Questions

Hi! i am embedding an illustrator file into my photoshop file but whenever i place the image it looks completely different from the original file and i do not mean the colors i mean the shapes are on completely different layers. Ive had this happen to me multiple times now but i dont know how to fix this. it just fixes itself after some time. Does anyone know a fix or what's causing this to happen?

In Photoshop: I open a photo and duplicate it. Adjust Saturation in HSL adjustment layer to say 75 (yes very high but really want to see what's happening). On duplicate I addjust Saturation (not vibrance) in Vibrance adjustment layer to same, 75, amount. The photos are very different.Why?See attached photo.

Hi, I frequently import TIF drawings into photoshop in RGB 204, 204, 204 (grey), but need to change all pixels to 255, 255, 255 (white).At the moment, I'm using the paint bucket to change the grey pixels to white. This is time-consuming because PS doesn't do a flood fill because of jagged edges. Is there a way of getting PS to recognize all the grey pixels and change them to white?

What is the importance of "Apply Layer Mask"?  

I am writing a book about a painter.  I have many of his works, but they are damaged. The damage is very evident in the photos I have taken. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to "repair" the damage by retouching the photos. I'm on a Mac Mini running Sequoia and have a creative cloud subscription. My experience is limited, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I want this simple effect:The line is above the text and where they intersect, it cuts the text content. Where they don't intersect, the line is visible. I'm using red just to make it clear, but I will be using a black and white texture to emulate something like this: Important: I need the text to be editable, so the texture will stay on top, untouched. I can't rely on making a selection out of the text and then create a mask from that selection, because then I'm stuck to only being able to use that text. Also, when it comes to the texture, should my texture be 100% black and white, or can I use texture that has gray as well? Or do I absolutely need black over transparency, only? I would like this to be a workflow where I can save it as a style so I can easily reuse it. Thanks

Hi community,can we change a server path in PS Droplets? The situation is as follows: we have several Droplets, some of which are linked to JavaScript, where we no longer have the original PS actions. Now the server path has changed and the server has been taken offline.Is it possible to change the path in the Droplets? Or does anyone know of a way we can do this so that we can use the Droplets again? Thank you very much for your input.

This is one of those things that I have been annoyed by for ever, and I am wondering if it can be bypassed? When you are zoom way way in to a path or shape and need to move a point, if you are close to a guide then the icon switches to the Guide Edit tool.   The GIF below is not 100% to scale as I could not get a screen shot of the edit guide icon, so I made it.  You'll get the idea though.  I was zoomed in to close to 3000%.  So is there, say, a spring loaded shortcut that will force Photoshop to ignore the guide?  I can turn off the guide of course, but the whole point is to align to it, and better still, snap to it.  This happens with Pen, path select, and direct select. 

Hi everyone,I have a picture of a round jar, and I want to place a logo and some text so it looks like it’s actually printed on the jar.I’ve tried:Warp / Arch text → doesn’t follow the jar properlyDisplace → didn’t get the realistic effect I wantOther free-transform tricks → alignment and perspective still look weirdNo matter what I try, the text and logo look unnatural or distorted.Can anyone explain the best workflow to make it look realistic on a curved jar? Screenshots or step-by-step advice would be amazing!Thank you so much!

Photoshop Team first I do not want to sound unappreciative of your work in PS. However, just realized the panel in PS where Files (image attached) are located. How difficult would it be to add LrC link. This would definetly enhance the interoperabilty between the apps.

After an update the gradient tool reverted to its new implementationI spent a few weeks trying to use it - I gave it a shot.This is why it doesnt work for me:I use it on masks. Thats pretty much it, but I use it a lot.  I rarely use just one, by default I have it set to screen, I create a black mask and add gradients to it.  I failed to find a graceful way to add more than one gradient to a mask with the new tool.  If there is a way, it is not at all obvious or intuitive. The problem isn't just with this tool though, its with the overwhelming feeling of total pointlessness I feel in writing this, and the culture that creates in the community.  How many people just give up trying to give feedback.  There's only so many years you can try to point things out, report bugs that go unresolved (one for premiere is now 7 or 8 years old).  Do you have people testing this stuff that have been using photoshop for 30 years? I'm pretty sure that I wouldnt be

I'm planning to buy a PC primarily for Photoshop and Lightroom, along with some video editing using After Effects and Premiere Pro. I need it to be powerful enough to handle the latest versions of these programs smoothly for several years.I have an option to choose between Ryzen 7 7700X, Intel Core i7-14700F and Intel Core i9-14900KF. What would you recommend? I'm currently leaning towards Intel Core i9-14900KF but I've read about some crashes/issues so I would like to be sure it is actually the best option.The other specs would be these:RAM: 64 GBHDD: 2 TBSSD: 2 TB M.2 NVMEGraphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX4070 SUPERGraphics Card Memory: 12 GB GDDR6X

In short, how do I use the Curves adjustment layer to match the RGB values of a layer that is ABOVE it?(the one I'm sampling—the one I need to remain UNaffected by the Curves layer) As soon as I click on the Curves layer, all RGB info from that topmost layer disappears. Because this is hard to describe in words pardon the following 9 images 🙂

Hi Recently my company changed to adobe teams or something and now I have no generative credits.  They do not understand my need for these (ug) so I tried using the browser version of photoshop and it does have the credits, or at least I am able to use generative fill.  WHy is this?  I would just use the browser version but it does not give me an option to save to my hard drive only to the cloud.  Can anyone provide me with some insight on what is happening?  Thanks

Hi folks, TL;DR: I am trying to find (or create) a way to automatically relink all linked objects across multiple subfolders from a shared drive in a single PSD upon opening the file in Photoshop CC for MacOS. Long version: I work in a studio where PS files must be shared between a team of artists and many of us touch the files at different points in the process. We have container PSDs with multiple linked objects in each, and the source files for the linked objects are stored on a shared Google Drive. MacOS changes the base directory for the shared drive to each person's username and Google Drive has its own credentials, so that even when the relative folder placement remains the same (ex. SharedDrive/Folder/Workfiles/Example.psd) the absolute path changes upstream from the files, forcing each artist to relink all the files manually at open. (ex. Users/NameNameson/Library/CloudStorage/GoogleDrive-namenameson@companyname.com/SharedDrive/Folder/Workfiles/Example.psd)We have di

Today, I noticed that Export As is trimming out invisible pixels automatically.  In the screen shot, my image is 3072x1024. Export As treats it as a trimmed down 2734x437. This is not at all what I need. Is there a checkbox to turn this off? -- Save for Web (Legacy) does save out without trimming, however I try and avoid using that tool anymore, since I am affraid Adobe will someday remove it entirely.  

Cropping a lot of images one by one. Need your help to speed up the process. Final image should be : Aspect ratio 3:4. Keep the background color.(might change...but mostly in the 240-255 values) Center the subject. Crop above the nose. Any help is appreciated !

Finally i found out how to set tool options, so here is a script that switches tools Sample Mode.And finally we can assign a shortcut to that.For some tools it toggles "Sample All Layers" on/off,for others it switches Sample Mode between Current / Current & Below / All Layers / etc.In the start of the script there is a variable called 'includeAllOptions' that controls whether to cycle all options (set to true) or only Current / Current & Below (set to false).The script will appear in the top of the File / Scripts menu.It was kinda hard to figure some stuff out, so i decided not to encrypt it's contents, so that anyone could investigate it.Happy switching ☺ And if you have any comments, questions or suggestions, i'll be happy to hear them.The script:/* <javascriptresource> <name>Switch Sample Mode</name> <enableinfo>true</enableinfo> <category>Hirlin Scripts</category> </javascriptresource> // Oleksii Hirlin 2021 */ var includeAllO
