What I just upgraded to is 25.9.0. The Beta version is listed as 25.10.0. If there's still another version to come out that might explain the missing Generate Image button.

I have tried making a selection, but get exactly the same as what divinityrose posted. Works fine with the Beta version. Could it be another version with the Generate Image is coming out?

I have upgraded to 25.9.0 without and problems. However, Generative Fiill bar shows Import Image, but not Generate Image as an option. I've unistalled and reinstalled PS, but no change. Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks, everyone, for your help. Turns out I was able fix this problem in PS by doing an uninstall and reinstall PS 2024. The problem started when I uninstalled the Beta version.

Thanks for your reply. I have tried Save, Save As, Save as a Copy. And Command S (Macbook Pro). Makes no difference. Always saves back to the hard drive under that file name, but does not show in LrC Library Mode (or Develop) where I can work with it. If I do the same command again, LrC says that file already exists. Somehow it's hidden.

Each time I try to save a photo from PS to LrC I see it saved to the LrC hard drive folder, but not to the LrC Library where I can do any addtional edits. I've tried every format (tif, psd, jpg). No luck. Always goes to hard drive LrC folder exactly under that name, but never to LrC Library. The only thing I can do is save it to another folder under another name and Import. Thought this would be fixed with PS 2024, but no luck. Any ideas appreciated.

Looking back on some 8 year old photos, I see the cursor shows a minus (reduce) sign in the Develop mode for LrC. I know they had always had the plus (enlarge) sign. Any ideas on what happened and how to fix it? Thanks.

I've been holding off on doing this update for this reason. Does anyone know when Adobe will address this? Or, are they expecting Apple to fix it?

All good observations - btw the star on the cutting board was part of the State of Texas flag. Better to leave that off in the future.

Great information. Thanks. I have a hard time keeping things neutral. Forgot buyers do add their own effects. I did wonder about the label and tried to blur it with LR.

This photo was rejected for Technical Issues. I'm guessing clarity of the glass on the bottle and/or wine glass is what they are referring to. Before I redo this shoot and other food photography I would like to see if anyone sees anything else and has any recommendations. Thanks.

I need to do better with white balance. And, I should have adjusted the shutter speed. (I was in AV.) It was hand held. Didn't realize it was that low. No excuse, but I was shooting street photography by myself and not in a nice part of town. Wanted to get the shot and keep moving before I attracted attention so I didn't check my settings. I need to back there with a friend.

Thanks. That does help. Next week, I'll be switching to mirrorless with the R6. Another learning curve.

I think I figured it out. The latest photo posted is according to those specs you gave me. I appreciate all your help with this.

When I try to resize this image I get an error message that it exceeds the max of 10024K. What dimensions should it be set at in order to be under the max? It has not been cropped so it far exceeds this limit.

I drop them straight from LrC to Adobe Stock as RAW. Adobe Stock converts them to jpeg at whatever resolution they determine. I believe that's 300 dpi. And, I've reposted the photo below at a resolution of 500. Hope that gives you a better look.

Thanks for your quick reply. I do shoot in RAW, but submitted my samples in jpeg to make sure they weren't too big for posting. Thanks, again, for your input.

Attached are a couple of my most recent "technical issues" rejections. (There were many in this batch.) I'm at a loss as to what the problem is. Some accepted look almost exactly the same. Maybe a fresh set of eyes can spot something. Does anyone have a checklist they use before you submit? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Ricky - thanks for your valuable input. All that does give me something to work with. BTW - what you may be referring to as lens flare in the second photo is actually a sun halo. An atmospheric phenomena of a ring around the sun. What you see is the same way it was seen by the naked eye.

New to Adobe Stock. Like others before me, having trouble understanding rejections for Technicial Issues. Have read previous posts and watched tutorials, but still at a loss. (Frankly, some "accepted" I don't feel are as good as some rejected.) Would I have a better chance of being accepted if I just posted straight out of camera without any editing? Probably not feasible, but sure would be helpful is there was detailed information on the rejections. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. (I posted 3 rejections.).

Are there simple steps or a video showing how to move Creative Cloud (LrC and PS) from my old MacBook Pro to a new one? I do back up in Time Machine, but because I have a 2011 Pro, I don't want to chance moving 9 years of junk apps and old files. Someone posted Migrating Asst doesn't work with Adobe (?). Install CC on new computer and then move Catalog and Photos over from an external hard drive? Thanks for any suggestions.

When I try to upgrade my LrC and PS programs on my 2011 MacBook Pro I'm being told my OS "is not compatible" and needs to be upgraded to at least 10.14. When I try to upgrade my High Sierra (10.13.6) to Catalina (10.14), I get a message from Apple that my computer is too old for anymore upgrades. Is buying a new computer my only option? If so, can someone recommend a Mac Book Pro model that will handle all my photo needs, but not break the bank? (I'm retired and photography is my main hobby.) Finally, can someone recommend a cloud storgage both reasonably priced and user friendly? (I was told not to consider Mac Book Air because it's slow in processing photos and videos.) Any suggestions are appreciated.
