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

If you select your artboard in the layers panel - are you able to change it to transparent in the properties panel? If not what do you see in those options. Dave

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

Just one more thought to try before I have to leave it to someone else. The old legacy "New File" dialogue is still available in cc2017. You need to set it in Preferences - General . Have you tried it to see if that dialogue picks up your doc sizes? Dave

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

Sorry I can't help with your text file, but if you have these working in CC2015 then the thread below from JJMack may help New Documents in CC 2017 Dave

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

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

Have you tried enabling lens profile corrections - before hitting auto I see a big difference here (better) with wide angle lenses if I do that Dave

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

I raised this a couple of days ago and it was resolved - unfortunately today it has re-occurred. In the Photoshop forum - Sort by latest activity is not showing latest posts. Sort by date created appears to work correctly Dave

Love the look and the ergonomics but would I buy one - no. What I love about desktop PCs is the expandability - the ability to add drives/memory , change the graphics card as things develop. This is more like a laptop - albeit a great one Now if they sold the screen and a card to drive it........................... Dave

A couple of things Trevor didn't mention (although he does them excellently !) You can bring out facial features (eyes mouth etc) naturally by duplicating the layer and setting the uppermost to multiply. Then use a mask to lightly reveal the features. When brushing try not to exceed the resolution of the image - it can look unnatural to see every detail on the re-touch but have them blurred on the rest. The mixer brush is good for softening hair which you have drawn with a small round brush. Use noise to help blend. To do this duplicate the final image and add a fair bit of noise. By using a mask you can introduce the noise into the retouched areas which make them look more natural. Don't overdo the retouch - keep it natural as possible. Here is a brief effort : Dave

Not a solution but, for anyone using dual/triple monitors, don't forget you don't have to have the taskbar on the main screen. I put the taskbar on the left, Photoshop in the middle and palettes on the right. Like I said, not a solution for all, but may help some Dave

Don't forget, with the magic wand, you can Shift-Click to add and Alt-Click to take away. At any time you can switch to Quick Mask Mode and use a brush to amend any tricky areas (or if on the latest version you can jump into Select and Mask) Dave
