This was posted in January of 2024. It is now November 2024. Has this been changed? I can't figure a way to do anything but change the size. A year ago, I had to use straight line text instead of curved. We are revising this project and I'd really like to curve the text in an oval. Is there a way to do this yet?

I just had this issue as well. Jane's answer just takes me back to this thread, not to an answer. I tried what everyone said - using .old - and that seems to have worked (so far). However, all of my recent files are gone. The recent files on the home screen now start 1 month ago. Am I right in assuming I can't get those back and I'll just have to remember what I've worked on in the last month? Does anyone know what causes this so I can prevent it from happening again?

Every time I try to turn off neural filters with the little eye icon to see a before and after, I'm getting a message "Neural Filters has exceeded the timeout limit." The latest is with the harmonization filter. It has happened several times. I can't remember if any of the other filters are doing the same thing. I've seen this issue posted for earlier versions of Photoshop. I am on public Version 25.9.0 on Windows 11 and this has only recently started. I do not have the beta version downloaded, but I did at some point (I got tired of it taking over as the default PS version no matter what I did so I uninstalled it) so I don't know if this would be interfering. Since it has been requested in earlier posts, I'm including my Photoshop system info here in a text file. It takes a long time for it to come back - I'm almost ready to not use the neural filters anymore. Thanks for any help you can give me. Marcy

I used the remove tool on the power lines and poof - they were gone!

Once again, I have to go to Photoshop. All I want to do is remove 4 thin power lines covering clouds. I've tried 3 times and it has done a pretty bad job. I was able to remove power lines in the same photo that were over land - it did a much better job there.

Once again, it did not remove, it replaced. I wanted to get rid of half a flower left in the frame after I cropped. I did 3 generations and it replaced it with another flower every time. I wanted it gone and replaced with surrounding stems. I ended up going to Photoshop, using the Remove tool there which worked perfectly, and then back to Lightroom to continue.

I was trying to remove a leaf. Instead of removing it, it just kept giving me different leaves. It did not act like an eraser.

Now April 2024 and I found this thread. I downloaded Adobe Digital Editions to my computer so I would not have to use up DropBox space. I've re-downloaded my books twice. The iPad STILL does not see them. I downloaded the books on the iPad and let it default - and it defaulted to Books. I will definitely UNINSTALL this - it does now work.

Yes, they do look the same! Mine did not used to look this way. The edges of the circle used to be much smoother, even at 0% hardness. It almost makes me wonder if I had something turned off that should have been turned on. Thanks for taking the time to show me yours. I feel like maybe the issue is not as drastic as it has seemed to me.

@J E L OK, let me try to address these one at a time. Yes, it happens whatever brush size I use. It even happened when I used the soft round brush as an eraser. I also tried it at several hardnesses. It seems to be there all the way to 100%. With each step - I went up in 25's - the amount of It actually did not have anything to do with the operating system. I just wanted to be sure whoever answered knew I was using the most up-to-date version of Windows 11. It actually happened when I was trying to do something in the brush options bar. I clicked something, or several somethings, and that is when it went wonky. I do not know how to do a full preferences reset. I also did not know avbout the Creative Cloud Cleaning Tool. I'll look them up and try them. I have the latest GPU driver and have Studio not Gaming installed. Interestingly, to that point, this GPU has never seen Photoshop. It sees Lightroom and Davince Resolve, but not Photoshop when I search for apps. But that has been since November 2022 so I don't think that has anything to do with this issue, which started much more recently. There are just too many variables here - Photoshop, brushes, GPU, Wacom tablet. I had them all way before this started. It is starting to look like I may have to actually reinstall Photoshop. I did not want to but I can't think of anything else. I do a lot of composting and this brush is getting very annyoing. I wish I could figure out some way to show it. I just had an idea. Since I could not get a screen shot to work, I took a photo of my screen and am attaching it here. The brush was at 600 size and 0% hardness. Hopefully that will help show you how my soft round brush now looks. The first photo is the brush. The second it when I tapped it once. (They are not great photos. They both have moire effects from either the phone or the window - please ignore those. Just look at the edge of the brush and the little white that showed up in the tapped photo.) Thanks.

@J E L I have tried the brush on different layers, different documents, different colors. It even has the weird edge when I use it as an eraser. With that brush selected, I've reset the tool and then I reset all tools. That did not work either. I tried clicking the little icons to the right of both flow and opacity. The cog wheel to the right of smoothing options is grayed out. Here are the screen shots you asked for. Top options bar: Brush Tip Shape: Shape Dynamics: The only other thing checked is smoothing and that just clicks on and off. I'd rather not uninstall and reinstall Photoshop if I can avoid it but that is all I can think of to do next. I really appreciate your taking the time to help with this. Marcy

That is the first thing I checked, both in the options bar and in the layers panel since I was not sure which might do this. Both were set to normal. I wish it had been that easy! Thanks.

I am using the newest version of Photoshop on a completely updated Windows 11 PC. I changed something but I don't know what. Now my soft round brush has a diffused looking perimeter edge and only draws about half the size inside. The hard round brush seems to be working fine. I tried a sampling of my other brushes and they all seem fine. It is only the basic soft round brush. I checked brush settings, I reset the brush settings, I reset all the tools settings. Nothing has worked. I can't take a screenshot of the brush because when I try the actual brush disappears. I tried drawing it but I can't get that to look good enough to show the issue. I'm hoping this makes sense to someone out there who can tell me how to reset that brush so it looks like it is supposed to, not like it was created with a diffusion pattern around it. Please ask anything you need to help me figure this out. I appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks, Marcy

Johan, OK - I got lucky. When I went into the Creative Cloud desktop app to uninstall them, there was an update to Photoshop. I decided to try that to see if that would supercede the uninstalled beta block between Lightroom and Photoshop and it worked! I don't have to uninstall apps! Phew! Thanks so much for your help.

Do you think I'm OK to save the preferences for the new install - will that be enough to fix this issue? Or should I take the time to export presets, brushes etc. and start from scratch? Thanks!

I am on a Windows 11 desktop PC with the latest versions of all software loaded. The other day, I uninstalled Photoshop Beta as I no longer need it and everything was defaulting to it whether I wanted it to or not. Now Lightroom Classic won't see Photoshop at all. When I right clicik to Edit in Photoshop, it is grayed out. When I went to Preferences to see if it was there, that box is also grayed out. The box below it to edit as psd or tiff is available and it is set to psd. I also have On1 and Boris Fx Optics installed as plugins and Lightroom sees all of those. Does anyone have any ideas how to get Lightroom to see Photoshop as an editor? Thanks.

If you mean Instagram, I have a business account. Facebook sees it. Express won't.

I've read through olders posts on this and do not understand a lot of it so I'm starting again. I'm a new Express user and am trying to create an Instagram carousel. I think I got it all ready - a title page and 5 5-second video pages. I've been trying for several hours to connect Instagram to Express. After I click Connect with Facebook, I get a message saying I do not have an Instagram Business account to connect. Except that I do!! I have been a Facebook user for many years. I watched the video I found in another thread that showed how to connect, and when I get to the part that says Pages, Facebook says I do not have any pages. The video is https://youtu.be/m5C-a6DnHpw?si=SJhC6qGSU2RlcvDn. So, several questions: 1) Even though I have a Facebook account, do I need another Page of some sort for Instragram to see? (I really do not want more than one Facebook page!) 2) There was a point, and I cannot remember at all where it was, where my Facebook account and my Instagram account were actually listed under Facebook accounts. But is was not where https://youtu.be/m5C-a6DnHpw?si=SJhC6qGSU2RlcvDn said it was. 3) My Instagram and Facebook accounts have different emails. Would that be a problem? 4) I came across something called Meta Business Suite in one of the threads. When I click on that, it wants me to create a page. As I said, I thought I had a page! For something called Express, it does not really feel very Express-like! I'm not looking to grow any huge following or anything. I just wanted to post something I've done. It has taken me more than twice as long to try to figure this out as it did to learn how to create the videos! Any ideas on how to make this work/make this easier would be appreciated. I'm just about ready to never use Express again!

I've decided to leave the flyer in Affinity. It already exists there. I've taken the time once to re-create it in Express. I do not think I want to take the time to re-create it yet again in Photoshop, which is really not for this purpose. My hope was to be able to consolidate in the Adobe apps offered in the Photography bundle and not have to use anything else but that was not to be. If Express ever allows text hyperlinks, maybe I'll consider going back to this. But for now, Express does not fit my needs. Thanks.

I am in the same situation. I'm re-creating a flyer to be emailed as a pdf. The original was created in Affinity Publisher and nothing copied with the text as far as formatting at all - font, size, tabs, hyperlinks. I do not have InDesign or Adobe Pro. I know the premise behind Express is to be easy however in my opinion, this is a basic text function and should be possible in Express if one option is to create a flyer. I do have Photoshop - I'll try it there and see if it works.

As I said in my original post, I've tried this over and over and it won't work. Uninstalling the beta version and then reinstalling it every time I want to work on it is not a good option either. I wish Adobe would just fix this already.

Well, sort of an update but by no means a solution. Yesterday there was an update to the public version of Photoshop. Now the default when I double click a file to open it is back to the public version of Photohop, where I want it. That said, I assume the next update if it is to the beta version will switch it back. For the moment it does what I want it to. But who knows how long it will last. Hopefully Adobe will still look at these issues!

@Kevin Stohlmeyer I'm not sure I totally understand your answer. In the Windows settings I have chosen the 24.5 version many times as the version I want to open the app. It still opens a psd or jpg file in beta if I double click the file, which is how I've opened files for years. Your link is how I've been doing it and it won't set it. Even if I right-click and say Open with, choosing 24.5 STILL opens the beta version. Also, I can't open the beta and 24.5 at the same time - Windows 11 won't seem to allow that. From what I've seen in chats in videos introducing 24.5 May 2023 version, others can't either. As for saving the presets, that has been my preference since CC first became a desktop app. And it does not always work. I did just uncheck remove previous version so if I need anything from the previous version, I should have it. I wonder if I crossed some wires somewhere. I'd really hate to have to uninstall and reinstall both of them, so I'm going to wait for now. Thanks.

@rossk44716372 - I tried that - the Beta still opened. I'm just hoping that with the next update of the public version, making it the latest installation, that the public version will become the default again. Thanks.

I'm not going to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop because every time I do, I lose my brushes, my workspace, and my actions and I'm tired of rebuilding everything. Maybe there will be a Photoshop update soon that will let me switch. Or I'll uninstall the beta version for now. I know installing a beta version csomes with risk but I did not expect not being able to assign a file extension was one of them. Thanks.

How do I change the default app for .psd and .jpg files back to the public Photoshop? I know how to assign this in the settings and have done it in settings several times. It still defaults to the beta when I double click to open a file. I do NOT want the beta version to be the default to open a document, and I do not want to have to open Photoshop first and then go file.open every single time I want to use it. If there is not answer for this, I will uninstall beta - as much fun as generative fill is, it is not that important to me to have it. I do have the newest versions of both installed. Also, in Windows, is there any way to have both the public and beta versions open at the same time? Thanks, Marcy
