Hi! What resolution did you build the image? And I agree with Chris's post above that flattening the image before saving to go to print is a really good idea. Did you try his suggestion and how did it work? What format are you saving it to go to print? Michelle ... View more

If you really want to use AI and not a stock photo (which I would agree with both of the summations above--I would look for stock too!) then you need to be very specific in your text to image description. The more detail you give it, the better fitting  image you will get. There are a few websites you can google to get some good descriptions to use. Michelle ... View more

Hi! Along with Myra's great idea, you can also use a channel selection. If you open up your Channels panel and look at the individual channels, look for the channel that has the most information (I think it would be probably be the blue channel) and duplicate that channell. This will turn it into an Alpha Channel. Then select that duplicated channel and use the Curves Dialog to deepen the contrast of the image. You can also paint with black over everything you don't want to be part of the selection. Once you have isolated the stars that you want and everything else is black, you can go back to your Layers Panel and use Select>Load Selection to load the channel you just worked on, and it will select only the stars you want. Having a Alpha channel is a handy process especially if you need to make adjustment in the future. Michelle ... View more

Hi! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Thank you for the feedback--how did resetting the tool go?   I was reading through some different posts and found that this is not a new issue. It has happened with previous versions of Photoshop. If resetting the Selection tool didn't fix it, I found one post that suggested resetting your preferences:   The Digital Dog wrote: Try resetting your Photoshop preferences. Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (macOS) immediately after launching Photoshop. You will be prompted to delete the current settings.   I would recommend doing it manually and following the instructions in this help page: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html   Let us know if that worked?

Is there any way you can find out what version he is workin giwith? There are so many different versions, and computer set ups that it could work on one version and then not work on the next.  I am wondering if your graphics processor card might be an issue. Have you tried turning off your GPU and seeing if that fixes the issue?    Here is a link that might be of help: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cc-gpu-card-faq.html It is very easy to check: Select Preferences>Performance and then uncheck "Use Graphics Processor". Close the dialog and restart Photoshop. When you restart Photoshop then try to use the Neural filter, and if it still doesn't work then you know that is not the issue and you can turn on the Graphics Processor in your Preferences again and restart.   If it does make a difference, then here is a link on Troubleshooting your Graphics Processor: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html Let us know if that helps?

Hi! This may be a basic question, but have you checked the compatibility with your Operating System and the version of Photoshop you are using? I only ask because I still use 2020 for producion purposes because I am on an older OS on my Mac and see some of the issues you are talking about with newer versions of Photoshop that might not be as compatible with my OS.   Here is a help doc to see if it is a compatibility issue: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html What version of Windows are you using?

Hi! A couple of questions for you! What verstion of Photoshop are you using? Did this just start happening, or did you upgrade anything and then it started happening?  And have you tried resetting your preferences?   To reset your preferences, here is a help doc that will walk you through the process--I would suggest doing it manually and follow the steps to back up any of your brushes, styles, etc. so you don't lose anything you've created. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html#BackupPhotoshoppreferences   Let us know the answers to the questions above, and if resetting the preferences fixes the issue or if you still need assistance.

Hi! I'd like to jump in and make an observation. It looks like the same Outer Glow Style is applied to a number of layers. Is that what you are looking for? It's very possible that you had multiple layers selected when you applied the style? or maybe copied the style to other layers? Is that what you want? If the glow is applied to a layer and you don't want it there, you can 1) turn off the visiblility by clicking the eye icon (I used to say poke the eye!) or if you know you definitely don't want it, then drag that Layer style layer (not the layer itself) to the trash and delete it.   If I am not understanding what you are trying to accomplish, please give me another description of what you are looking to create?    And can I make another suggestion? Keep in mind that contrast makes for a better (more readable) design. When you have light/multi-colored type against a light background, it will not be readable from a distance. If you don't want the hard drop shadow, then maybe make your background dark so that it contrasts with the light colored lettering.   Let us know how we can help, Michelle ... View more

Hi! I just want to say that it is a great idea to add the functionality of that inner circle/outer circle to know what part of the brush is feathered. One thing to remember -- the brushes in LR and CR are simulated--they are not the same actual pixel brushes you find in Photshop, They are stored information with the file, not like Photoshop where the brush lays down actual pixels.    With that said, it would be really helpful to have the softness spread dilineated in the PS brushes! Thanks, Michelle ... View more

Depending on what your final objective is--you can create one rectangle on a layer and duplicate the layer as many times as you want and then you will have the number of rectangles you need, all exactly the same size and can color them separatly. Then you will also be able to move the rectangles into place and have them act independantly from each other. Are you familiar with Layers?   Slices are for web design. They are used to cut a larger image up into smaller pieces to make a web page flow smoother and quicker (at least that's what we used to do!) and for ineractivity. I think Layers will accomplish what you want much easier and faster. Michelle ... View more
