Hello. I would have directed the user to the same "Filter Gallery > Stylize > Glowing Edges" - except that in Photoshop 2025, the "Glowing Edges" is not visible (to me).    Is anyone aware of how to get it back? I know it's possible that Adobe simply got rid of it. I used to use that Filter a lot!   😞 ... View more

It looks to me that a Shape made with the Shape tool is a "Live Shape", and shows a bounding box if the Shape or Path Selection tools are selected, but not the Direct Selection tool. Paths and Shapes made with the Pen, and converting Text to Shape, do not. If you drag one of the nodes with the Direct Selection tool, a popup says "This operation will turn a Live Shape into a regular Path. Continue?" The bounding box will go away, but the Shape has been altered. I don't know any easy way to convert to a regular Path without altering the Shape. ... View more

…I found that because my layer was an image and not a pixel layer, I couldn’t use the "Select Sampled Colour" option…I can’t find the "Flood Selection" tool? By @Elise_Murray7609   Can you clarify whether you are using Adobe Photoshop or Affinity Photo?   The reason I ask is because three terms you used — pixel layer, Select Sampled Colour, and Flood Selection tool — are features in Affinity Photo, but this thread is the Adobe Photoshop community.   In Photoshop, those features have different names. The Flood Selection tool in Affinity Photo is similar to the Magic Wand tool in Photoshop, and the Select Sampled Colour option in Affinity Photo is similar to the Select Color Range command in Photoshop. ...

I don't think I've ever needed a blank document the size of the clipboard. I very frequently want the clipboard to open in Photoshop. Why should I enter a keystroke to avoid something I never want?   @Semaphoric    I was specifically replying to the comment regarding GIMP having a "New Layer from Clipboard" when Photoshop doesn't. This is an extension of the OT where it was about a new document from the clipboard.   Creating a new layer from the clipboard is as simple as a single paste command, so is this just semantics? Do we really need a new, separate menu item to paste clipboard content as a new layer when we can just paste the clipboard content using an existing single command?   Creating a new document from the clipboard takes multiple steps, which makes more sense for a new command, outside of DIY actions/scripts which can be triggered using a single command. ...

Slightly different issue and alternate solution...   I have had a similar issue with the canvas *apparently* not extending equally on all sides. I can't reliably reproduce the issue, but it most frequently occurs when I have extended the original image using generative fill and somehow cropped. (There is one image that exibited the issue without having been extended.)   I say "apparently", because when I enlarge the canvas, I discovered that Photoshop is somehow retaining the precropped data and filling that in when I expand the canvas. This goes unnoticed when there is little significant detail in the filled in data.    The solution is to crop the image (at the full size of the image as loaded) before resizing with the Canvas Size. The example below is of an image expanded using generative fill and then cropped (at an earlier time). I opened the image (2400x1513 pixels) and then created the red blocks at the 4 corners. I added a background layer, then increased the canvas size by 440 pixels in height and width with the anchor point at the center. I made the background blue for contrast. The resultant image shows where the "hidden" image was displayed. (Ideally, in this case, I would want the blue border to start at the outside of the red blocks.) ... View more

The functionality is already old, so I suppose it may be part of the Photoshop-code itself or be a plugin, the internal workings of which we have no access to.  And while I suspect it makes the determination of the relevant snippets’ positions and angles in a clever way, it could employ an outdated approach by today’s standards.    I would recommend that you post a Featuer Request (mark it »Idea« instead of »Discussion«).  That would be bound to register at Adobe (even if you should get no feedback).  But please try to explain (and accompany with sketches/mock-ups) what you would actually want to get – a dialog/Panel with customizable settings for padding of the isolated elements, just one menu item that rotates an image (if so what should it do if more than one »clip-worthy« element is identfied in the image), …?  ...

It's only an idea. Check if your GPU support is enabled and if you have installed the recent version of the graphic device driver. If you have installed a NVidia card make sure the you have installed the Studio version of the driver and not the Game Ready version.   You can alos try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps described here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset-preferences It's recommended to backup your settings before resetting the preferences.

@patricktheart  If you lose your preferences in minor dot updates, something's wrong, like not having full administrator privileges in your user account.   With a major whole-number version update, preferences do not carry over, they never have. There is an option to migrate preferences, but I don't recommend it because of the high risk of accumulated errors carrying over as well.   As for actions, brushes, anything that can be saved out - save out and keep it in a safe place. Then it can always be easily reloaded. ... View more

Appreciated for your help, is this a screen recording ? If yes, would you share the video with me ? By @Calvin21914323wi10   There isn’t any more to the original video, it was done in one take and not edited, just converted to GIF. If you want to be able to stop it and play back specific sections, or look at it frame by frame, you can use your web browser to download the GIF animation from this page and load it into any app that can play back a GIF animation.   For example, you can drop an animated GIF into Photoshop, and if you open the Timeline panel (Window > Timeline), it will provide playback controls. ...
