Answer to your initial question is - a lot. I have 64GB of RAM of which I allow Photoshop to use 42GB ( I also use blender at the same time so do not give Photoshop the lot). I upscaled a photograph image to the size you mention (single layer - 8 bit - 200000 x 100000 pixels  55.9GB document size) and saved it as a PSB file (10.6GB file size on disk)  to a normal (non SSD) spinning disk. On a freshly started Photoshop, it took 4 mins and 58 secs to load and be ready to use and the efficiency when open is 45% i.e. it is still going to be back and forth to the scratch disk. If you add layers it will get worse. Dave ... View more

Do you mean to slice up an image for HTML? If so use the slice tool - you will find it on the tool bar as one of the options if you click and hold down the crop tool Once sliced right click on the little square at the corner of each slice and choose Edit Slice Options. You can rename the slice and enter URL there. When finished you can use Save for Web - and in the options after pressing save, set the save format to HTML and images Dave ... View more

Hi Steve You can do some colour correction with Levels (which makes far more sense in the linear space than it does in the gamma corrected spaces) and Hue and Saturation is still available. However , you are right in that not all 16 bit tools are available.  I would suggest you  submit a feature request to the forum below, saying which tools you would like to see in 32 bit (or even a new tool if you would like to see it developed separately). It is more likely to be seen by Adobe staff there. Photoshop Family Customer Community Dave ... View more

Your camera will show "blinkies" and a histogram based on an internal conversion to an 8 bit jpeg preview using a preset in the camera. That does not mean that the pixels in the individual channels are blown totally and camera raw/lightroom will show it's histogram and clipping warnings based on the camera raw settings acting on the full (12 or 14 bit raw data). Use the exposure and White s slider to turn them completely white if you want them to clip Dave ... View more

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.

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

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
