Yes, I have been using Neural Filters, specifically Photo Restoration. This can sometimes work brilliantly, especially on faces, but not all faces. It seems to use a generic database of peoples faces to learn and use so it is a bit hit and miss. If you did not know the people, many results would look ok but if you know the person, sometimes it is just "not right", other times it is spot on. However, this tool still does not have the ability to be told to learn from specific user supplied examples of faces or things. Maybe in a few years it will have, but not yet. photoshop (maybe the beta) does have a limited capability to blend two images using user specified common points of matching. At present I think it is a max of 4 points. If this was developed more, you could uses a lkot of matching points so that it could use a good image, transform it to match the proportions of the thing you are trying to repair, then add it as a layer mask and then paint in the areas for repair based on a matched selection. But alas, this is also not available yet bu the technology is nearly there, just not included by adobe as yet.

I am not the most experienced scripter or coder but what I think this is saying is that you must first develop a javascript script that then calls upon a python script. The python script I had was written for me by ChatGPT and I wanted to test it out. When it did not work I tried exploring solution options using ChatGPT for advice but nothing seemed to work. I think I have some missing apis or other supporting files, either python version mismatches or photoshop version mismatches. I think I will park this issue for a while, looking at the ChatGPT code, I am not sure it was going to be that effective anyway for what I wanted. I wanted to see if I could get photoshop to repair a photograph (damaged image of a motorcycle) based on learning from onther clean good image of the same model motorcycle.

No, the advice I was goven is just browse for the file at its location. In my case this was the desktop. I can give the presets folder a try but before I do this, I need to look at my other response which seems to indicate that .py files cannot be read directly. THanks

I have a python script for Photoshop, a .py file. The instructions to use this file with Photoshop were to go to File>Script>Browse to load the file. When I do this I can see the .py file but it is greyed out and not recognised as a valid script file. Should PS see these .py file as scripts and If so, what is going wrong here. I an using a Mac with lateset OS and latest version of PS Creative Cloud. I hope someone can solve this problem for me.

I am also having isues with Mocha AE. It seems very buggy and I am reluctant to use it anymore. I cerytainly would not pay for Mocha Pro if Mocha AE is so unstable. I have done the things suggested below but keep having problems. 1. There is small window saying "Mocha is Starting" that does not go away or close 2. It often stops tracking and will not restart 3. It sometimes will not save a project and the Tracking data Overall, my experience so far has been it is too unreliable. I am using the Latest version of AE and Ventura as at 12 Dec 2022. I am using a Mac Studio with 32Gb Ram Does anyone else have similar issues? Are they Known issues and are likely to be addressed soon?

Is it possible to progressively apply multiple Stabilization treatments to a single clip. I.e. Using different stabilization methods to progressively improve that stabilization of shaky footage?

I would like to see better stabilisation features capability in AE or Premiere Pro. Specifically I would like to see features more like what is in Mocha Pro (without the added expense of Mocha Pro). The ability to mask off region(s) to track (rather than points). Using new AI features like Sky, Subject or Background masking to use as Tracking Mattes. The ability to quckly do Horizon detection and stabilisation. The Warp stabiliser just does not cut it in many situations. I do motorbike go pro footage where there are many moving aspects within a frame, especially for older GoPro footage without inbuilt stabilisation which is extremely shaky. The ability to stabilise the horizon and distance would assist greatly. It would also be useful to add different tracking layers (selections) to different parts of the clip where the scene has changed due to changing road or track directions.

Further to my previous post, I have just been looking at the Photoshop Beta feature of Content Aware Fill using another document. This feature is along then lines of what I am seeking. If this could be applied to an AI tranform utility whereby points of the other image could be selected (hopefully many more than the current limit of 4) and paired to the image (or subject selected) on the second image so the target selection could be transformed to perfectly match the size and perspective. This image could be either used to repair original image or, be placed underneath as a layer and then selectively revealed or blended to repair the image.

A feature I would like to see in futures releases of Photoshop is an Ai tool that can analyse objects and learn to transform that object to match or blend with an another object. For example, I have an damaged image of a motorbike that is difficult to repair because of missing parts of the image. I have another stock photo of the same make and model motorcycle in profile but the orienation and view is different from the image I am trying to repair. I have tried using free transform to apply to the good image so that I can overlay the good image on the damaged imagein a layer so that I can repair the image. However this has been a lot more difficult and the results are less than satidfactory. What I would like is have an Ai tool that I can tell to use the good example of an object to learn from and then transform it into a matched perspective so that I can overlay and repair or, the Ai is good enough to look at the good image and then repair the damaged one.

See my post below. This Neural Filter is STILL not available in the latest release AND it is NOT generally available in the BETA version. The Post and Link directly below from SG (an Adobe Employee) is a bit misleading as when you review the Link, it states that some features (presumably this Photo Restoration Neural Filter) are ONLY available in Beta to selected users who have signed an NDA, Not all CC beta users. Can Adobe be more transparent about this Filter Development and indicate: When it will be available to ALL as a Beta Filter, and/or When it is likely to be included in a full production release?

I understand that this Neural Filter (Photo Restoration) has been in the Beta version of Photoshop for some considerable time now. Despite seeing numerous updates released over the past 12 months, this feature is still not been included in the release version. Does anyone (including the folk at Adobe) know when this feature will transition from Beta to full release?

According to the Adobe FAQ page, all neural filters will be vailable from Mac OS 10.15 onwards. We are already up to Mac OS 11.2.1 and still some of the Filters are not available. Does anyone, including Adobe, have any indication of when the remaining Neural Filters will be available or, is there some other place (apart from FAQ page) that is more up to date on progress of releases?

Sorry to pester you again with this but I am still having some difficulty in emulating what you have explained. I am attaching screenshot file as I am unable to upload a psd file in which I have tried created and mimic your screenshot example. However there are a number of differences that I do not yet understand. E.g. My curves 2 mask does not appear to be the same as yours and I am not sure why With all layers selected, my image is now totally Monochrome, whereas your example still shows the original color tint with all layers checked. When I use the Brush to paint on the paint layer (using White) it shows as White Strokes (exaggerated example in file) The Mask on Background copy 2 is totaly black, painting on the Paintbrush layer has no effect. The Pattern Overlay Pattern I have used is Noise (64x64 pxl) RGB mode at 50% opacity. I could not find pattern called Monochrome Add Noise on 50% Gray. I appreciate your help in this matter and are keen to improve my Photoshop skills and hence want to understand what I am not getting right here.

Thanks for posting this. I am not familiar with this technique and have tried to follow your example. When I have all layers selected I only see a highly monochrome image. What pattern did you suggest and which layer are you painting on? Also, what have you done with the curves layers and gradient map layers. I think I need a more step by step description to truly follw what you have done. Thanks

I have a scan of an old photo that is heavily marked by dark fingerprint lines. Is there a way in photoshop to remove these lines without changing the detail and underling color. I have tried using the Spot content aware healing brush, but this is slow and tends to lose detail by smearing things out. I have also tried using the Remove Dust and Scratches filter with the History brush lighten but this also produces a less than ideal result. I find with many of these old photos they can get either dark or milky stains which are hard to remove without just smearing everything out, even the clone and patch tool are not much use in many cases. Can anyone suggest a different technique from those above. Attached is an example of the image marked by fingerprints.

I have noticed in the latest release of Lightroom Classic that when using the Crop option in the Develop module that the usual Tool Checkboxes at the top of the screen to sccept or reject crop changes seem to be missing. I have ensured Tools overlays are on and checked all view options and cannot seem to get these Tools to show. Has Lightroom Classic dumped these tools? If so, when did this change take place?

Can anyone advise the best method for reducing/repairing double exposure bands or areas of an old photo in Photoshop CC 2021. I have attached an image which has an example of the problem. I would like to know the best method for removing these types of problems without leaving a mark. Thank you

I have noticed that one some of my photos, that the initial display image seems sharper and clearer in Loupe view and then gets less clear after a few seconds when the image is loaded. I do notice that this occures mainly with images that have a high magnification (when using fit option). What I don't understand is why it would appear sharper and cleaner on initial load up view at the same display size and then get less clear. In most images the opposite occurs, it is a bit fuzzy to start with and after the full load and processing the image becomes clear. In some of these cases the opposite is happening. Does anyone why this is occuring? and if so, can I fix it?

I have an old very damaged photo of a vintage motorbike I am trying to restore. The photo is so damaged that I a missing sections of the motorbike that healing brush and clone can't fix. I have found a good clean photo of the same make and model motorbike that I hoped to use with blend and mask to fill in the nissing detail. The damaged photo of the bike is taken from the right side but slightly towards the front so the back of the bike is pointing slightly away from the viewers perspective. The new photo I have is taken squarely side on from the right. When overlayed and sized, the two images do not align because of perspective. Any suggestions or advice as to how I could get a better match of perspectives? I tried using the warp tool but this did not seem to get me the result I wanted. I have attached image files if that helps. thanks

No, that did not find the font. As I said previously, I have tried several "find font" websites already with no success, including Adobe (which i tried first). Maybe someone else has an idea. thanks

I have a font in a small video I produced in Premiere Pro some years ago and have lost the orginal Project file. The video contains a text font that I can not identify or find. It looks a little like Tekton but the capital H is different. Can anyone help identify this font. I also tried several "identify font" websites and still could not find it.

I had created a project in Premiere pro a few years ago and realised I had lost or deleted the Project file. I now want to recreate the Project using the original source files. These original files were from different GoPros (from different people) and were shot using different frame rates. Some were 30fps, some 50fps and some 60fps. The file I want to recreate was rendered and exported out in 30fps. In trying to match up the video from the original files to the Exported finished file in the sequence timeline, I note that some of the clips seem to be about a half frame out and do not align perfectly. My understanding is that you cannot edit half a frame but is there a way you can slip a clip (not audio) by less than a full frame to align perfectly with the original file?

Eugene, Thanks for this I ran the script line; app.documents[0].textVariables.everyItem().convertToText(); as suggested as the correct answer as a plain text .jsx file. It did not give me an error message but then again it did not seem to work. I created a new Live Caption in the document and after running the script (i think, as I just used "run script" and nothing appeared to happen), the live caption had not been converted. I do not believe this was nested or in a table or anything special. Any thoughts?

I have a document with hundreds of images. Initially I used the live caption option to help pupulate my image caption boxes. Whilst this helped at the beginning, I now prefer to have the live captions turned into static captions. I have done this for many of the captions but keep finding more. Is there a way to use the "Find" functionality to identify and locate which captions are still "Live Caption". At present, I can see no way to identify which ones are which by looking at them. I need to right click each one to check it's status and even then, it is easy to miss some. Is there a grep tool or a script that I could use? Thanks

My apologies John, Yes the naming is easy to mix up an that is what I have done. I do have both Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic CC and it is Lightroom Classic that I mostly use. I will tri out your PlugIn Although I do suggest that you update your webpage to avoid others that may also be wondering.

John, I emailed you a few days ago and this was your response; "LR CC (the new cloud-focused version) doesn't support plugins of any kind, unfortunately, so you can't use Any File with it. Any File only works with the traditional, desktop-focused version of Lightroom – LR Classic, LR 6, or LR CC 2015 – on either Mac or Windows. Thanks much for your interest, John"
