I want a square format crop from a 1920x1080 clip. When I change the crop in Sequence to square format, the clip is slightly off center. I adjust postion to center, but inadvertently made that as a keyframe, so the clip slowly moves right toward the end of clip. How can I change position for the entire clip duration? (not as a keyrame) Edit: I deleted the first Keyframe in Position -which corrected the issue. Is there a way to alter postion without an initial keyframe? Thanks, -Mr Noobular ... View more

When using Camera Raw I can't disable on screen shadow Clipping Warning. Or perhaps it is enabled in another setting? I try toggling the controls at the top of the main page, but the visual clipping graphic warnings stay visible. It's helpful, but I prefer to disable after seeing which area needs adjustment. (see screen shot) I checked prefs, and don't see an option that has been left on.  (I have a late 2013 MacPro - Cmaera Raw 16.5.0.1954 and PS 25.12.3. Monterey 12.7.6 is the most recent OS that will run on this unit) Thanks ... View more

Issue printing from Photoshop vs Canon Professional Print & Layout app. A friend and I both have canon Printers (and use Red River Inkjet paper). Friend claimed printing via Photoshop made images very yellow & way off from monitor, but perfect match using Canon Pro print & Layout app. I just tested/compared & found the same. PShop image way off & yellow. Canon app -perfect match to monitor. He uses Pro 300 printer, I have Pro 1000. Both on Macs. Pshop 25.12.1 (can't use V.26 on my mac) I was VERY careful to use identical settings in both apps, same Profile, Media settings etc. Checking here to see if a common issue, and if so any fixes, etc. Thanks ...

The improved masking tools in Camera Raw are a game changer.  My typical workflow is to use the excellent improved Noise Reduction tool for the entire image. But I no longer use the main sharpening tools on the entire image, as that will result in sharpening of the background noise, etc. I go directly to the Masking tools, and apply sharpening, texture etc only to the subject(s). This helps keep the background bokeh soft & dreamy. But some tools are not available on the Masking Page. The Sharpening is more limited, and other tools like “Vibrance” can only be applied globally.   I suggest integrating the Masking Features onto the main controls page, allowing all adjustments to be masked as needed. Why have limits on this powerful feature? Make masking unlimited as in Photoshop.   The difference is that many of the tools in Camera Raw are more useful when applied to a RAW image than re-entering camera raw as a filter on an image that has already been processed.   The masking tools are fairly comprehensive, and powerful. It would help however to add just a bit more masking control as in photoshop.    (for what its worth, I am a long time PS user, commercial retoucher, nature photographer, as was a Beta Tester for PS 1.0) ...

I was directed to the New Features Summary page for PS 26.2.  But there are no features listed, except for new Type tools. There is a an Update button, but my system is not compatible with 26.2 so I can't even see the new features summary to evaluate a possible hardware upgrade. Where is the summary? ... View more

I have been testing the Lens Blur -Bokeh feature which I access in Camera Raw Reader. Can be very helpful to enhance images that have too deep DoF, etc. (esp APS-C, and IPhone images). But I see some bad masking errors, that often introduce an unnatural pattern around the penumbra. It would be helpful to add tools to expand or constrict the blur mask. Or perhaps correct with an add/subtract brush tool. When using a telephoto lens, there should normally be a creamy soft bokeh around the subjuct (if the background has sufficient distance) When adding bokeh in post, this typically requires careful masking. It would be helpful to see enhanced mask correction tools in a future iteration. I typically use the Field Blur feature in post as it is not a permanent (destructive) alteration. But the Camera Raw option is usfeul, and would be excllent with masking improvment. Some enhancements would also benefit the main masking feature in RAW reader. Its fairly robust as is. But the add/subtract could benefit with a softer brush tip when the brush tip it smallest.  ... View more

Primarily a PS user, I'm having issues with AI Custom Brushes interface (AI 28.1) Instructions I'm seeing online state that custom brushes are saved to the current Doc -NOT the permanent AI library. One video shows how to save brushes to Illustrator, but that all those assets are lost if AI crashes (!) Is this still true? They suggest saving the custom brushes to a specific file instead. This all sounds like overly complex procedures. Has this been updated/streamlined? Is there not a simple way to create a custom brush & opt to save in a permanent AI library OR the current open file? ... View more

I'm having issues when I attempt to select or change fonts, using the pulldown menu when Type tool is active, or from the pulldown within the character window. Spinning beachball appears and when I move curser from scroll bar to select fonts, the dialog window closes. Almost impossible to select fonts now. Just checking to see if this is a Known Issue or unique to some issue on my system. It could be possible that I have too many fonts open, but I haven't added many recently.

1 - I have a complex Photoshop Action that I would like to re-record, replacing one PS filter with a different filter. I tried "Record Again" but I broke the process when the original filter option popped up. I don't know how to remove that filter, and run another filter instead.  2 - When completed, I would like to Pause (or stop) the action when the Filter appears so I can evaluate the image & input the appropriate filter amount. I see that I can toggle the button for that filter in the actions menu to add a stop. Or I can Insert a Stop. Is there an advantage to either option? (I have created actions previously, but have never re-recorded, or added stops) Thanks ... View more

When Saving new Files (or Save As) the option to embed color profile defaults to the OFF setting (unchecked). I don't recall this always being the default save setting. It's easy to forget to check this important setting, when saving multiple files in a production environment. The default should be ON, with the OPTION to disable. I checked PS prefs for an option to have current profile embedded by default with "Save As", but I see no option for that. (maybe I missed it). I understand that when saving for web, other options maybe preferable, but that would seem to be the EXCEPTION not the logical option or rule. Perhaps I'm missing something? ... View more

I have original photography -studio shot of a high end bicycle. Image is now on pure white, but has not been outlined to a transparent background, just pure white. I have a separate image of a landscape background. Is it possible to use Gernative Fill to either replace the white background with the landscape image, or to drop the bicycle image onto the landscape file -without the white background. The bicycle has spoked wheels, cables, etc. and a very light grey frame. As a Retoucher, I would use various hands on techniques to outline (silo) the bicycle, but I want to see if Generative Fill can be used in this case, and in similar scenarios. This needs to be very accurate, with no ghosted areas.  ... View more

I've been a pro retoucher for many years -using Photoshop/Bridge combo. I have preferred using Bridge/Camera Raw to organize & process files. Some associates prefer Lightroom, which I have been told shares internal engines with Bridge. I may soon receive some raw files that have been partially processed in LR -with LR Presets.  Will those presets remain with the Raw files if I open them via Bridge, or will I need LR? I actually have Prefs set with Photoshop as the Host for Camera Raw -if that is a factor. (using latest versions of Photoshop/Bridge, and I have LR if needed)   Thank you ... View more

Prior to the current updates, while Camera Raw was performing the now lengthy Noise Reduction process, I was able to return to Bridge, and inspect more images. (then return to Camera Raw after NR completed). I can no longer access Bridge until Camera Raw processing is complete.  I typically select images in Bridge, then process in Camera Raw using the improved NR option for most images. Is there a preferences option to make Camera Raw run in Photoshop, or allow access to Bridge while Camera Raw is rendering NR process?   Also, in previous versions of Bridge, selecting a Raw file and entering Command-Open launched Camera Raw. Now that action requires the :"Open in Camera Raw" command. An extra step, and at odds with the default procedure since the first iteration of Camera Raw. It's a tiny quibble, but a time saver when processing many Raw files. (PS 25.0.0 - BR 14.0.0.102 - Mac OS 12.6.7) Thanks   ... View more
