Most of the Sketch filters in the Filter Gallery use the Foreground and Background colors to produce their effect. Try swapping the colors, and then running the filter.

Using the old school Select All, Edit > Stroke is working as it always has for me:

Photoshop already does this. Compare these two images of buildings with a square grid pattern overlaid on them; one uncorrected, and one with the verticals straightened up (using Free Transform; note the change in the grid):

Try going to the main Adobe website, and click on the icon in the upper right corner, to access your account. From the choices at the top of your account page, select Plans and Payment. From there, select Activated Devices, and see if you can do it from there.

Click on the area to the left of the filter to make it visible:

If you wanted only that one color, with no shading or tonality, a Color Fill layer would work. It would look cartoony, though.

Can you click on one of the buttons not in the popup?

What's wrong with Bulge with a negativew Bend value?

I did this last year. Checking the folder I'd copied to my desktop, I see I saved Patterns, Gradients, Custom Shapes, and Workspaces. It went smoothly, although I have occasionally had to boot up my barely running old computer to copy some .PSPs for Curves and some other things I'd missed. I can still do this after deactivating Photoshop on my old computer, and disconnecting it from the Internet. Photoshop still runs, as do some older versions I stil have. I do no production with these, but sometimes will check how things used to work.

In trying this on an image similar to yours, I noticed the Color Range selection had lots of detail in the mask. When the image is blurred, the effect only shows through the sharp mask. Blurring the mask made it too dark, so I ran Image > Adjustments > Levels on it afterwards to clean it up.

In the Option bar for the Gradient, be sure that the drop-down at the left side is set to Gradient, not Classic Gradient.

In the CC desktop app, in the "All Apps: section, scroll down near the bottom, in the "Apps to Try" area..

Click on the X in the upper right corner to close it. You can open it back up by clicking on the "What's New" icon in the lower left.

Could you post a screen shot of your Layers panel?

Is the Path still visible in the Paths panel?

Semaphoric · ‎Sep 14, 2024

In v25, the histogram for Levels and Curves fixed at 255 pixels wide; see https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/inaccurate-histogram-in-properties-panel-levels-and-curves-photoshop-2024/m-p/14676004#M815645 This annoyance works the other way, too, if you make the Properties panel too narrow.

When you have the panels the way you want, Window > Workspace > New Workspace will save their configuration.

Could you post a screen shot of your Layers panel?

The controls only stay there for Gradient Fill layers; masks use "Classic" gradients. To do what you want, put a Gradient Fill layer below the blurred layer, using Foreground to Transparent, with the Reverse box checked. Hold down the Option key and position the cursor between the Gradient and Blurred layers; you should see the cursor change to a small box and a bent arrow. Click to create a Clipping Mask. The blurred layer will now use the Gradient as a mask and the Gradient maintains the editing controls.

When you run the Filter Gallery, it will start with the last used filter(s). Most of the filters in the Sketch group, except for Chrome and Water Paper, use the current foreground and background colors. If you don't want that, change the filter from the list, rather than adding another one.

Semaphoric · ‎Sep 09, 2024

Right. One way would be to use the Free Form Path tool, with the Magnetic option selected.

Semaphoric · ‎Sep 09, 2024

Select a Path, and Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color.

Semaphoric · ‎Sep 07, 2024

Are you trying to make a vector clipping path, or do you want selections?

Semaphoric · ‎Sep 06, 2024

Are the lost brushes the ones that came with Photoshop, or ones that you had added?

Turning Global Light off allows the shadows of different layers to go in different directions:

Using 16 LPI and 150 PPI gives less than a 10x10 pixel halftone dot. If you increase the PPI to something like 1200, the dots will be 75x75 pixels, which will look a lot smoother. Regarding a more consistent look — will it be necessary to have all the images with the same screen frequency?

Semaphoric · ‎Aug 30, 2024

Explain what you mean by "stuck in a huge size". Does it take up too much of the screen, or does it need to be scaled down?

Semaphoric · ‎Aug 28, 2024

What is the source of the vector Smart Objects? And is the program that created them on the same computer as Photoshop?

Semaphoric · ‎Aug 27, 2024

One way to do this is make sure the body of the serpent is centered in a square document. A few concentric circular paths can serve as guides. Run Fiter > Distort > Polar Coordinates with Polar to rectangular. Use Image Size to expand the width by 314% (the value of pi).

Semaphoric · ‎Aug 26, 2024

Take a look at Flaming Pear Software's Flexify 2, which is designed to do this sort of thing.
