I've updated to the latest version of Photoshop (Also tested this on the latest Beta too) So when using the remove tool I find the results are not as expected. They were as good as perfect yet now they have a pattern effect showing. Is anyone else seeing this effect?

Ok so my admin team here had to make a package up that then deployed a new creative cloud for me. Once that was installed the beta option became available. They had to download the creative cloud and then instal on my mac. Hope that helps

Ive seen a few tutorials that track motion to stablize the face however I find the track motion not that great. If I create a mask then use the tracker "Face tracking (Outlines)" it follows the face so much better. How can I use that method to then stabilize the footage based on the mask?

Yes exactly what I do, at the moment. I didn't know if they might be able to use us in the field to gain knowledge, the subject tool can't recognize an inside space from a part of the jewellery. I take it all the Ai stuff is in the adobe factory‽ It's different too from the neural filters? Am I right in thinking these are uploaded to the adobe analyzed and then sent back to us?

Hi I am professional photographer and editer. I work with jewellery images every day. Occasionally to make my life easier I use the menu item Select>Subject and it does a good job. but not always. As far as I know this is AI powered. So my question is can it learn from me? Or could it learn from me?

I want to have a script that creates the curves layer with specific point but in the channels too. I found this script here, It works but i don't know how to then draw points on the red green and blue channels rather than just the composite? Many Thanks Matt {

I found another example similar to the above that works. But I need to get the previously selected color sample from the image rather than one defined in the code. tell application id "com.adobe.photoshop"
activate
set RGBValue to (do javascript "#target photoshop
function getRGB (){
// Define the x and y coordinates for the pixel to sample.
var x = 1;
var y = 1;
// Add a Color Sampler at a given x and y coordinate in the image.
var pointSample = app.activeDocument.colorSamplers.add([(x - 1),(y - 1)]);
// Obtain array of RGB values.
var rgb = [
Math.round(pointSample.color.rgb.red),
Math.round(pointSample.color.rgb.green),
Math.round(pointSample.color.rgb.blue)
];
// Obtain array of rounded CMYK values.
var cmyk = [
Math.round(pointSample.color.cmyk.cyan),
Math.round(pointSample.color.cmyk.magenta),
Math.round(pointSample.color.cmyk.yellow),
Math.round(pointSample.color.cmyk.black)
];
// Remove the Color Sampler.
//pointSample.remove();
// Display the complete RGB values and each component color.
return(rgb);}
getRGB()
")
end tell
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {","}
set RValue to 1st text item of RGBValue
set GValue to 2nd text item of RGBValue
set BValue to 3rd text item of RGBValue

Great thanks, I can't get that to return the RGB Values to applescript or the Alert in JS to display them. tell application id "com.adobe.photoshop"
activate
set RGBValue to do javascript "#target photoshop var doc = app.activeDocument, samps = doc.colorSamplers; for ( var i = 0; i < samps.length; i++ ) { var r = Math.round( samps.color.rgb.red ), g = Math.round( samps.color.rgb.green ), b = Math.round( samps.color.rgb.blue ); return( r+g+b ); } alert ( samps[1].position ); "
log RGBValue
end tell

Hi, I'm not too good at scripting, so looking for some help. I would like to get let the user to select a point of the image, then I would need to set variables to the location of the sample point and also collect the RGB Values as variables too. I've used the script listening but not too sure how to gather that information. I also like to use it back with applescript that I can follow. Many Thanks Matt

I have 2 identical Mac minis but one version of Photoshop has been upgraded. Potentially this version 21.2.4 performs a lot slower than the other mac running photoshop 21.1.3 . I see how to roll back to 2018 2019 etc, but how can i roll back to a specific version. Photoshop 22 was too slow to work with so no point I see at the moment in upgrading to the latest. Thanks Matt

Hi I have a series of full frame images in a sequence and I have done the following to get them in the timeline. Create Frame Animation Make frames from layer. I then select the first 2 frames of 10 and selected Tween, I want to add 5 frames, Layers All and the rest is selected. It looks like it has worked but also appears to fade to transparent, What am I doing wrong? Also is there a quick way or script to add the 5 frames between each actual image? Thanks Matt

I think they did change the way the scale function worked, but I have realised now that the functionality that I wanted was in actual fact "free transform" Here I can scale and rotate without any messing about.

Also went to scale an item If i place the cursor/pointer near a corner I was able to rotate the item. How can I get the function back? Very slow at the moment as I have to go into the transform menu.

I'm just find some of the uses of inDesign, and now I have realised I can open "folders" on my mac from PDF files (currently only from acrobat not preview). (not sure of the reason) What I would ultimately like to do is open an application the best I can do is point it at an application as a file /Volumes/CloudStorage/Dropbox/Scripts/Dock Scripts/KeywordChecker.app/Contents/MacOS/CocoaApplet As you can see it wont let me select the app but the Unix Executable. It only shows the file location and if I then run it the terminal window shows and does exit? Can this be done cleaner? Many thanks Matt

I've had a script running in CC 2017 that would save down png's I knew in cc 2017 there was the option to save PNG compressed so I have been using the script with no issue. set myLocalPNGOptions to {class:PNG save options, compression:5, interlaced:false} When this has been running in 2018 my script times out suggesting saves are timing out meaning longer than 120 seconds to save. 109.8mb PSD is flattened (less a background) then saved as png. under these conditions. The time it takes to save is 123sec and compresses it to 13.7mb If I change the setting to its default 0. Its take 109 seconds to compress to 16.3mb this is is still much longer than it ever was on CC2017. Testing it as normal no applescript and it reveals the problem is still there. Medium file size setting take 107sec to a lightning drive in APFS and 150 seconds to a firewire drive in mac journaled format.
