What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far? Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/basic-trouble-shooting-steps.html
What about font-related trouble-shooting?

In Indesign there are several locations wher one can check a placed pixel image’s effective resolution, additionally one can use a preflight profile to keep track of problems (like insufficient effective resolution).

Please mind your manners.
You don’t seem to have carefully read the answer you got in the other thread.

What were the image’s original pixel dimensions and its effective resolution in your layout?
Could you please post screenshots taken at View > 100% of the original image and the upsampled copy you created?

It seems to me you either misremember or your descriptions are misleading.
In Photoshop there is no spot color vector data (so far) – period.
If the cutter can recognize paths in a tif/jpg/psd/… as a cutting line that would be another matter.

I am afraid you need to remove the fringes (hair etc.) to be able to use the background for other images without having to check for such details each time.
So you could use the original selection/mask, expand it a bit and use Generative Fill to »fill in« the »missing parts« of the background and then save that completed background as a new file to place in the other images.

The resolution (which is given in ppi, not dpi) by itself is irrelevant.
But the filesize would seem to support the suspicion that the image is small – which might translate to »bad« in this case.

The reflection can be faked with a second instance of the Smart Object (at reduced opacity) and a Gradient (either as a Layer or a Mask).

Could you please clarify what you are saying? I did not understand it.
Same here.
Please explain what you actually meant by your original post.
Photoshop has rudimentary video editing capabilities but it is not a proper video editor, so this Forum might not be the proper place for your request in any case.
If you are primarily talking about Firefly itself please post on the Firefly Forum.

Even if I feed the textKey Object back to the ActionDescriptor the size changes – which does not happen with a completely new type layer in a new document.
There seems to be something »special« about the Layer/File …
Edit: Resetting the Characters does naturally remove the color etc., but leaves the size unchanged and subsequently the Script seems to work as intended on the Layer.

It's not that my network I try to use it on the Adobe website. This problem also occurs.
How confident are you of that assessment? (By which I am not claiming that you are wrong.)
Even if you try using Photoshop Web or Firefly that would still be subject to any bottlenecks etc. that affect your network.

I don’t follow, could you please post screenshots or mockups to illustrate?
If this is about auto-translating spoken language in video I expect you should not even consider Photoshop for such a thing but check out Adobe Premiere – I think I saw an Adobe Max video on this, but it may only have been a presentation of an as-of-yet unreleased project.

That the Layers are apparently Clipping Maksed to what seems like an empty Layer would mean that they do not show at all.

@BongBong6868 , as @Stephen Marsh already hinted at: The people sending you degraded files should stop deliberately damaging the images before handing them off to you.
• If I remember correctly Illustrator’s Image Trace has been improved in recent years and should be able to create proper gradients – I am not sure if it would do so well enough for your needs and it would likely not fit well inside your workflow.
• Libraries’ »Extract from Image« does not seem to be fully up to the task.
I guess I concur with @pixxxelschubser ’s assessment.
And the same goes for reconstructing Strokes and Drop Shadows, which you also mentioned in the original post.
In this day and age it may be tempting to wonder: »Couldn’t AI do it?« and the answer would probably be: »Yes« but would it be worth the resources?

»But I've already done this with other versions of Photoshop. When I created a vector in Pantone, it automatically created a Spot channel.«
That does not seem likely or even sensible – after all what good would a channel (instead of vector data) be for the die cutter?
In which Photoshop version do you think you did this?

I wonder if there may be something particular about that Type Layer yet.
Copying the text manually and pasting it in a new Type Layer seems to result in 12pt text, too.

I solved the issue by adding the logo to a library in Illustrator, and then adding the logo and other assets from this shared library in Photoshop. I didn't know that Photoshop and Illustrator could communicate like that.
One need not necessarily use the Library, one can place ai files as embedded or linked smart objects in Photoshop images (File > Place …) or just copy-paste elements from Illustrator.
