Google translate:  Hello, I suddenly have a problem with Photoshop cc 2017.1.6. under Windows 11. Everything worked fine until now and suddenly it is no longer possible to save or export a jpeg file as a jpeg file in another directory/partition. No updates, including those from other programs, were installed   Reply:  Whenever you see new unexpected behavior, the most likely solution is going to be resetting the application preferences. See: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset-preferences If that doesn't work and you are able to save to other locations successfully, you may need to check the directory/partition that you are attempting to save to. There may be some permission, formatting, or communication issues which prevent Photoshop from working with that location.  ... View more

The default storage location for 3DLUTs is in the Photoshop application folder:  C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop [VERSION]\Presets\3DLUTs This is not a preference folder, so it does not transfer over to newer versions of Photoshop when you choose to copy settings. You'd have to manually copy yours over to new versions after installation.   The default directory for Abstract and Device Link profiles is another location:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Color Profiles This location is universal to all versions of Photoshop. However, on Windows, Photoshop doesn't prepopulate these profiles into the drop-down menu as it does on Mac.    ... View more

I'm not suggesting creating a LUT per layer. You can create preset Adjustment layers with whatever settings you want. This includes choosing Color Lookup and selecting a sepecific LUT. You then save this as a preset and you will have a thumbnail for that preset in your Adjustments panel. Then you simply hover your mouse cursor over that thumbnail and it will preview what the LUT does to your document without having to apply it. If you build one preset for each LUT, they are available "forever" (you can remove them, but they will remain until then). You can use them with any file, you just have to create them once. I haven't watched the whole video but this looks like one that demonstrates what I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze2o-BnQj64  ... View more

Google translate:  Hello, I've been looking for a way to scroll through the effects of the LUTs instantly, on my color matching layer, but nothing works: each time I have to activate the LUTs to see it, so that I would like it to work like the slap merge options. How to do it? I use Photoshop 2024 on macos ventura 13.7.2   Reply: While you have the drop-down list of LUT's selected, you should be able to scroll through them with either the mouse wheel, the Up and Down Arrow keys, or with a trackpad (though I found this to be less reliable). If you are trying to see an instant preview by mousing over the option in the drop-down (like how Blend Modes works), this is not something which is currently possible. However, you can create Adjustments Presets for each of the LUT's you might normally use (or all of them) and you can mouse over these presets in the Adjustments panel to preview each available option.

Based on the description, my first guess is Photoshop is struggling with your video card. Try turning off the GPU by going to Edit > Preferences > Performance and unchecking "Use Graphics Processor". Then reopen your file and try crop again. If this works, try updating your video card driver and re-enabling the GPU in Photoshop.   Also, try simply resetting the Crop tool: click the Crop tool icon in the tool options bar, in the preset drop-down click the Gear icon, select Reset Tool.   If neither of these work, try resetting the application preferences.

Good catch and thanks for the details. Since the integrated chipset relies on shared system resources to operate, having this extra instance to power a virtual display for the Meta Quest will use up more memory and processing. It makes sense then that the performance would be slowed down.    Unfortunately, there isn't a setting in Photoshop that can be used to ignore or prioritize certain display devices. Nor do I know of a way in the OS to force a particular application to ignore displays. I'd say to make sure the drivers are up to date, but I can't find any thing about them online (using the update drivers from Device Manager is unreliable because it gets the drivers based on information from Microsoft, not from the device manufacturer, so you rarely get anything that is actually up to date). I wonder if there is a way to configure the virtual display to use your actual video card rather than the chipset. ... View more

I've taken a look at the files, but don't see any strange behaviors on my end. But without the source video and audio files, I'm not going to run into the same problems you see.   The only thing that stands out for me is the file which doesn't work is about 5mb smaller than the one that does. They seem to be basically the same file, so it suggests something is missing. That is, the root of the issue may be an incomplete save in the old version which prevents the newer version from reading it completely. I'm not sure why the old version would be able to continue reading it though. I would suspect that it may have something to do with whether or not Maximize Compatibility was enabled. Not having it on shouldn't cause this kind of behavior, but it could help explain the size difference and the different behaviors between versions.  ... View more

While harmless, it is certainly disconcerting. There isn't a setting in Photoshop that lets you do this on purpose. Most likely there is some issue with rendering this part of the UI.

I don't have a Meta Quest to test anything, but my assumption is that Photoshop sees it as some sort of input and/or output device like a scanner or printer. It is likely trying to communicate with it in some way. Can you provide the System Info report from Photoshop's Help menu? Maybe the Meta Quest will appear in there and give us a clue as to what they may be doing together.  ... View more

Photoshop, or any other application for that matter, has no control over File Type Associations. This is fully managed by the OS (Windows, Mac, etc). Since you are on Windows, the behavior you are seeing likely has its roots in the Registry (which is where these settings get stored). This can include new keys not being written correctly (or at all) or old keys not being removed or updated correctly. While the installation process should automatically update the Registry, many different things can interfere with this.   One of the most common is uninstalling an older version after installing the new version. While the install process created the correct keys, the uninstall process then removed them.   Additionally, things like anti-virus can block changes to the registry for any number of reasons, such as false-positives if your definitions are not fully up to date.   In most cases, a simply uninstall and reinstall of the application in question will fix things.  ...

When trying to decided whether to use Photoshop or After Effects, the main question is are you creating an animation/video or just a still image? If still, then Photoshop. The effect that you are seeing would be the result of a blur. There are several different types of blurs available under the Filters menu in Photoshop. A couple will create this type of effect.   The first is Radial Blur. You'll want to duplicate your text layer (or whatever conent you are working with) so that you have an unblurred copy on top to keep things solid. Then for the layer underneath, apply radial blur with a Method of Zoom and the Amount set to whatever creates the distance you are looking for. Unfortuantely, this is a really old piece of Photoshop, so you can't get a live preview of you settings, it will take some trial and error. I've found that the copy layer with the blur applied should also be moved and scaled down to really match the appearance in Star Trek.    The second option is Path Blur in the Blur Gallery. The Gallery blurs are the more modern ones with better controls, live preview, etc. The Speed setting is the same as Amount from Radial blur, adjust this to create the distance you are looking for. Also, turn off the Centered Blur option so that you don't have to move the layer to line things up. You'll want to create additional paths to make the tapered effect.    While Motion Blur seems like it would make sense, it creates a linear blur, so you don't get the tapered effect that creates prespective.   There is additional information available at the following links:  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/blur-gallery.html#path-blur https://www.adobe.com/learn/photoshop/web/add-motion-blur-effects?locale=en&learnIn=1 ...
