anecdotes aren't evidence. By @kglad That is correct

I thought I've seen several things on blood type being a factor. My daughter is type O and has a big issue. I'm type A and don't nearly have the problem that she does.

Use repellent that have DEET on your clothes and repellent like Proven that have Picaridin on your skin. I've got a friend that has MS and has to be careful on what she can use. She recommended proven. It works great. I've used it when I go out photographing in the woods, here in the North Carolina. I've walked through swarms of mosquitoes and the keep off. Eating garlic also helps. I chop up a clove every day and wash it down with water. Then I have an apple, which help kill the garlic odor - my wife hates it when I eat garlic, and this has helped. Of course, if your type O blood, you have problems: that's a mosquitoe magnet.

As others have mentioned, the remove tool with wires works fairly well, but like anything, there are issues. I find it best to create a blank layer, then use the remove tool with all layers sampled, so it's easier to fix some of the automated goofs, as for the actual poles, the remove tool works well, but you manually have to select them.

Working on each letter is a good idea. If you convert the text to a shape layer (it becomes just a path) then you can use the warp tool multiple times without blurring tje type.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Nov 02, 2025

Are you rasterizing the text? If you are, try converting it to a shape layer, first

Chuck Uebele · ‎Nov 02, 2025

I'm a bit confused. Do you want the text sharp, like the word primal, or blurred, like Heavy? I don't seem to have an issue using the transform warp tool with a grid to keep the lettering sharp. Is that the mesh tool you're talking about or puppet warp, or something totally different?

Chuck Uebele · ‎Nov 02, 2025

I haven't been experiencing this issue, but the thumbnail update is taking longer than normal. Just curious, have you tried hitting F5 te refresh Bridge?

Chuck Uebele · ‎Oct 29, 2025

Actually, it's a bit harder than I originally thought, as a brush can only have one color, and you want from black to white for the shades of the chips. The only thing I could think of is using the pattern stamp brush, but that is pretty limited for rotation. You could use a scripted fill along a path, but that's still limited. The only other option I could think of is using a special script that I wrote that allows you to define a area to fill then uses the scripted fill to randomly fill that area. And that is getting more involved than I think you want. Maybe someone will have a better idea.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Oct 29, 2025

For starters, rather than use the image that you have I would just photograph a few random chips. That way you can paint over them and not have brush seams show. It's all a matter of setting the brushes jitter for rotation and maybe a little size. There are lots of tutorials on making brushes, but that's where I would start. Kind of like a hair brush. You can look that up and interpolate that for your use

Just an update, for me, I get this if I use a few masks when editing in ACR. LR will show the ! warning and not provide a current thumbnail. It's like LR can't Identify the editing. No issue with corrupt files. I can save Metadata changes in LR, and my image edits will be the same in ACR

Chuck Uebele · ‎Oct 04, 2025

I'm a bit out of touch with generative fill, but earlier, it didn't work well with large areas/files. Maybe try doing one side at a time.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Sep 30, 2025

Fantastic! I will definitely do this.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Sep 29, 2025

Okay, it does it if I'm using the pen tool and then used the ctrl to temporarily use the path selection tool. Yea, that's a pain.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Sep 29, 2025

I think I know what you're taking about, but I just tried this, and my cursor stays on the path selection tool.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Sep 29, 2025

Yea, something doesn't sound right. Only time ran into an issue was when I was rewiring an old apartment and installed a GFI in the kitchen, but the wiring that I installed it on had two hots to one netural. That kept tripping. Another issue was when I had to install AFIs in the bedrooms. They seemed to be very sensitive, for some reason.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Sep 29, 2025

Mine was a table top microwave in a bedroom. Actually, I had a little k-cup coffee maker, first, that made the lights flash.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Sep 28, 2025

Yea, you definitely have to get dimmable LED lights. There are still issues with LEDs, but for the most part, they're okay. I had a ceiling fan in one room and also a microwave. Turn the microwave on, and the lights flicker. The microwave was drawing too much power to dropped the voltage down to where the LED lights flickered.

Putting the clip into a smart object.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Sep 06, 2025

Yea, I've been getting this a lot, lately. I edit in ACR, but catalog in LR. It's sporadic and I have no trouble opening the images and editing them again in ACR.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Aug 24, 2025

Moved to the Aacount, Payment, and Plan forum, from the Photoshop forum. Hopefully, someone on this forum can better answer your question.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Aug 20, 2025

Since your post was moved to its own thread, it is a bit vague on what exactly is happening, and how this relates to smart objects. Can you explain a bit more on what's happening and what steps your taking to get this error?

Chuck Uebele · ‎Aug 19, 2025

On the option to edit creation time, there is an option to replace the date with a fixed date and time and an option to shift the time by hours, minutes, and seconds. There needs to be an option to also input years, months, and days with the shift option. I often don't notice that my date reverted to factory preset due to a dead or missing battery. I would like to shift the creation date and not loose the difference in time shot.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Aug 16, 2025

LOL. Yes, I try and use a tripod, whenever possible, but it's hard to do with a long lens, in a kayak.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Aug 15, 2025

They briefly had that feature, but for some reason they got rid of it. I'm not sure why. It work so so, but it was better than nothing. Now there are other programs that do an somewhat ok job, like Topaz AI.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Aug 12, 2025

How are you opening your files: through Bridge, through Photoshop, or some other way? Are you trying to open Adobe Camera Raw?

Chuck Uebele · ‎Aug 10, 2025

I don't seem to be having this issue, in the beta version.

Chuck Uebele · ‎Aug 08, 2025

Great work, as usual! This reminds. E if a script that wrote for work, many years ago. The other photographers wanted to be able to stop my s ript that formats an image, make some editing changes, then run the script and pickup where they left off. I did sort of the same thing, in that I had the script write a temp XML file that matched the file's name and the place in my original script where it stopped. This way, if the temp XML was detected, it would not show the UI, but just pick up the script, where it left off. It was all just one script.
