I'm Trying to import my CS6 tool presets into 2024. In CS6 my presets worked with every tool. Now they are "assigned" to the exact tool. IE. I have a tool called "hair". It's a simple 2 PIX brush I use for brushing and Rubbing. I imported my brushes and all of the brushes are assigned to a specific tool. Is there a way to import old brushes into 2024 and they work with all of the different tools?  I hope that makes sense!!

Any input would be greatly appreciated:I use the highest spec mac ultra studio with 192gb of ram . Scratch disks are set to theinternal ssd with over 6 TB free. As of the last two updates im experiencing some heavy slow downs when i use my brush in color blend mode and paint walls a different color. This never used to happen. I get the spinning ball and about 10 seconds later it works but not real time like it used to. Nothing in my system has changed and i haven't  added any peripherals or software that should interfere.i also havephotoshop set to use up to 80% of memory. Im an architectural photographer so the composite consist of anywhere from 5-30 layers of 100 mega pixel 16 bit tiffs. What would be the optimal performance settings as far as cache levels and tile size? Im thinking i need to do a clean install of photoshop and hopefully that fixes things.  Thanks for your time

since beta was updated yesterday to 26.5 it won't open at all and asks to send a report

I really need to change the brush and eraser cursor to a dot. The standerd customization is not enough, I just need a dot (i use very small curosr and i need to get rid of the cross that appears). Please tell me there is a solution, I'm not afraid to change same codes or icons file inside the program. Big thanks.

I'm trying to add an arrowhead to a line in Photoshop 2021 but I can't find the "More Options" button on https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/line-tool.html that opens up the arrowhead controls. The button is completely missing. Where has the button moved to?

HiI am ued to copying layers to other open PSD files (drag and drop), but how can you do it so the layer you are dragging over stays aligned exactly in the other PSD file. At the moment i drag it over then manually have to align it so it sits exactly onto of the one ive dragged it onto. Maybe theres another way instead of dragging and dropping?Thanks

Hi All,   I have taken a pic of my text document using my cell phone however due to inadequate lighting condition the image got blurred and not fruitfully readable. Can any one let me know how and what can I do with Photoshop to improve the photo quality for reading purpose.

Hi, I know very little about photoshop. Is there any way I can convert my original artwork into this black and white format? I drew it in RGB, but I find this 'red' channel  very cute. I want my artwork to be saved and later to be animated maintaining this black and white shade. I tried saving my art work by only keeping the red option ON but when I open the psd file it goes back into RGB.  can anyone help me. Thank you. 

Is there any way to reverse this image in the radial direction, so that peaks are valleys and valleys are peaks? Essentially  z = 1 - z 

NB: I did read a few other answers to similar questions, but none were sufficient for my task.I have a series of 100+ images I created for a client (see example) which are 360º images, transformed into a horizontal cross shape (using Flaming Pear software). Client is an architect and will be creating a book of reference images of a building that requires renovation. The shape was chosen so that text and other photos could be added in the white space around the main image. This allows them to highlight problem areas etc. The problem is that the "white" background areas are not uniformly white (instead they range from white to grey). which messes up the look of the book (they are using Word). They are now asking if the images can be supplied with no background (make it transparent?) so they can put into a Word document and then add other elements around the image. I hope this makes sense. I understand I should be using Actions in conjunction with Batching, but my knowledge is very limite

I clip out products and sometimes use the pen tool to get the curvature correct. Usually I can create a selection using the pen tool and then use the fill bucket to fill black or white to my image mask. It no longer has that capability in this version.

I'm playing with AI images now and many of them have this issue – oversharpened edges...How would you tackle this? The Blur tool works quite fine, but probably there are more options to try? I'm also considering a luminosity mask + cloning the edge (but it needs more time and precision) 

I am using Photoshop (web version) on a Windows PC Win 10 with a 27" monitor.Since this morning all the tabs, drop down menus and everything else (apart from the actual image I might be working on) are TINY.  So tiny I can't read them even if I stick my eyes 1" in front of them !All other websites, apps etc are working normally.What on earth is happening please ?  It is seriously holding up my work flow.How can I fix this please. Thank you,Amanda

The option to enhance camera raw does not appear in Adobe Photoshop with the latest update

I have a system of applying fonts and styles I have used forever and all of a sudden the style shows a cloud basically telling me I don't have it.  I click the cloud and the dumb things just spin and they aren't in my font list anymore.  What on earth did you guys do in the update?  My Illustrator won't load some of my stuff either!!  i got a notification ONE time about something all of a sudden being password protected but it was a bunch of drives and I assumed it would tell me again but it didn't! I tried to make a bunch of things no longer read only but it didn't work and now I feel like I just opened up my system for nothing.  I am frustrated. 😞 PLEASE tell me how to fix this and i hope you get it fixed in the update!!

Screen shot 1 below shows a layer with 2 adjustment layers turned off.  Screen shot 2 shows 1 of the 2 adjustment layers turned on, addressing the top portion of the layer, making the transition with the bottom layer seamless.  Screen shot 3 shows the other adjustment layer turned on, addressing the bottom part of the layer, making the transition with the bottom layer seamless.  But with that layer (Curves 2) turned on, the top portion of "Layer 1 copy" is now too bright.  Can I apply a gradient to the Curves 2 layer only to bring down the brighter upper part while keeping the adjustment intact in the lower part?  Thanks.     

Hello,I'm unable to open an .mp4 file in Photoshop and receive an error message saying "DynamicLink" is not available. I cleared my preferences, uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop, made exceptions in my firewall, restarted my computer, and still received the message. I uninstalled all of Adobe products using the cleaner tool, reinstalled everything, and still got the error message. I have the most recent version of Quicktime. This error did not occur two days ago when I was using the same files, and others, within Photoshop. This file was rendered using Media Encoder, and no other video files will open up either (Whether or not rendered using Media Encoder or Premiere). Since the last update as well, my graphics driver has been acting funky with Photoshop (yes, I updated it too) and it does this thing where it starts, freezes on the open page, then after 5-10 minutes I can click on things - otherwise runs generally smooth until some random error occurs. After the last reinstall it a

Several updates ago, the Lens Blur refinement tools began to become massive resource hogs. Whenever I attempt to use them, the first pass or two to refine blur and focus aren't too bad, but as I continue, the latency in the brushstrokes gets worse and worse, and freezes up PS until they can slowwwwly finish. After a certain point, they no longer work - they just freeze PS and then finally give me back the program after two or three minutes.  I'm on a three year old iMac - current OS, and fully updated on PS. I also use a Wacom tablet (I know, their drivers are crap, but this happens even when I just attempt to use the mouse). I used to use Lens Blur all the time, but now I've had to stop - it's just not worth it. Any way I could possibly make this work correctly again? Or have current updates to PS just decided they'll only work with the most recent hardware and terabytes of RAM. What info can I provide to further this conversation?

whenever I open Photoshop it gives me an error message saying "error reading machine specific preferences. They will be reset to defaults". sure enough, they are, why does it keep giving me this error message and how can I fix it.Photoshop General Discussion

When using the tutorial entitled "Get to Know Layers", the tutorial freezes after I complete the task to "Transform" the flamingo in the image. It keeps saying "Complete the current task before proceeding", even though I did complete the task, and the "Next" button is grayed out, and I get stuck. I have to "End Task" Photoshop in the Windows Task Mnager to get out of that.
