That's a valid question. In reality,, the purpose is different from the "sending to printer" scenario. I currently have days where I must log in to my work computer remotely to access our centrall server. I then must occasionally download a PSD file off the server, then work on it on my home computer. This of course sometimes involves installing fonts onto my home computer so I can make the required text changes. I was hoping to gather those fonts used into a single folder, for transfer to my home computer. I used the "for printer" scenario because I felt other artists would be most familiar with that scenario, rather than my scenario.

This was an excellent suggestion. Thank you so much! "Use the Creative Cloud Library. Click on the fly out menu top right, and choose Create new library from document. It will save all fonts used, as well as colour swatches, styles, smart objects etc."

Is there a plugin available for Photoshop which will export a Photoshop file and its associated fonts into a tidy folder, to then be sent off to a print shop or whatever? Or, alternately, is there a way to generate a list of fonts utilized in a Photoshop file?

(Pshop 23.0.1, Mac OS 11.6) When I use my cursor to drag-select a bunch of elements in my document, it won't grab text blocks (even though the Layers palette shown them to be selected). How do I know this? Well, once I drag-select my elements, I'll use the Transform command to scale it all, but only the non-text items will scale. What's going on here? Maybe I bumped a setting, somewhere?

(Mac OS 11.6, Pshop 23.2.2) I just updated Photoshop to v23.2.2. It messes up the Levels adjustment layers in my existing files. Not all, but some. The layer might appear as a solid black square, or like it has a "solarize" filter. Anyhoo, keep up the good work, Adobe! Such a great feeling knowing I'm paying $52/month for the privilege of participating in an endless betaware experiment.

@M_G6 With no document open, configure the tool how you wish. This should then become the new default. By @Stephen Marsh This worked. Thank you!

(Pshop 22.5.1, Mac OS) Every time I draw a rectangle with the shape tool in a new document, Photoshop assumes I want 10px radiused corners, and a 1pt gray stroke. How can I tell Pshp that I always want to start with square corners (0px radius) and no stroke? Thanks-

So, is there any chance that is happening? Or, is your computer running any software that modifies keystrokes, the Open/Save dialog box, etc? No, no chance of that. I tried rt-clicking file-->Open With-->Photoshop, I tried File--Open through Photoshop, but no luck. It just opens the file as a straight PSD. EDIT: I got to thinking maybe this particular PDF was the problem, so I tried opening another one, and sure enough, the dialog box opened. Didn't think to try that earlier, as this was the first time I have ever encountered the problem(!) Anyway, thanks for the assistance.

@JJMack wrote: So your decree is Adobe reasons are invalid for creating "Photoshop Ecosystem" and you lack of knowledge about different PDF files formats make you thinks that PDF files now open differently then they did in the past. Acrobat's PDF file formats open through an Import PDF UI where you can Import PDF Items like and images as Photoshop Documents. Where Photoshop's PDF file format open directly into Photoshop like a Layered imaged file. This is not a perfect world you are on the thirt rock from the Sun. It's called "feedback". Considering I have paid Adobe thousands of dollars for the privilege (cough-cough!) of using their software for 30 years, and suffered through all of the betaware they've foisted upon their paying customers over the years, I think I'm entitled to express my opinion on their products. Deal with it. Some people do not like when a feature or function simply disappears overnight with no explanation. Especially when they have deadlines to deal with. Buthtis is what happens when a company becomes too big to fail. They do whatever they want, then hire "Community Professionals" with condescending attitudes to offer "helpful support".

First, what the heck is a "Photoshop Ecosystem"? Why do you keep changing things for no good reason? I kept thinking I was in the wrong forum (and for all I know, I still might be). Second, I have the very latest Photoshop on my Mac. Now when I open a PDF, it just opens the PDF. Previously, when I open a PDF, I got a window which lets me select either "pages" or "images". This was great for extracting photos or other elements from a PDF. How can I get this feature back?

Ok I found the checkox. It was not checked. That cleared it up, thanks. Just curious, why didn't that preference get imported when I installed Version 17?

While working with spreads, in all previous versions, I'd select the Page Tool, click the page I want to move, move it (with a few clicks of the Right arrow key, or sometimes SHIFT+ Right arrow), and it would move both the page AND the artwork sitting on the page. Now, with Version 17, this action only moves the page, and NOT the artwork. Why, Adobe? I'm on an iMac.

Thanks. It's a mystery to me how so many companies can seem to work just fine with Adobe programs directly from a server.

(Mac OS Big Sur, Pshop 22.4.2) I get this weird issue whenever we work in Photoshop directly off our server (Windows server) where when I save the file in the course of my work, Photoshop generates an empty folder in the server directory (I can also see these folders on the actual server when viewed directly on the Windows computer.) . As you can see in the attached photo, I have saved this document three times. How can I get Pshop to stop doing this? It happens in any version of Pshop I use, so it's not a problem exclusive to the latest version. It was also doing it before I upgraded to OS Big Sur. I should also mention that Illustrator and InDesign do not do this.

(Pshop 22.4.1, Mac Catalina) Today Photoshop has decided, against my wishes, that I want all shapes drawn with the rectangle shape tool to have a 10 px radius on all corners. What sort of Satanic software is Adobe selling? And how do I tell Photoshop I want all future rectangles drawn with the rectangle shape tool to default back to a 0 corner radius, and that the decision to add a corner radius is for reserved for me, and not Photoshop?

(InDesign 16.1, Mac OS Catalina) Can anyone tell me why InDesign keeps generating these weird little test files? They do not go away after I close the document. I have to manually throw them away. A "Get Info" on the file shows it is a Unix exectuable, with Zero bytes. I'm working off a Windows 10 server. (Ignore the "Dropbox" label on the window frame, it's just the name of the main folder.)

Ok I have a little problem. One day I was deleting a layer mask via the layers tab window. I dragged the mask to the trash symbol, then I got a pop-up, asking if I wanted to apply the mask before I deleted it. There was of course a little checkbox in this window for "Do not show this notice again." Well, I checked it. I shouldn't have, because now whenever I delete a mask, it automatically applies the mask to the layer. How do I go back to unchecking the "Do not show this again" thing? Thanks.

I have two video tracks. Track 1 is a video of a scenic background. Track 2 (placed in front of track 1) is a talking head shot on a green screen. When I import it, its physical size is roughly half of the background track. How can I resize the green screen track to match, or cover, the size of the background video track? Thank you-

With the advent of the new CC desktop app, I can no longer seem to see the release notes for the latest updates for download when they become available. Is there somewhere on the Adobe site I can go to see what I'm downloading, and what was fixed/improved?

No, but I'm beginning to think I'm working on a corrupted file. Any new file I create does not appear to have this problem.
