What type of font is the font in question? Type 1 fonts are not supported in Photoshop version 23.0 or later. https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/fonts/kb/postscript-type-1-fonts-end-of-support.html

From the limited info I can see in your screenshot, you will need to either adjust the mesh or warp the projected image. To warp the image open it as a flat texture and use puppet warp to move just the corners of the mouth, using the UV as a guide. To be honest though, I would not use Photoshop for this. The 3D functionality in Photoshop v22 was limited, often unreliable, and is now discontinued. Adobe Substance Painter has much better tools for this job.

Amazing that their 'Ultimate guide' goes through an entire description of how to control colour without mentioning exactly which RGB profile or exactly which CMYK profile to use. It also suggests using Image > Image Mode to convert, which will convert to whatever default the user happens to have set in colour settings, rather than Edit > Convert to Profile and specifying the correct profile for their press. You summed it up nicely Stephen.

I can't replicate that here with v26.3 on Windows 11. Have you tried any troubleshooting steps such as a tool reset for the eyedropper tool or a preference reset?

It is not different, nothing has changed in Photoshop with those two tools. Perhaps you are looking back and thinking of Adobe Illustrator?

No - not text, although text is drawn as vector it is font based and not path based in the conventional sense. That would require you to Convert to Shape first which of course means it is no longer editable text. As for a vector based logo - path selection and direct selection should work provided it is still a vector shape. Dave

You can use those tools to move path based elements, such as paths or shapes. But raster based elements require the move tool.

The ability to type in math to various entry boxes was introduced a few versions ago and can be quite useful. I just checked that it also works with Canvas Size, which it does.

You do not say what pen and tablet you are using.
If it is a Wacom then you do not need the PSUserConfig file in the current version to use pen pressure. Remove it and ensure that the Wacom is set to use Windows Ink. Restart Photoshop. I use Wacom driver 6.3.42-2 here via Windows Ink with Photoshop 26.3 and have no issues with pen pressure.

Are you aware you can already type math direct into the input boxes? So in your example just type whatever the value is in length, as an example say 200 followed by*9/16 into the height box, so you would enter 200*9/16

Try this:
1. Ctrl+D to deselect anything you have seelected.
2. Add a new empty layer above your image and make sure it is selected in the layers panel.
3. Select the remove tool, but do not brush anything. 4. In the options bar ensure 'Sample all layers' is checked
5. In the options bar Click on Find distractions > Wires and Cables
6. That is it. The changes will be on that new empty layer which you can edit or mask further as required.
If that does not work, please post the image.

Your mask is pure white so there effectively is no mask in place for the density slider to control. Click on the mask in the layers panel and use Ctrl+I to invert it to black. Now the density control in properties will adjust the strength of that mask.

You rightly say that you need to get your colour management ducks in a row.
An RGB file just means that each pixel has values for red, green and blue. However, to display (or print) colours accurately it is important that the document also contains an embedded reference to what those RGB values represent. That is the document colour profile. The same RGB numbers represent different colours in sRGB and in Adobe RGB so it is very important that the profile is embedded and is maintained throught the process from creation through to printing.
There are also two other steps involved in matching what you see to what you print. First your monitor calibration and profile. Colour managed software such as Photoshop converts the RGB values in the document to those needed to display those colours on your screen. To do that it uses the monitor profile set in your operating system. It is important therefore that the profile is representative of your screen in its current settings. That is why it should and produced using a hardware device and associated software. That calibration and profiling ensures correct display. When calibrating you are offered the chance to set a white point (i.e. the brightest white). It is important for print matching that it is set to the brightness of your paper. Adjusting an image on a super bright glaring screen will always look darker when printed on paper.
The final stage is the printer profile. That should represent the media settings and inks used for the print. You can make printer profiles, I do that here, but manufacturer profiles are pretty good, provided you match the media settings they used when producing the profiles.
With a correct and embedded document colour profile, a correctly set up calibrated and profiled monitor, and a good printer profile there is no reason why you cannot get a good screen to printer match for your document.

Most screencapture software does not embed a colour profile. So, in your described workflow, you are sending your web application an image with the RGB values are being sent to your screen, using your display profile, but without any reference to that profile. Most browsers will take an image without an embedded profile and assume a default profile (usually sRGB) and display as if those image RGB values were referenced to sRGB. This is a real recipe for incorrectly displayed colour.
The recipe for controlled colour is to take the screenshot. Open it in an application such as Photoshop and assign the display monitor profile. Then convert to sRGB and embed that profile in the file when you save. That way browsers can work with the correctly referenced RGB values and display your images correctly. Even if the sRGB profile was to be stripped out at some stage, the default set up of most browsers will treat it as sRGB which will be a correct assumption given the steps above.

Arial is not an Adobe font but is usually installed in the operating system on Windows, and I believe also on macOS. Is Arial installed in your operating system and in your Library/Fonts folder?
I'll tag @jane-e who is our typeface expert and uses Macs.

Does a third party screencapture application exist that could take in account automatically the different colorspaces? I have a few screen capture apps installed here and all work the same way, they just capture the values being sent to the screen. 'For my needs, if I need to save a screencapture, open it, convert it, etc, meens that the time saved by screencapturing is juste wasted afterwards. ' It is very easy to record an action to assign the correct profile then convert to a standard document colour space, and, optionally, save the screenshot. I do that here so that one click on the action sorts it. You would need two such actions - one for each screen. Dave
