Yeah, that thread got buried quickly. PS 2018: Smoothing keeps getting re-enabled despite being disabled and locked in Brush & Tool Presets. By the way, fresh install of CC on a fresh install of the OS. ... View more

I've managed to get Smoothing to stay at 0% in the Options Bar and all Smoothing Options (gear icon drop-down) to remain unchecked. However, Smoothing still re-enables itself every restart, always enabled in the Brush Settings panel. Seems pretty bugged through and through and it's causing Healing and Clone Tools to behave chaotic and inaccurate. In addition, a number of the Tools that have Smoothing enabled in the Brush Setting panel don't show any Smoothing adjustment in the Options Bar? Why is that? ... View more

Really wish you would look into this since Photoshop still doesn't follow the standard and expected behavior of tabs following the order that they've been arranged, not the order they were created. Just tried keeping the tab perfectly within the tab bar when moving it and it didn't make any difference, the order is still based on tab creation and not tab placement or position. ... View more

(since this wasn't carried over in the merger...) It is indeed an old issue that Adobe has flat out ignored. From 6 years ago, Adobe's Chris Cox on this very forum: Please let us change the Pen tool path color As explained above, we cannot go back to the way it was in CS3 because the blend modes we used are not available in OpenGL, or in the Cocoa API for MacOS. It's the "...because the blend modes we used are not available in OpenGL..." that kills me. Adobe wrote code that isn't compatible with OpenGL, a universal graphics standard? Who's fault is that? I mean honestly Adobe, just make a new blend mode already for God's sake! ... View more

Status has been changed to "In Progress". So now what? Months of Adobe's shareholders debating the merits of bug fixes or is that already been the holdup? Can hear it now: "But this won't bring us any new subscriptions. Anyone dealing with bugs is already locked in and paying, so who cares? Next item please...blah, blah blah." ... View more

Yep, would make sense, options for different work methods but what's best for the end user doesn't seem too big of a concern for Adobe anymore. Maybe by the time CC 2020 is released there won't be a Preferences panel anymore. Also, I didn't mean to detract from your idea, just throwing a different (and commonly used) option out there. ...

Maybe even truncating the Layer Name in the middle would be better than just hacking off the end. Keeping the last five to ten characters at the end of the name visible at all times may help. Something like this: Long discriptive name since Layers Palette is so infographically limited 07 Long discriptive name since Layers Palette is so infographically limited 08 Long discriptive name since Layers Palette is so infographically limited 09 - to this - Long discriptive name since Layers...limited 07 Long discriptive name since Layers...limited 08 Long discriptive name since Layers...limited 09 ...

David, Is there any way to purchase Affinity software other than the through Apple Store? Every time I click to buy it opens App Store and I don't want Apple involved in my purchases. I was able to download the trial version just fine a while back.

Hey Pat, I agree with you about Bridge scrolling, been an issue for a long, long time off and on but posting on this site is pretty much pointless. Here's a link to an Adobe site that actually matters: Photoshop Family Customer Community (direct link to the Bridge section) I encourage you to start posting there with bugs, issues, etc. You can discuss issues with real Adobe engineers instead of the clowns masquerading around this hack of a "Help" site. ...

Rod, You noticing it when healing to empty layers above the source or directly on the source layer? Or both? Also, are you using the Legacy Healing option or the new, default algorithm with 'diffusion" and all that jazz? Was a huge problem in 2015 / 2015.5 versions. I haven't noticed much in 2017 with the Legacy Healing option on, but to be honest I had to stop noticing it and trying to troubleshoot it and just move on with work. ... View more

joaogdesigner, Completely forgot about doing this for you, sorry. Anyway, here are screenshots of of Neue Helvetica installed on this very machine in Photoshop 2017, if these screenshots are NOT what you were after then carefully and clearly explain what you're wanting to see and I'll post it back up. First image is just FYI, only showing the macOS version in case you were curious. Two other Helvetica Neue families from Linotype are listed immediately below it -  'Helvetica Neue LT Pro' and 'Helvetica Neue LT Std'. Second image: small subset of the Linotype Pro version (not all are loaded). Third image: Linotype Std (Standard) version. ... View more

Gotcha. I was under the assumption you were downloading project materials from a firm, agency, etc. So we're right back where we started - it can be a constant problem and there is no solution other than buying a version that you like to use in place of all the hack versions. People make their own fonts all the time and name them whatever they want, there may well be 100,000 versions of Helvetica Neue out there for all I know. Frustrating. If you're not interested in purchasing it then there is positively no solution for you. You will simply just have to deal with having multiple versions on your machine. I purchased the entire family from Linotype about seven years ago and have never messed with another version since. Linotype: Neue Helvetica® font family. Authentic, genuine and a little expensive but worth it. ... View more

Pierre, already addressed this. Fonts are not public property, there are bought, sold and  controlled like any other art or tool. If you want the real Helvetica  Neue you can get directly from the foundry that created it - https://www.linotype.com/116831/linotype-originals-library.html. - and - There are about 5 billion versions of every font made by random people  available for free and then there are the originals, crafted by the  foundry. If they forgot to include a set of photographs would joaogdesigner then be responsible for reshooting? More than likely he would notify them that some critical elements of the project were missing. joaogdesigner, Allowing another designer access to fonts for the same projects and packaging fonts with projects are both perfectly acceptable. Did the files you downloaded include fonts or not? If they did then you just need to install them and use them, if they did not you need to ask them for the fonts so you can finish the project. It's that simple. And no, there isn't just one single standard Helvetica Neue anymore, there is the original Neue Helvetica from Linotype I posted in the very first reply. Others are legitimate remakes or variations, and a lot are knock-offs and pirated copies. ... View more

joaogdesigner wrote: It's not about being an "authentic" file or having the original font  bought from its founder, it's about avoiding a "missing fonts" notice. I understand completely, it's a constant problem. Any artwork you receive from a designer should be packaged with the fonts they used so for your immediate problem it may be best to let the designer know you need the fonts. For the long term problem, there's no solution really. You can turn on 'font substitution' but that lends itself to an entirely new set of problems, a major one being having to do typesetting everything from scratch again. There are about 5 billion versions of every font made by random people available for free and then there are the originals, crafted by the foundry. joaogdesigner wrote: Is there some big difference between otf and ttf formats? Does the MacOS Helvetica Neue version come as otf or ttf? Which one is the most used? It depends on your needs. If your just needing to print something submitted to you then all you need is the font the designer used. On the other hand, if your the designer then it matters more and OpenType tends to be more flexible, allowing more typesetting and finessing, alternates, ligatures, etc. In all honesty, just ask the designer for the fonts. It's really common and no one will think twice about sending them to you. They probably just forgot to package the project with the fonts. ... View more

macOS comes with a version of it, not sure if Windows does or not, seems like it should. Fonts are not public property, there are bought, sold and controlled like any other art or tool.

Well, I can't see anything wrong here. light and shadows look entirely consistent - the darker clothing just makes the shadows appear darker. the length of the man's shadow is consistent with his height. to me, the shadows seem to follow the ground contour well. the foot is fine - there's just a pile of dirt in front of it. there's no patch on the shoulder - just a faint line on the wall. Completely agree with each item. The length of the shadows is entirely consistent when factoring in the camera lens and the focal length (and the perspective distortion associated with them). Only thing slightly odd to me is the Moiré pattern on the walls - really looks like when a camera captures the telecine process off a TV. No big deal if it is from a TV, just weird if it's not. ...
