I have an image of 2 birds. I wanted to move them closer together. I used the lasso tool to loosely select one bird. I used the content aware move tool (CAMT) to move it closer. I decided to use keyboard arrows to nudge it to the exact place I wanted it, and hit the checkmark to apply. Seemed fine. I was doing some further editing, when I zoomed in to see that the bird's beak was looking very messed up. I tried it again, and the same thing happened.When I used the CAMT without using the keyboard arrows, it was fine, but not in the precise location I wanted it. Can I not use the keyboard arrows with the CAMT? ... View more

I use the crop tool and double click, and it does not crop. Am I doing something wrong? I thought that was the way it worked before. I cannot find any other way to apply the crop. I know i can crop in PS, but I used to be able to crop in Camera Raw also. ... View more

I am trying to edit some photos from a recent photo shoot I did for a friend. I use layer masks a lot in my workflow. I was trying to to paint with white on a black layer mask. For a while, it was working great. Until I decided to press shift+alt to bring up a red overlay. Something broke after that. I have double and triple checked that I am painting on the later mask. First, the brusg behaved like I had the flow set to 1%. I had the flow set to 100%, the opacity to 100%, and the mode to normal. I had to paint over and over aghain before the black changed to white. Yes, I double and triple checked all my settings. When I screw up by leaving the opacity or flow way down, I notice quickly. It was not my mistake. Then I restarted PS. That problem corrrected. Then, I was painting on white on my layer mask. Instead it behaved like I was painting on the layer itself. It gave me a strip of pure white. Yes, I made damn sure I was painting on the layer mask, and not the layer. But wait! The plot thickens! The white that I was painting only showed up in selected areas. Meaning it showed up in certain areas, then when I painted in other areas, it did not show up. This weirdness did not correlate with the areas that the layer mask was blocking out. And yes, yes, yes, I made sure I was painting on the layer mask. And yes, I reset my prefs multiple times, and restarted my computer also. My layer masks continue to give me grief. My PS version is 22.43. I am on Windows 10. Thanks. Any help would be appreciated. ... View more

PS constantly freezes, moves slooooow, and then it crashes. And this is even sometimes before I have a chance to open an image. It usually crashes during camera raw, lately. I have tried to reset the prefs multiple times. It was running just fine before the update. I check task mananger, and my memory usage is at 97-98% without even yet opening an image, and photoshop is using pretty much all available memory. I am running windows 10 on a PC. 16 gigs of ram. Thanks. ... View more

I have PS set up to use my "D" drive as well as my "I" drive for scratch disks. My "D" drive is an internal, the "I" drive is external."D" drive is the primary scratch disk. It has about 1.5TB free space. My "C" drive has precious little space, it is a SSD, and I am trying to keep as much off of it as possible. Most of my programs are installed on the "D" drive. I have about only 7-8 gig free space on the "C" drive. The problem is PS appears to still be using my "C" drive as a scratch drive for some reason. When PS is open, I will get a message form my computer telling me to free up more disk space. I check my "C" drive, and I only will have like 150mb free. PS still is working ok for the most part when that happens. When I close PS, I get my space back on the "C" drive. I am on Windows 10, and PS 22.1.1.     {Thread title edited by moderator} ...

I have been in communication with Adobe tech support via chat for like 4 hours now trying to get the neutral filters to work! The "supervisor" had me update my windows, which took a long time. He was awesome. Told me to check back after I did that and reinstalled photoshop. I got another guy. He had never heard of the neural filters. Asked me where I got them??? Well, from Adobe, of course! He had no clue what he was doing. He said, "I will make your filters work." He was clicking around, no clue what he was doing. I am beyond frustrated that I cannot use the "cool new features" I am paying for. Really, Adobe? I did not have this trouble with the last major update. Please do not delete this message. I am a paying customer, and should not have to go thru this just to make the new Photoshop 22 work properly. ... View more
