Yes, I forgot that the images are black and white, not black and transparent. My bad. Using the Blend If helped a little bit, but the image was not 100% just black and white, it had some grays as well, so I would lose those if I used for example the threshold adjustment layer and then the Blend If to make sure all white was gone. But the trick to use Blend If and then Merge Visible is a good one. Will save that tip. Thanks!   And yes, changing the blend more to Screen did the trick. ... View more

Yes, I forgot that the pasted images had a white background. My bad.   Changing to Screen works like a charm. Thanks Can you explain that Channel Mixer Layer process? I've never used it and I don't know what that is and how that could benefit that process.   If this is to make the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black look as accurate as possible, that's not really an issue, because what I'm trying to achieve is actually something where I can use different colors for each channel for different effects.   But if you can explain the Channel Mixer process in this scenario, that would be great! 🙂   ...

That script you shared is insane! I get anxiety just looking at it... haha Just saved it and will test it once I get some time to create different scenarios with missing files. Thanks for sharing! ... View more

I think the user could have the option to set links to absolute (for example if they have a folder with certain assets, like a library) or set it to relative (when you are working on a project with lots of linked PSD files that need to be together, because maybe you work with other people and need to share that project with them?).   Then even if the type of link is wrong and the file can't be found, Photoshop could show a window where it would be easy to find the file(s). For example I work with Logic Pro to make music and when a file is missing, it shows me which file and gives me a few locations where files with the same name are present and then I pick one. Or I can then pick one manually, but the process is pretty simple and effective either way.   https://discussions.apple.com/content/attachment/734928040 ... View more

Thank you again for your time and help! This last code isn't as valuable to me as the other ones, because when I'm using this feature, it's more of a way for me to know the ratio of a particular section, not to really crop it. If I had the ability to press a button and make it automatically create the preset, that would be an improvement, but cropping it right away is not the intention... I know that on my request I wrongfully mentioned the Apply Crop button, but now looking back, it doesn't make sense that I mentioned that (at least not for my original intention for this feature). Maybe other users will find it useful though, knowing the ratio before cropping something? 🙂   Anyway, when I tried it, I got an error, after it was able to crop it successfully:   Again, thanks for your help. I totally understand that something as complex as this would require a lot of extra work and to me, the first 2 scripts are already a HUGE help, because I was struggling with this on a regular basis and this will save me a lot of time, so THANKS!   ...

Yes, that's what I thought. A script would probably be the best option. It would be great if Photoshop had that implemented with a right click over a selection. Anyway, Stephen came to the rescue and shared some valuable scripts 🙂 Thanks for tagging those people on your reply! ... View more

Amazing @Stephen Marsh ! Thank you so much for those scripts. I just saved both of them 🙂   I have a few questions: 1 - Since this section below is just a comment, I can go ahead and just delete it, right?   /* var selectionLeft = selectionBounds[0].value; var selectionTop = selectionBounds[1].value; var selectionRight = selectionBounds[2].value; var selectionBottom = selectionBounds[3].value; var selectionXCenter = (selectionBounds[0].value + selectionWidth) / 2; var selectionYCenter = (selectionBounds[1].value + selectionHeight) / 2; */     2 - From what I saw, the scripts are only showing the information about the ratios available, correct? It's not supposed to perform any action once we hit the OK button, right?   3 - An improvement to the scripts (if that's not much work and you see it as an improvement, of course) would be to have 3 buttons instead of just the OK button. So: - The OK button would become a Close button instead - One button could be something like Apply Crop. This would activate the Crop Tool and automatically add that ratio to the W and H fields so the user could automatically see what the numbers are and apply the crop right away - One button like New Crop Preset. This would activate the Crop Tool, add the numbers to the W and H fields, then would automatically select the New Crop Preset... option from the menu. Then the user would be able to just type a custom name and hit Ok.   Anyway, these scripts alone are already a great help, so I truly appreciate you sharing them and spending the time adapting the original one to my request 🙂 If you believe adding those extra functions would be a good improvement, let me know.   Thanks again for your precious contribution!!! ...

For example, let's say I just created my official website using WordPress and installed a particular theme. Each theme has different sizes when it comes to post thumbnails/featured images. So if I'm creating new posts on a regular basis and I use stock images, for example, I want to be able to create a crop preset so I can always crop those images to fit the ratio of my Wordpress theme.   So I would just take a screenshot of my website's front page with all the post thumbnails, and then paste it into Photoshop, create a selection around one of the thumbnails and create the crop preset.   Hope it makes sense... ...

Thanks again for the quick and helpful reply. I was able to find the folder with all the assets (dcx folder) My goal is to just have access to them, should the app fail to load them, so I can copy them to another location when necessary (not moving or altering any of the files inside).   The link you sent me is not useful for me, because I'm only facing that issue with the Creative Cloud app, not Photoshop. The issue is that I can't export any library item directly from Photoshop's Creative Cloud panel (which maybe you could add in a future update, so users could still use the assets without going deep into the Library folder).   Anyway, your answer helped me find that folder, just in case... Appreciate your time and help! 🙂 ... View more

Hi @Tarun Saini    Thank you for your reply. I just did what you suggested (reset). When I face that problem, there are no error messages. It just doesn't load the libraries and the panel remains empty. Sometimes restarting fixes it, sometimes it doesn't. Here are the screenshots:   So my question still remains: Is it possible to use CC offline? If so, then I assume the libraries are somehow saved somewhere on my computer? Any tip on how to access them, should the Creative Cloud app doesn't show them?   Thank you   ... View more

@Mark C. Dahm  I don't have any external monitors. It's a laptop and I only use the built in screen. I checked the option you mentioned. That doesn't put the extra options inside the Technology Previews, if that's what you meant by "does that clean it up"... If you meant "does the problem go away?", then I will have to wait until it happens (or doesn't happen). Give me a few more days and if the issue comes back, I will let you know 😉   Again, thank you so much for the quick and helpful replies! Fingers crossed now... ... View more

Maybe that's the issue (old version). I'm in the middle of some important projects and updating applications in that situation is always a problem for me so I will have to wait until I'm done with those. I had issues with several applications when updating and so I try to avoid updating unless I'm not "at risk" 😉   I will do it as soon as I'm done. Really appreciate your time and help! ... View more

Sometimes when I leave PS open for a while, when I go back and open a new document, for example, it doesn't update the window. What I mean is that the new document seems to open, because I see the layers, but the document itself doesn't load. Or if I had for example 4 documents opened, when I close 1, instead of showing me the next document, it keeps the 1st window.   For example look how I just created a new document, I can see the layers, but the window is not visible (and no, this is not a problem with the window being closed or anything, it's really a bug that goes away once I restart PS):   Anyone knows what this is and how to fix it, without restarting? Sometimes I have unsaved documents and because I can't see them, when it asks me if I want to save (when I try to close PS to fix the bug), I don't know if it's safe to save or not, because I have no idea what changes I made... ...

Sorry, my reply probably wasn't clear enough. My confusion with your reply, was more about the sentence itself that seemed confusing. Maybe you mistyped something, maybe forgot to add some punctuation, etc? It's just the sentence that seems to not make sense when I read it. I will check the video anyway. Thanks again 🙂 ...

@TheDigitalDog  Sorry... your reply seems a bit confusing. Can you clarify what you mean? Thank you ... View more

@TheDigitalDog  Thans for the link. I will watch it when I have some free time, as I noticed is 40m long so I need to really focus on that. Meanwhile I believe I understand what Gamut, Color Spaces, sRGB, Adobe RGB is. Since my work is primarily web or printing that doesn't require any special treatment, I will stick to sRGB. I think I found how to set it up as the default (using the File > New... > Advanced section, I was able to change it to sRGB and it seems that it stays as the default). Can you confirm that this is the best way to do it to set it as the default? Again, thanks for the link and will watch it soon, for sure! ... View more
