It can help if you tell people which language you prefer. Sometimes a good soul is willing to help in a language other than English (I know I do for French, and we normally discuss in a #1223011682012369027 thread, so as not to clutter the main channel with another language...

How do I make the image editable?

viral palm
# ember sparrow How do I make the image editable?

To change Smart object editable you must Rasterize it... Right click on thumbnail (in layer panel) then > Rasterize Layer.
Note this is a destructive way... I should suggest you to keep working with smart object as much as you can.
If you want to erase your selection It would better to use masking technique on a smart object (still editable) than erasing pixel of a rasterized layer.

hey I want to learn how to make life size things bigger within a photo; like this: this isn't my photo and not taking credit for it and only showing it off as an example; could I do this with AI?

# haughty storm I'm using PS Beta because I couldn't figure out how to find some of the features...

@ripe quest is right and I'm sorry if you didn't quite understand what I was saying. I would say that some of the technologies presented in Sneaks are probably integrated into Photoshop Ai functions (using firefly), but not exactly as they are presented in Sneaks... I'm pretty sure that Photoshop's generative expand, image reference...etc. functions use some of the code developed for the Clever Composite project.
Sneaks are like concept cars... They rarely end up on the market as presented.

I see the composite feature on the firefly site, will have to give that a try and see what it does 🙂

# midnight onyx I just typed something like "seamless tileable scales" into google and used what...

Try this technique... Make a long band of your pattern, Use Edit>Transform>Perspective to squeeze it on the end then turn it in smart object and use Edit>Puppet Warp to warp texture over your tale shape (add pins by clicking on the mesh where the texture must rotate)... I'm going to bed so if you're not familiar with puppet warp I suggest you to make a quick search for "puppet warp photoshop" on YT. Maybe someone else will have a better idea later but it's the first I have for now.

Hello! I'm very new to Photoshop and I'm running into some issues when it comes to creating a mock-up of a menu that I'm making for a project. I've got two issues but let's just stick to one of them for now ;p

I've got this shape that I want to make semi-transparent, but thing is, when it overlaps with another shape it becomes less transparent. I want there to be no difference between the two shapes other than the outline. I was thinking that I could just do inverted beveling on the corner but not sure how to actually achieve that. Any help? :o

The closest thing I got was this using Layers > Combine Shapes > Unite Shapes but the outline is still there ;o

I made a circle and divided it into 6 triangles and cut each triangle out manually into their own images. My goal is to add a gradient to each triangle that goes from the top of the triangle to the bottom.
My problem with this is that since all of the triangles are cut out from one shape, all of them have 0 rotation. Is there anyway to calculate the rotation of each triangle instead of just guessing / and or is there a better and easier way to apply a gradient to all of them?

# haughty storm quick question, can that be done on JPGs without losing quality like with actual...

Not sure to understand your question but: You can open your jpg in Photoshop, right click beside the thumbnail in layer panel (not on the thumbnail) and choose « convert to smart object » > your image layer is now a smart object so if you apply a Camera Raw filter on it you’ll still able to remove it or change settings later… That’s a non destructive way to work.
Only bad side is if you want to save your file and keep it editable you have to save it as a psd or .tiff but file size will increase a lot (3Mb jpg can be around 140Mb in tif but keeps smart object filters)
You can also use Lightrroom classic (if you have a Creative cloudsubscription or a photography plan) you can keep your original and edit/devellop the image in new version you can edit afterward… I’m not a Lightroom user but there are some on this server (if you need help with it)

For some strange reason, the brightness of colours in photoshop is reduced, as you can see the image on the left (photoshop) is more muted than the image on the right which is in a different app i need some way to revert this since before colours were equally as bright.

FYI this affects ALL Photoshop files, files created before the issue began and after, i also dont remember changing any colour settings and in fact i dont even know how to

Also this is adobe photoshop 2023, i dont use 2024 because its much slower

# vague bough what's the best way to colour a smart object?

It depends what your smart object is made from (live shapes, rasterized shapes), and what you want to do with your modified smart object...
Easiest way is to apply a layer FX>Color overlay (but it's limited if you want to apply blend mode to your smart object).
If your smart object is already colored and you want to change color you can clip a Hue and saturation adjustment layer to it... There are a lot of alternatives to change color of a smart object...

i mostly go for the selection route, and just paint bucket it- not sure that's the best way though

I am getting lag with my tablet & photoshop that is hard to describe.
Its NOT brush lag, there's no brush lag. Its interface lag that only occurs when using a tablet pen.

Example of this lag: with the move tool if I click and drag on something, it immediately moves
If I do the same action with my tablet pen, it sits there and does nothing like 1/4th a second before suddenly leaping over .

Another place is any kind of slider does the same, if I try to scrub the Opacity slider it will do so smoothly with my mouse, but freeze and jerk suddenly if I use my tablet pen. Is there any way to fix this?

#

turning off 'Use Windows Ink' fixes this, except then I get no tablet pen pressure

Could just be that there's a difference in quality :o

Is there a way to completely replace an image with another? Like, same position, same effects, everything.

#

Without having to actually go through and place it at the same spot, scale it down to the same size, add all the effects, etc?

haughty storm
#

that, I'm not sure; I'm still learning some things

#
#

not sure that's the best way to do it, but its one way I suppose

hazy galleon
#

Where can I find "Replace Content"?

#

My images all use the same size and aspect ratio so this sounds the easiest.

haughty storm
#

idk, I've never done it but I would love to for future references

ripe quest
#

You replace what is inside the Smart Object (basically an embedded Photoshop Document) and any Styles or Filters that were attached stay intact.

haughty storm
#

double click the smart object, delete, insert new content and save then bam?

ripe quest
#

Basically...

haughty storm
#

ah... so the first answer is NG... ah ok this is cool!

hazy galleon
#

Ah replace contents doesn't work since I've resized the image ;/

haughty storm
#

is it a smart object?

hazy galleon
#

Yeah I've now converted it.

haughty storm
#

it should leave everything intact, you're only editing the smart object the size and everything should be the same when you're done

hazy galleon
#

Oh does the entire group have to be a smart object?

#

Or only the image I want to edit?

haughty storm
#

nah just the image you want to edit

hazy galleon
#

Huh I'm a bit confused. When I delete I delete the entire layer, in other words the smart object.

haughty storm
#

it shouldn't... lemme try

#

nope it didn't delete the layer; I deleted the image, the layer is still there

hazy galleon
#

What are you using to select the image?

haughty storm
#

I just had it select the subject since I only had one thing on the layer

#

lemme see if I can make a quick vid

#

there's lots of ways to delete something but idk what you're working on so I can't really advise

#

I tend to work with subjects or whole images so its easy to delete for the most part

#

hope that helps 🙂

hazy galleon
#

Hm that seems to be different from what I wish to achieve pepethink

haughty storm
#

you said you wanted to replace, so you gotta delete the image first ofc

#

basically delete what you don't want, put in the new image then save it and it should work

hazy galleon
#

This is what I've got.

#

I wish to replace the bottom icon with a different one, same size, same effects, everything

#

Just a new image (that also has the same original size as the previous image, 56x56).

haughty storm
#

hmm

#

I did image replace no problem

#

only problem I had was the image was not the same size as the smart object so there's that

hazy galleon
#

Yeah the issue I have is that it's just like a normal image. It's not too bad to just, redo the size and effects but, I'm going to have quite a lot of tabs :o

haughty storm
#

not sure how to do it, but I'd do the smart object replace method, you can open up the smart object, leave the original image there, drop in the new one on a new layer IN the smart object it will cover the original image; once satisfied you can delete the original image's layer and you're left with that layer, btw you can have more than one layer IN the smart object too 😉

#

that's how I'd do it, IDK of any other way other than that link but that seems to be not the best way anymore since smart objects are the way to go

Best way is to paint the different type of shadows on seperate layers. Best blend mode to use is Multiply with a dark color (not black but a dark tone from your picture). Use a soft brush with low flow. Gif below show you an exemple. Hope it will help you.

Hi @last aurora
One possible variant:
Use the filter: other filters -> offset to shift your image horizontally by half the total number of pixels.
Then retouch the edges at the transition.

you can make an animation from a single picture? Neat...!

Hello people, I am trying to edit a mouth tape piece to peoples mouths. Yes that sound's odd but its for my business and whenever I add it on it never looks realistic as its not showing the realism of the mouth underneath. Ill send a photo to show what I mean.

haughty storm
#

I'm not an expert at this kind of thing, nor have I done any kind of work but based on what I've learned recently you'll want to use the liquify tool to move the pixels so that it looks like its on somone's mouth; or do something really cool, find a photo of someone's mouth taped and cut that part out and then integrate it into your existing photos 😉

woeful fjord
#

Great idea thank you 🙂

haughty storm
#

yeah, I like to be creative; I try to think of ideas 😉 there's so many ways you can do this 😉

woeful fjord
#

Any better? Still feel like its not working 😦

#

The product that I am trying to sell is the black material I am putting on the pictures, I appreciate your help 100% but am trying to get that black mouth tape on peoples lips

#

This is the product

haughty storm
#

oh you're trying to put your product on it, interesting

haughty storm
#

best thing I can suggest is to use liquify tool; I agree it does look weird but even the product image shows the tape looking super smooth

vapid flume
#

I would use either the warp tool, or liquify, and possibly the displace filter to have the lighting and shadow right

#

check in the online help for the displace filter (commonly called "displacement map") to learn how to use it because it's a bit not straightforward to use (but terribly powerful)

#

But I am assuming you got the product handy, so I would take a proper photo of the product on a friend's face in similar lighting conditions and angle as the model you chose, it will be easier to transfer from one photo to the other

#

I also hope you'll get a notice on your product for people with a Deviated septum (common cause of snoring) because otherwise it's a recipe for failure!

haughty storm
#

as in they can't breathe through their nose (Deviated septum)?

vapid flume
#

Yes, like me. I can breathe from my nose, but I wouldn't try to spend a whole night doing so 🙂

haughty storm
#

hopefully their tape is breathable

#

so while keeping within the rules, I do have a question about PDFs containing images, some people sell images inside of PDFs, can those images be imported into photoshop for further editing or use?

#

though I'm sure the quality of the images in the PDFs are also of concern

haughty storm
#

oh? I didn't know you could even open PDF right in PS

vapid flume
haughty storm
#

good to know, TIL

vapid flume
#

Also because I can, I will also point out that you can use Adobe Bridge to wade through pages of a long PDF (a short one if you wish too! 😁)
That's something I use all the time, so I don't have to open it in ts entirety and only open the page I need.

This annoucement was posted by the Adobe Bridge lobbying group (only one member)

buh, iirc lightroom can see PDFs too

hi i need help

#

so i have two layers that i am working on

#

i wanna select then copy a place that evolve both layers but it is only selecting the current layer i am on
if i select both layers it will just copy the hole image

#

what to do ?

haughty storm
#

not sure I totally understand, you want to copy both layers? Just select those two layers, it shouldn't copy the whole image unless the 2nd layer has the whole image on it? Screenshot your sample?

wanton tartan
#

yes one of the layers have the image

haughty storm

#

Where do you need to copy these two layers?

wanton tartan
#

into a new layer

haughty storm
#

how many layers do you have altogether right now?

#

tbh if you just want to copy the contents from two layers, I'd hide all the layers you don't want, and merge visible or flatten visible, etc

in mu picture there is a person who is looking at the left side

i want him to look at the right side

wanton tartan

just select him then ctl t then flip horozantly

#

alas

vapid flume
wanton tartan
#

no idea why it worked

vapid flume
#

then it lets you choose where to duplicate it... Any open document or a new one

wanton tartan
#

i do not want to duplicat the the hole layers
i juas t want a pace of the two

vapid flume
#

I never really "trust" copy and paste personnallly

wanton tartan
# wanton tartan

the part in the dark is in different layer then the one up that is lite
i want to get both of them at the same time
i am just giving a example

haughty storm
#

do be aware flipping the image can have some unwanted effects if the person is wearing a graphic shirt

haughty storm
vapid flume
#

Or, I would turn them into a smart layer

#

I don't like copy and paste, except when I copy illustrator path to PS, it's the only way to have access to vector info easily

haughty storm
#

I now turn everything into a smart layer when it makes sense; I don't do it for shadows because transforming them gets weird

wanton tartan
#

i juast want to understand

#

why photoshop dose not have a sample all layers in the selection tools
specially marquee tool

haughty storm
#

it does

#

but idk how to use it

wanton tartan

the marquee tool specifically

i found two way to pay around what i want
1- marge the two layers then select what i want ( a very bad idea most of the time)
2- select part of both layers induvial then marge both ( annoying way)

#

it would be easyer in they add sample all layers to marquee tool

haughty storm
#

idk why they don't; but there's lots of ways to get around this

#

I don't like merge visible because losing transparency happens sometimes

wanton tartan
#

how can i suggest photoshop to add this future to photoshop?
i am surprise no one actually asked for it all the time

haughty storm
wanton tartan
#

well try it

#

low hope ngl

haughty storm
#

even if you can't edit it, you can undo

#

but that's the nice thing about smart objects is you can edit several layers as one if that's how you want it

wanton tartan
#

well see

#

i will go eat i am starving
this photoshop problem took all my day

#

is it well or will i keep forgating

haughty storm
#

yeah it can take time to learn these things, I spent all day doing that yesterday 😄

#

now I'm learning more stuff

vapid flume
#

@wanton tartan When you select anything, with any selection tool (including with a brush based selection tool) you are acting on the pixel content of a particular layer. That's how Photoshop works, if you need a selection done of the pixel content of more than one layer, you need to merge those layer and have your selection act on that merged layer. That'sjust how photoshop is built (I don't know any software that would act like you'd want it too, but I don't know every software either)
All you do in photoshop, you are doing it on the layer you have selected.

#

If you want to apply a filter on more than one layer? same smart layer or merge

#

Want to apply a colour on a layer with a layer style? Same Smart layer, merge or group

haughty storm
#

and you can pick more than one layer; hide the ones you don't want to work with so you're not confused; its really very flexible

wanton tartan
vapid flume
#

Sometimes you can get away with groups, but not with selections

wanton tartan
haughty storm
#

how do you mean? if I pick two layers either merge or make smart object I can select everything, but you're right if I just select two layers I can't select everything

vapid flume
#

I am, unfortunately, not a Photoshop developper and I don't know the why of most things (Except that I probably never needed that option, since I would always merge if I needed to)

wanton tartan
vapid flume
wanton tartan
#

i see

haughty storm
#

there's no right/wrong way to do anything unless it doesn't achieve what you want 😛

vapid flume
# wanton tartan it is very simple just add sample all layers option just like it exist in clone...

These used to not have that option of sampling all the layers (I'm talking olden days) When it was that way, we used to merge the layers. That's actually a keyboard shortcut that is burn in my mind (and probably in most power users brains!)
CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E... Creates a copy of all the visible layers, merged in just one layer. That's probably one of the most used keyboard shortcut in Photoshop (and actually, weirdly, not part of a one-click menu entry)

haughty storm
#

I'm a long time hobby user of photoshop off and on, but yeah I remember a lot of features that we have no weren't there before, its getting to be a lot easier to use PS LOL we needed this stuff 20 years ago

You can't edit directly with the pen tool, but you can use the pen tool to draw a precise path, right click on that path and choose "Make selection" and use that selection to fill your mask with black, white or grey

I believe the path option still applies, you'll need to make a vector path for each part it seems

how do i delete this fine line? its from the sword picture i imported

hahahahahaha

#

I'm used to doing it the old way by changing the canvas size tool

grave spire

So is there no way to get the text aligned with each section?

that's probably inefficient, takes longer butif it works; why not

if you export that as jpg then reload it would it stay?

woeful python

how is it called crop if you can increase

the canvas size

not sure what that line is, have you tried using the eraser tool? If nothing gets rid of it, you have some kind visual aid turned on

if the easer tool not working make suer you are one the correct layer

tidal shard

but i think it doesnt work because of this small icon?

no it have nothing to do with the size of it

its possible, see if you can undo a few steps and see if it goes away?

#

you can always redo

try to paint on it then erais maybe
no idea

damn

how about this

you can undo ofc after that if you don't want that

i just had to rasterize it

anyways, thanks! 🙏🏼

#

not sure how rasterizing has anything to do with that line but hey it worked I guess

grave spire
woeful python
#

cant erase without rasterizing

#

idk why

#

but it just is

haughty storm
#

actually you can erease without rasterizing, I just checked; but all my layers are smart objects

haughty storm
haughty storm
#

ok, easy; use the type tool, rotate the text and move tool and if you have one of the more recent PS the auto centering/snapping tools might be able to help

woeful python
#

atleast not on my side

#

maybe using a layer mask technically you can "erase" but you're just masking

haughty storm
#

what PS version do you have?

woeful python
#

2024

haughty storm
woeful python
#

yeah true

haughty storm
#

masks have their own mask layers

#

I'll prove it to you; one sec

woeful python
#

im confused

haughty storm
#

see for yourself

#

I literally erased ON the layer itself without rasterizing, the mask is unaffected, it doesn't even create a mask

#

the mask is there cuz I removed the background, has nothing to do with erasing, you def can erase without rasterizing first otherwise what would the point of non destructive editing be?

#

mind you, that layer isn't even a smart object

#

huh I can't convert it to smart object anymore 😦 LOL

#

oh, well you were right

#

but it doesn't create a mask though

#

ah thanks

glow them? Glow them how exactly? Radiating glow? You could do that with an outer glow for each piece on its own layer with the same colors

Installed the newest version of PS (was using 2023) & haven't played with any settings. The color picker is showing a different color than what I selected (in image: picking the darker pink - showing muted pink/almost tan color in preview ring)

so use adjustments if they are on each layer you can make an adjustment layer for each to change brightness, etc

eh I'm curious about this, sometimes I run into this too so would like to know

haughty storm
#

I sorta accomplished it

#

I didn't clip it per se

#

its not what they want tho

vapid flume
#

Yes I was about to suggest that bit I didn't know if that's what you wanted to achive

haughty storm
#

its not mine, but its close but the thing is if what I think they want then the hole will be visible

vapid flume
#

Your only other -easy-solution is to fill the tranpsparency with white (fill a circle with white or any colour, put it underneat, merge the layers and clip the pumpkin on top of it

haughty storm
#

yeah I'll probably do that but I don't think it'll work exactly

vapid flume
#

I notice the edges around the empty space is VERY jagged, I think this won't look very neat

haughty storm
#

yeah it is jagged, not sure why; I'll try it again with just clipping it

vapid flume
#

Or try to mask the pumpkin with a mask in the shape of the planet? something around that?

#

I think I would recreate the planet with the pen tool, and make it a path, that could be used as a vector mask or something. And it will look smooth

#

when I say planet, I am thinking the shape of the transparent part

haughty storm
#

just trying to keep it simple gonna see if clipping would just be good enough but now I need to figure out how I can open the image in the planet shape without having to open it separately?

#

the resolution are vastly different

vapid flume
#

it looks like it was badly cut out too
Not much you can do if the pixel count isn't there

#

Anyhow, I will retreat as I still have some work to do 🙂

#

Bye!

haughty storm
#

🙂 ty for the help

vague bough
#

has anyone got any tips on getting rid of the visible lines when using the ai fill?

haughty storm
#

tried to make a clipping mask, it works with the planet over the pumpkin but not the other way around but if I hide the image behind the pumpkin, the pumpkin disappears too

vague bough
#

here's a better example

haughty storm
#

oh that vertical structure; you'll probably just need to mask it out with a brush/pen

vague bough
#

i have to mask out the entire pillar?

haughty storm
#

if that's what you don't want, that's one way to do it, IDK any other way

vague bough
#

i was able to make it a bit better

haughty storm
#

ah blurring it works but its kind of out of place cuz nothing else is that blurred at speed but you also have a 2nd vertical line right above the front of the car too

vague bough
#

yeah it is out of place

haughty storm
#

for the 2nd line I'd just use athe spot/healing brush

#

err content aware fill brush

#

actually you could do that for the pillar too

#

well I'll be back once someone can help me with the clippming mask issue

This is where CaptureOne AI selection gets you.

#

It just... works.

#

So if you have C1, load it into that and you're off to the races.

#

Otherwise just use your blue channel as the basis for an alpha mask

#

becaus that blue channel gonna have contrast for days.

haughty storm
#

talking to me?

#

CaptureOne?

stiff trail
#

Assuming you're in charge of MopDog, yes

haughty storm
#

😛 oh I wasn't sure you were talking to me cuz you mentioned something I wasn't expecting

stiff trail
#

If you want to isolate MopDog in PS, use the blue channel

haughty storm
#

errm is there a tutorial on this? I was looking for one but couldn't find one magic wand can actually select based on color but like you said the blue is going to go on for days

stiff trail
#

Copy the blue channel to an alpha channel, then just refine it with levels/curves/burn tool

#

Dan Margulis labours over channel selections in his book

haughty storm
#

ah idk how to do that

#

Moment.

#

Oldschool Aaron coming in Clutch.

#

In this example the hair's black and the background is white, you kinda have an inverse of that, but the principles are the same.

haughty storm
#

ok, that should be doable

#

looknig at C1AI its better than PS?

stiff trail
#

For automatic selection, yes.

#

Very much so.

haughty storm
#

is it easy?

stiff trail
#

However it's only a RAW editor, like LR, so if you want to use it to generate masks there are some... workflow issues.

haughty storm
#

ahh ok

#

I'll stick with PS then and use the vid

#

kinda surprised Adobe isn't there with that

stiff trail
#

I had to mask 60 animals for large format prints, and so I used the AI selections in C1 to make basically alpha masks as TIFFs, export those, then layer them back into the PS files to isolate the animals

haughty storm
#

I have no idea the comparison, just going off based on what you're saying

stiff trail
#

Yes, Adobe's "Select Subject" is consistently disappointing.

haughty storm
#

I've gotten good results mostly until now

stiff trail
#

Given their astronomic resources compared to Capture One's devteam.

#

The "Select Object" tool in marquee mode works a lot better for me than just hitting the "Select Subject" button, mind you.

haughty storm
#

but you're right select subject is still very hit/miss I don't quite need an advanced app like C1 but I would like to find similar tools like C1 that are as good as C1 tho

stiff trail
#

Presumably the additional shape context halps.

#

IDK, I use C1 for the majority of processing and PS for pixel retouching. I don't have much time or energy left to look elsewhere 😦

haughty storm
#

oh ok lemme try select obj

Definitely watch the video.

I'd smack it with the remove tool to see where that gets you, then (personally) I'd just repaint it. It's anime, so there's little surface texture to worry about.

#

Mixer brush on a low frequency layer of a frequency separation if you wanna be careful about it.

haughty storm
#

so far this copying blue to Alpha channel isn't helping, he just copied the blue channel, darkend it and then brushed the mask some and made the selection get deeper into the darker pixels

#

the blue channel unfortunately is almost the same color as the dog as is the background

That sort of thing

That was a very crude selection with selective olour to smush it toward the right colour, then FS, low freq mixer brush to blend it in, then HF clonestamp to take the artifacts out.

#

Blurp can you post the original unaugmented dog?

#

I do see wehre blue is darkest in the center

#

its a real crappy background they used

#

wonder if replacing the color to black would be any better?

Learn to draw instead of using genAI? 😄

#

BLurple in my tiredness I said Blue channel, I of course meant Red.

#

That gives you max contrast between dog and paper

That was for the anime guy

#

Not you

#

So copy the red channel out for a mo, levels it

#

Then use the dodge tool on the doggo

limber jolt
stiff trail
#

You wanna end up somewhere like this

#

But it IS a heavily polluted image, that blue is strong through the white fuzz

#

so you're on a "worst case" kinda image.

#

Whatever BG you lay it onto you can then use generative fill to fix the roughly blended areas

#

I find it works really quite well for hairs, and is faster than painting in your own strays

#

THen you can copy that alpha to a layermask and use Select and Mask to "Decontaminate colours" with a bit of edge refinement

haughty storm
#

huh that's GREAT!

#

ahh I'm still learning how to do this

stiff trail
#

It's not gonna be fantastic because you've got depth of field blur mixing your BG into your fur

#

So expect some manual tidyup and artistic lisence.

#

#

Again, whatever you're pasting it ONTO will dictate your success

#

as some things will hide your errors more than others.

haughty storm
#

ah ok I'll pass on this dog then 😦

#

thought it would fit great in the halloween scene, this is a real dog breed, never see them that way tho

#

this one any better @stiff trail ?

stiff trail
#

Try it !

#

You only learn by doing

#

I'd soldier on with the white dog, you'll learn a lot.

haughty storm
#

I would but would take me a long time I'll keep it and poke at it later

haughty storm
#

hmm I still can't reveal the extra details like Phlearn says to do @stiff trail ; I'm revealing the detail through the layer mask but its not doing anything idk why

#

eh I think I know why

haughty storm

I gave up, left too many artifacts

Hello. HAs anyone experienced issues with trying to open a file in Photoshop causing a crash? Just File -> Open... crash. Don't even get to select a file. Or File -> Open -> "On Your Computer" ... crash. I've tried switching GPU processing on and off, changing my scratch disk, deleting my preferences. Opening it from the past files list, or dragging and dropping, both work. Just not File -> Open.

#

<crash exception="EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" exceptionCode="0xc0000005" instruction="0x00007FF65F856180">

how do I unroll an eyeball? lol, I mean, I want to create a flat image to put onto a 3d model, using an eye texture I have, but the texture I have is round, and the morph/warp tool doesn't flatten it enough. Is there a better way than creating 100 strips to 'flatten' it ?

How do I make it so when I click this

#

It doesn't GRAB it and make me resize it

#

But instead just select the layer

#

Because every time I click it, it grabs it, as if I'm holding down left click

vapid flume
#

THe add on is called "UV Squares" apparently

vapid flume
#

you'll have ddifferent states of the cursor and yours needs to be (the screenshot app I have won't pick up cursors)
But to decribe them, you need to see a big black arrow, slanted to one side, instead of a small double north/south arrow

#

videos pick up the cursor

#

assuming your talking about the transform controls of course, it could be the rectangle tool but we don't know here
It's always best to screenshot the whole window in order to give the best info as possible. Otherwise people who answer always shoot in the dark

thick cairn
#

So I can get this menu

#

Is there a different method for this menu to pop up when selecting a layer?

#

It's so stupid that by default the cursor grabs the node as if I'm holding down left click though.. why would they design it like that?

vapid flume
#

CTRL+T is the keyboard shortcut for the transform menu

#

otherwise edit>transform>choose your transformation
Or right click on the canvas, with your relevant layer highlighted

#

It's the layer selection that counts to trigger the transformation. If you just want to move it, click and drag inside, if you want to resize click on nodes or on lines.

vapid flume
thick cairn
#

Yes I know, it just still doesn't make sense to me why it holds onto the node with a click, instead of holding down click which would be expected.

#

Thank you though

vapid flume
#

Keyboard or tablet, my old wacom used to do that for some reason

thick cairn
#

Keyboard and Mouse yes.

thick cairn
vapid flume
#

This is not the expected behaviour

thick cairn
#

I've not changed any settings though.

#

Well, other than 1000 states

#

I'll see what I can find in settings I guess. Thank you thus far.

vapid flume
#

Try resetting the prefernences, particularly if you have updated the software recently. Try to see in the CC app if you can update to a newer version as well. But Resetting preferences might do the trick

vapid flume
#

then quit Photoshop

Hi everyone, is that a new thing or CTRL H is no longer working to hide a selection outline?

noticed he has a really hard time focusing on adjusting things, even if you strictly say not to change things, listing them up it still does

ripe quest
#

AI is great at general tasks and it can produce some cool stuff. But the details get muddled.

ripe quest

Lettering is always difficult, regardless and people should just do that with an art program.

crazy to think that something that "simple" would be such a challenge

ripe quest

thats what im saying thats why its "simple", its still a very complex topic if you include all of the features of lettering

Its possible when you have a similar font and know Photoshop. :)

hey guys it's been a while

i have some questions, lately i have been getting design gigs for my local burger tent.
I want to look up professional photos i can use for food.

for e.g.
Loaded frites cheese jalapenos
Loaded frites cheese tenders
Loaded frites homestyle tenders

Where can i look for pictures that have the same theme? e.g. on a plate or wooden plate or in a carton box etc.

@haughty storm i just deleted the leyer i dont wanted to export and now how to resize the workespace to fite to the image size

ripe quest
haughty storm

#

If you're trying to export just a specific layer, you're better off duplicating it to a new document and then exporting it. Don't bother trying to crop it.

haughty storm
#

good idea, it comes out much more "clean" and the dimensions are to the image rather than having to guess

Also, if you're still transforming the layer, finish that first.

fallow berry
#

I haven't changed the desaturated properties yet

ripe quest
#

There is a transformation box around the layer. Were you scaling it down?

fallow berry
#

No, why

haughty storm
#

you have to finish it or its not going to let you make any changes to the layer

fallow berry
#

But when i click on the layer i want to desaturate it doesn't allow me without those blue lines

#

I have tried ctrl+d to deselect but it doesnt workj

haughty storm
#

oh @ripe quest that's not the transform bounding box

#

I have the same thing, when I select a layer, I get the blue box too

It seems relativitly easy to fix so I am just at a confusion

Probably not the same as what they're doing in the tutorial. I didn't watch it. But Adjustment Layers are what I would do.

Aslo a small problem I can't click on the hue saturation either

There are Transform Handles around the Layer. If you're transforming it, you need to complete that FIRST.

I am not tough, but I found the problem

It seems the RGB type thing is only allowing me white and black

How do I change that?
