What am I doing wrong, here? When using Shape, no matter what colour I select, the result is black.

Not using a graphic tablet. PC is up-to-date. After updating PS, this afternoon, things are a bit better, so I will live with it for now, rather than wasting time on it. Windows 10 updated itself yesterday and I have a suspicion that it may have caused the problem. If things improve with the next Win update, I will post a message.

Thank you for the suggestions, Sahil, but... I have deselected "Use Graphics Processor". I have reset Preferences. I can now open a photo, but the circle remains in the background, reappearing immediately when the picture file is closed, but while PS is still open. The Tool Bar also disappears when a picture file (just the file, not PS) is closed. As a last-ditch effort, I am downloading all updates - up to 13%. Will post results.

There is a continually turning blue circle in the Photoshop workspace. I have set my preferences in Creative Cloud not to update automatically -- I have a slow connection & will update when convenient. I have closed & opened the program. I have changed my password & logged back in. PS shows that I am signed on. Nothing changes. What is going on?

Thank you. I created a couple of folders with a grab bag of JPEGs, some of differing Modes, then created and ran the Action that you suggested. I then ran a second Action on the results of the first, with the Adjustments I wanted. Everything ran perfectly.

Batch runs smoothly for me, now, but every once in a while, a dialogue box with JPEG Options will open in the middle of an Automate | Batch | MyActionName run, asking how I want a .jpg file saved, but processes all the other .jpg images in my source folder and saves them to my target folder, automatically. In my test set, there are several JPEGs. They are a random grab -- some mine, some not. Opening the problematic image in PS, then saving it -- same name & extension -- eliminates the pop-up on a re-run, but in the run of a hundred pictures, I would have to sit and watch the screen. Why does PS twice react differently to the same file & extension? All extensions in the source folder are lower case -- .jpg. When I tried this on some of my old photos, the same dialogue box popped up for each & every one, before I stopped the process. Instead of checking the file properties of each of the photos, to check the Mode (I assumed this might be the problem), I used Image Processor to convert all from .jpg format to, again, .jpg format, but sRGB colour, which resulted in a perfect run. My question is are there other commonalities/requirements in file format that must be met for Batch processing? Is there a way to override this and have an Action always save .JPEGs (or any other format) in the same way?

Image Processor is a batch operation to run actions - it's not intended to be part of an action. I should have done a search for this, instead of wasting my time, this morning, doing just that. Thanks.

Thank you -- that worked perfectly. Now there is another problem. I disabled JPEG & TIFF support in Camera Raw Preferences, and while Droplet now works perfectly, I cannot open a JPEG in Camera Raw by choice; For non-RAW photos, Open In Camera Raw is no longer an option in the drop-down menu that appears when right-clicking a photo in Bridge. The work-around that I have found for other file formats is to open a RAW image, change Camera Raw Preferences, close the RAW image, then open a JPEG, etc., then change Preferences, back to what they were.

Since upgrading Photoshop and Bridge (which may not be the issue) I have had problems with Droplet. No matter what the file format of the source is, the first photo opens in Camera Raw, and the action stops at that point. When I run an Action separately, it works correctly; the same Action contained in a Droplet does not. I have the same problem with Droplets created before the upgrade. I am working with JPEGs.

Thanks for the Bridge suggestion. However the Tools > Photoshop > Contact Sheet II gave me the same result -- a number of transparent layers that collapse to a blank, white layer. I have successfully tried every other choice in the Tools | Photoshop menu -- only the Contact Sheet II is problematic. Another option from Bridge is using the Output Module in Adobe Bridge, In Bridge 2017, I have no Output Module. There is either something wrong with PS and Bridge, considering that I get the same result with both, or I am missing something.

I need help with something that I have not found in the forum. The instructions for making a contact sheet are quite clear, but I end up with nothing but a blank frame on screen, no matter which options I choose. I have placed copies of all the photos in one folder, making sure that it contains nothing else, like thumbs.db, etc. After File | Automate | Contact Sheet | OK, the Layers Panel shows the names of all the photos as being loaded, but the icons all show as transparent layers, while the resulting Contact Sheet II in the Work Area, is blank/white.
I tried saving this as a .psd & reopening -- still blank. PS 19.1.5. Windows 10.

That's a good idea and I will get the new brushes for PS. For the moment, though, I am trying to follow a course outline, which doesn't allow for making things easy.

I originally used Transform and stretched the image--I hadn't found Scale, yet. Here, I used Transform | Scale on a very small portion of the image, then used Levels a second time to take out more grey. The look is more like the tutorial but still looks a bit too wispy to look realistic. I did try using Render | Clouds, instead of Difference Clouds, first, but did not come close to what looked like lightning. Is there another way?

I have tried to create lightning with Difference Cloud, which works perfectly on a 500px W photo, but on a large image I cannot get it to work. On a photo of five or six MB, this creates too many lines to use and when I try to zoom in on a small section that looks like it would do, then enlarge it, it becomes far too pixelated. Can I get around the problem? I was following this: https://photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/lightning/lightning.htm Make a new Layer Add a black to white gradient Difference cloud Invert the cloud Raise the black point with levels Change Blend Mode to Screen Paint out what you don’t want from the cloud layer

Re FiIter | Pixelate | Screen Angles Radius is clear, but I do not understand the function of the Degree/Channel settings in the Color Halftone dialogue box. When altering these numbers, I see no change other than a slight difference in color intensity.

Thank you, all. Still trying to get a handle on this, but it's getting better. Just when you grasp one new thing and think you really know PS, you discover that there are hundreds more to come.

Yes, the keyboard shortcuts are correctly displayed in the menu, in both views, but do not work when I type them. I also get the beep when increasing/decreasing brush size in the mask view, with the left & right square brackets, but not in regular view.

After making a selection in Photoshop & choosing Select & Mask, then attempting to undo changes that I have made, Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Alt-Z do not work, producing an annoying beep, however, both Edit, Undo and Edit, Step Backward/Forward do work. Beep When Done is unchecked, in Preferences. This happens only when creating a mask. Can I change this?

I am trying to understand the use of Channels. How is masking a color in Channels different from reducing the same color, using Color Balance in an Adjustment Layer?

I have been trying to reproduce the problem this evening, but it has corrected itself, since shutting down a few hours ago. However, your suggestion that I might have had the Index mode selected makes sense, because I did receive a warning about a mismatch, this morning, which I ignored, since there was no problem with my picture visually. Obviously, I was wrong. Thank you for helping me understand why. I will do some reading to find out why I should care about color mode, other than mismatches.

Decontaminate Colors is not available to me -- it is constantly greyed out. I have tried all output choices: Selection, Layer Mask, New Layer, New Layer With Mask, New Document, New Document With Layer Mask. I have been using PS (19.1.5) for a year & this is the first time this has happened. OS: Windows 10 I am working on a copy of my Background, not my original. I experimented with different photos--same problem. I have searched the forum for answers. Photoshop is signed in. Suggestions?

I was watching an Adobe tutorial for Lightroom-- which I do not have--in which adjustments were made to the first of multiple images, then applied to all of the remaining images, in one go. Can this be done in Photoshop? While I did watch Apply corrections to a set of photos https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/how-to/edit-multiple-photos.html, I am wondering if there is a way to do this with a hundred, or more, photos taken for star trails (not video), without having to transfer settings, one by one. I have discovered Previous Conversion, in Camera Raw, which lets me do this by opening the photos. This is great, but not when there is a huge number of photos. Is there a faster way?
