Have you followed the advice given by Jane above? If that did not resolve it, then the preference reset advised by Jeff? Dave ... View more

It sounds a good idea Trevor. It is always good to see how images were made. Dave ... View more

I am puzzled as to how your Mac reports 75GB of RAM usage on a system that you say has only 64GB of RAM. I use Windows so I don't know the background of the  Mac activity monitor and how it calculates process memory, but it does look strange.   Photoshop will always use the RAM allocated to it and will alway use scratch disk space regardless of how much RAM you have. That is normal (I have 256GB RAM here and scratch disk use can run to several hundred GB). Raster editing involves moving around a huge amount of data and that data needs to be stored for every layer and every step in history. Scratch disk is not a fall back when RAM is used up, the scratch disk is the primary storage space for that data and RAM is used for fast access to parts of that data.   Can you go to Photoshop's System info, click 'Copy' and paste the info here.

This is the kind of image that, for me, makes SFTW. No matter how long I took, I would not have come up with this idea. The execution is also good, not only rotating the rocks but flipping them so that the lighting is from the top. Excellent. Dave ... View more

He'll be nice and crispy if it's as hot there as it looks 🙂 Dave ... View more

A prehistoric follow on from Didier's underwater image. You've brought us the missing connection between land and sea. Dave ... View more

One day they'll be fossils! That's a nice job turning the landscape into a sea floor, Didier. Dave ... View more

Haha, go Marvin, it's yours! 🙂 Dave ... View more

But did they know that they fell into alignment with other planets this week? Dave ... View more

Haha. There is a parking area near here, that has a sign saying 'No chain saws allowed' which always puzzles me as to why they felt the need for such a sign! 🙂 Dave ... View more

It fits well JR. You have done a great job matching the lighting direction. Dave ... View more

A change of lighting but matching the shadows and directions to the starter image - nice job. Dave ... View more

Brilliant Trevor! You have so much going on in there that you have to spend a while looking for it all. There are some excellent touches such as using Jabba the Hutt as the drum and keeping the fonts similar to the original. I love it. Dave ... View more

It looks much cooler now that you have added the water. I like the hint of reflection on the water surface at the left. Nice job! Dave ... View more

At first I thought 'sandstorm' then, looking closer, I see it is more sinister than that! Dave ... View more

It is like a scene from Close Encounters. 🙂 The people and tents could do with a little shadow, matching those already on the rocks, to help them sit on the ground. Dave ... View more

I think this is very clever. Adding the extra landscape while keeping the similar colours and texture has changed the perspective entirely, the front of the vehicle helps that illusion. Very nicely done. Dave ... View more

Haha - so I did Alan. Nicely done. Dave ... View more

After the change in colour, the landscape fits well with that theme, Greg. Dave ... View more

Yes, there is nothing in the 'rules' that restricts us to one planet 🙂 Dave ... View more

I like the dark atmosphere in this, Jeff. Are those rockets? If so, you've added a whole arsenal there! Dave ... View more

That's a very good match of the lighting direction on the rocks, the lander, and the astronaut, Trevor. I wonder if the earth should be partially in shadow? Dave ... View more

Haha. They appear everywhere don't they? I hope the golf buggy has four wheel drive to get across those rocks. 🙂 Dave ... View more

I didn't realise I was modelling Tracy Island, Trevor. This should be on Blue Peter 🙂 Dave ... View more

With this weeks title, someone had to do it 🙂 Dave ... View more

You can have two synchronised windows showing the same document and use the zoom and rotate view tools independently on either of them. You can edit the actual document (as opposed to the view) in either window and  other will update. Use Window > Arrange > New Window for xxxxdocumentnamexx Then Window >Arrange > Tile... as required If you want to independently edit both versions then you will need to duplicate the document Image > Duplicate and work on each. Without duplication you would end up with two sets of conflicting edits in the same document.   Dave ... View more
