The drop shadow shown on this sofa is the result of lighting and actual photography.Is there a way to create this within Photoshop?I know how the basic drop shadow works, and even using multiple drop shadows.Does Photoshop need to treat this like the a 3D image?

Hi everyone,We are currently updating the product images on our website https://www.daltaios.com/, but we noticed they look quite pixelated on Retina displays and newer mobile screens.Should I be exporting all image assets at 2x resolution directly from Photoshop, or is there a better modern workflow to ensure crisp visuals while keeping the file sizes small for fast loading times?Any advice on compression tools or responsive image practices would be greatly appreciated!

I am experiencing 3 problems with photoshop When I add a text and I want to go to filter gallery and add HALFTONE to add lines on my text It doesn’t apply it  All of my blend modes when i hover on them it either turn them white or black and that's it  when I want to make a text transparent after I added effect (changing the R,G,B Channels to make a cool effect) it instantly turn it black and if i want to make the background black or other colors it fully cover the entire text. Its so weird because previously it worked perfectly but when I try to do another one this happen. I tried everything from Uninstalling photoshop, Adobe cleaner tool, to graphics card updates but nothing would work  

When printing in Photoshop the default resolution is 240 dpi. I would like to increase this to 300 dpi and would be grateful for advice on how this can be done.

First, I really like this feature. Having actions available as buttons with assigned shortcuts can significantly speed up repetitive workflows.A few suggestions:Shortcut conflicts: If a shortcut is already in use, Photoshop should show which command or action is using it and allow users to reassign that shortcut directly from the conflict dialog instead of simply blocking the assignment. Editable save settings: For save-related actions (PNG, JPEG, TIFF, PSD, etc.), it should be possible to open and edit the associated save settings directly from this panel, including compression, transparency, ICC profiles, metadata, layers, and other format-specific options. Better keyboard navigation: Pressing Enter should save changes immediately. Pressing Esc should return to the previous screen. The entire interface should be fully keyboard-accessible. Basic UX. Save button placement: The Save button sits at the bottom of the panel. Consider moving it higher, duplicating it at the top, or relying

I was given a lot of photos of diagrams and asked to remove the creases so they would look a bit flatter. How can I do this in Photoshop?The photo shows an example of creases.

Is there a way to turn off the sample text in the Photoshop Character palette? I thought I had this one solved by just setting the "Number of Recent Fonts to Display" to "0". This tactic has worked for years and it was working but now the previews are back even with the 0 recent fonts set. I can't figure out how turn them off and I’m about ready to uninstall the most recent Photoshop updates. 

I have a new install of Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Photoshop. Before I did anything, I tried using the brush tool to paint a line. I discovered that at 100% hardness, the brush tool does not fill the circle that represents the brush all the way to the edge. See attached photos. (1) The first photo shows the brush filling black paint on a gray background. You can see that the paint does not fill in to the edge of the circle. The brush is set to 100% hardness, 100% Opacity, 100% Flow, 10% Smoothing. Default setup from Adobe install. (2) The second photo shows the Settings for the Cursor in Preferences. Again, all default from Adobe. Why is this not filling the circle 100% and how can I change this? Thank you! 

My genereative ai credits are disappearing without me using any ai. I opened a jpg in photoshop, went to the adjustments panel and manually used the sliders to adjust the levels. When I opened Photoshop I had 34/1000 credits left. When I saved out my jpg after adjusting the levels I had 33/1000 credits. I did not use any form of the generative ai.Additionally when I do use the generative ai to extend one photo it uses far more than one credit. This morning I started with 60/1000 credits. I opened the jpg I wanted to extend. I used my crop tool to extend all sides to where I wanted them and hit generate to fill in. I flattened my image, saved and closed, my credits went all the way down to 34/1000.

Today I encountered with a Telegram channel which is Uploding Pirated adobe softwares.   [Link to piracy site removed]   This is the link to channel.   I have attached some of the screenshots, there are many softwares.   Hope you take actions on it.   Thankyou. Mikhel Singh

Having an issue converting OCIO files from scene referred AcesCG to display referred ICC profiles in Photoshop 2025.  From reading the PS documentation I see that Edit > Duplicate to Image Profile command does this, as it offers all the available working ICC profiles as the target settings for the output. If I set the output space to sRGB then then conversion matches fine, but if I select any other RGB profile as the target (such as Adobe RGB, ProPhoto etc) then the colours get too saturated ?  Looks like the command preserves the sRGB values but just display them as Adobe RGB/ProPhoto colours,  i.e. the same result as Assign Profile from sRGB > Adobe RGB etc in an ICC workflow. and the resulting saturation/hue shifts. Any ideas why this is happening and If this is the correct behaviour and if so, why bother offering other output ICC output profiles and labelling it as a conversion if the gamut is always sRGB ?   

I updated Photoshop from 27.7 to 27.8 via the Creative Cloud desktop app.When I launched PS the home screen showed “recent” images which I had last worked on three months ago, and my settings were similarly backdated.I fixed my setup by rolling back to 27.7 and restored preferences from before the update (thanks to Time Machine) but it’s cost me an hour’s work.macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 (25F84), Apple M2 Max

Brushes suddenly stop working properly with blending modes. No matter what mode is selected its always paint flat color.

I would like to know how to download the files from my Adobe Creative Cloud's storage plan onto my computer so that I can free up space.  Your advice is greatly appreciated. 

Mac版 v27.8にアップデートして以降、「レイヤーから書き出し」でpngを選択すると、保存先フォルダが存在しないという表示が出て進行されません。v27.7にダウングレードしてもなおりません。Mac はTahoe 26.5.1です。 

This is truly bizarre.  I created a action to crop a bunch of images.  The action only has 2 parts.1. Select Subject2. Image/CropI used Automate/Batch to run it on a folder with 48 small clothing images that I downloaded from a site that sells blank garments.  Here’s the crazy part.  As I watched the screen run the action, a garment would pop up, momentarily process, and the lights in my room flickered 3 or 4 times, on each garment!  LOL  There were 48 images, so I had plenty of time to make sure that I’m not imagining it.  48 times my ceiling light flickered, perfectly timed to each imaged just before it closed the image.  The image would open, process, lights flicker, then image closed.  So what does this mean?  Does this mean that Photoshop actually caused an energy surge to do each of these little images.  Each image sizes averaged 500KB.  I’ve been a Photoshop user for several decades and this is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen.I’m using Photoshop 27.8OS Name    Microsoft Wi

Thanks to all who took part in our previous challenge. Who would have though a whisk could be so versatile.This week we start with a cordless drill. Actually it is a model from Adobe 3D assets, to which I added textures in Adobe 3D Substance Painter before rendering in Blender 3D.The challenge is, what can you make with the drill?The “rules”:Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.

 The Adobe application will not complete any rotations. Instead a orange error is displayed all the time.

I have this recurring problem with Photoshop, and possibly with the other CS applications too. Whenever I disconnect my 27-inch LG UltraFine 5K, Photoshop's window ends up being too large to show its grab-able title bar. I have not been able to figure how to solve this problem. It happens all the time, unless you purposely move Photoshop to the smaller MacBook monitor and resize it before quitting the application.No zooming or toolbar reset or anything else will reset the window to its proper window boundaries.Anyone have any ideas?

와콤 타블렛 필압 설정에서 약한 필압으로도 브러쉬가 그려지게 설정했는데, 브러쉬와 지우개 뿐만 아니라 돋보기에서 불편 사항이 발생합니다.↑위에 첨부한 사진처럼, 필압 프로파일 그래프에서 클릭 압력을 최소한으로 해뒀는데, 브러쉬와 지우개가 아주 만족스럽게 입력되었습니다. 그런데 그 설정 상태에서 돋보기 도구를 썼더니 펜에서 돋보기 도구가 이상해졌습니다. 펜을 타블렛 표면에서 필압을 줄이면 돋보기 확대 축소 상태가 해제되었으면 좋겠는데, 그래프 왼쪽에 있는 ▲ 클릭압력 점선을 가장 왼쪽으로 펜 필압을 0수치로 맞추면 돋보기를 쓸 때, 펜을 타블렛에서 아주 멀리 떼어 놓아야 돋보기 활성 상태가 해제 됩니다.  이렇게 될 경우 타블렛에서 펜을 멀리 떨어뜨려야 돋보기 활성 상태가 해제됨으로 빠른 작업 과정에서 큰 불편이 발생합니다. 브러쉬와 지우개 등은 아주 약하고 섬세한 필압이 인식 되었으면 좋겠는데, 돋보기는 그 필압이 동일한 수치로 적용되지 않았으면 좋겠어요. 돋보기 커서에서 캔버스가 떨어지지 않고 마음대로 확대 축소 되어서 굉장히 불편합니다. 고쳐주세요.  돋보기에 불편한 상태가 계속 발생해서 ↓ 아래 사진 처럼 필압 ▲ 클릭압력을 오른쪽으로 조금 미세하게 옮겨서 사용하고 있습니다. 그러나 필압 클릭 압력 시작 기준 수치를 맨 왼쪽으로 옮겨서 적은 필압으로 브러쉬와 지우개와 그림 도구들을 사용하고 싶습니다.돋보기도 브러쉬, 지우개와 함께 필압이 함께 예민해지는 현상을 수정해주세요. 돋보기는 필압이 좀 덜 예민하게 적용되게 해주세요.
