Photoshop

I love the effect of this "turn any photo into art" video, but it races through the techinque rather than explaining it step by step. Can anyone explain how they did it, generally or step by step? Thanks.https://creativecloud.adobe.com/cc/discover/article/turn-any-photo-into-art?locale=en

When I updated to the newest version of PS, I lost all of my custom actions.I have been able to find some of the originals online, but not all.I have tried using Time Machine to see earlier configurations but the actions aare gone there too.Any suggestions??

Hello,  I'm new to Photoshop so any advice appreciated My dad scanned in about ~1800 pages of photos from my grandmother's albums I’d like to separate for uploading to google photos. Unfortunately he didnt scan them in at super high resolution but it took him a week to do and isn't something I'll be able to redo.The majority look like this with 4-6 photos per page with this textured background. Some of the albums are black background and some are white but nearly all are textured like this. Have tried the Automate > Crop and Straighten feature but I think the background of the photos breaks it and it doesn’t work.. It also doesnt work when I remove the textured background. Interestingly, the object selection tool is able to outline all of these just fine. Using the object selection tool, I'm looking for a way to: a) merge selections (note in the top left it incorrectly made a few selections that should all be apart of the same selction, and  b) save all thes

Some time ago, when viewing an image at 100%, photoshop would display the image the size it was, but after an update a few years ago, it has been showing images about half the size they actually are.  I've ignored it and worked around it, but I'm adding images to a website and I need to size them by eye and I'm tired of sizing an image 3 times, because i have to check how big it actualy is in preview and then guess again at a different size.   I must have a setting wrong somehwhere?    Can anyone help?  Here is a picture of a simple image in photoshop at 100% and the same file opened in preview right next to it, you can see the file in preview is much larger than photoshop is showing it.   Thanks for any help!whitney  

I see a lot of threads about this.Well, the other day I actually had a tech from Adobe on the line, and after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, he admitted, "It's a Photoshop issue".Apparently they are looking into it, just not quick enough. It is unfortunate because it seriously affects our ability to work effectively in Photoshop as you don't get the mostly accurate visual sizing.We can only hope... Come on Adobe, FIX IT!!!

Below is an example of how my selection fill works. Instead of doing a hard black fill, it does a gradient of black to white up to the selection. How do I make it fully black, and stop at the selection? 

No matter what options I select in Contact Sheet II I only get one image per page. I does create a page with one image and then a blue outline dances around the screen. The only way out is to end the process. It's working just fine in version 26.3.0. My version that is not working is 26.7. Any help would be appreciated.

I need help with my brush settings! PLEASE!  I have been running PS 2020 for a while now and have had no issues — but when I updated to PS 2023I cannot get the brush tool to behave in the same way! The problem when I use PS 2023 is that the brush doesn't completely fill in with the color — there is a ring around it that is still unfilled.BUT! In PS 2020 the brush color fills the circle all the way to the edge of the brush outline (the full dimensions aka: 250px).  I am not using a tablet — just a mouse — so it isn't "pen pressure" or something like that.WTH is going on here? There is a setting somewhere but I can't find it! I have opened both versions side-by-side and checked all the brush settings but they are set exactly the same, so it must be some other setting menu that I can't find. I am on an iMac.

I get this error (Could not complete your request because the file was not found.) when I want to open photoshop. I first open photoshop this popup appears and when I press ok button then photoshop will close again.I have searched on the internet and all suggest to reset preference, but how do I reset it while photoshop does not open at all, is there any solution for this error I get? 

I'm familiar with image > transform rotate, scale  etc. So when setting a transform, I can change the reference point by Ctrt T and tehn dragging the centre to wherever I want it. So far so good.If I want to set it numerically, I have to move the reference point and then type in centre X, centre Y and rotation angle. Up until that moment it assumes that those values are it's transform location. The only difference being is that the centre of the grid of 9 squares is left unfilled:So without offsetting the reference point first (which seem counter-intuitive if you are putting in numeric values)ORtoggling the reference point location every and then back on again (v annoying)Is there a keyboard shortcut or button for this?   

Почему у меня увеличивается оперативная память (RAM) до 20 гигабайтов, когда я особо ничего не деалю в фотошопе, всего лишь потянул шифтом текст, чтобы увеличить его по холсту и попросту набирает, не опускаясь. 

its untrusted file ,could you pls send me the compressed file setup ?

I’ve got photos in a serie but the color tone of the photos is not quite the same. Is it possible in Photoshop to point to one photo and the other photos will adjust to that color tone? If no, is there another program for this opportunity/wish?

I've been on this for 5 hours straight now and read a lot.This i what I want to do I put text just from the outlines from another layer. I´m doing as Google says. I choose both layers and go to the layer menu, and then it diffuses what I need to do. i atach the file here for. but my dont have background of course. It´s a tshirt design im working on.Take care  

I have extensively customized my preferences, keyboard shortcuts and toolbar. With Keyboard shortcuts, I often overwrite a default shortcut, either of the particular action or the keyboard shortcut of another action. I then click Accept.  At some point while using PS, I will attempt to use a keyboard shortcut and it no longer works. In fact none of the custom ones work. PS has without any notice switched back to using the default keyboard shortcut. The same thing happens to preferences. This is happening multiple times/session. I deleted PS and reinstalled it and it still happens. I've tried the different version of PS. It still happens.  There's no notification from PS. I find out when I look at the list of recent docs and find it too short. I find out when a keyboard shortcut no longer works.  What's going on????? There is nothing in the log files of a change in the source of the keyboard or general settings.  Help Please. I've worked continuou

question says it all. I was working on a script to toggle between the layer and the layer mask selection, but I was unable to find a way to check which one is currently selected.

Hi, Thanks to all who took part in our last, 'Prickly Issue', challenge. We had a great range of entries with both still images and animations.   'Time and tide wait for no man', says the old proverb. So for this week, I bring you a picture of Staithes, a lovely village on the North Yorkshire coast of England. Can you show us what it might look like when the tide retreats? The “rules”: Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry. Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc. Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”. There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

Hi All, I hope this is going to be a quick fix... dont know why Adobe have to change thing that work really well. But when I'm using the brush tool and need select a diffrent colour, I hold down "option " eyedropper shows up the then select the colour I looking for... But it assigns it to the background pannel which it never did before this update,  It always put the new colour on the forground pannel which made perfect sence.So you have to keep switching the pannels, I hope Im missing a quick fix here 🙂 

I just upgraded to Pshop 26.7.0 and Geretate Image/Fill is greyed out. Right in the middle of a project. What gives here ?    

I just bought a base model surface laptop 7 and I'm having trouble understanding what's going on when I switch color profiles. I'm using a display p3 tagged image from a wide gamut test website and viewing it in Microsoft photo viewer and photoshop simultaneously. The laptop has two individually calibrated color profiles--vivid and srgb. When set to vivid, the image looks as follows with a vibrant red around the w in both programs: when set to srgb, the image in photo viewer demonstrates what I think should be the expected behavior and shows a uniform, less vibrant red with no w while photoshop shows a less vibrant red background and an even less vibrant w still apparent (incidentally this is how it behaves in chrome as well): I'm trying to understand what's going on and how to fix it if it needs fixing.Srgb tagged images look the same between the two programs in vivid mode but photoshop displays them with washed out colors when in srgb mode while photo viewer still shows the same imag

I have noticed recently that when I select a text area and I am changing it I am unable to see the change until i click away from it. This just started happening.... In better words, if I had text that said GRAND OPENING and I select it and type GRAND OPENING JULY 10th, I do not see the changes until I click on another tool or hit esc.. Usually you can see what your typing as you do it... Any ideas what I did wrong

I am a full-on CC subscriber; not in trial mode.  I'm using Photoshop 19 (in the version of CC that updated in November 2017).  Every time I hover my mouse over a tool that I haven't used yet, a gigantic video tutorial popup pops up that shows me how to use the tool.  I've been using Photoshop since version 2.0, before there were layers; I know my way around the toolbar. How do I disable this "feature?"While I'm at it, there was some other video popup that tried to get me to learn how to place an image on an object in Dimension.  If I'm interested in using Dimension, I'll use it; I don't need you taking up my screen and brain space pointing it out.  How do I disable this "feature," as well?Thanks.

Hi everyone,I have hundreds of SuperPaint files created in the late 1990s and early 2000s that were just recovered off an old MacMini. I also have SuperPaint diskettes. The Mac mini is damaged and may not be repairable.That being said, I am trying to find a way to get them into a current program, like Photoshop. My last resort is to locate an older Mini with MacOS 10.4, a compatible diskette drive, and install SuperPaint. Then I would open up and save every file as a PICT file. I think Photoshop can still open those up.If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear. And if I get a solution, I will post it because there have to be many more SuperPaint enthusiasts who sadly miss their no longer compatible files. In fact, since SuperPaint was the next generation after the famous MacPaint, I think this story is historically significant. I even wonder if the Computer History Museum in Mountain View collects experts who know about these older, historically important software programs. I had a

I created a video file using Photoshop 22. The PSD file itself states: Adobe Photoshop 22.3 (Windows) It is a fairly simple file that uses an external video source file (ProRes converted professionally from an 8mm film with no audio) and an MP3 for background music.   I just tried to open this file in Photoshop 2025 and the beta which is also installed on this PC. The file opens without any error message, however: Sometimes the file opens without the video resource at all, other times it opens the video file but when I play it or render the video it shows only the first frame of each section (I cut the video to pieces as I needed to apply different filtering to each section). It opens without the audio file, meaning when I play the video in Photoshop or play the rendered MP4 it's muted.   Stuff I did to try and figure it out: Opened the PSD in a hex editor to confirm I didn't move files (I didn't, the relative paths are the same as the files) Converted the same source

Hi Guys, I couldn't find any change to complete the pattern in the blank. Generative fill is not capable of my tries.
