We would need guides that can be turned however we want.

Good evening,I took a 3 row astrophotography panorama last night. Bottom and middle layers have aligned and stitched together on. But the top layer, all stars, fails to align in Photoshop and lightroom. I've spent the afternoon searching on the internet and YouTube and can't find anything that's helped. It may be I'm not working what I'm looking to do well enough. I was using an automated pano tripod head and wondering if I can copy one row alignment to another? But haven't figured a way to do that. Does anyone have any ideas?Many thanks in advance,Sam 

I have a ton of shape layers that I’ve placed in a Photoshop document, and they are all different sizes. I want to be able to select all of my shape layers and run a script or use a plugin that will resize them all to specific pixel dimensions (maintaining aspect ratio).This my first attempt: // Scale Selected Layers Scriptif (app.documents.length > 0) { var targetWidthInPixels = prompt("Enter the desired width/height value in Pixels", "126", "Batch Layer Resize"); if (targetWidthInPixels !== null && targetWidthInPixels !== "") { var doc = app.activeDocument; var selectedLayers = getSelectedLayers(); var targetWidth = targetWidthInPixels; // Define desired width in pixels // Ensure units are pixels for accurate measurement var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits; preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS; for (var i = 0; i < selectedLayers.length; i++) { // Get current layer var layer = selectedLayers[i];

Hello everyone,I am currently building a new PC mainly for photo editing. I will be using an Intel 265K CPU. Back in December, I purchased an ASUS RTX 5060 Ti OC with 16GB GDDR7 (90YV0MG0-M0NA00). However, some friends recently told me that an RTX 5070 with 12GB would be a much better option, as it has the faster chip and also better for KI features.I frequently use the Denoise feature in Camera Raw within Photoshop, as well as the newer AI-based artifact removal tools. Since I haven’t opened the graphics card yet, I still have the option to exchange it for the RTX 5070.Do you think the RTX 5060 Ti is sufficient for this type of workload, or would upgrading to the RTX 5070 provide a noticeable real-world benefit for these features?Thank you in advance for your advice.Kind regards Christoph

Hi, latest Pshop 2025. (except for last update)I go file open as>camera Raw and open a jpg image. (sent me from someone 20 yrs ago)I improve shadows etc. as they were almost black, open it, save it.I then notice I am missing the right hand part of it. Open the original and its also now cropped.Open in MSpaint its all there, save  suffixed MSpaint.jpgopen that into Pshop 2025 as a .jpg, its missing that area again.😡Why did raw crop it and its sent that instruction into the inner coding of the jpg.There is no .xmp file to delete to kill the ACR activity. as it was an open as method.What do I now do ?Why did ACR crop it ?I tried opening original .jpg  into gimp and its all there, I can’t see a way of file save as, as a .jpg.ring Adobe tech (yet again, keep finding bugs and problems in 2025) and get goodbye, as its the weekend.Merlin

The list of custom shapes is very limited. Previously I had access to many shapes. Now I only have a few animals, leaf shapes, flowers and boats. All the symbol shapes are missing. How do I import these back in to photoshop please? ThanksGraham

I got a script that someone kindly shared on these forums to toggle continuous on the polygonal lasso tool a few years ago (can't remember who shared it and I can't seem to find it anymore, unfortunately). It was working just fine until a few updates ago when it started showing an error message instead.Would anyone be able to help me with a script that works on the most recent Photoshop version? 

I can not resize my adobe apps With the directional arrows except for the Creative Cloud app. I've been battling this for about a week thinking I did something wrong, but I've come to the conclusion that it must be an Adobe issue. My Photoshop, InDesign, and illustrator are all the affected apps. I've tried many things from resetting the app to uninstalling it seems like the only fix is turning off the application frame but it still doesnt fix the whole issue. I have a 2025 MacBook Pro. 

I know I can set up Lightroom to print multiple images of different dimensions,  but would like to do the same thing in Photoshop.  I can’t seem to find the right tutorial on YouTube.  Can someone provide a link?  

V 27.3.1. Windows 11.When PS crash, my custom actions went missing. When I load my backup actions, some of my assigned shortcut keys for my actions are gone. Actions are still there but the assigned keys are gone. I have to manually add the keys to the actions.I then backup the actions to another name. When PS crash again, the same thing happened, actions went missing. Reload it with the new backup, same thing. Some of the assigned keys are missing,

I am intrigued by the work of this artist, Jr Kopra, and i am wondering what kind of techniques he would be using in Photoshop (if he's using photoshop) to create his work.Here are some links to his work:https://youtu.be/uuLsTDNyJjI?si=g0gFXMZ0OYHq4TJihttps://unsplash.com/@jrkorpahttps://www.instagram.com/jrkorpa/I am just an amature, so if someone could shed a light on the processes is Photoshop how one would go about creatin such art, it would be much apriciated.This is what I have come up so far…..motion blur; moving the camera while taking the pictureglass painting, with oil, acryl etc. But also with water, oil , gel. Meaby freeze a glass plate in the freezer with a bit of water on it..light painting; moving lights while taking the picturelayered Photoshop compositing; and that’s what were talking about here:Different types of blur (or is it in camera? Out of focus) Copy, move the image, transform it and layer it with different opacity Use all kinds of effects, but what kinds? Use

I've just recently switched over to CC from CS6, so I'm still wonky on a few things regarding CC. One thing that especially bothers me is that I usually have the brush, color and layer tab opened and docked at all times. But when I switch between the Color and Swatches tab in my tab group, the Layer panel suddenly collapses completely unprompted!!I'd have to click on it again to maximize it again, this didn't happen in CS6 and I wanna know if this is fixable or not cause I don't want to have to physically reopen the Layer tab every single time I switch between Color and Swatches Tab. Please help me!!

When using the healing brush or spot healing brush and you are working on the edge of a selection, the sampling considers all pixels in the surrounding area. When you are making a selection to work on (eg: a light sky against a dark mountain) and want to do some healing in the sky, on the edge of the selection, the dark mountain will “contaminate” the healing of the light sky. It would be nice if it would only consider the pixels in the active selection, and not the pixels on the other side of selection line.Right now I must find other ways to heal on the edge of a selection.

If I’m using the Remove Tool without “remove after each stroke”, then I can make a selection/paint a lot of things and hit ✅ after that to remove all at once, which is really useful.However, If I’m doing that, painting/selecting everything I need to remove, and only then I realized I’m using the incorrect layer, or a layer mask for example… It doesn’t allow me to change layers while the tool is running.Please allow users to click on a different layer BEFORE hitting ✅ to commit changes

+1Just started experimenting with this feature and it would be so much more flexible with a transparent background option!

Hello everyone, Is anyone experiencing Ps not running properly after updating their Macbook Pro to Tahoe 26.0? Every action takes 10 seconds to load, it's super laggy and literally unusable. I purged, I restarted, I reinstalled, I did it all - nothing.  Any ideas? Is this a bug Adobe/Apple have to sned an update for? 16in 2019 i9, UHD 630, 32GB RAM, 500GBThanks, have a good day

I’d like to be able to order layer effects instead of: Adding an effect, then creating a group, then adding the layer styles you wanted to before but couldn’t, then repeat for any other effects that need to be top-level but are below other effects by default in the Blending options menu. Perhaps it’s technically difficult to program, but I’d like to be able to apply a color overlay above an inner-shadow effect, instead of adding an inner-shadow, creating a new group, then applying the color overlay. Also, like drop shadows, there should be an option to create multiple outer glow effects. It’s annoying to have to convert all my shadows to glows and then back again when I want shadows for a different layer.

I want to change the color of a color in a delimited area of my image.  if I choose Color Range and select a color, it selects that color throughout the image.  I only want to affect the color in a specific area of the image.  I don’t want to select the area using the Lasso Tool since this will create a sharp boundary for the area that is affected.  Rather, I want to use the Brush Tool so the section I am targeting is not sharply delineated.  How can I use the Brush Tool to apply the desired edit?  Thank you.  

Hello everyone,I’m working on a small restoration project involving 11 Edo-period Japanese woodblock prints (ukiyo-e) - see image attached.My goal is not to modernize or “beautify” the images, but to reduce age-related degradation while preserving the historical and illustrative character of the prints.Specifically, I’m trying to address: Yellowing / brownish paper tone caused by aging Foxing, stains, uneven discoloration Loss of contrast due to paper aging Minor texture noise from scanning or paper wear What I do want: Cleaner paper tone (closer to original washi/off-white) More legible colors and linework Preservation of flat color areas, woodblock texture, and period feel What I do not want: Over-smoothing Painterly or “AI-like” results Loss of line sharpness Anything that makes the print look digitally repainted or contemporary I’m working in Photoshop, with high-resolution scans.I’m finding it difficult to remove aging artifacts without flattening or sterilizing th

hi good evening I wanted to ask since I'm not an expert in the sector, if adobephotoshop and the apps it includes can help me with my problem, practically I have a video in which there are 2 emojis covering the face and I would like to delete them how can I do? since the app acts only on images, would it also work by taking a screenshot of the video?

Hello. Another annoyance- TOOL TIPS pop up when hovering over and block every tool. Tried googling it and got several suggestions, but still can't disable it.>Preferences: (first of all, there is no “Preferences” - it’s “Settings”) uncheck: Tooltips- OK >Disable “Rich Tooltips”- Can’t find that! >Preferences: enable “Quiet Mode”- can’t locate that, even with search. Oh No! can’t turn off this number thing. Lost 30 minutes of my work time and life over this. Are you kidding me with these updates? Now Adobe is asking for my administrator’s password?
