something." Although, it might not be what you want.
wdym trace by hand?...
Get Brush. Draw shape.
u know some AIs perhaps?
Try Adobe Firefly. Experiment with the Structure and Style References.
alright ... thx for tips & tricks
This way might require considerable time and experimentation to get it right.
😅
um... i think i did something wrong
alright im getting somewhere
okay i got what i wanted just gonna edit it a little bit ... thank you for ur help @ripe quest

Hi, in the future, remember to post an image in the style you are after, it’ll guide the helpers, and give you better results.
ok
If you use an image Style Reference, just be mindful of the settings. It can influence the content/composition. Sometimes in undesirable ways.
i already have what i was looking for thx
Thank you for doing a video 😁

quick question...
why when my image is B&W its nice clean and cute but when i change the color of it it looks a bit wierd?
Hi, I wanna ask on how to make this exact glass breaking effect or something similar to it without having to resort to presets???
or is it because of the darker background?
can i dm you?
guys where and how do you guys do your mockups?
it's exhausting trying to get mockups that integrate well with branding
some are good but don't have enough different angles, others are just really unconvincing
If I need something specific, I make them with Dimension (a very basic yet efficient 3D software). If you're proficient in a "proper" 3D software then by all means this is even better!
That kind of things can be done with Dimension
Is there free Photoshop CS6?
No. It was discontinued by Adobe a long time ago.
why my "logo" looks fine and cute on lighter background but when i try to put darker background it looks weird? idk how to fix it
or its like an opticall illusion or something...idk
im not unfortunately, yet another thing I should learn but the curve is high
I'll check out dimension ty
seems there are a lot of limitations with dimension maybe I'll just learn blender
can some1 help me, im trying to blend my friend in
maybe a lil yt video tut its not that deep
this is probably stupidly easy but does anyone have any ideas on recreating this textured/noise effect?
tried normal noise but it doesn't have the 'gaps'
struggling to explain what I mean lmao
Is it possible to disable creative cloud from starting when i start PS?
can someone do me a favor please?
i have a picture and i want the text to be removed 🙂
Well, as I said it is basic, but it's perfect for mock-ups. In fact it's made for mock ups. The learning curve with blender is about 1000% more difficult than using Dimension (you can learn Dimension in half a day, that's what I did)
what's causing this
GPU Issue maybe. Main menu: Help > GPU Compatibility... Run that. What does the report say?
How do I change this white bit in the rico text to make it transparent but keep the stroke?
i seee.. thank you !
anyway to fix this? whenever i lasso and then cut it deletes a few pixels around it
Try turning off 'Anti-aliasing' for the Lasso Tool.
how do i do that?
nope its still happening
Feather: 0; untick Anti-alias.
However, the size/resolution of your image might be so low that no matter what you do the edges get interpolated.
I'm assuming this image is pretty small. (?)
Would someone be able to help me out with a Lightroom issue? Or maybe its a me issue - probably
yes
I'm not really a Lr expert. Sorry. You can ask the question and if anyone knows, they will probably chime in.
Thanks. My export is just not matching what I am seeing in Lightroom..its darker, noisier - just worse
I've tried different file types, resolutions, etc
Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 2082)
Hmm. Weird problem. Its starting out as what file format? RAW or is it already JPEG?
Starting as RAW - then I guess it goes to dng after noise reduction, then export to jpeg
What's odd is if I go to full screen and then just take a screen shot, it looks like it should.
what does lorem ipsum mean 😭😭🙏
Hey I'm attempting to make a template for the cover of manga/book/video game reviews I do on instagram with a 1080x1080 image. Does anyone know how to make an easy to edit modular template like this that I can freely drag and drop images into to simplify the process?
Sure. You realize this mockup you have here is not the correct size or aspect ratio, correct?
Well yeah, it's just a crappy drawing to work as an example
Just a screenshot of a different application that's not PS
OK. I just mean that you'll actually have to move things into place in the actual layout. I would start there. Do it just like you've done here. Except in Photoshop, set up a 1080x1080 canvas. Then use the Rectangle Tool to draw the areas for these objects and position them where you need them to be.
Then you drop in other images and (using Clipping Masks) to clip the new images (that you want to insert) to those rectangles.
I wonder about the Book Title and Author actually fitting into those spaces though. Because the titles size/character length will likely vary.
Are all of the Book Covers the same size and aspect ratio or do those change?
Mhm, uh usually they're like 700x1000 or 670x1000
700 with an error margin of like 30 pixels
So kinda like this
You could try to create a document with just loose Guides then. Clipping Masks probably won't work if object sizes will vary with every layout.
Bad example, but I'm more used to Mac's photo editor or Clip Studio paint
I think you're on the right track.
Well having a mask with the max error margin would be fine probably
Don't think anyone's gonna notice 30 pixels difference from the edge
I just meant for you create the the layouts easily.
You can create one of these and save it as a PSDT (Photoshop Template) file. Then always start with the template.
Yeah but my main issue is I have no clue on how to make a template, I'm not too experienced with photoshop, dragging in a moving the cover and background wouldn't be too bad but it's more like how do I make the stars modular and just turn them on/off? Do I just make 20 layers with each one being a half of the other or?
Personally, I wouldn't even bother with that. I would put: ⭐ STARS: 7.5 :)
Trying to cut stars in half every time you want to make one of these seems like a pain. :)
Well I meant like have all 20 in one layer folder and just hide each one you don't want
But that's a HASSLE
It's also like me programming something in python with only if and if else lmao
You could have 10 stars there and just change the opacity of them. Or always have the a faint outline and change the fill color or opacity but that also feels like it might be a lot of work for not much pay off in design.
Mhm
I'll probably just do numbers for now with a little star graphic
How do I do the like outline thing with text so it can pop out more?
Seems easier. Then nobody has to count the stars either. Its more clear as a number.
Say more.
Kinda like this
Oh. That's easy. Layer Style. I just showed somone how to do that above: #❓ask-a-question message
This might be a little more complex. Like 3 Stroke Layer Styles maybe for this.
I'd have to think about it for a minute.
Oh well I don't need it to be THAT complex, more like just white and black layer
One moment
It would require a bit of messing around with but something like this.
Some mixture of shapes and layer styles. Might be possible to do it all with styles. Then the text could be changed at any time.
How do you get the application to look like this?
Where the layers window isn't small 😭
This is a slightly difficult text effect to set up if you're still a beginner...
Here is my PSD file if you want to look at it/play around with it... @main chasm
I have to get going. Good luck with it!
I think this might work
Yeah it manages to work pretty well
Hey guys wanted some tips on how I should edit this picture of mine
Im like super new to photoshop 😭
what exactly do you want to edit here?
like I want te lightning bolt to be sharper and want it to be the main subject of the image
sounds like you want to crop the image a bit and try the smart shapen filter
cropping from the top would be better ?
the lightning is the brightest part of your image so it kind of already is the main subject here. you can emphasize it by making it 'take more space' of the image
alrigt
what does te radius thingy do ? in te smart sharpen menu
that's how far the filter can reach for details from around a point. if you know the exact blurrines value of your image you can type it in, otherwise just try to find the best spot
Then, the window at bottom right competes for attention. A vignette, or cropping it out might help.
im trying to design a cover for a Cd based on kendrick lamars unreleased music. I was wondering what else i should add to this
I like it like that! The only thing that bugs me a little is the amount of space around (Maybe it's either at the same time not enough space or too much, and crucially either too much or not enough centered. It feels off balanced in a subtle weird way)
What do you plan for the title and name of the artist? (not that you have to put it in the front cover)
if the cover is meant to be a mock up for a physical release (not a spotify thumbnail) then the way I would approach it would be to "emboss" the name of the album in the crown. A bit like if it was "made in china" kind of embossing. I know it sounds bonkers, but hear me out. Lamar's always a bit cheeky in his lyrics (or so I find) so I think it would be a sort of easter egg. Of course it wouldn't work for very small thumbnails
I work sometimes with a big label designing covers for their lesser known artists (under an artistic director). Sometimes these covers will never make it to a physical vinyl or CD, so that's something we have to take into account.
could you show me how to do that? that sounds like a great idea
Theres this website i can use to turn this into a real thing. Just for me tho im not looking to sell, because that would be copyrighting his music and using it to my benefit. I just wanted a little peice of work to myself that i made
Not until you change the description in your profile. That's highly inappropriate and also a bit very dumb (what would Kendrick think of that?)
Yes, I was about to question where it's being used, since I can see the image is taken straight from the Tiffany & Co product website. I personally don't care about the source of the image, but it would have been an issue if you planned to sell/use the image commercially.
There's a few things I'd probably change if it were an album cover.
Shadow, title, the outerglow you added, add as mockup etc
Hello, I want to use a white brush to paint over my black oil paint layer, but it wont let me as it says that it needs to be 'rasterized'
You can't paint on a smart object. Either you can rasterise it, or paint on a blank layer on top
I would say the latter is better!
Oh I see. So with the mask here, you wish to 'paint in' where the oil painting bit is?
Yeah it was to ultimately try to smooth out the aliasing on the shadow of the car
so ive opted for oil paint to try to negate that a little
Oh wait that looks super!
Are there any keybinds you're using with that tool or ?
I used the "Clone Stamp" tool. - The only keybind is the usual ones.
ALT to select the source
Ill give it a go, that looks way better
then SHIFT to draw a perfectly straight line between the two points.
Could you elaborate on ALT to select the source? as in thats where the tool begins or ?
Nevermind, got the grasp of it
thanks alot :D
Is it possible to somehow quick export groups with all the pngs inside as folders?
Can you explain what you mean?
Export the contents of folders, as layers?

Hey
I want some help
I want to flip this image so that the positioning of hands will match in these two images
But the normal "flip" setting isn't doing the work
Can someone help me
Yeah like in one click
You can flip the illustration horizontally but you can't change the perspective or angle. You would need to draw/paint or attempt to generate a new image. Or perhaps I'm not understanding what your goal is here.
Are there any laptop brand suggestions for Video Editing/3D Modelling purposes?
This script can do it here:
https://gist.github.com/joonaspaakko/013a223e94ba0fb9a2a0
I just want the hands to match up
Right hand- forward
left hand - backward
The one that fits within your budget that has the best GPU you can get. heh
Well my budget is within 1200 dollars
I've already said: all you can do with this image is flip it unless you want to create something new...
Then find the models with the best Nvidia GPU you can get for that price range and then compare the features between the laptops that match.
So I should prioritise GPU stat first then Memory Card?
If the primary purpose is for 3D and video editing, yes. You're going to need all of the GPU acceleration you can afford.
That's my opinion. So many processes are being offloaded to the GPU now. Also, realtime display of 3D models during modeling, texturing and animation tasks will require good GPU support.
Additionally, if you want to get into running any local AI Systems, those will require a decent GPU to perform well.
Feel free to double-check my advice with others as well. :)
I see, thank you alot :3.
Hello. I have a texture with flowers on a plain color background. I've selected the flowers. I want not only to remove the background, but I'd like to make it transparent. How should I do ?
If u remove background it Will be transparent
Hi! By either masking or deleting the background, then saving as a .png, the background will be transparent.
OK, thank you 👍
Hi, I have a big problem with my phtoshop and I have looked everywhere for the solution but none has really been offered to resolve it and I have looked on all the possible forums but no response so I hope that you can help me so my photoshop creates large files of 16 GB each for me until it crashes, I currently have a good config to make it work I had it on Windows 10 at the time and it worked very well but since I'm on the 11, it's been happening to me. (I have 16GB of RAM and 600GB of storage space and Photoshop during the trial period) so no crack
How big is your canvas?
1920 x 1080
Think we found the issue 🙂
Change the centimeters to pixels
That canvas is almost 20 metres wide
No wonder your computer is dying
@wheat fern
Ho okay then how much resolution should I put in please?
What's the end goal of your image?
Printing it or for on screen?
The 1920 x 1080 is fine. - the usual for web use is about 72 pixels per inch
display it on the screen for a thumbnail for youtube most of the time
Yeah. 72ppi is fine then
it's fine like that ?
Thank you it finally works thanks to you, you are really a boss thank you very much

Hii does anyone know how to add a realistic white wall backdrop around a subject? That may be pretty easy to do but its confusing for me lol

Heya!! Anyone knows how i can fix this? The fill-in tool doesnt properly fill in shapes that i have drawn by hand. I am using the basic brushes.
Thank you for your help, I will check it out 🙏

yoo, reputation system thats cool
the filter gallery. it's… not working?
There has to be more than just a one-color object on a transparent layer for the Spatter Filter effect to be noticeable.
You could do something like this... where you combine black text on a white background and then either use a Blend Mode or Advanced Blending to drop the white background afterwards.
After that, you could use a Hue/Sat Adjustment with Colorize to change the color...
Hope this helps.
how do i group the fill and the outfline together?
Group or Merge?
whatever lets me move them around together
Grouping keeps them separate layers.
I want them as one
Select both Layers in the Layers Panel. Hold the Shift key and click on the layers that so they are all activated. Then use: Ctrl G on the keyboard.
If you want to merge the layers together permanently, you do the same to select all of the layers. Then right-click on one of them and choose "Merge Layers'" from the contenxt menu.
merging them worked ty
Both of those methods "work"
It just depends on if you want to keep them separate and editable or not.
Thanks!

I had a question. So, I had these two separate images and I was wondering how I could make them seamlessly blend into each other like at the connecting point only
like in this image, two separate images are kinda blending into each other
You can do that put creating a mask for the top layer (whichever you choose) and apply a gradient to the mask so that the transition between white (showing) and black (hiding) is gradual
Alternatively you can paint the edge of the transition with a very soft brush instead of using a gradient
Gradients will be straight lines and brush strokes will be more "organic", random.
let me try
okay so this might sound a bit dumb and im sorry since im new but im having issues even applying the gradient to the mask 😭
a bit lost here
Choose the gradient tool on the left
then click on the mask (create a mask first if you haven't done already)
The mask has to be highlighted with a white frame
then while the mask is highlighted drag your mouse across the canvas, where you want your soft edge to be
Excellent!
And a very nice transition!
thank you so much for your time and patience, i appreciate it

Hello, i don't know why my pdf file loses its quality when i open in in photoshop, what can i do for it pls?
when you import your pdf, can you send an ss of what you have selected
its in the second image
oh got it, wasn’t showing on my end
let me look
sometimes ps handles vectors incorrectly, is this coming from something like illustrator or rhino? looks to be an elevation @oblique night
try placing embedded
yes its from AI
how?
File>place embed
still the same quality
ok, try using illustrator to save as a psd from there @oblique night
and when you were placing embedded or linked were you choosing to import as a smart object?
yes, its the only option i get
I have found that for my arch drawings sometimes exporting as eps is better for quality in ps
Hi photoshop experts, need your help on a project I am working on. Was looking for some good way to extract and apply shadows/highlights from photoshop to a garment. I came across a software dealing with same stuff I do. They managed to extract a singular image like this and further apply to their garment which took care of both shadows and highlights. What is your thoughts on what this image could be?
tried this too and its still that way, i tried to add a text and its also pixelated, can this be a problem in the software itself ? even tho it didnt happen before
hmm it’s possible, have you tried just increasing res of pdf file before import
how?
I would call that a shadow map, It could also be a displacement map (look for displacement filter in Photoshop)
Basically it depends if you're using it just for apllying the shadows and highlights on a garment (typically with an Overlay, or Hard Light blending mode) or if you are also using it to distort the fabric accordingly (it would be a distort map then)
yes
When i open the pdf from AI, it is not pixelated
nop, everything was still pixelated even the editable texts
Just need for applying shadows and highlights. How would I create a shadow map?
There might be other methods but usually, what I do is:
Extract the area you want to work one (the fabric in your case)
Convert to black and white after having it converted into a smart object
Apply a curves or levels to exagerate the contrast
and place on top of your pattern and change the blending mode accordingly
Hmm @oblique night i wish i could be of more help, i believe ps will convert pdfs to raster anyways so there is no way to retain a vector from ai
@ionic spoke even on a new document, when i add text to it its pixelated, what do i do
Is it just the levels/curves? Have been doing it for quite a while now. The way I have been doing till now is I create 2 files, for shadows and highlights separately. And further apply multiply/screen blend mode respectively.
where it says none at the top trying going thru the options of crisp, smooth , etc
not sure if you are able to edit the text from an imported pdf to do the same
Well as I said, there are many ways to do it, as long as the result is good, then the method doesn't really matter
i was just testing coz everything seems to be getting pixelated no matter what is it
this can not be overstated!
@drifting adder That's the kind of things you find when you opening ready made mock ups. Generally they come as straight layers with destructive methods of making them black and white but I like the flexibility of a smart object. The depth of shadows depend on the colour (some colours react differently) so I like that I can tweak that
@oblique night you are not rasterizing right? make sure your dpi is high 300+ adjust your image size, even clear type of your on windows can affect
The result I produced could be improved in my opinion. Maybe its the method I have been following, or the levels are not right.
In terms of shadows and highlights of course.
Possibly the later, and also that your edges are really sharp. When you scrutinise a photo, even one that is sharp all over, with a wide Depth of field, stuff like high contrast edegs aren't taht sharp
It makes the shirt look like stiff paper
Maybe there are some areas (around the midriff?) which could be blurred a little (the shadow map)
It is not, i don't understand "even clear type of your on windows can affect" ?
And how can it be improved? I feel the shadows have made it look a little realistic in terms of a shirt imagery.
@oblique night setting in windows is
I don't know the exact answer to this question. I am using this method to create wall rendreings (placing paint or wallpaper onto interrior design images) where the shadows are generally quite crisp, but even then I tend to blur my map quite a lot
For the sharp curves?
Makes sense.
Also, you're taking your map from a white shirt, and it would have sharper tones. If you could take your sample from a neutral grey you'll see that the shadows react a bit differently, they will probably be softer
Even the cloth colour matters?
Yes of course!
Was thinking of using a green colour fabric for extracting shadows from next time.
That's why I like to be able to tweak it depending on the colour of the pattern placed
See how one of mine is looking
I generally make another one that is softer, on top of the fabric where I will trun the opacity down and increase the lights
Was it originally grey?
So the first one is quite drak and more sharp than the second one that is softer, less opcity, and lighter
The highlights right.
No, I made it grey so the colour of the the overlay doesn't affect the colour of the material
I may retouch the colours after the fact if needed
That's the second one
Does it cover both the aspects of adding shadows and highlights?
Original VS wallpaper
And this for a little touch up of adding even more lights.
Well that looks epic
Yes for both
What method did you follow on this one?
It's less complicated than for fabric though. Folds can draw sharp shadows or soft shadows depending on the direction of light and depth. You also need to make sure that the original image (the guy) have the same lighting (intensity and direction) than the shirt that's being photographed
If that makes sense
The one I explained to you just above
Yes it makes sense.
Two overlay, one dark, one light. The dark one directly underneath the pattern, pattern is set to Overlay, then the light one on top of the pattern, set to overlay or hard light, depending, and opacity lowerd and lighter
I tweak them depending on the kind of room I am working on. These are not high volume work
Through levels/curves right?
So before even applying the wallpaper, there is quite a lot of retouch on the rooms (removing artwork, putting diffrent artworks, painting the walls or ceiling in a different colour, that kind of things)
Yes, I use curves personnally. I have more control
I will try your approach on the shirt using curves, with a few more tweaks such as blurring the image a little
Have been using levels so far.
If you are converting the overlays as Smart objects you can still go back to any adjustments you have made, including the blurring, and tweak as you go along. That way you can easily fine tune instead of having to do it all over again each time you change your mind
I will leave you to it, I still have some work to do!
Makes sense now, the image I shared earlier, they blurred the sharp edges. I suppose what you are mentioning is the reson.
Sure, and thanks for the help!

hey guys im designing a logo for someone and they requested it be on a blue background, but im having a really difficult time finding what the best colour their logo should be to fit this background. please check.
Absolutely, 100% white. - not black.
about the window blocks you see on the towers, would you suggest removing or changing them to a different colour?
My design company used to have something called the 2cm test.
If the aspects of the logo were completely gone when the logo was only displayed at 2cm, we removed them.
Not saying it's the definative "thing to do", but worth considering.
What's the logo for? Looks like some kind of cloud based IT security?
Yeah basically they wanted to showcase protecting the cloud, the point of their organisation basically
i've been having this weird popup on my photoshop and i can't seem to get rid of it. does anyone know any solutions?
I have thousands of photos like this i need to batch edit, most important thing being to crop out everything but the coin but removing background is nice. Usually I would remove background and trim transparent but with photos like this I can't get photoshop to consistently select just the coin using select subject. Is there some way to auto select the object by shape, or use some other image of a dime (or just a circle) thats already centered and have photoshop align each image to that?
Hi. I'm new to PS and I wanted to know how I would make the crisps/chips look as if it was actually on the packaging instead of just pasted over it. So them blending in and having the same sort of shadow the packaging has or whatever if this makes sense.
Ay guys any way we can have smoothing for pencil tool in Photoshop?
I use the 2017 version and I use it for pixel art
path blur probably
OOh, is it in filter?
it's in filter>Blur>blur gallery

ohh ok, thx a lot man
You're welcome!
How do I calibrate colors on my monitor If I don't have a colorimeter?
There method you can find online, but it won't be accurate. The only real way would be to use a device (starting prices are usually around £100, but you can find promos or refurbished ones)
Because the way the visual method works, the only reference you have is your own monitor, and no external source. So it's really more "approaching" a typical state, than having real numbers... (Even calibrating with a cheap device isn't entirely accurate, but close enough for standard work)
You can try that for the bsics

And my new monitor is Asus proart pa278qv it's showing a yellowish tint when used on srgb mode do u know any fixes?
Ok thanks

You can start by trying to create a new image in Photoshop, that you know will be pure white, then you need a reference: A sheet of real good quality paper (something from a high end quality paper brand, the kind of paper to print very good photos on)
Most white papers (printer paper) contain an whitening agent, which is in fact a blue dye, so they make the paper blue in order for them to appear more white (same with laundry liquid!)
So you need something that is real white. And compare both side by side in a well lit room, with 4000K lightbulbs/LEDs, with no other interaction from the outside world (the sun). If you can't you will have better results if the sun is overcast (althought sometimes it's more blue than white)
Alright thanks for explaining after comparing how do I make it look white
Check the calibration settings on your OS. Is it Windows or Mac?
It's windows
Ok thanks will look into it
Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume (current: #8 - 647)
Just a word of caution. What you may think it's white is actually very blue. You see it with a colorimeter, sometimes the result of a successful calibration seem very dull and yellow/magenta-ish. I blame the phone screen which are really really bright oversaturated, and geared by the manaufacturers to be very blue. So it tends to alter our perception of what pure white is.
The ye is a good comparitor (? not sure this one is correct 🙂 ) but a very bad calculator.
You can't decide what is white or neutral without looking at a REAL reference.
You can also get yourself one of these

it's not perfect, but better than nothing!
they are used in photography, but you can use them on screen. I use them when I scan images. I scan the chart alongside the image. I know then what is grey, white, or black (very useful to use with the colour samplers in Photoshop)
hello everyone my photoshop is lagging and when I open it they said me this so obviously I think its linked, sorry its writte in french but the issues is "DirectX 11.0 feature level available, 12.0 feature level required" if someone know how I can solve this problem it would be nice thanks !
That that's basically mean that your GPU is not compativble on that point
See if you can update your Nvidia drivers first and then see if you can disable all the features that use DirectX 12.00 (in preferences>performances and also check in preferences> technology previews)
Otherwise see if you can upgrade your GPU if needed
is it possible to edit the save as list and make it a custom one. it's such a pain to scroll through all this nonsense
Hello
?
I doubt that's editable.
What do you mean? "Any way we can have smoothing?" If its not an option in the Pencil Tool in that version, you'll have to update Photoshop.
Godamn it
If you’re on windows you can buy lazy nezumi pro plugin
Im away from my pc can anyone remove a plant from a picture
That's crazy
But I got no choice
Well i haven’t heard about other plugin that would add smoothing to older versions of PS
Nah is fine imma get it
I have no solution for other problem
Right
When an old version of Photoshop doesn't have functionality you need and newer versions do, the solution is to upgrade Photoshop.
Can anyone help I do photography and someone has asked to buy several of my photos as nft but I have no clue hoŵ to use or what this meàns
Hey guys. Here's an old photo I've enhanced. Any tips/criticism on making it better, more realistic like it was taken with a modern camera? Thanks!
guys is getintopc safe i want to download adobe softwares and i am scared
you download Photoshop only from creative cloud
at least the legal version
that's the last place to ask 
bro
it looks good, but it's better to ask in #📝project-feedback
Hi, it is an often submitted feature request… I suggest to vote and explain your issue on the thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-ideas/p-ability-to-arrange-amp-customize-save-as-file-formats-so-popular-formats-are-at-the-top/idi-p/12250159
Photoshop supports about 20 formats, but I only use 4 or 5 of them. It's bugged me since 5.5 to have to fish for jpeg somewhere in the middle of the list. Can the file formats get arranged by most commonly used? And maybe allow us to remove stuff like targa and large file format that nobody uses.
please if anyone can help me really quickly understand where they hid the option to resize the text box without distorting the text itself
basically only resizing the bounds
clicking on thumbnail doesn't work, no option to "convert to paragraph text" nothing works i am looking far and wide for this very basic function
double click the text
should become a dotted line now
should be able to
unfortunately not
its not paragraph text but converting is not possible. it literally... does not exist. i already remade the whole thing
yea it does not, which from what i understood from deep research, means that it is not paragraph text. there's an option that lets u convert normal text to paragraph text but guess what
i dont have it
lol. i got messed up from all directions with this one
i just recreated the whole thing, and got it fixed. it sucked but it worked out
yep, no convert to paragraph text
srry 2 hear that, glad u got it figured out at leasg
btw speaking of text
is there any way to integrate a shape into a text box? ig a custom special charachter would be the easiest way to describe it.
i can mock up something if that helps it make more sense
yeah you mean like a custom shape to act as a text chareacter
i got no idea knowing myself i'd probably do whatever you're trying to do manually by hand :d
yeah i was just gonna do it manually as well but
after making like
a dozen or so cards
im like man i gotta optimize this process.
basically tryna integrate like
an icon before or in between lines of text for example
that looks like a use case of photoshop that ive never explored
unfort
i gtg to sleep but gl and safe recovery from cutie con
lol thanks dude gn
What would be a good way of getting a pixelated box around this, I tried to draw it out 😭
smtn like this
In my .psd file, I have multiple artboards. When I create a new artboard and start working on it, the smart guides show comparisons and alignments relative to elements on other artboards. I want the smart guides to only show alignment and comparison within the current artboard I'm working on, not across all artboards. How can I achieve this?
i have a bug when trying to download ps would u have an idea on how to fix (i can send screenshots)
Open the Creative Cloud app, sign in and install Photoshop from there.
@ripe quest it wont let me install that either it just sends me a text file
oh hold up i think i done it
Hi everyone! i'm new at photoshop. I get a problem that when i add image (png) to photoshop its get nose on background. Anyone know how to fix that?
i honestly couldnt help u mate, im also dirt new to ps xDD
pen tool
i believe disabling the layer thats in the way should do it.
how to make a brush with a Gaussian blur effect??
The blur is not what's on the right
Another question Is If there is a quick way to create a brush with a blurr?? With different colors
When I use the brush tool to subtract from my mask to add the texture, it works. However, when I add to the mask, the brush tool does nothing. How do I fix this so that I can add more of the original photo back?
hello guys , i think have an issue with creative cloud , i have just deleted a cracked version of adobe acrobat and i wanted to download the new version but creative cloud gived me open button, can any one help??
Creative cloud gived me open button?
I don't know what you're asking.
System thinks it's already up-to-date. - if it's not.... - maybe stop pirating it and download the proper version?
You would make a fresh layer with a Gaussian blur and then mask it accordingly...
If you remember to make it into a smart object FIRST, you can then go back and edit the level of blur....
Any idea on how to fill in a third house here?
Duplicate one of those houses or draw a new one
then add this soft shadow to the right-bottom corner
was thinking of gen ai for it tbh
try that then 🙂
I think that Gen AI will generate something that won't match the other styles close enough, and it will stick out like a sore thumb.
Best off just remaking it, making use of a stroke and the clone tool...
how do i paste a picture to my current project im working on
Drag and drop the image into the document.
its not letting me
You'll have to provide a better description of what's going on, show the document you're working, provide screen shots or some insights that help to narrow down the problem.
You literally just drag and drop a supported image file from the File Explorer/Finder into an open PSD.
What is the file you're trying to bring in?
Hello everybody! I am trying to remove the black background from this image, but I always end up with silly results. Is there any way that I can take all the black color and replace it with transparency?
I would try Advanced Blending > Blend If... Hold ALT and split the handles on the right side / dark and drag it towards the left until it drops out.
@ripe quest Ur a lifesaver, thank you! 😄
Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 2085)
The difficulty is that I need to make a blur of a different color. For example, black.
same way 🙂
Do I just need to add a color fill layer?
what could i do to make text pop out on mylar bags to make it stand out?
hello guys
Im having trouble when i use object selection
need help with it im scratching my head as to why it's happening
im using object selection to select a subject without its background, i then transfered it to another tab so i can put the subject in my like desired background but somehow the colors are different, it's lighter and whiter than its original
how could i fix this
sorry, currently AFK
can anyone help me make a font pop and stand out?
Could anyone make me a simple pfp
can anyone be my teacher and teach me photoshop
Can you share some more FULL screengrabs, with the layers panel in shot?
Check the lessons built within the software.
Did you knock down the layer opacity?
idk why whenever i transfer it to my main project tab it turns a different color
Simply changing the blend mode to SCREEN helps too...
**Designing **something that can be later added to a mylar bag? or taking an existing design and placing it on a mylar bag?
how do u ss a pic so i can show u
How did you do that? Could you show me? I changed the setting to "Screen", what else do I need to do?
@sly hawk
Hi I have one source image and one is output image. How I can get this output image using photoshop or any other Adobe tool? I have paid creative cloud apps.
You need to place your chosen background behind it 🙂
What would be the fastest way for me to fill these white spots in this wording?
probably spot heal brush
or if you want it to be solid text just make each a seperate layer
Does anyone has this Mockup to send me?
and is this A4 sizes?
I need it for my personal project
Make a selection bigger than your text, can be done with lasso tool,
using Magic Wand, hold ALT and click on background.
Then use eye dropper to sample the color, and fil the selection with ALT DELETE.
this will remove all the inner white spots.
Hi, I recently downloaded adobe photoshop however everytime I create my workspace and click file on the top left I get a blue screen and I have no idea why clicking file causes my whole computer to crash. Can someone help?
each frame has its own layer, but for some reason photoshop thinks the default behavior should be such that every subsequent frame should retain the previous frame's visibility? Do I seriously have to manually go in and hide every single layer but the one that actually corresponds to that frame? disabling "new layers visible in all frames" is only half the work
using layers as frames is already pretty disgusting
your scratch disk is probably either not set or is very small
Your canvas size is probably massive!
It's literally tagged as A4.
yeah but it's tagged as A5 also
they're both exactly the same proportions, so it works for either 🙂
do you maybe have the mockup?
I doubt anyone here will have previously purchased that exact mockup already. - You could quite easily recreate it?
Hmmm, I don't think so :/
anyone got any idea about this?
Can you give a little more context?
PM'd
Can you share the actual image? It makes a big difference
not sure what else there is to say really. When you add a new frame in the timeline, it adds a new layer to the layer stack, but all previous frames are visible by default. In order for frames to actually be cleanly separate images you have to hide all of the layers under that frame
you can prevent new frames from being visible to previous frames, but that doesn't stop the opposite, where the new frame has all of the frames under it visible
actually after some consideration that might not even be behavior that I want
I guess it would prevent needing to redraw/repaint static content
I texted you again
yep, one moment
You mean a simple wonky brush stroke?
dunno bro im new at photoshop , just whatever seems rigt 🙏
Use the Pen Tool to trace around the contours.
i did tried, yet nothing worked
How can I replace a layer with another one I need to replace a photo
Is there way to "Generative fill" more than 3 images at a time?
If you can share the PSD here, I'll show you EXACTLY how to swap that out
Not that I'm aware. - You just have to click it again once the first 3 are done
A few options here @hybrid eagle
i have no idea what i did but photoshop randomly started to act completely differently
holding shift used to scale in the image in the same ratio from the centre the way alt now does
idk what alt used to do because i never used it
and the eraser is now pressure sensitive instead of completely erasing no matter the pressure
these are my eraser settings
Try reseting preferences of photoshop...
Best way to carry these circles around the corner at a nicely Spaced?
Sorry was AFK! - back now
Make a dashed line 🙂
ty
Woah, i didnt know that was a thing, Thanks!
Use the SAME smart object for both background layers
then you can swap it out ONCE and it will effect them both.
See video above @real crescent
Where can i get this type of sky?
hello guys is someone know which font it is ?
words arent enough to thank u bro ❤️🙏

I would bet on Helvetica Neue
damn i wanted it free
Check if there is something approaching in Adobe fonts!

A friend went to see Big Time Rush 2 days ago, and she asked me if i could help sharpen some pics she took. But this is about the quality they all are, so if i sharpen them with photoshop they'll just look grainy, but if i upscale them they get this AI oil painting look
Do any of you know a better way to do it?
does anyone know how to remove odd blurring on the edges of a label that are being wrapped around an object in a mockup file?
the edges are blurred/expanded so a line segment is thicker than it's supposed to be and blurry
Hey y’all I’m tryna decide if I should complete this project in photoshop or blender. I’m trying to take that tile texture and make it seem like the shower is an indent in this big tile wall. Any guidance would be huge 🙏
Not very good at blender but I feel like it’ll be hard to get lighting right in photoshop
I’d also be open to any other feedback on perspective or composition or anything, just wanna make a cool photo
Generative Fill...
I’m on a no AI diet now ☹️ cause Instagram started flagging stuff as “made with AI” even when it was to fill like 5 pixels and I can’t turn off the tag anymore lol
But appreciate the idea
OK. Good luck with Blender.
someone halp fr
Personally, I'm not going to let Meta dictate what I can or cannot use.
That’s fair it’s just a personal decision
It's not possible to troubleshoot from a description of the problem. If you posted some screenshots of the Photoshop GUI showing the Layers Panel and the affected layers clearly displaying the issue, perhaps someone might be able to identify possible solutions or ideas to try.
Photoshop just did this weird thing. On a fresh computer boot, I opened photoshop, and it loaded this random image that I opened a while back, and then my screen started flickering and was disconnecting from my graphics card tv showing "no signal". When I switch to another window, everything would go back to normal, but if I switched back to photoshop, it would start doing the weird stuff again. NEVER had this happen before. Really weird behavior.
one second I'll try to show my issue
If Photoshop crashed the last time it was open, it probably tried to load a "Recovered" file. The glitchy behavior may have to do with issues with your GPU or the drivers, compatibility, etc. In the main menu of Photoshop, check: Help > GPU Compatibility... any issues or errors reported there?
You can post it. I'm not promising that I can help you. If I can't, perhaps someone else will know.
You post questions here with details. If someone knows the answer and are available to help, they will probably reply.
had to remove sensitive info but this is basically my issue here on the mockup file I add my design in there the file is a PNG direct from illustrator and you see in the image there's blurring and the line segment expands a bit and blurs as well
these 3 layer panels are the only thing affecting the design as far as I'm aware as I've used the eyedropper on every other element on the mockup file and it does not affect the label design
there doesn't seem to be any warp settings in there or anything but i can't be sure
PNG direct from Illustrator... So you're using a bitamp? What as in the mockup before? Were there vector graphics in the mockup and you substituted rasters?
let me check
Did you enter the Smart Objects and look inside?
yes I did honestly idk if this is a vector or raster file that was previously in it
how do I tell?
this is what's inside the file
If you double click on the Smart Object and attempt to enter into it, does it open in a new tab or does it try to open Adobe Illustrator?
new tab
in photoshop
I can try exporting the image file as a svg and see if it warps/blurs/expands
There aren't any filters or blurs in that file... If not, it could just be the bitmap being warped.
That's probably not going to help.
yeah no filters or blurs also what's the bitmap?
If its not already vector graphics, exporting to SVG will only embed those rasters into the SVG as a base64 encoded PNG string.
yeah the svg didn't help
Yeah.
but yeah if you can see here there's a clear distinctive line where it starts to warp/blur
and idk why
It might just be the warping. Can you remake that line and see if it helps? Just try inserting a new different line. Leave the old one there. See if the same thing happens.
yeah the same thing happens
just in different ways
I checked with the original file too
Hmm
This can be one problem with using someone else's mockups.
How difficult is the thing to rebuild?
probably very difficult as I have no real knowledge on rebuilding things like this
I see
they never teach the important stuff in school
Is this a can or bottle or something?
yeah it's a bottle
this particular one works the best for my design but this blurring thing is bothering me
Can you show me the whole bottle thing without revealing any confidential information?
it's not really noticeable from the viewing distance but it's still something problematic
it's kind of a unique bottle shape can I dm u?
OK
okay dmed
No, it's showing everything is working fine...
so i have a small problem with making the textures blend in seamless due to the uv of my model
so because of my uv mapping, basically the sides are seperated from the top of the vehicle, so when i used blur and stuff to blend in the shadows, the transition is not that smooth
any suggestions?
since this is a smart object is there any way to reverse all types of effects or distortions on it?
I selected and masked a part of the picture but now the rest of the picture is gone. The background is gone.
forget it. I fixed it
Uh, is there a way to bulk resize images (either with image processor or something else) to an exact resolution instead of it resizing to something else? Like I put in 180x180, but it resized each of the images to something like 220x180, 120x180, etc. it didn’t do it right, let’s just say that.
You need to search on other layers, what layer have blur, normally is not the layer that you use to add you artwork, is other layers that is a copy of this smart object, this copy can have other name, if you find it, just grab the blur effect and drag it to the trash can.
possible to make the red a little brownish?
how'd you do it?
Make a selection. Add a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer. Tweak the sliders...
want to learn 😄
adjustements -> hue/saturation and changed reds
thank you both! will try
That's just quick. You might want to spend a bit more time on the mask.
I checked everything and I clicked on the eye to hide every single layer besides the artwork layers and it still produces this odd blur I think it's the artwork layer itself
what is a5 dimensions for photoshop
how do I erase only a specific color? I'm doing all the tutorials but this software is too complicated.
I’m getting the “post script data invalid” error when I try to place a captured shape from my library, I’m not sure if it’s a bug or a user error
how do i stretch with these points of my polygonal mask? similar to transform > distort or transform > skew
Hi everyone
do you guys can help me on how to get rid of this contrast please ?
I'm kinda new and doesn't know where to search
you could try to refine your mask
Hold Ctrl and click on the layer thumbnail.
Go to menu select - modify - contract and use 1 ou 2 pixels.
Go to menu select - inverse
Just hit delete.
Here’s where I’m at with the insta post (slides 1 and 2), anything stand out? I’m thinking of adding a towel rack on the left with a white towel and black embroidery on it, and then maybe fixing some little details around the seam where the tiles meet the shower
Also the concept is “emptiness from boredom”, I realize I’m not asking a super technical question but more am just seeing if anyone’s got any creative feedback
Make the first one darker colors and then add like stains on the wall and then like maybe black and white drawings or graffiti using ai on the wall too to show the boredom
Rectangle Tool. Assign a gradient fill to it.
how do i change the opacity then
You can make both sides of the gradient black. Then on one side of the gradient, you set the opacity to 0
On the Gradient Ramp editor, the bottom stops are for the colors. The top line are opacity for each stop.
ahh thank you🙏
how do i see the location cus with the gradient overlay i can see when its at 50 so i know its in the middle but for the rectangle gradient i dont see it
If you select one of the stops, it should show you a marker of the location and there is an input field as well.
Sorry. I'm not at a PC atm.
oh okay
See the little diamonds on the bottom edge?
yeah
You can move those
mhm
If you don't want to edit the opacity this way, you could always use a mask. However, think this is probably easier to control.
How do I create a mask I can fill in with a rainbow gradient based on a shape that exists in one layer
Like basically take a rainbow gradient and fill a shape in with it
Like how do I fill the text above this rainbow gradient with the rainbow gradient
Nvm, figured it out, combo of a whole buncha stuff lmao
Minimum filter helped get the edge effect though
hey guys, the B is the original any suggestions on how i can make the LU congrent with the B so it looks original? thanks!

thank you
Gave +1 Creative Carma to @shadow ridge (current: #246 - 6)
the result is still a bit weird but that's better
There is some noise which I think is generated by the JPEG compression. So it will be a bit hard to reproduce exactly the same way. Just try to add more contrast to it, or take that bit of text and try to save it multiple times as a JPEG with a "lower" quality and see what it does. Then paste it next to your original.
Hope you aren't trying to falsify a document though...
If you are then run JPG noise removal on the whole thing first, then composite in the lettering, then resave it 😉
JPG noise is incredibly predictable thanks to the algorithm that generates it, so machine-trained JPG artifact removal is spooky good.
So give Neural Filters -> JPEG Artifact Removal a look.
(If you can tolerate the botched UI of the Neural Filters carcrash)
That's a good idea!
Put your gradient layer above the folder, with the gradient layer selected press CTRL ALT G, this will clip the gradient to the folder content.
I need some help with the select and mask tool - it simply will not use my internet connection when I attempt to use the cloud to make a selection.
no, im making a piece of art for a hoodie
does look very dodgy haha
im mainly worried about the specific colouring of the text
it has this very unique texture
its less about the way it looks compressed but just yeah the lettering
Then just copy the texture from a 2-3px separated high frequency layer?
ill take a look at how to do
any recommended videos for this topic?
how can i make that better?
Search youtube for "Frequency separation", be careful of anyone who doesn't mention median as the blur method.
Your separation radius wants to be small
You want the noise, not the text, so real real low.
1px perhaps.
when i search that i just see a lot of faces?
Yes, it's commonly used, often badly, to retouch faces
But the technique is the same, separate image into two layers, one containing high frequencies one containing low frequencies
Noise is very very high frequency, and as such you should be able to separate that from the rest of the image detail
An hour ago I would have been able to demo it for you on twitch, unfortunately I'm now out of office until tomorrow
ah right
and another question i had was
with a photo like this
is it possible to separate those lines from the face itself so i can layer it on top of another face?
That's clearly a scan of a government ID
its a generic photo i found on google
We making fakes in the photoshop discord now? 💀
The answer is yes, that technique would make that possible - if the intention is to do it to an ID badge, then I would be waving red flags around with enthusiasm
im asking how i can make that arrow better 😭
Ctrl T
I'm sorry there seem to be two of you and I've lost track of who is responding to what 😂
im also not asking how i can select it
No. Please do not ask questions related to forging official documents.
Ok I'm responding to MOT
I feel like we’d need more info about the layers in your file
im asking how i can make that arrow look better like do i need to make it bigger, round, smaller? u get it?
Ah
OK. I didn't scan the entire chat. However, I see passport photos, the word "red flags" and I have to mod this discussion amongst ten other things I'm doing.
of course, understood
I’d make it have thicker width and have it start directly under that first line of text
I’d also give it that yellow stroke
can i un merge shapes?
I don’t think so, not really sure what your layer situation is though
I have to leave for work bye bye 🫡
Please use the #📝project-feedback channel. This channel is for questions related to using/learning how to do things with Photoshop.
Ah ok sorry
@fierce veldt with more complex problems, the actual source image Vs a random example might lead to a better solution , so if possible link those at the source resolution.
I might make a recommendation that'll work on a 6000px source file but not a 250px jpg etc
guys, what can i improve ?
I would remove all the strokes from the texts, basically use white texts and some yellow ones. There's already a lot of green in the background, it wouldn't be necessary in the text.
I would make that arrow more translucent, less opaque and less brighty
Hey guys, if i have a PayPal account with 0.00 dollars, can i start a free trial of Photoshop?
I don't think PayPal is an available choice for payment method.
Wait. It is. It looks like I can change to Paypal.
However, I don't know if there is a minimum charge that they use when they set up an account. You'd have to contact Adobe Customer Care to get an answer.
ok
there's no paypal option for me, i think it is because i'm from Argentina
Mmm. I see. Yeah, I'm not familiar with all of the billing policies. Sorry.
nah np
anyways, thanks for your help!
Does anyone know why it won't let me download creative cloud?
I've tried multiple times but it won't even open up
You've gone to adobe.com, created an account and signed in there, correct?
yes
I get the setup and everything
but it just never opens
I'll leave it on for a hour and it won't open up
Hmm. Windows or MacOS?
windows
Is there anything in the Windows taskbar? Access control function waiting for you to approve?
Not that I see
Am I able to stream my thingy so you can see what I'm talking about?
It will look like a little sheild in the bottom bar. It might be flashing.
nothing is flashing
So you double-click the exe or the MSI you downloaded and just nothing happens, is that correct?
Yes
Are you an Admin of the computer? Have admin permissions? You've installed other things, yes?
A few things.
The message is confusing/mixed with images of dogs and gardening?
The text is a little hard to read on the busy background.
I'd suggest less different images
Not ALL text needs to be italic
I don't like the yellow borders
The heading is centralised but the subheading is left aligned? Not very consistent
It has 2 icons for phone and WhatsApp but no number
Yes I am
Infact I installed it before a couple months back and it worked, I deleted it then, now when I try to install it this time it won't work
I see. There could be some remnants of the old install fouling things up.
They make a CC Cleaner that gets rid of all of the old install stuff and starts over.
If you don't care about any of the old installation, you can probably skip down to: How to use the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool
You basically just dl this little utility and run it. It cleans up the old install. You restart your PC and then try the new install again.
Can I export my alt-clicked layer mask? I need the image in black/white (for terrain texture mapping but I'd also not like to commit a change to the layer itself.
You ran this: AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe - followed the steps. It completed. Then you rebooted Windows and it still doesn't work?
You should be able to copy/paste that to a new document and then export it out. I don't think you can do that directly from the active/visible mask.
I'm out of ideas. Sorry. You may have to contact Adobe Customer Care.
Could I stream it to you, or would you still have no idea
If you've used the Cleaner Tool and it still doesn't work, then I don't know what else to try.
If you're experienced with Windows there might be other things you can try. However, I can't provide technical support for Windows. Additional things to try would possibly be dangerous to your Windows installation and anyways, they're beyond the scope of this server.
Why you wanna install/uninstall/reinstall? heh
Cuz it was glitching before
I couldn't open anything, so I did the most basic way I could think of
Thought nothing of it because it always worked fine
Just to be clear, you have an active Adobe subscription, you're actually downloading Creative Cloud FROM Adobe and not some cracked BS version of the apps... Correct?
I'm downloading from adobe but I was gonna get the sub today
Was the previous version pirated?
You'll need Adobe Tech Support. I don't know what else to suggest other than complete uninstall, cleaner, reinstall. That's what I would do on my own PC.
If I had this problem, I would contact Adobe Support.
Good luck. I hope you get it sorted out.
I’ve reported it as a bug but I’m just double checking it’s not a user error. Im trying to place a captured shape from by library and it keeps giving me the message “Could not place because the PostScript data is empty or invalid”. Am I doing something wrong?
alr i'm back and I got my stuff working
but I got another problem that is more drawing tablet related
How do I stop my brush from automatically drawing before I even put pressure
👋 recently my photoshop has been taking absolutely ages to export and save. It took me about 40 minutes to save a basic 640x190 canvas.. as soon as I press save my pc starts lagging and spinning cursor displays. It’s impossible to do anything
Any help would be lovely
hello! would anyone know what is happeneing to my brush here? I have a new computer with a 3080 and an I9 gpu, with a 240 hz monitor, the brush works but the the computer just takes out massive chunks of the image, nothing gets deleted but it does get annoying when tryin to work
https://imgur.com/a/EghSMWd
I would say delete anything you can, and switch from chrome to firefox
What happens if you disable either of these? Is it still happening?
that's it, thank you!
Be sure your system meets (or ideally exceeds) the minimum system requirements.

You are welcome. 🤗
@willow gale would you by any chance know why whenever I grab canvas and move fast, the whole canvas becomes uninteractable? I always have to make a new window of the canvas to work on it again
No! That's a new one. Anything happening in the Layers panel?
I'll poke around and see if I can find anything on this... Windows and Ps 25.9.1?
anyone know how to do the glow effect like in this video?
@willow gale no but it has been happening on multiple versions, i am updating now
Try disabling Flick Panning.
See if this tutorial helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QQxtsZ8_zQ
In today's tutorial I'm going to share some useful techniques for creating a glowing effect in Photoshop to make objects appear as if they are illuminated. I'll be applying the effect to the antlers of a deer in this example to create a surreal fantasy image, but the same process can be used to add lighting effects to all kinds of objects within...
@willow gale that worked, thank you! one last thing when i hold down Ctr + Alt + left mouse key and was able to zoom in and out, now i can only zoom in andd it is large jump, what should i press to make it zoom in and out?
Gave +1 Creative Carma to @willow gale (current: #30 - 63)
I need another minute, I don't typically zoom that way. 😉
For sure, thanks! @willow gale
Ctrl+alt drag with the left mouse button down to zoom? Ctrl activates the Move tool, Alt duplicates so when I do that on Windows I'm duplicating the contents of the active layer.
See https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/zoom.html for other options.
ctrl + Space + left mouse and i can zoom! sorry
Ok, that's the shortcut for the Zoom tool. What happens if you use the shortcut, and drag left and right? Right should zoom in, and left should zoom out.
Oh, wait. It's working now?
no it's not working, it only zooms in
Same if you choose the Zoom tool? Can you share a screen shot of Preferences > Tools?
well, when a CC application starts to misbehave, we typically want to reset preferences. You can do that in preferences > general. Then you'll have to revisit the two we just talked about.
Alternatively, you could enable animated zoom (in your screenshot) That would allow you to hold control+space bar and press the mouse button down to zoom in. Or control + alt + spacebar and press the mouse button to zoom out. In either situation and hold the mouse as long as you want.
the later will do for now, thank you!
You are welcome. Have a great night. 🌙
Can anyone help?
I've literally tried everything, it simply will not use my internet connection.
how do i find the font that says "first last"
I don’t think the have they
That
But you can probably find it on other website
And put it on
ye its not on adobe , i dont know whats it called so how do i find it
Can't you pick whether it's processed locally or via cloud?
If you're using a pirated copy, or have done so in the past, it may be that you have the adobe servers blocked in your hosts file.
If you don't know what that means.... - congrats! - it means you probably didn't pirate it! 🙂
It's going to be extremely difficult to do this via an automated text recognition tool.
Go search some of the font websites, for 'script' type fonts and Maybe also post here on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/identifythisfont/
The massive jump was because you clicked and 'drew a tiny box' and it then zoomed into that BOX. - spend 2 minutes on youtube learning the zoom controls and you'll be fine.
there are various websites to find font from images; I searched them up online. i used font matcherator in the past, but none of them can give the correct font. most of the time.

See if that helps
There are site where you can do a visual search by uploading a screenshot of the text
And there is one: What font is, where you can describe the font to match...
What do you do when you find a font you like, but then have no idea what it is: You use a font identifier!
Whether it's in an app like Photoshop or Adobe Capture, or using online resources online: I got you covered!

Ohh I see thanks
Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk (current: #5 - 929)
Oh
Thank you I'll look into it
Don't forget that most fancy type that you see around will be off-the shelves- but tweaked by the designer, generally using Illustrator.
i started photoshop with these videos damn
i see
Hello
how can i copy the same paths please
im trying to make a line and i want it to look the same from Top and bottom sides
hope you understood
Is this an ok place to ask lightroom questions? I didn't see a discord for that
Yes, it is!
Thanks! I'm a long-time lightroom user and I remember liking the old black and white 'punch' filter back in the day. The new filter on cc and classic both don't hit the same. Do you know where I could find the real classic punch filter, or how to recreate it?
.
Hi, in the paths panel, alt-drag it. I think you can also use the direct selection tool, then drag around the path, and alt-drag. See also: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/editing-paths.html and https://jkost.com/blog/2021/04/15-tips-for-working-with-paths-in-photoshop.html

Thanks i'll take a look
Gave +1 Creative Carma to @hushed niche (current: #20 - 103)
it's too much
and i need this urgently
can you show me quick way?
Is there a way to download the old version of lightroom and get the preset? I'm already comfortable in lightroom's settings, I just can't remember exactly what the old filter did to try to reproduce it. Just a thought today that I haven't been able to re-create that same feel
Hit « A », then hold alt and drag the path.
you didn't get it
i want to make the same path in bottom and top sides
it's like a big line
I think you might have to contact customer service as you can only download the N-1 version, IIRC.
Hey is there any kind of physical paper document i can print with the features of photoshop
My boss at work says that he needs a physical piece of paper in front of him to understand whats inside PS
Were Updating our licsense for context
I know there is a cheat sheet somewhere with all the keyboard shortcuts (I can find it for you)
But the user manual was 1500 pages at least when it was printed so...
*gulp
Depends what they need in that ONE sheet of paper!
You want to make a bigger stroke?
honestly just a quick summary of the current features
My boss is my grandfather so hes pretty set in his ways on how things get done
Oh, it has hundreds if not thousands of features…
Oh i know that
