Re: Can you cancel the automatic “free transform” ...

It looks to me that a Shape made with the Shape tool is a "Live Shape", and shows a bounding box if the Shape or Path Selection tools are selected, but not the Direct Selection tool. Paths and Shapes made with the Pen, and converting Text to Shape, do not. If you drag one of the nodes with the Direct Selection tool, a popup says "This operation will turn a Live Shape into a regular Path. Continue?" The bounding box will go away, but the Shape has been altered. I don't know any easy way to convert to a regular Path without altering the Shape.

Vibrance and Saturation are in the Color section, and Dehaze is in the Effects section.

Ther's a hard to see grabber at the top of the toolbar, which you can use to drag the toolbar over to the left or right sides of the application frame, where it can be docked.

What you describe sounds like using the Pen tool to create a Shape.

Right click on the Path layer thumbnail, and select Blending Options from the pop up, to open the Layer Style dialog: In particular, note the Blend If section. It can operate on all channels (Gray), or Red, Green, and Blue individually. The sliders on the controls below can be split, by Alt-dragging one side, and the blend will occur over a range.

Could you please post a screen shot showing the Layers panel?

I don't know if this will work, but if you look at your Adobe account, under the Plans and Payment tab, there is an Activated Devices section, with an option to deactivate.

The various Lasso tools are in the same slot in the toolbar. If you click and hold it, it opens a small menu of the choices. Also, Shift+L will cycle through the lassos.

If you add a point to each leg, equidistant from the corner, and then delete the corner point, you will be left with an open shape. Click on one of the end points to pick up the path, and then the other to close it.

> In all seriousness, what is wrong with Ctrl/Cmd + V to paste in a new layer? It's a single command. I don't think I've ever needed a blank document the size of the clipboard. I very frequently want the clipboard to open in Photoshop. Why should I enter a keystroke to avoid something I never want?

un-check the Contiguos box in the Magic Wand options.

My first idea was just turn it over, like the Cake Slice Illusion (one slice gone, or one slice left?): https://lapercepcion16.blogspot.com/2016/03/ilusiones-opticas.html

I'm not sure if this is what you're after, but I tried converting the image to Lab mode, inverting the Lightness channel, and converting back to RGB:

I wonder if photographing the pages with ultra violet or infra red might help.

One way is to run the Ruler tool along one edge of the photo, followed by Image > Image Rotation > Arbitrary. The angle from the Ruler is automatically loaded. Click on OK, and the image is rotated with extra canvas added to accommodate the rotation.

Alt+Shift+Ctrl+E for Stamp Visible. Not accessible though the menu; keyboard shortcut only.

Maybe one could have a script that would get the locations of the recent files and put them in a list, where they could then be opened in Windows Explorer to be renamed or deleted. Deleting a file in the list might cause glitches later, so the script should maybe rebuild the recent files list after the editing.

I saw on my Adobe account page, under "Plans and Payment" there is an Activated Devices tab, with an option to deactivate a device. I used this to clean out any residual activations on my retired [but still (barely) functional] old computer. I'd always thought activations were per app, not per device.

Semaphoric · ‎Feb 19, 2025

Are you talking about the edges of the artwork? If so, do a search for "gallery wrap".

Semaphoric · ‎Feb 16, 2025

Leslie, I was hoping you would come up with the idea first, since you are a better cartoonist than I am . . .

This has been the case for years. You can avoid it by temporarily changing the resampling to Nearest Neighbor.

What happens if you do it via Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color?

Could you post a screen shot of the Layers panel?

Semaphoric · ‎Feb 13, 2025

Just copy the information, and paste it into a message as text.

Once a file is saved as anything other than a .PSD any type is no longer editable. You can add new type, though. The Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text, and is replaced once you start typing. You can turn that off in the preferences if you don't like it.

You could use the Vanishing Point filter. I would isolate the subject on a separate layer, and feather the top edge of he paneling. Then the clone stamp in the Vanishing Point will follow the perspective. I'd recommend using a small soft brush, working in sections, changing the sample point frequently to deal with the differences in lighting.

Do you get any warning message/alert?

1 - Click on the first gradient in the list, then Shift+click on the last in the list. 2 - The Trash is in the very lower right corner of the Gradients panel.

Semaphoric · ‎Feb 09, 2025

Try setting the Blending Mode for the gradient to Multiply
