Re: What on earth is this?? Curves UI issue

This is horrible. Did anyone try this before they shipped it? I'm thinking of downgrading back to .10 if I can keep my file associations straight in Bridge.

One thing I would like to see is CTRL+Tab cycling through control points, like you can with Image > Adjustments > Curves.

What do you mean by "eliminates the canvas dimensions"?

Semaphoric · ‎Sep 13, 2025

Trevor, you're right about Shift+Ctrl+Alt+T being problematic with Shapes. Instead of transforming a duplicate, you can de-couple the two steps. Make a New Shape Layer via Copy [Ctrl+J], and drag that into position. Now repeat this sequence: Ctrl+J Shift+Ctrl+T (no Alt!).

That is placeholder text, also known as text greeking, to show what text would look like, especially for paragraph type. It can be turned of at Edit > Preferences > Type, and un-check Fill new type layers with placeholder text.

Two ways come to mind. The first is the Liquify filter. The second is a Displacement Map (Filter > Distort > Displace). Do a Web search for Photoshop Displacement Map; there's lots of tutorials out there covering just this thing.

Be sure the Resample box is checked.

You are viewing at 3200%. To do what you want, you need to replicate it at 100%. You could use a larger Brush, copy, paste, and scale up the stroke you made, or use the Pen or Shape to make a custom Shape. The third would be my choice, since you could scale and rotate cleanly.

Things work as expected in Photoshop 2024.

If you look at your selection in Quickmask mode, how do the edges look?

Semaphoric · ‎Sep 01, 2025

Same thing under Windows.

You could use a Reflected Foreground to Transparent Gradient:

Look in the panel menu in the Character panel for Middle Eastern Features.

This reminds me of when I was comparing the areas of old Standard Def CRTs to LCD HDTVs. You could use a calculator to find the area of a selection, Original Width × Original Height, divide this by New Width or Height to get the other dimension, and enter this in the Options for Select > Transform Selection. You can do similar with a rectangular Shape or Path. Granted, this is a somewhat Stone Age way of doing it, but it should be scriptable.

A row of ten across the image 16% from the top, Polar Coordinates, and lots of CTRL+ALT+Shift+T. I was getting somewhat frazzled working on this, since I have something similar I did a couple of years ago, but couldn't remember just how I did it. Lots of "Let me try this … Okay, how about THIS … Okay …"

What you are showing is Stroke controls for a rectangular Shape layer, not the Rectangular Marquee tool.

This is a known issue. See https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/p-ps-26-9-erractic-zoom-tool-behavior-with-ctrl-shortcuts/idi-p/15435862

What do you see if you view the selection in Quick Mask mode?

Semaphoric · ‎Aug 01, 2025

What exactly happens when you try to use it? Is there any sort of error message?

Semaphoric · ‎Jul 27, 2025

You are using a Gradient Map, which is different from a regular Gradient.

Semaphoric · ‎Jul 26, 2025

Going back to Conrad_C's first reply, you enter the physical size in the Logical Length and Logical Units fields. When that's done, the Ruler tool with Use Measurement Scale checked will read out the physical length.

You can reverse a Path using the Pen tool. With the Path visible, but no points selected, click on the beginning point to pick-up the path. Add a new point not on the Path, and immediately delete it. The Path will now be reversed.

You can reposition the selection by dragging inside it with the Marquee tool. To block out the unselected part, press Q to enter Quick Mask mode, and drag the selected area with the Move tool, and press Q again when done to return to Standard Mode.

You could do this with a Grayscale document with rasterized medium gray type on a white background. Run Filter > Pixelate > Color Halftone with an angle of zero in Channel one, and your choice of maximum pixel size. Follow this with Image > Adjustments > Invert.

Are you using a graphics tablet?

Semaphoric · ‎Jun 29, 2025

There used to be a pattern maker plugin with Photoshop that did this, bu the results were so-so. After trying it a couple of times, I went back to constructing patterns by hand. Perhaps with AI it could work better,

Could you post a screenshot of the Layers panel?
