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

Creating a line or shape with one of the shape tools does not show the stroke, fill, line weight, etc. properties for that object so that one or more of the properties can be changed. These may (though it seems inconsistently) appear when the shape is first created, but do not appear in the Properties panel for subsequent editing.Note: the only properties displayed and editable are the Transform properties.

Hello, I am experiencing a very annoying colour shift in my photos after Airdropping them from my Apple Macbook (Air 2023) to my Apple Iphone 14 Pro. After playing around it seems there is a colour tint shift towards a green tint. Adding some Magenta back into the image using the in-Iphone Image Editor brings it someway back but its still not perfect. There could be slight shift in White Balance too. To be specific I am working with 16-Bit files in Photoshop on Macbook Air with colour profile: LCD. I am exporting at PNG24 or JPEG 100% (Tried both) with both colour space settings "Convert to SRGB" and "Embed Colour Profile" ticked. Airdropping to Iphone 14 Pro. On both Mac and Iphone I have True Tone and Auto-Brightness turned off. Thinking its an export or colour space issue i tried searching online and found to my amazement this topic has been raised hundreds of times across various platforms (Apple Community, Adobe Community, Photoshop Community) yet no commu
Since today’s Photoshop 27.10 update, the “Edit in Photoshop” command in Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 is not working anymore for me. Photoshop opens automatically as before (if it’s not open yet) but no image is being loaded. Downgrading Photoshop to 27.9.1 resolves the issue and the “Edit in Photoshop” functionality is back to normal. I also tried to change the external editing file format from TIFF to PSD or PSB but this didn’t make any difference. Anyone else facing the same issue? I’m running macOS Tahoe 26.6.2. Closing and re-opening LRC and PS didn’t solve the problem, rebooting the machine also didn’t show any effect. P.S.: I posted this in the Photoshop forum as well
An option to restrict Liquify mesh to layer bounds on a smart object would be a massive time saver for us, smart liquify has good potential but is too susceptible to the mesh shifting position when changing canvas size and even importing layers from other documents with a different canvas size. problem/solution stems from this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1113544 "jworthin wrote: Currently the mesh is resized to the document bounds. If we added capability, how could Liquify know if the user wanted to see the entire document bounds or just the layer bounds? Does it matter? Could Liquify only show the layer bounds and not the document bounds in future versions? Would this negatively affect any other user work flows? What if Liquify was to detect a change in the (document or layer) bounds relative to the loaded SO mesh and pop a dialog asking the user how to handle the change, ie scale the old mesh to fit, fill new areas with new mesh, or ?? Thoughts?"
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
Hi. This is happening too often to be a coincidence and I’m not sure if this is a Photoshop issue or a Microsoft Word issue. But what seems to happen from time to time, only on one of the computers I use for work, is that when I open a Word document off a network drive and make a text selection and copy, Photoshop and (and not any other Adobe app) and Word becomes unresponsive. None of the programs ever crash, they just seem to hang endlessly. Only when I force-close Word does Photoshop become responsive again.I’m not sure what can consistently cause it, but when it does happen, it makes it very difficult to work with because I’m copying and pasting often and it actively stops me from doing that. This has happened on and off for months.Here is some basic system info:Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.11.0 20260929.r.26 8c16e56 x64 (final, Release)Number of Launches: 163Operating System: Windows 11 64-bitVersion: 11 or greater 10.0.26100.9711System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:5, S
When adding text to an image, the color picker to match the text with colors within the image has been missing (I’m using the lastest release).Painful Workaround -close the color picker, go back to the image, select the color dropper, pick the color, copy the color code….THEN go back to the text, highlight, select color, go to color code box, paste the color code.UGGGGHHHH…..
Hi,Sometimes, but quite often, when using a Curves adjustment as a smart adjustment on a Smart Object, after I create the first point and start dragging, the curve freezes and can’t be moved any further. The only workaround is to select the point and move it with the keyboard arrows.Sometimes, any further action on the selected Smart Object layer produces the following error:“Could not update smart object files because of a program error (2a135c.901).”Sometimes the error persists after a restart, sometimes not.Please fix!This bug is in addition to the flickering of the image while adjusting (when the Curves do work).
Hello, I am experiencing a critical issue with my new Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (2026) equipped with an NVIDIA RTX 5070 (8GB).The Problem: When using the laptop screen in "Hybrid Mode", Photoshop fails to detect the GPU (shows 0 MB VRAM). This is random: sometimes it happens, and sometimes it doesn't.. Even worse, moving panels or windows causes a permanent Black Screen that forces me to manually restart the computer.Important Observations: External Display works: If I move the Photoshop window to my external tablet (Huion), the flickering and black screens disappear. The issue seems tied to the laptop's internal display/Hybrid management. Legacy Mode: The only way to prevent the crash without restarting is checking "Use Older GPU Mode" in Preferences, but performance is terrible. The only real fix: Switching the entire laptop to "dGPU Only" (Discrete Graphics) mode via Lenovo Legion Space. This is a professional workstation and I cannot rely on disabling my integrated graphics (killing
Hi everyone, I would like to report this explicitly as a bug report, and I kindly ask that it not be moved to the Questions section again. The behavior is reproducible in my setup and appears to involve the interaction between Photoshop 27.6, Windows Ink, the Remove Tool, and assigned Wacom pen side switches. Short description In Photoshop 27.6, using the Remove Tool repeatedly causes a massive memory increase. Photoshop then becomes unresponsive for a while and eventually shows the error message: “The operation could not be completed because there is not enough RAM.” In my tests, this happens when using the Wacom pen, but not when performing the same Remove Tool actions with the mouse. Key findingI ran several comparison tests with the same file while monitoring Windows Task Manager. Test 1 – Remove Tool with mouse inputPhotoshop 27.6 Windows Ink enabled Remove Tool input with the mouse 46 Remove Tool strokes no freeze no RAM errorMemory usage increases somewhat, but remains controlle
I am working on today’s files and some of the images turn black as I rate them (in this case 5 stars). The files show up when I open them but this shouldn’t be happening.
Hi!I have a studio photograph of glasses with a gold metal frame. The image will be used for online shopping, so colour accuracy is very important.The issue is that the white highlights and dark shadows obscure the actual gold colour of the frame, making it difficult to represent the product accurately. What would be the best way to reduce the highlights and minimize the shadows in Photoshop while preserving the natural gold colour and metallic appearance of the frame? Thank you!Feiga
This problem is here for 10 years.The combo Art pen 1 + cintiq 27QHD works, but art pen 1 combined with 2016 or newer Wacom tablet, not.I’ve just updated my art pen from the new one : Art pen 2. I bought a new cintiq (24 touch). And this is what happens in photoshop. CSP is almost fine, while a tiny little 17$ app makes the job perfectly… Please fixed this. I read a user reporting this like 6 years ago. 6 . YEARSLots of people are complaining on reddit about this.
