A big thank you to everyone who took part in our last ‘Off the cuff’ challenge. Also thanks for your patience in waiting for the new challenge, whilst the image upload functionality was restored.The SFTW challenges last two weeks and this one covers Halloween. I couldn’t let that pass without having a bit of fun. I rendered this scene in Blender 3D using models from Adobe 3D Assets which I textured in Adobe Substance Painter. After rendering I finished the image in Photoshop. So we have a haunted house. What will you produce with it, to fit this week’s scary theme.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”. The challenge is not limited to Photoshop. Any Adobe software can be used. There are no prizes apart from the chance to prac
Ever Feel Like You’ve Painted Yourself Into a Corner?Sometimes in Photoshop, the shape of your brush makes a simple cleanup harder than it needs to be. A round tip is useful for curved edges and soft transitions, but its curved outline can leave a gap where two straight edges meet.A square brush gives you straight sides and defined corners that you can align with your subject. In this guide, we’ll find a square brush, rotate its tip, draw straight strokes, and combine it with layer masks and selections for precise cleanup.Note: A square tip fits a right-angle corner when it is aligned correctly. For an acute angle or an irregular edge, use a smaller tip and a selection to protect the surrounding area Get the BrushStart with a simple square tip in Photoshop on desktop. Use a temporary empty pixel layer to test the brush before working on your image or mask.Select the Brush Tool in the Tools panel, or press B. If another tool in that group is active, choose Brush Tool from the group. Cho

Let’s Create Some Grass Brush Details Using Adobe Photoshop!The Grass brush in Photoshop can be used to effectively add grass details to a composition in a randomized - yet controlled - way. We'll discover how to access the Grass brush - which can be a major stumbling block for designers unfamiliar with this brush. We'll also examine the peculiar features of this brush through an examination of Brush Settings. Finally, we'll go ahead and use the Grass brush to add details to a photographic composition to make the scene appear to be more overgrown and unkempt. How to Create this Detail in Photoshop: Loading the Legacy Brushes CollectionThe first item that needs to be addressed is the location of the Grass brush. If you are looking for it within your pre-installed brush collections… you likely will have a hard time finding it - as it is considered a Legacy Brush and that collection of brushes must be loaded first, before you can access the brush.In Photoshop, select the Brush tool and o

Dear Adobe Photoshop Team,I am a professional photographer and a paying Adobe customer. I have always been willing to pay for high-quality professional software, and I would like to continue using Photoshop.However, I am increasingly disappointed with Adobe's generative AI credit policy.Photoshop is already a subscription-based product. Despite paying for it every month, customers face additional usage limits on features such as Harmonize.My current subscription includes only 25 generative credits per month. This is not enough to make regular professional use of AI features. It barely allows me to experiment with them.My request is simple: Remove generative AI credit limits for paying Photoshop subscribers.I am not asking for Photoshop to be free. I am asking Adobe to stop restricting access to its integrated AI tools for customers who already pay for the software.I use Capture One for most of my photographic editing and other AI solutions for creative tasks. Photoshop is still an impo

Let’s Explore Texture Brushes in Adobe Photoshop!Designing with texture brushes in Photoshop can produce a lot of interesting textures in your compositions. Of course, knowing how to adjust the application of these brushes and best apply them to your subject can take some additional know-how rather than simply laying down texture all over the place… and what should we keep in mind as we create our texture brush and adjust its settings? We're going to have a quick look at all these considerations when using texture brushes. How to Design with Texture Brushes in Photoshop: Create a Texture BrushFirst, we'll need to access the Brush tool and create a texture brush through the Brush Settings panel.In Photoshop, select the Brush tool and open the Brushes panel - you can find that under Window > Brushes. In the Brushes panel, twirl open the General Brushes set and select the Soft Round brush preset. Open the Brush Settings panel by choosing Window > Brush Settings from the applicati

Since 10/29 Photoshop has quit unexpectedly twice, something it's never done before. Crash reports were turned off in Photoshop so I have no crash reports. Here are the Windows Event logs:https://footnoteconspiracy.com/Photoshop%20error%20log%202026-10-29.txthttps://footnoteconspiracy.com/Photoshop%20error%20log%202026-10-31.txtHere is my version info:https://footnoteconspiracy.com/Adobe%20Photoshop%20Version%2026.11.3%20202.txt
I don’t have any other details to report. The error message always appears after the program has apparently closed, which is rather strange. I have not suffered any lost work. It is concerning, though, since I don’t really know what is going on. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
Photoshop 27.11.0 will sometimes crash when selecting the Object Selection Tool. Windows 11 Pro with Intel i9, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060. Happens randomly when choosing the Object Selection Tool. Reset Photoshop preferences, made no difference. Disabled Object Finder and Object Subtract, made no difference. Generated crash report multiple times, sent to Adobe. Sometimes it will black out the entire screen before crashing, sometimes will freeze Photoshop where task manager can’t end task, requiring system reboot.
Both times I have used Generative AI to alter photos of nude models, the selected area either generates nothing at all or a black graphic area. These are nude adults so from what I understand that isn’t a guideline issue. If it is, then I would assert that most people using Photoshop are artists, and artists commonly have to deal with models or paint human figures, etc. I have no idea why this would or should be an issue. Adobe should not be policing what art is made, and in my case these photos are being edited to be reference for traditional figure paintings. Should I remind Adobe that for thousands of years we have been making traditional, classical nude art?
This amazed the heck out of me, so I have to share. My wife is President of a local Garden Club and asked me to help create a poster for an event. Because she has never used Generative AI, she was not encumbered with thoughts that limited what you might reasonably ask of it, so she gave me this completely (I thought) OTT prompt to paste in its entirety into the Prompt to Edit text field:Create a premium A4 Christmas Lunch invitation for the Awatere Garden Club. Surround the entire invitation with a lush, realistic floral border dominated by bright red New Zealand pōhutukawa flowers, silver fern fronds, kawakawa leaves, mānuka foliage, native greenery and a few hydrangeas and roses. The border should be abundant and elegant with no empty corners. Add subtle gardening elements at the bottom including a vintage watering can, garden trowel and gardening gloves. Centre panel in warm cream parchment with sophisticated typography in deep green and Christmas red. High-quality print-ready de
When I place a photo into an existing Photoshop document, I’d like Photoshop to offer an option to automatically resize and center it to fit the canvas while preserving its proportions.It would be useful to have two choices: Fit, which shows the whole photo, and Fill, which covers the canvas and crops the image only if needed. This would save me from manually resizing every image with Free Transform, especially when working with portrait, landscape, or differently sized images.
Forced AI is generating a resurgence of open source tools. Adding an “Non-AI” or “AI Free” option to installations and apps would be highly advisable. Furthermore, a lot of individuals are already running with limited hardware and resources, and these AI features are burning up computer resources rendering simple tasks like cropping a jpeg almost impossible. For the longest time the only thing preventing me, as well as a lot of other users, from switching to a Linux OS has been the power of the Adobe tools. However, as Adobe keeps up with this forced usage and installation of AI they will start to lose more users to programs like Davinci and Darkroom.
On the File drop down menu, "Print" and Print One Copy" are greyed out and I cannot from Photoshop 27.11 access my Canon Pixma Pro 200 printer. I have downloaded and installed the latest print drivers. Operating System, Windows 11. My printer is working and prints both black and white and color in applications other than Photoshop 27.11.
Hello,I am scanning my old negatives from the '70s and the images have curvy edges.How can I fix this? I tried using AI, but it ruined the whole picture.As a novice, I would be grateful for a step-by-step explanation.For example, the right side and bottom are curvy:
