So is it working now? If not, have you tried resetting Preferences?

Blimey. Yes it can. That's one heck of an app to have for free. You need an Adobe account, but don't need any sort of paid subscription.

5You have more options if you just need to view thge flatterned .psd rather than all of its layers. Gimp will open and edit a layered psd file, and is still free AFAIK
IrfanView. This software is free and not very complicated even for beginners. ...
GIMP. GIMP software is actually a heavyweight tool for viewing and editing Photoshop files. ...
Paint.NET. ...
Google Drive. ...
Artweaver. ...
XnView. ...
Photopea Online Editor.
What about Bridge. Can Bridge be installed and used without a paid subscription, so long as you have an Adobe account?

@Aleke Can I ask you a question? I think of reseting a tool or function as returning it to its defualt settings, so it will fix the tool or function if you have somehow stuffed up it's options and it's too hard to manually change them back to the defaults. I have assumed that resetting a tool or function will not fix it if it is actually broken in the same way that resetting Preferences does. I'd love to know how that actually works?

When you say 'Live' does this have happen to a line as you create it? I mean as opposed to an animation of a line appearing to be created, and at a given time, the start of the line would disappear? If you think about it, this would look like a length of cord was being pulled by the brush? It would be rather like a very long brush smoothing leash.
What sort of background would there be? If it was plain white, for instance, you could animate the line being drawn in black. Then copy the video layer and invert it (to white, and move it on the time line according to the required delay. The second layer would draw a white line over the back effectively making it appear to fade.
I think this is going to come down to the details of how it needs to work, and what you mean by live performance? You could always use magic.

Hi, I have my Adobe account and want to migrate all my Photoshop cloud files to another Adobe account. Is there a way to migrate all the files?
By @guilledasilva
If the forum's translation tool has interpreted your post correctly, you don't need to do anything other than connect to the internet and sign in to your Adobe account in the Creative Cloud desktop application. Your cloud files will be available anywhere in the world that has an Internet connection. If you are also asking about assets like brushes, custom workspaces and shortcuts etc. then you'll need to do this manually.

@Deven15D5 Sorery, I could have sworn I'd replied to this. I typed out a post and must have not clicked on Post. No one would think you nuts, and the development team appreciate the feed back. Glad it is sorted for you now.

It might help if you can show a screen shot of your entire workspace. Make it full res with the layer you are having the problem selected.

Ctrl clicking alpha channels is not going to produce suitable selection to use with Generative Fill. You need an area selection. I can have soft outline, but really needs to be of a single area. An alpa channel is likely to be more like a Luminosity mask covering the entire canvas with varying degrees of opacity.
Using Quick Mask to illustrate, you need something like this
Ctrl clicking the blue channel looks like this. The CTB did invite me to use Gen Fill, so I asked it to produce brush strokes and it made a mess!

People expect Photoshop to be simplistic, and while a more and more functions are offering a one click solution, being the most powerful image editor in the world means there will still be complexities, and choices. The Canvas/Selection option is a good example as I suspect most of Photoshop's 37 million users do not know it exists. I still discover fundermental Photoshop settings after using it nearly every day since version 4 (soon after it became available in a Windows flavour). Just a week ago Christoph out the Auto Select Parameter setting that makes the first field active in adjustments Properties so you can immediately use the cursor keys to adjust them. Long term users constantly look for half second savings in our workflow, because it adds up to hours over time.

Are these full layer backgrounds? If not then maybe merge with the original background, or select the generated content and background and make them a Smart Object. A good way to future proof them would be to drag to a Creative Cloud Libraries group. It makes then easy and convenient to find and use, and they live in your Adobe cloud storage, so can be retried anywhere in the world with Internet access. I sometimes think that CC Libraries are the great undiscovered secret.

How do you have Interpolation set in Preferences?
I'm interested why you use Nearest Neighbor? That total lack of anti aliasing leads to some nasty jaggies. Especially with shallow angles.

As well as what @c.pfaffenbichler has asked you, this thread is four years old and there have be as many major updates. It is unlikely that your issue is the same as the one in this thread. Plus, being an old thread, people are much less likely to open it. So, best to start a new thread with the information asked of you.

Photoshop has got amazinly good at this sort of problem recently. Use the Remove Tool and paint over the curtain cord
If you are happy with that, then leavew as it is.
If you want to recreate the chord then select the Brush tool, with a small round, fully hard, preset, and adjust the spacing in Brush Settings (F5)
Create a new layer, and stamp the brush at the top of the chord position.
Then hold down the Shift key and stamp down at the other end of the chord.
I used a dark grey, and reduced the layer opacity a tiny bit to make it look more real. You can use any colour you like.
If the spacing is wrong, undo it (Ctrl Z) readjust spacing and try again.

Its called Free Transform Step & Repeat. It has always been a bit flakey IME and I use it quite a lot. It is not good with Smart Objects, for instance. I have just tested in the Release version and it worked fine with Smart Objects. If you try with Shape layers, it copies, but adds it to the same layer. If you make the shape layer a smart object, it then works as it should.
If it is not working for you, I would try using the Essentials workspace if not allready doing so, and resetting that workspace. If still not working, then I am afraid it probably means resetting Preferences.
Before you take that step, are you sure your workflow is OK?
Create a layer with content that does not fill it.
Copy the layer (Ctrl J)
Free Transform the copy and resizing, moving, changing its angle.
Then Shift Ctrl Alt T as many times as you need
It's a good way of creating layers for frame animations using Layers to Frames.
