How to Create Realistic Grass in Photoshop

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

Something for the Weekend - Part 269 - Off the cuff!

Thanks to all who took part in our ‘mystery’ challenge. It is amazing to see the variations explaining what might have happened in the woods.Those who regularly take part in these challenges will know that sometimes we start with an object and sometimes a scene. This week it is the turn of these handcuffs. They are from Adobe 3D assets and were textured in Substance Painter, along with the other objects, then rendered in Blender 3D, before finishing in Photoshop. How will you use the cuffs? Will they appear on someone in your image or will you turn them into something else completely?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 fro

Photoshop insists that file must be saved as PSB

Using Photoshop 27.11 in Windows 11. I have a 16-bit image file with six layers and dimensions of 3461x3461. Photoshop insists that this needs to be saved as a PSB as it’s too large to be saved as a TIFF. This seems odd to me as I have never encountered this before despite having many image files with larger dimensions and more layers. Also, the option to save as or export as TIFF are both missing. Is this because Photoshop thinks the file is too big?

P: You don't have enough credits...

Hello. This message starts to pop up now with using GenAI tool (Photoshop beta and 26.7.0, both version) "You don't have enough credits for this generative action. Upgrade your Firefly plan now to get more credits for continued access or wait until your monthly reset."I have the annual subscription (renewed several days ago) and 250 credits included into this plan. Usually when all credits are gone, GenAI just continue to work slower, but there wasn't any block to use this tool. Are there any new rules/tariff changes for using this tool?

Is there a way to save JPEG resampling settings for Quick Export?

I'm trying to streamline my JPEG export workflow in Photoshop.I understand that Quick Export allows me to configure JPEG quality in Preferences, but I don't see an option to specify the resampling method (Bicubic, Bicubic Sharper, etc.).Export As provides these options, but I find myself having to select my preferred quality and resampling settings each time I export an image.Is there a way to save these settings as defaults so I don't have to configure them every time? Ideally, I'd like to use Quick Export with my preferred JPEG quality and Bicubic resampling method.Am I overlooking something, or is this simply not supported?

Not able to use Remove Tool when the image is coming from LrC

I am currently working on a Mac mini, Tahoe 26.7. I have the Creative Cloud Photography plan with 1 TB on a yearly plan.The issue that I have been experiencing is the inability to use the REMOVE TOOL when taking an image from Lightroom Classic into Photoshop. When I click on the remove tool, I get a message: Required components are being downloaded. Check back later to use the feature once the download is complete. I do that, hit ok and nothing. I will try again and hit cancel and briefly a message says that the download successfully installed. There is still no change to the situation and the option bar for the remove tool does not appear. The mouse just turns into a cross hair.I also noted that the PS icon appears again on my dock when I am working in photoshop in this situation. I am not sure if this is a relevant matter. I am running Lightroom 15.5.1, camera raw 18.5.1 and Photoshop 2026, 27.10.0 release.I have spent 3 hours on 3 separate occasions with tech support at Ado

How can I verify whether students completed their Illustrator assignments themselves or modified the provided End files?

Hi, I’m a Teaching Assistant for a graphic design course. My instructor and I have been having issues with students submitting the completed End files from Adobe Classroom in a Book lessons as their own work. Some even modify the End files before submitting them.We now require students to submit their original Illustrator and Photoshop working files (.ai). Is there a reliable way to check a file’s editing history or determine whether a student worked through the lesson themselves instead of modifying the provided End file?

GPU is switched Off and cant get it back on in Camera raw

I am having GPU issues. All worked fine on my laptop until about 3 weeks ago. Camera Raw shut down my GPU and In camera Raw preferences/performance GPU status shows off and is greyed out. Below the status box there is a message telling me that an error occurred and my GPU has been disabled. In Help /GPU compatibility everything is fine and ticked. In Edit / Preferences / General my GPU is ticked and in advanced settings all boxes are ticked except for 30 bit display. I have uninstalled and re-installed all my Adobe apps (I am on subscription so have latest versions (Craw 18.7.0 2743) and I have reinstalled my graphics driver from the Nvidia site (Nvidia GeForceRTX 4050Laptop Version 617.42) I have even done a factory rest on my laptop but without success.

Export As" window glitches (Photoshop Version 27.9)

The "Export As" window is glitching, which sometimes makes it go behind Photoshop. Additionally, its size does not stay adjusted as usual and it is always smaller. I have to resize it every time I open the program and use the "Export As" function.Another problem is that the file preview is pixelated, which does not happen in the regular version. This started in this last beta update; it didn't have this problem before. Furthermore, the image only looks good if I set the zoom to 100%. However, I cannot see the full image with good quality like before because it goes past the borders. I have to keep moving it to see the corners that do not show up. Image from Photoshop version 27.9 Previous version 27.8 is perfectly normal and trouble-free.Image from Photoshop version 27.8I reported this bug in the Beta version, and even so, they updated the definitive version with the exact same error that many people were complaining about. Apparently, the Beta version is no longer serving its purpose

P: PS 27.9 and later (GenAI): Generative Fill not working as intendedOpen for Voting

Hey everyone,Up until recently, I was using Photoshop 27.8 (Mac 26.5.1) and everything worked perfectly fine.The newer Generative Fill and Expand model produces textures that are way too smooth. I’d even call them blurry. And yes, I’m aware of the 1024×1024 px limitation, but this happens even with 100×100 px selection.Because of that, I’ve been using the old Firefly 1 model from 2023, which, unlike the newer model, works really well for my use case. It handles textures amazingly well. I mainly use it for removing distractions: I select the unwanted object, leave the prompt empty, hit Generate, and Firefly 1 understands perfectly well that the selected area should be removed.However, something seems to have changed starting with version 27.9.If I leave the prompt empty now, Firefly 1 starts generating completely random objects instead of simply filling/removing the selected area. For example, I had a white T-shirt with some red text on it that I wanted to remove. I selected the text, l

Remove Tool frequently gives program error and does nothing

When using the Remove Tool, sometimes it works but most frequently, after a long while of “Removing area...” I get an error: “Could not complete your request because of a program error”. Clicking the “Learn how to fix” doesn’t offer any help since all the solutions on that page I have tried or are not related with this case.This happens both in Ps Beta 28.0.1 and Ps 27.11.0 but it doesn’t happen always. Sometimes I try and it fails, then I redraw the selection again and it works with all the same parameters except for the hand drawn magenta selection.Tried to attach a screenshot here but it is not working properly now, so here is a link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/16IgiCRt0VKaeLZ342qE9pTLBgp8vCNzL/view?usp=sharing
