I tried to transform my image with a different ratio or whatever I want to change but it keeps its ratio that I can not make it as a long line or different size like square or rectangular. After 2019 CC, it keeps bothering me. Any idea how to resolve this?

Only 2~3 calibration per year? Eizo monitors with a calibration sensor can calibrate automatically every single time. It can calibrate once you change the profile presets. It is NOT recommended to calibrate only a few time per year. I guess you are not serious about calibration. There are a lot of people calibrate their monitor every single time to get accurate colors. The reason for using hardware calibration is to save calibrated settings in the monitor itself, not the computer. It also controls everything directly to monitor, unlike software calibration. If I can't use HW calibration, what's the point of spending and using BenQ SW series? I cant afford Eizo with $2500 but I can try paying it monthly so I have no reasons to use BenQ monitors with crap quality and consistency.

That's unnecessary and complicated workflow. BenQ is not serious about professional monitors at all especially their hardware calibration software is trash. This is why I'm going to get Eizo monitor with built-in calibration sensor. They provide 5 years of warranty which is really good. Eizo CG series with a calibration sensor is seriously simple and automatic. It constantly calibrates the monitor to maintain accurate colors. Why would I waste my time to do all that stuff? This is very funny that they recommended me to use an older version to avoid issues. At this point, BenQ monitors are very unreliable to use. One of my BenQ SW2700PT is totally not able to use hardware calibration because their software broke it. You get what you pay for.

PME is just BS. I clean installed my Mac for several times since I can't even open PME but I still having a lot of issue. 1. The calibrated result didn't even apply to my monitor!!! What kind of error is this? 2. I had to use an older version since the latest version is causing issues. 3. Automatically log my computer off... Seriously? 4. It doest give accurate white balance and brightness. WTF. PME is the biggest issue here. I formatted at least 3 times! I had to assume that PME is the main issue that BenQ have to fix this and yet there no way to contact and chat with them. For professional uses, BenQ monitors are so horrible.

Their calibration software is just BS. Seriously? Do you see that green light? I kept asking for help from BenQ for a long period of time and yet they are not able to solve their problems. This is why I can not recommend BenQ monitors for professional uses because of their poor software for hardware calibration. It sucks. I wish Eizo sell their monitors under $1000.

I can not rethink the layer usage because it is what it is. I can flatten layers but the problem is that I can not fix it later.

After testing, I would like to say something about it. 1. I was able to rescale images without artifacts. I exported both 13x19 300ppi and 44x60 300ppi but there is no difference at all. If I upscale from 75ppi or smaller image size, then I do see artifacts. And I DO get more details due to stacking tons of image. 2. No differences between 16 bit and 8 bit color. 3. However, I'm still getting between 10~30gb of PSB files even I use 8 bit and 150ppi due to massive amount of layers and canvas size.

I totally disagree. Because I already printed in different sizes between 13x19 and 44x60 but even at 44x60, it wasnt blurry at all but I see more details. I know that upsampling will make it blurry but when I did it and printed it, it didn't look blurry at all. That's why I used 44x60 canvas instead of 13x19. Also, when I upscaled images, I never had resampling artifacts.

Im checking my computer to tell you more information but I have to wait till tomorrow since one of my RAM is dead now. However, I do need to upscale my images because if I print it on 60x44 inch, it has to be 60x44 instead of 13x19. Otherwise, it wont gonna have more details and sharpness. I already tried and 13x19 canvas printed on 44x60 print produced a blurry result.

Im using 16bit because once I start stacking images, colors change dramatically or somewhat destroyed so I picked 16 bit.

You can't compare my works to Bert Monroy since he flattens files to create a work while I don't. I can not flatten my works since I need to fix some parts in future as Im working on it. Also, It's not a photo merge. Not even close. Im stacking layers on the canvas with a different blending mode. If I extend a 42mp file to fit 44x60, each layer's size will be increased. Also, 30 layers are not enough for me but that's my max since my computer can not deal with it. Yes, I checked everything before I start this project and yet it's still big.

1. It's for future proof. I dont wanna make layers again to create the same work. 2. Nope. 44x60 300dpi with multiple layers were around 30gb of PSB file and both Mac Pro 2013 and iMac Pro 2017 were not able to process and save it quickly. What you dont understand is that each PSB file has tons of layers. Whether 60 inch canvas with 300 dpi is not big or not, those layers make the project massive.

I tried to minimize the file size but it was impossible. I used JPEG files and yet I got 30gb PSB file. Because I extended files to 44x60 inch. If I shrink layers, then it is not a problem since I added 72 layers and yet I got only 8gb. I use A7R3 which 42mp camera. I use 20~30 images to combine them on Photoshop. Very simple and yet I get 30gb of PSB files. The reason for using 300 dpi is for future proofing. I might gonna print bigger than 44x60 inch print. But I wanna know the reason for supporting a high resolution like 600 dpi in Photoshop then.

Im using Mac Pro 2013 from my previous school since Im allows using their computers for 2 years so I didnt subscribed any Adobe plans at this point. I always have projects to do but the biggest problem is that both Photoshop and Mac Pro can not handle huge PSB files. Believe or not, each PSB files take 15gb to 30gb per each. That's right. Canvas size is 44 by 60 inch at 300ppi. I actually printed 44x60 inch prints more than 50 times from my school. Here's the problem. I wanted to create a canvas at 44x60 inch at 300ppi. The first project is fine but the second one is not. it took more than 60gb if I tried to use 44x60 inch canvas instead of 13x19 600ppi. Also, adding layers is so slow that I have to wait at least 5 min to add each layer. Im not using RAW files but JPEG but still it takes a lot of space. Mac Pro 2013 shut downed by itself due to overheating for a lot of time and saving took more than 30min. Well, I have 40 PSB files so far. I am eager to create large fine art but I have no idea what to do. Im a Mac user but all Mac computers are not suitable for those tasks and Mac Pro 2013 is too risky to use. I totally doubt to use iMac Pro already. Building a desktop just for Photoshop is too expansive and risky since I have no idea if it works or not. At least I know that I need a super fast CPU like Intel Core i7 8086K, at least 64gb of RAM, any GPU, SSD storage, a liquid cooler, and etc. Until I find a solution, I may keep using Mac Pro 2013 from my school but it takes too, too, too much time to create one PSB file. Can you believe it takes 6 hours to create one PSB file? 30~60 layers too. I just wanna hear about technical solutions for my project in detail. Do I really have to build a custom desktop as I listed above?

I see few debates about the optimization for MacOS and Windows 10 from several forums. Does OS really matter for Adobe CC? I know that Windows 10 perform better since PC can have better CPU cooler while Mac does not base on several tests but I really want to know if OS optimization matter for Adobe CC softwares especially Premier Pro and After Effect.

Although I used Photoshop for few years, I still feel that I'm having lack of skills for photography. I have no issues with printing in photoshop. I would like to focus on features, color techniques, skin retouching, fashion editing, and etc. I wish to apply for an internship but photoshop skill is necessary. If I want to improve my base skills and be fluent in photoshop, where should I study at?(online only)

Hello, The comparison is quite different here. My main objective is to print as large as possible like 60X44 inch. I use Sony A7rii which has 42mp sensor. If you resize photos to be smaller, yes, it will take less space. However, If you enlarge photos, it will take a lot of space.

Hi I'm a visual artist who manipulates photographs for art. Well, Im going to graduate soon but I always facing performance issues because of the size of each photoshop files between 5~40gb. Yeah, that's really huge. But it depends on what type of project that Im working on. If I compress tons of images like 50 images on one canvas, it doesn't take too much space from 8~11gb for 13x19 1200ppi canvas size. On the other hand, if I enlarge files, I can put only 10~20 images and take 30~40gb for 13x19 1200ppi canvas. Even the smallest PSB files, it takes a lot of time to save and apply adjustments due to file sizes. BTW I'm using Mac Pro 2010 with dual 3.47ghz CPU. I know that Mac Pro 2010 is old and slow but even Mac Pro 2013 is not that faster than Mac Pro 2010 base on my experiences. I know that Photoshop relies on CPU speed rather than cores but Im seeing limitation from Mac computers due to slower CPU speed and limited cooling system. iMac Pro is quite tempting but not my option due to the poor cooling system. While I work on just ONE PSB file, CPUs become extremely hot, especially while I'm saving it. I dont have any Window computers and Im already a Mac user but I def need high CPU speed like 4~5ghz. I wonder if Adobe has a plan to support multi-cores as many as possible for huge PSB files. Any idea about increasing the speed and performance or should I get a new computer?

I can not open the file and it shows that message. My file is 3F file. 3F is a raw file from imacon scanner. It works without any issues but I can not open some files. I scanned 4 frames together and it has 1.4gb size. I assume that the file size causing this issue but I have 30gb PSB files so I really dont understand why is this happening.
