I find Auto often works - although it is balancing the various transformations and sometimes , dependant on the image, doesn't quite get them grid perfect. As an aside - you can reload older Photoshop versions from the CC desktop if you need them and have previously uninstalled them. Hope you get some progress Dave ... View more

Ryan You say there was no crash report. Have you looked for the Windows report. Type Reliability into the windows search box, then click on View Reliability History. You will see some critical events marked with a red cross. Click on the one at the time of your crash . You will see Photoshop listed (and possibly other programs/services) Then double click on the application name  (i.e. Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 not the action column) and you will open a crash report.

I’ve never used Black Ink – but from your description the following may help. It works by using brushes with the clone stamp tool and locking the clone stamp tool so it is painting at exactly the same place on a new layer as it is picking up colour from an image layer. I’ve set up 3 layers – an image (of a fish) – a white fill – and an empty layer which I have labelled painted layer below I select the clone stamp tool and also open the Clone Source panel (Window – Clone Source) In the options bar at the top of your screen make sure these are set as below : Next I select the bottom layer (the background image) in the layers panel by clicking on it Then I Alt click with the Clone Stamp tool anywhere on the image. That sets the source. Now – this is the trick. Before doing anything else, I go to the Clone Source panel and click in each the Offset boxes and type in 0 to both. I do this even though they will already say 0 when I hover over the panel with my mouse. This will lock the tool. What this does is locks the clone stamp tool so, as I move it around,  it paints in exactly the same place on the new layer as it picks up from on the background layer. I now switch , in the layers panel to my empty layer. I select a brush from the brush panel (not the brush tool) and start painting. This uses my background image as the source but applies it to the new layer as set with my selected brush (but all the time I am using the clone stamp tool which I clicked on at the start and remains on). I can change brushes from the brush panel (always using the clone stamp tool) and keep "painting". I hope that helps you towards your goal Dave ... View more

When you "transferred them to a white background" are they on a separate layer with transparency, are they on a separate layer with a mask or did you paste them into the white layer? Dave ... View more

Your steps: Open pic > option + cmd + R (Select and Mask) > W (Quick Selection Tool) > B (Brush Tool, to finish it off) > Output to: New Layer with Layer Mask (did not check Decontaminate Colors) > Add Mask To Selection > shift + cmd + I > select original pic next to mask > Filter > Blur Gallery > Tilt-Shift > crank blur to 100 px > no visible result. If by "next to mask" you mean on the same layer as the mask then you are blurring the part image that is masked. That step in bold should be : Select original layer in layer panel and turn on visibility or add a step at the end to turn off the layer mask Dave ... View more

Here are the steps I use 1. Use File -Scripts -Load Files Into Stack    When doing this tick both "Attempt to Automatically Align Source images" and "Create Smart object after Loading Layers" 2. Select the Smart object 3. Go to Layer - Smart Objects - Stack Mode - Median If there is a problem aligning the layers change the above to: 1. Use File -Scripts -Load Files Into Stack     Do not check "Attempt to Automatically Align Source  images" and "Create Smart object after Loading Layers" 2. Reduce the opacity of the layers and use move to align manually 3. increase opacity back to 100% 4. Create a Smart object from the layers (Layer -Smart Objects - Convert to Smart object) 5.  Select the Smart object 6. Go to Layer - Smart Objects - Stack Mode - Median Hope this helps Dave ...

Hi Barbara Thanks for replying. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work here. I am on Windows 10 and CC2015.5 and CS6 were the same. My default rulers (set via preferences) are in inches (also just tried setting to cm to check if changing made a diffrence). Whilst the small rich cursor box that appears whilst dragging the cursor is in inches, the dialogue box for the rectangle, which comes up when you click in the document still comes up in pixels first - no matter what the ruler preferences.
